Thanks for the support guys!
@Gramaton I've studied for a couple of years. I picked up Proko's figure course a few months in as my figure drawing was so bad and labored back then, now its my most developed area.
Really looking to get into the painting and design side of things now, thats why Il be making the effort to do some of these painting sketches as well. Wouldn't recommend a beginner to start with rendering though.
