    Sweet updates, ma'am!
    study is looking good and pretty solid. Would love to see a bit more details, but other than that - I like
    For the feather lady - great work on it. Just a little thing - add some highllght to her eyes. this will make the eyes a bit more believable.
    Keep going and going

      Muscle man looks real good stace! Just take it easy with your wrist, there is more than one way to learn about art, like reading books, studying artists, or simply observing things in life. All is not lost yet!

        JoseVega - Came up with a workout schedule, I'll run it by you and see what you think. Right now I just do my physical therapy exercises with a theraband and walks, but gotta amp it up.

        mjasnowski - Thank you Mike, that means a lot to me.

        maozao - Thanks, will do!

        malo - Thank you Malo! I'll have to sit and try to finish another study and use that patience gained to paint another illustration.

        Fetsch - Thank you.

        TwoDD - Very true, I'll start doing that. Thanks Lindsey!



        Been in a dark place still, hard to believe how much the days blur together, ugh. Just a quick study tonight while watching streams. Could be better but too tired to care right now. -_-

            Awesome sketchbook! I also like the watercolor commission. I just want to ask, what kind of paper you use? I wanted to learn watercolor and I use a normal bond paper that is for printing. I end up damaging the paper.

              Arkoon - Thanks! I use Strathmore's Mixed Media Visual Journal for my sketchbook, and Arches watercolor cold press block for the more developed paintings. And lots of practice!



              Been exercising! Been feeling good, yeah! Hard to believe the workshop is so soon though, wah.

              Here's a quick sketch I did tonight while participating in some streams!

                Going back to the design of his neck feathers. Here's number 1:

                  I went to the beach today and ended up being super exhausted because I'm converting back into a night owl, blegh. Felt really uninspired to draw anything so just did my best to let loose with some troll designs.



                  I'll look through some sketchbooks tomorrow, I've been bad about sharing the community love lately, gah.

                    Hey stace! Love the recent paintings, especially the little lily trolls. Everything about the design, the rendering, colors, and so on works so well for me. Also, great studies on your character Caim, you are doing a great job with the feathers.

                      TwoDD - Thank you, Lindsey! I'm quickly realizing how much I don't like feathers, haha.


                      My physical therapist worked me out extra hard today, ah! Feels good to know I'm making progress but it's difficult not to get frustrated at how much I still need to go. Especially with Workshop SF being next week... OEI!

                      Tonight is just a work in progress photo of the white lily troll. Going to take a break tonight to let my poor hand rest, it's really acting up tonight. Gah.
