Decided to change composition a little by bringing in the edges together. Also is "finished" since the collage is due soon. Left it a bit more impressionistic similar to Kan Liu's style:

Here are some super scuff faces. I've been having a hard time to use the full opacity of the brush. This is mainly due to me not having confidence of my strokes:

Doing some freehand sketches and see what I come up with. Didn't expect myself to remember some of the anatomy of the upper torso. Got inspired from Ahmed Aldoori's and the way he approaches sketching and drawing in general:

waoh! I love the thin organic and fluid lines esp. on the right, it makes the character look more alive. I also admire Ahmed Aldoori's approach in his character art. This piece and other art pieces of yours gave an artistically unique and engaging impression. I love it!

I haven't posted here for a week due to getting my wisdom teeth out as well as pondering about what am I trying to achieve with trying to learn how to draw and paint.

I ended up being able to post for the majority of February but at the cost of not knowing what my target is. I'll probably figure it out by starting to post less here and to explore my interests in other subjects like history, science, etc. I also want to follow the advice of Feng by drawing for myself and enjoy the process. I'll get back to posting like once a week.

Really like these value drawings. Nice work!
