Not feeling very inspired so brushing up on self portraits.

Needs a bit more work, happy I got it working with Autodesk sketch. Krita unfortunately won't work with my Lenovo but sketch is pretty nice.

Very nice!

How have you done that?

Thank you ☺️

Mirror on the windowsill, chair, awkwardly holding on to laptop. Boxes to stack mirror on optional ;)

If you have a tablet that takes pen input give it a go :)

I tend to use low opacity brushes to block areas and then start working in details. Art classes I had teach that as best approach.

And no problems with dirty colours on ePaint, with real paint you have to plan your palette carefully. We've all done the "aw shit I didn't want dirty grey / brown" in paint class.

The Loomis drawing books are excellent btw for teaching general art / anatomy.

Couple of feet this weekend. Might even try a whole body this week

Annoying thing about the books is they’re all generally a4

I’d prefer an a3 version

These feet look so real I'd swear I can smell them. 😉

your style is great.

really nice @Light_EDDed
that portrait is ace too @JWestland. I find drawing on a tablet v difficult but that might be beacuse its a v old i pad with a clunky pen

did a quick sketchup of my camera

Some legs. I’ve not done any cocks yet so just the legs

I’ve probably made myself look a lot butcher and manlier than I really am

My daughter has been busy again on the PC

Brilliant. Setting up the pallet too. Great stuff

I found these little doodles she did which reminded me a bit of your faces on the wood

They are great. 👍👍

Well, obviously I don't know what she wants to do in life, but at her age these are very good.

We can't really tell unless you also post a photograph of yourself, can we? :)

Sorry for the shameless spam but I'm flogging some prints on my Etsy shoppe and just did a code for a fiver off.

To make up for it, here's a special code for £6 off :-) - LFGSS2020
