I paid for a sitting session to get my guy.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062266088887216663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-1577571436316169762009-01-26T20:09:00.000+10:002009-01-26T20:09:00.000+10:00Well for a start his muscles do not match and I ne...Well for a start his muscles do not match and I need to work more on my values ....I need more darks and more lights....he looks a bit fuzzy at the moment.....Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493518674133085652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-34182972148053512292009-01-26T18:29:00.000+10:002009-01-26T18:29:00.000+10:00Ok Anne, I agree with your observation, so, can yo...Ok Anne, I agree with your observation, so, can you see what else needs correcting??Reehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304330794822181767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-34632204284551933852009-01-26T12:50:00.000+10:002009-01-26T12:50:00.000+10:00Anne, this is a good attempt, and that you see wha...Anne, this is a good attempt, and that you see what is wrong with the painting is also a good thing.<BR/><BR/>He has nice tight little buns, I like that in a man..;-)) I like my men lean, though, so his muscular physic does nothing for me. :-D<BR/><BR/>Why don't you practice drawing your reference image in your sketch book. You do have a sketch book, right?. Draw it as a complete drawing, not as a sketch. I suggest this to my students, this way they become familiar with their subject before they paint it, and they can iron out, so to speak, all the problem areas, they might have. You do this, pre painting, for every painting you paint, and you will immediately notice an upgrade in your skills. I also write my colour swatches and other notes in my sketchbook next to my drawing for future reference. You will paint that subject again. so you have notes to go back and read.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16887267456749263715noreply@blogger.com
