Procrastination from writing an essay for my art course :S.
I'm not very happy as I continue my course. It has good tutors and it is a reasonably good place to study...but I'm upset with the lack of fundamentals. We had 1 term of fundamentals last year and that was about it. So now I'm trying to learn the fundamentals by myself but what is stopping me is my art course :I.
Le sigh.
And darn it! My paintings look too stylized i need to tighten up my crap D:

Wip

No uni don't make me work D:

Uni work is going to get pretty intense in the next few weeks so i wont be able to paint a lot :<.
Due to the work I don't know if i will be able to finish these which is quite worrying cause I have a problem of not finishing stuff.
The last image is a photograph study.
oh and i have seen these pieces on three different monitors each showing different results...So which one is right i have no idea :S.

Huh fancy that.

Daily study.
I've always had trouble painting skin on my characters and now i know why. I never practiced painting skin ._. Should of pushed the values on this but dang identifying values on skin is hard!

I be grinding

Been doing daily studies. It's not my photograph so I don't claim rights or anything :). Just practicing.

Feeling down lately. I don't feel like I'm improving and also I'm a bit overwhelmed whenever I visit one of the cg forums. Bottom images are studies, the lady is a cos-player called priestess-Shizuka.

I'm slow. The slowest there is...D:

Wow! This is taking quite a while. All of this still dynamesh ahhhhhhh.
Research and concept are important. They provide simple solutions, a multitude of answers.
Without these two, the designer has no stable ground, repeating their mistakes over and over. Without the research and concept the designer is lost.
I should of done this from the starrtt....D:
