Hand Practice

I decided that I need to start focusing on specific thing and drawing those if I want to improve, so today I spent around 2 hours just drawing hands. Hands are a weakness for myself, I don't particularly like drawing them but I want to overcome that fear so I spent some time trying to figure out forms and and folds and how fingers are positioned etc. It's clear I'm going to need to study the anatomy in much more detail, but I'm happy that I'm starting to overcome my artistic fears and tackling them head on instead.

Acrylic Painting | Bladehead

I tried my hand at acrylic painting again..I think I spent about 1.5-2 hours on this, sketch, mixing paint, etc in total. I think it was starting to turn into a good base for a more detailed pass. Traditional painting is much more difficult than digital, colors don't mix the way you'd expect. Acrylic just basically paints right over the previous color/value you had. I only had black and white paint, so I was just throwing down some value. It was fun and fairly relaxing!
