@sas It'll be easier for us to help if you start a new thread and post some examples 
Gonna keep doin' character refs. Might bundle them and stick them in the portfolio in a webcomic section.
@braden-hallett Nice character design!
I promise I'll stop spamming this thread at some point :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:
At some point the main character has to 'run away from home' (home being a spaceship). Spare part escape pod!
Just playing with character ideas for a story of mine
#TimerTuesday 2019 Number 4 was a portrait so I have a 1 hour long (Sunday), a 1.5 hour long (yesterday) and decided to try black and white and practise blending so its a practise WIP (today).
I also made pencil drawings of my two Inktobers for my neighbour. I found out she didnt want painted copies (which I already painted one in gouache/pencil crayon) but no matter I redid them. I don't have them scanned yet.
@braden-hallett Love the spaceship!
@Braden-Hallett it’s not spam! I like seeing your posts. 
Getting ready to transfer my collaboration with @kaitlinmakes to watercolor paper. Old school. Who still colors the whole backside of their art for transferring?
So just completed my black and white practise portrait to work on blending (really does help in grey scale -question? Is there an SVS class that explains how to turn grey scale to colour? I have been trying YouTube videos but find them not as helpful as I'd like). I also used Liquefy better and only if I had to. Thanks (roughly 3 hours).

Be blessed,
@Heather-Boyd The 10 step digital painting course does somewhat. Will Terry does a traditional "Grisaille" method, but digital. It's a good baseline. If you look a bit into that approach you'll see that greyscale first, as the grisaille technique, subjugatess your color to your value very strongly and tends to be used most in tight academic styles. If you want the focus on the color and not to lose the subtle color shifts of the face, you may need to focus on value matching but repaint with opaque color.
Fixed some wonky perspective. Gonna finish this one for mebbe portfolio.
Right now I've decided I need to do more "master study" copies, so I'm starting with my first-ever favorite illustrator, Brett Helquist.
Here's my latest effort!

@Braden-Hallett Wow. I love the shading on your pictures. They are so 3-dimensional and the lines are clean and easy to follow.
@Braden-Hallett Great idea! I will do that. Thanks!
