Mini Skirts and Mesh

Form and figure study. 1.5hrs

Right away, I can see her head is way to big and not at the right angle, thankfully that wasn't y goal, the shadows are too small on the wall, colors are a little too de-saturated again. She isn't leaning at the correct angle, which is why her hands and legs are wrong, her left leg, is also very twisted. Ugh

went back in... so this what i came up with.

Horse Rider WIP

Just a standard WIP. 30 min

Studies and Imaginations

A set of Loomis Studies along with basic applications. :D

Learning Loomis

This week, on top of my normal studies, I plan to reserve time for doing some Loomis head studies. Faces in general are my major weak point, and I plan on addressing that this week. So my goal is to start understanding the basics of how the head is shaped and constructed in both digital and traditional media.

The book i will be reading form can be found here. http://alexhays.com/loomis/.

Wish me luck.
