100 Head Challenge
-
@JerrySketchyArt yeah I can feel each one getting a little better and faster. It is interesting too as I have a simplified style that I draw people in and figuring it out for the variety of faces has been interesting.

Day 7... had to finish late last night. Some days are too busy for the challenge.

Day 8 - Getting close. I really love the reference that the guy put together for this challenge. It has been great to draw so many different faces.

@JerrySketchyArt Yeah for sure! And the thing I like most about it is that you can optimise your practice by using material in stages. I feel like I improve sketching by doing a base sketch, inking when I ink it traditionally, and digital painting when I scan it into my iPad. It's far more efficient than drawing a new digital sketch and painting that.

@theprairiefox Congrats! Good job making it through.

@theprairiefox Well done! and yes indeed some days life is too busy for a challenge-so I go with stick with it until done, even if it takes more than the suggested days.
I've been continuing on-how can I pivot the original challenge to do more work-for-me, i.e. use the paradigm to serve my goals. I try to do this with many of these exercises. So I'm working on another 100 heads, this time, drawing characters in my comic-in-development.
I'm also using some comic references (in addition to photo images)--these are taken from work by Doug Holgate, artist for Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles. I'm using these to find an expression I need to convey the emotion in a panel that I need, and then practicing expressing that in my character's head. And continued work on trying to make my characters look consistent.
