   good to see you do more practices, focus more on proportion and anatomy as I feel you make up the characters a lot just from your mind, look at Loomis figure drawing book it teaches you everything about basic, about rendering you have similar problem like peter so check my comments on his, I did a quick painting on your previous black and white drawing so you know what i mean problems

   Thanks Herman and yes you are right, most of these are from my head. Its just when I do a bit of study on an arm or figure, I get the sudden urge to do my mine own thing which doesnt help me at all. Ive really got to get a hold of it

   Heres a bit more stuff, currently in the process of moving to hopefully a faster internet connection and cooler house close to the city. I wont have a scanner where we are living so I'll be drawing in photoshop until I can afford one! Also, since im living closer I can now get to life drawing classes which is awsum!

   Hey guys, been busy moving into my new place and still haven't got the internet up. The first couple are life studies with crappy values and the rest are studies and my own stuff.

   Thanks Peter, yea i seem to always be pulled away from a life study just when im about to start defining it. Although this week I pulled through and kinda finished one! Not happy with the values though

   Hey moojuice, quick comment on the last one - the blue in your rim light is nearly as warm as the main light hitting the character, you need to shift the chroma of that blue towards something a bit cooler - try using a soft light layer with a light brush and a dark green/blue. It's a hack way of doing it, but should do the job.

   Also that character is off balance and looks like it would fall over to the left

   Thanks Devin! The priestess looks shitloads better and yea, ive got to do ALOT of value practise. Also are there any tricks or things to check for the correct value in a painting? Like switch the mode to grayscale or something of the sort?

   Havnt been on here for a while cause of my final year animation short film. Ive seen, drawn and revised waaaayyy too many storyboards over the last week. I never want to see another one again -__- Anyways, there is some colour studies using a hard brush with no opacity, so i focus on squinting my eyes and getting the colours right the first time. The second is a banner that I made for our animated film, its me and my team mates.
