Constructed gestures and Sunstone copies.

Another Ctrl+paint exercise this time looking at foreground, middle ground and background. I took a bunch of stills from the movie Pacific Rim and now I'm going to break up some of the frames into just those three sections with various shades of grey. Should be interesting because of the kaiju and the jeagers size and thats the reason I chose this movie. well that and the fact that it was an awesome movie directed by onw of my favorite directors Guillermo Del Toro.

These ones aren't as finished as I would like but still good. Also Sunstone copies. 

Another boring but practical exercise from ctrl+paint. The goal here was to blend between the faces on these shapes. I think I did alright.

This kind of exercise shows me how much I still need to work on with my anatomy. But it also shows me how far I've come in the last couple of years because there is no way I could have done something like this a couple of years ago.

Some ctrl + paint blending exercises. Boring to look at but useful to do.

 Trying out something a little different. I did six poses and then spent some time putting the muscles on them. I think that it came out pretty good. Also Sunstone copies.

These took a little longer than I wanted them to, each square took about two hours and overall I feel pretty good about them. The two on the right are my favorites.

Part two of the Oatley academy Magic Box assignment. I think that this came out good. It needs some clean up but it will look better after I paint it. I had a VERY LONG day today so I wasn't able to post until now. I'll post again later today after I get some sleeeeep. glorious sleeeeeeeeep.
