So, when I finished the color flats, I took a break from my current painting of the DC comics character Raven, and decided to see if I've improved at all. So I decided to draw a different perspective without any references. I'd say I have, and now I have a reference for how I'm likely going to shade Raven's face in the painting. As opposed to the 6 hours so far in that painting, this took me a total of 15 minutes. As it turns out, doing these paintings weekly is definitely helping me improve.
Another thing that took up some of my time was that I decided to use a water texture for the sky. It looked terrible when I just stretched the water over the sky painting in the background, so I started playing around with duplicating it and making different arrangements of the water. And then this happened. I'm calling it Hellfire, and I think, given the painting I'm working on, I've just discovered my first awesome art accident.
