   Arg, I agree with both of you, so i stopped that one, Going to do some from the reference section And I think ill get stuck into some master studies now thanks to Herman explaining how plumb lines work >___<

   But anyway, here is some studies from hogarth, I wasn't being that careful with them as i was just doing them as quick as I could to refresh the rules in my mind. I also usually don't draw hogarth studies on the computer but I thought I would this time to show the sort of thing I do in pencil till I get a scanner.

   Thanks Peter

   Here is a study I started, not so sure now if it was the best choice looking at it now. Everything about painting it is confusing me. I've started over a few times now, but I thought I would post it as it is for tonight.

   I was shown this procedure but it seems like a 3d render rather than a real painting.

   So is it best to block in say, the mid range colours, then shadows, and finally lights? I need some sort of procedure so its not just a big mess of splotches.
   :/

   Also to add to peter, check the size of the head! The head in your one looks a bit too big, try using plumb lines to cross check to make sure you got the size right.

   Hi Peter and rayk,

   I see what you guys mean, I was using plumb lines while I was drawing, obviously not enough. Anyway, I tried adjusting this one last night and attempted blocking in the colours while zoomed out as far as I was able.

   Hi Robert. Peter and Rayk pretty much summed it up, but I thought I'd post a mark-up I did to show you how close you are. You only need to make minor tweaks. The overall height is just about spot on so it's just what's in between

   more attempts, the value is wrong though as herman pointed out, and the colour, and everything pretty much so I will do a new one.

    I am agree about the values and want to add that the head construction is little bit wrong look for example the nose yours is too long and thin and your face in overall is longer than the ref one keep working on it! cya!!!
