Here's my 12/25 Portrait study, I tried to economize my brushstrokes but I failed, I gotta keep trying though! :smiley:

14/25 this one was especially hard, frontal portraits are the worse for me, specially men, specially old men with facial hair and wrinkles :smiley:

Thanks, Yes!, I still have to finish a curse or list of topics that I started doing back in 2016 (I still have left the portrait studies in values, then 25 value studies with whole body and then 50 composition studies from the masters)
However I already planed the next studies after this and all of them or most of them are in color, I already have my Gurney book ready and all :smiley:

And most importantly Im applying this stuff in my "real" portfolio so hopefully I start getting better freelance jobs at mid 2017.

And yes I google this paintings, most of them are after Sargent because he's my favorite portrait artist, however the last one is after a recommendation that I saw on instagram.

Happy new year everyone!, I've been struggling to draw stuff I like lately even with my studies I guess It was all that food on the holidays who knows :smiley:
Here's something I drew after failing miserably at drawing some full bodies.

I guess the only way to get out of this slump is to draw and draw and draw.
