Still getting caught up with the assignments, I chose the intermediate challenge and decided to paint a still life of a tea cup I own. It was challenging to paint as the light kept shifting, but I really enjoyed the process as I don't paint from life very often (though after painting this I will certainly try to make more time for this kind of practice).

I decided to try the intermediate challenge (I'm a bit late submitting these, but I'm trying to get caught up now that I have more time to dedicate to my studies).
Any feedback/critique is welcome! :)

Thank you so much for the critique! I haven't really used the curves adjustment layer much in the past, but seeing it applied to the different color ranges was really neat, I'll definitely test that out on future artwork. I notice I almost always have an issue with my shadows being too saturated on my paintings, so the color range selection tool will be very helpful for keeping that in check going forward. Thanks again for another great lesson!

I had a lot of fun with this assignment, it was interesting to experiment and see how using different colors and lighting impacted the final result. Keeping everything on separate layers definitely helped expedite the process.
I ended up painting something similar to the demo and chose a meadow as a background. I also used various blending modes and adjustment layers to change the lighting on the figure from cool lights/warm shadows to warm lights/cool shadows in order to better reflect the setting. Thanks again for another great lesson!

Here are my assignments for the neck muscles. I tried to do a few anatomy tracings along with my quick sketches. Any feedback is welcome! :)

A bit late but I finished my assignment. I followed along with the video and used a similar painting process. I'm fairly happy with the result, though I do think some of the shading (particularly on the fabric in the basket) could be improved, I still have a bit of a hard time getting the image to look as realistic as I'd like. Any feedback would be most appreciated! :)
