Gdsworld Sketch

I joined an online stream and I joined in painting, the endresult was something like a fail. I jumped too quickly to details. Gotta create shapes first and then go in with details. Good learning experience.

I got the topic from my facebook friends, thsi one is a "Faun".

Caricature sketch 2

Another one, they are just really fun to do, even though this one turned out bad for several reasons:

-Reference:  This was a very low res image of somebody I have never even spoken to. There was  no interesting light, couldn't zoon in to get any details.
- Poor brushwork. I think because the reference image had such little info to go by, I started brushing things up randomly to make it interesting. But I need to have less strokes with more information.

But making bad images is just as important as making good ones. As long as we're critical about our work, and learn from it! :)



Caricature Practice

This is a one hour caricature attempt. One of my talented friends was kind enough to offer his mug for some fun :)
