Been a while… Studies, a sketch and a WIP

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.still-life2-september-7-2016

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.

self-portrait-2This 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.20160911_120347Value self portrait with lamp and graphite.  Had wet hair so it clumped more than usual.
