did some more in-depth skull studies, although personally i think i should get away from my obsession with heads and start learning some real anatomy… in other areas i mean. :’D

i always get told that doing things in monochrome and then adding color later is a very good way to start out in coloring because it’s easier to see values. so i actually tried it, for the first time ever hahah. um not done at all, but maybe i’ll try working on it more sometime…

I’ve been way too tired lately to post up good descriptions.
I went to my friend’s art class the other day and joined in on her painting class. And man, I realized how deficient I am with paints and traditional media. I was pretty ashamed because my painting was the worst in the room…

i was about to go into an art slump where i was convinced that i would never improve, especially because today i got the  generic comments, “your guys look like girls and your girls look like guys. you draw anorexic people.” and i’ve really been working on fixing both of those, so to hear that, [...]
