Been looking for ways to improve myself. So I did some more artist study that is quite different to how I would shade. It was recommended by one of my tutors. I knew that I wasn't going anywhere with my drawings because I looked through my work from 4 years ago and I saw the same style I had before, but just more refined...When I was talking to my tutor that time, he said that it was a good thing that I notice my own weakness, because other people don't usually, once they get comfortable with what they have or if they've developed a routine or a style, they tend to stick to it, not knowing that they're stuck in a rut. He also said that I picked the best film to work on, because it suits my style, but it doesn't help me on the life drawing department because it's very graphic.
This just means I have to work harder eh?... Heh... I guess this really is my year of improvement. Need to crack on with some digital painting too. Haven't done that since Uni started...
But yeah, That's all for now.

This is really beautiful. And it's great that you're reviewing and moving forward by branching outside of your comfort zone. Once you stop exploring, self-discovery stops and so does the adventure of being an artist. ;)
Hey man! Good to read you want to advance further and not stay still. Good on you! Artist studies are good. Ask yourself... where do you want your art skills to be? Who is closest to that level? Compare your work to that, maybe study from them and see what you can add to yourself from other techniques. Always experiment, keep the process new and exciting. Got an idea of a different approach? Try it! Ever tried speedpainting and skip the line drawing? How about some more painterly digi stuff? Keep it up big boy! I'll be seeing you sooooooon!
thanks a lot ben! yeah, ill do my best to keep improving haha. I have tried speed painting with out lines before, but recently I've discovered silhouetting which is really useful! so i might do a lot of that. when are you down in bournemouth again?
