Fun fun

Was messing around with Master Hanna's process and did a selfy.  The resemblance is off but it was fun to bust regardless.

This was a quick drawing of my gf.  Hotness yo!

Just trying to group my values a bit more, and exploring some more form modeling.

Junkyard

Pardon the dump, there is a variety of junk in here.  Most of it is practice and exercise.  Some other stuff is WIP not finished ideas.  Some I will return to, some I wont.  I figure its just good to post some different styles of work and get some feedback.  I have mainly been focusing on getting my form and lighting foundation down a bit more.  It has been a weakness of mine, and only in the last year have I been able to identify it and am currently trying to relearn and practice it a bit more.

I have been using these as well as various books to help me understand it more thoroughly.  Hopefully this can help some of you out there, and please if you know if any other resources or books, I would love and appreciate any recommendations! :D

Cowboy Lineup WIP

This is my progression so far on those cowboy thumbs I posted earlier. I am enjoying using these pieces as practice for the techniques and mindsets I have be reading/watching about lately. 1st guy started out as my fav, now its a tie between the one armed rifleman (boss), or Seargent dueler.
