I’ve got a lot more studies in my sketchbooks, but I can’t take a picture just yet the sun’s gone down but I hope this will suffice lots of stuff added here anyway I think.
I was told by a cool artist on DA [here] that I should focus on something simple with my studies and I choose to see how hue changes with a colored transparency, like canada Dry bottles and also reflection of color on a black shiny surface. It looks like crap but I learned that mixing the complementary colors of the red and green with transparency it seems just to darken the color behind it there was more red showing behind than I though, it just seemed to darken it. Half way through my cat decided to stick her butt in the way so added her it in frustration.
This is a self portrait I did under sunlight instead of a lamp and found that there’s very little value difference throughout the face than with other lighting but there was a bit of hue variation throughout the face. Didn’t have much time to do that one unfortunaty so weird lines and brush strokes.
Value self portrait with lamp and graphite. Had wet hair so it clumped more than usual.
Value self portrait study in direct sunlight and a mirror again and woodless graphite.
Studying Loomis’s book 
A sketch of a character from my comic that I liked.
A self portrait/reference piece I’m working on, with Star Wars. Reference [here]
I did this in 2 hours. I think I got the cell phone on the wrong perspective, something I definitely need to try again. I need to work on reflections in a black shiny surface. But it was a shot.
