Speedy scottish landscape. Feeling a bit like not drawing heads 24/7. Hehe. Partly inspired by my big bro, who has recently delved into watercolour and is making fantastic progress. Check out his progress:

Another head for the thread.
Pretty happy with this sucker. Took about a half hour.
Another different approach to the whole thing. Im loving this different approaches thing. I can read a tutorial online etc, and then come do a head without having to think of a subject, look for reference or anything else, I can just focus on applying the new process suggestions I have read - it's all about process baby :D

Ok so I am falling stupidly far behind the numbers for this 50 heads in a month thingy!
So I took cues from some of the others on there and went to pencil to force myself to keep it a bit simpler... Mostly. Haha. Feels good using a pencil again - i didnt touch one for a while there once I first caught on to the digital buzz.
So I chopped through three tonight, need to do more than that to get back on track though...

Another study for the head thread, even though this isnt really head focussed. Was a new approach... again! Inspired by some glorius black and white images on Justin Sweets website i used a hard brush, only painting with black or white, and pressure sensitivity set to size. One brush size (8) and this is the size i worked at. Took a wee while but was quite fun again. I like trying out all these different styles. It must help somehow...

New head. Tried the Mullins scribble, but never bothered looking at his work before i did this! Silly move. I'll take a look at his stuff before my next one. Falling behind schedule badly too, but as longa s i keep at it i'll get a bunch done :)
This one was fun too. Didnt take too long despite all the scribbling :)

Ok here's another head ( a cropped in version of an uncompleted image).
Took a completely different approach today - worked in a way I've never worked before.
Partly from looking at zhu zhu's work and wip stills, partly from an inspiring conversation I had with my girlfriend today. I wanted to be more analytical and observe more closely while working. So I consciously painted with hard edged brush no pressure sensitivity. And i painted dabs. Blending with a couple texture brushes after.
I learned lots and even though it's not as good a likeness as I'd like i really enjoyed the process and am pleased with the result at this point.
Might continue with it tomorrow, or later in the week, though if i keep getting more and more detailed, I'll never get through 50 in a month :P
