In this demo, I will be using the one of the references images I provided during the grayscale painting lesson and demonstrating a different method I use when painting in grayscale.

The process with this brush was really difficult, couldn't used it effectively so I am not sure I enjoyed it, for now atleast. Blending was hard, especially with the coloured sketch. But since I was way out my comfort zone, I learned a lot, and even with my lack of anatomy knowledge and wrong decisions (the right arm mainly), I quite like the result. I wanted to blend with a soft brush but thought it was needed to stay with incomfortable brushes.

It is very hard to control these brushes but I'm having a lot of fun blending with them!

I like John's approach using the under-painting. I started my image the same way and then finished the rendering in color.

Hey, here is my try, I have a hard time finding simple shapes and being thoughtful about brush strokes that I’m putting down, but thinking about it as an assignment really helps to finish the painting even when you’re not confident enough

I need a bit of help mostly with the legs they look airbrushy I don't know why, thanks in advance.

Here is my assignment. I know it has a lot of mistakes but it is the first time I use a digital software for painting (procreate). I'm gonna do my best to improve! Any feedback would be really appreciated.

This is my assignement after 1h40 minutes , I'm okay with the result, It's still pretty rough but I wanted to see what would be the result without spending to much time on it. However, I think I'm gonna refine it later

About 7 hours, maybe 6 if I cut AFK moments from it. I recorded my whole process this time, nothing special. I still struggle a lot with small details but I am starting to really like the double sided brush.
Near the end I ended up switching to the non textured solid double brush and it immediately made detailing so much easier. I don't know what it is with the first double bristle brush, but it loses a lot of coherence at small sizes, like the texture overrides it, still had a bit of trouble even at 3000+ pixels.
I could definitely use a lot of face work too, might need to go over that course again. Hmm, surprisingly having more difficulty with faces than hands.

Hi guys.
So I decided to give this one another go, the second one (white bg) was 10 months ago. This feels like a big improvement, yet I feel like I'm completely lost, it feels like this is too much for me.
Any feedback would be really helpful and much appreciated.

Here is my attempt. Using those textured oil brushes was definitely a challenge but it was a fun experiment, Looking back I could have spent more time blending the legs but I figured I could leave it at that because they're not so much in focus.

Had to redraw the figure 5 times, and really hard to pay attention to blending. Feel like I could've gotten darker in a couple of spots but this came out pretty well.

it takes some more time to get familiar, probably would learn more along the course

So, I'm starting to figure out this sketch. I'll post it soon need to fine tune a couple things, my question here is w/ toning the canvas in PS. I've used the gradient tool, how do you get that sprayed look to the figure? Is there a function or set up you need to use?
