21 Day Challenge: Day 10 and 11

Hopefully forgetting to post my daily challenge sketches on here will not continue...but lets not hold out hope. Trust that, once again, I did post on facebook. :P
My day 10 study is from a DeviantArt stock photo, and my day 11 study is from a frame of a capoeira video.

Day 10 

Day 11

21 Day Challenge: Day 9

Today's reference is from DeviantArt stock: http://ashtrayheartromina.deviantart.com/art/22-414393093
I do love to draw people, though I realized after doing so many landscapes in a row, my method for starting a portrait has changed slightly where I'm blocking more of my shapes in at the beginning rather than sketching shapes in. Interesting..

21 Day Challenge: ...Day 6, 7, and 8

I was a terrible person for the last three days and didn't realize I was only posing my 21 Day challenge paintings on facebook. (which I'm sure everyone believes..) It's true though :P

Anyway, I have two landscapes, both references from Unsplash and one human study. Since landscapes are generally my weaker area, I wanted to make sure I focused a solid week of the challenge on them. I may come back to them near the end...but it was definitely nice to take a break tonight.

Day 7 

Day 8

All three done in photoshop. 

Landscape references from Unsplash, human reference from random image search on google. 

21 day challenge: Day 2

It's always surprising how fast 1 hour flies by when working on these studies. I chose another photo from Unsplash as my reference for today's study and mistakenly thought that maybe due to the repetitive nature of the subject, I might be able to get the details in a bit faster. I found that it was definitely the opposite! 

Either way, this is what I could complete in the hour:

Noah Bradley's 21 Day Challenge: Day 1

I've decided to participate in Noah Bradley's 21 days to be a better artist challenge. It's been a while since I have done regular studies, so I figured now would be a perfect time to get back into the good habit! Here's his article describing the challenge if you're interested in what it's about or in participating! The basic idea is to complete a life study/master study in 1 hour.

For my first day, I chose one of the images from Unsplash!

There were a lot of details I didn't quite get to in 1hr. Hopefully doing these for the next 3 weeks will help with my speed.
