I thought it would be a good idea to do some one hour master studies (First image is a photo. I would like to give credit, but I don’t know who took it.)
I think part of the reason why I have a hard time drawing from imagination is because I don’t do enough drawing from reference. I’ve always felt weird about copying other people’s art, even if I do give credit. Yet, it seems that’s what all the really good people did to get where they are.
Black and white is so much easier than color.
Turns out that all the purple here is actually a desaturated red.
This one was hard.
