Doing a daily livestream with my pal Jonas at 9AM PST My Stream Jonas Stream This is a way to help keep each other motivated to get to our morning studies. I hope others will join us to improve ourselves and achieve our goals.

Sketches, studies etc

A few random things, pretty busy with studying and client work, trying to learn to work smarter and more efficiently.

Be Deliberate, find solutions to problems - don't bullshit your way through them. If you cant draw or paint something, you just don't have the knowledge. solve that.

It's too easy to over complicate things, but the process of learning is systematic.

Some different stuff, purposefully going way out of my comfort zone with the first two.

Morning figure study stuff

Horror IP challenge, far from finished

Composition/Line practice sketches

 Figure..it's time to have a proper place for myself. I've cleared out this blog a few times, due to just not being happy with my skill level, or anything I was creating for that matter. I feel like my fundamentals are beginning to solidify, a base to build upon forming.

First of all, all my progress since I began studying and decided on this journey in May 2012 can be found on the Crimson Daggers study group here -  http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-911.html It is 21 pages of pain and suffering. But god is it ever worth it. Watching yourself improve at something you love feels incredibly rewarding. With hard work, I truly believe you can accomplish your goals - It's just dependent on how much your willing to sacrifice.

I've got a lot of stuff to post in the coming weeks, a personal project among other things. I've also begun freelancing.

In the mean time a few of my daily still life studies and some sketches.
