looking for ways to better my speed, understanding of posing, anatomy, lighting and over all technique in my paintings. I did these in 6 different 1 hr sessions, my end goal (if possible) would be to do them just as detailed in 15 minutes, or be confident enough to not use as many brush strokes and brave enough to start them in color. I definitely learned a lot doing these and am always looking for advice to make me faster and more efficient.

thank you for viewing! : )

Some quick photo studies I did 30 mins each blargh!

[PTimm]

tryin to keep my speed paint sketching up, for some reason my self portrait was harder than the MMA ones

[PTimm]

i decided to use a new technique for this one learned from Ryan Portillo, very different but i think effective despite my accuracy

[PTimm]

i tried to study something this time in color, came out ok, definitely trying new techniques out

[PTimm]

i threw away my old methods on this one, and went outside of my comfort zone and instead drew the shapes i saw and tried to not think of it as a face

[PTimm]

was doing a study of my buddy, and got carried away and decided to make him venom...maybe good practice?

a good friend of mine and an amazing guitar player, i challenged myself again by just looking at the shapes and not what the pic was, good learning experience....btw anyone know how to put up images on here instead of thumbnails?

[PTimm]

another study of a good friend of mine and awesome guitar player, i think expressions are one of my Achilles' heels

[PTimm]

i tried to redeem myself with another one, but i think some people are really really hard to get a likeness of

unhappy with my failure of the first richard drawing, i decided to really study what made it fail and even be brave enough to use color. Any crits that can help me vastly improve my speed and accuracy are greatly welcomed!

Try spending more time on the drawing, trying to get it really accurate before adding value / colour. Since if your drawing is right everything should fall into place.

[PTimm]

thanks for the feedback, ur absolutely right, i gotta nail those under drawings, my accuracy and form aren't up to par yet thank you mate!

I did this at work today for a display, testing my observation skills, tough copying a cellphone pic to a big drawing, i learned a lot though, hope to do these faster and more accurate with tons of practice.

a collection of sketches ive done over the past week, gotta try to find time to do much more of these, wish i had time to actually draw people from life, the largest one with the armor i just made up.
