A little more monochromatic but other than that I think that it came out pretty good.

Hands, mouths and eyes. Not much else to say about this stuff. Kinda under the weather right now so the brain isn't working at 100%.

 I think that there are some proportional issues here. Her upper body seems to be to big in relation to the rest of her, part of this could be the angle of the photograph but it still looks like I put to much emphasis on the upper body.

Drawing the head from various angles is one of those things that I have struggled with ever since I started drawing, so I decided to just do a bunch of heads from some different angles. I think that the 3/4 angle is the most difficult for me to draw from a low or high angle. On the left there's a character that I just kind of came up with for fun. I imagined her being an goddess of the ocean or an aquatic spirit of some kind.

 I like the way that the dual light sources worked here. I think that I should have made the light coming from the left a bit cooler to contrast more with the warm light from the right. Other than that I think it came out pretty good.

Another bunch of random drawings. A few faces, a Silurian, Sara Pezzini, and a little sister from Bioshock. Also a bunch of noses and ears.

 After experimenting for the last week I think that I'll be going back to the way I've been painting with maybe some modifications. I spent to much time getting the line drawing done here and not enough time doing the color part, but it was showing some good progress.

Sketch book stuff from the end of last December, if Santa Clause wasn't a dead giveaway. There's also a dragon and a woman who I think where meant to be the same being that could just shape shift. At the top of the page I did a very poor sketch of a mans face, I was going to take it into Photoshop and paint it but this sketch came out so poor that I just redid the drawing later on better paper. In addition to all of that I have a bunch of eyes, with different expressions and from different angles.

Yeah most of posts are going to be like that for about a month just because my sketch book gets a lot of use and there's rarely any kind of connection between the different drawings.

 So I was trying to block in the shadows, mid tones and highlights and then start blending it. I obviously never got to the blending part. This method might work for some artists but I don't think that this way of approaching a picture works for me.

Did some detailing on the ship. Tried to get the railing to look like polished wood and I think that its getting there, I also worked on the stairs and other bits of the ship. I've started a second job (art related yay!) so this is going to have to wait until the weekend to get finished until then I do have a ton of sketch book stuff that I've been holding onto for just such an occasion.

 Tried something new here and I think that the result came out a little soft looking. I might use this type of technique for a background elements but not for foreground elements, I do think that the colors came out good.

I painted the hair here, it might take another couple of hours to get the hair exactly the way I want but I think that this is headed in the right direction.

 So I tried to draw in the areas of the shadow before going in and painting. I think the problem with that is that it takes up to much time for a thirty minute drawing so while I don't think I'll be doing that for these poses I think it could come in handy on longer drawings.

Started painting over the lines here. Focusing on the suit and the skin first. I also refined some areas of her face and painted her eyes. Next will be the hair followed by the various background elements.
