the january tiny studies

my tiny color studies this month. it's so few of them! my goal to is to create 4 per day since it's just a tiny thumbnail color studies.

i did have a hard time doing this. the 1st to 4th drawings i did in an hour or more. so long for just a color tiny studies (my mistake is i did do them in a larger canvass). i still do get easily distracted by the details in the ref.

the 5th one i did in 30 mins..it's really a small canvass..yeah i should have standard thumbnail size so they are uniform! and so i can work faster and just focus on the shape and color.
ahha anyway..hopefully next month i can do more!

reflection

it's been a while since i draw a face again.  when i did this one i just did try draw what i feel at the reference.

i never intend to make the girl pretty i just focus on the values and shape. i'm almost done w/in 30 mins but

after i saw the image i feel unsatisfied and correct all the mistakes that i made. i did try to make the girl pretty.

it took a lot of time fixing her but i didn't succeed. in my frustration i did redo the drawing but i end up being more disappointed in my work so i decided to return to my original drawing and fix her again. i somehow manage to make her face symmetrical and beautiful but i notice i did lose all the emotion. then i ask myself why do i keep making her look so perfect? why do i focus on those little details that i think that will make her perfect?

so then i decided to stop thinking that way and look at picture as whole, details still distract me but eventually     i manage to make her look pleasant w/o losing the original expression.

it's not the best Digi paint that I've done but i did learn alot from it and reflect on myself as i did this one.
