I love to paint and draw and all of the process that goes into the journey of mastery.

Took another crack at “Nicolai”. First did this over a year ago in the summer, I believe. Graphite 2h and 2B and white chalk on toned gray strathmore 400 paper.

Awesome, dude! I was looking through your old work and you progressed a lot. You're handling better your shapes, you are designing your values with more intention and also your proportions gotten more consistent too. There's two things that I think you can improve. I would like to suggest that you study the Reilly rhythms to relate one side of the face to the other. There's a few minor incongruencies here and there. It's nothing serious, it's stuff that you'd get away in a comic book page for example, but in a portrait we spend more time looking at the face...so studying Reilly rhythms would help you lock the shapes of one side to the other. Studying the Asaro Head and the skull would help too and also improve your knowledge of structure. The other thing is how you're handling hair. Observe how more experienced artists draw thinning hair. I like to group the shapes and using a stump to create lost edges with the background. It's kinda the same thinking Stan uses to draw eyelashes (Review the video of drawing the eyes) But again, man. Congratulations. You worked really hard and it's paying of. Keep drawing and best regards

Excellent! I love the two-tone. Great progress. The shading course paid dividends.

Spent 4 hours on this, still lots of island hunting to do, but I’m not very happy with the egg itself. The shape of the egg is not round enough and the core shadow is too dark I think. Thankful for any advice

“Freedom To Haunt” inspired by Norman Rockwell’s Freedom From Want. Ended up being a great learning experience and exercise! A lot of fun.

Hello, I also tried making acrylic paint chart but never end up blending it this perfectly. Do you have any tips for me?
