Trying to get some more practice rendering and refining.  Being somewhat short on available time is not helping progress with this.  I was working in one to two  hour bursts so being looking at this dude for about 2 weeks.

Was ill early last week and in my fevered state did some doodles.

As promised after the last study I went ahead and tried to apply some of what I learned.  Changed up the lighting big time.  Anyway pushed everything as far as I could.  Sketched it out in grey scale then dropped in the colour.  You can see it drifted somewhat from the early sketch.

Time flies. Last installment was back in November, last year. 

Skull Still Life Study

Skull Still Life Study

A study from life.  About 2 hours.  The skull is not an anatomically correct model.  It was a cheap prop I picked up at Halloween but good enough for the major forms.  Light was courtesy of my monitor.

After Cesare Auguste Detti-To the joust

After Cesare Auguste Detti- To the joust

This is a detail of the larger image To the joust  by Cesare Auguste Detti. I wanted to do this to force myself to work on the details.  Done a lot of smaller shorter works so a good change of pace. Now I am committed to doing a piece to apply some of what I picked up by doing this. Most of the action is captured on Livestream.
