Decided to buckle down and practice Loomis heads this month. Not sure how to know when to move beyond the structures to the next stage.

@MissMushy In my opinion, if you've put in a good amount of effort into a stage, applying the information as you go, feel free to move on, even if you aren't 100% solid. It's normal to keep going back through to review and clarify information. Sometimes info won't click the first time around and you need other types of exercises, info, and time.

Have you checked out Proko's youtube videos on Loomis head construction? They are awesome!

[MissMushy]

@TessaW thanks yes, I am reviewing Proko’s videos - also contemplating doing his portraits course. Will just keep practising - my goal is 100 heads this month.

@Braden-Hallett These are giving me life. The last one in particular has so much good energy and tension in the posing of the mouse, reinforced with the thicks-to-thins on the ink work. Elegant and fun all at the same time!

@Coreyartus This makes me tired just thinking about it. What a tremendous amount of creative output this takes.

I want to the art gallery yesterday and spent some time doing a rough sketch study of Three Washer Women by Léon Augustin Lhermitte. Today I decided it would be fun to riff off that painting with bears, so here is the painting and my preliminary sketch of the bears.

Thank you I'm really enjoying drawing these mice!

@Braden-Hallett I love those big animal pictures! Would be nice to see a story with them.

This is what kept me busy the last couple of days:
The map for a fantasy novel I've written together with a friend a long time ago. We want to publish it finally.

Next will be the cover.

I think this is the first year since Highschool I've been able to hammer out a remembrance day piece.

I'm working on some pencilwork pieces and sketches this month. This is one I just finished. I'm trying to do at least 5 in a variety of buildings, organic, etc

Kitbash spaceship I made. I'm working on making a little scifi 'scene' with my sculptures.

Stupid human. There's snow outside. Snow means stay in burrow. Stupid human.
