more 60-120 sec gestures. 60 on top and 120 sec on bottom. Need more practice.

More 60 & 120 sec gestures--60 on top and 120 on bottom. Generally, I think I'm becoming more proficient and comfortable with curvaceous and expanded poses, where as more linear and contracted poses tend to give me more difficulty.

some 5-10 minute gestures. I think I'm getting to the point where I need to do more in-depth anatomy studies of various areas of the body.

Some gestures from the past 3 days. Oldest up top and newest on bottom. First ones are 60 sec and the remaining are 2 min.

First, some 5 minute gestures. Nothing critical here, just more practice. Used an airbrush exclusively and varied the flow between 3 and 10% depending.


Also started creating an abstract piece based on some shapes and colors I was envisioning last evening while falling asleep. Can't say I like it, but I'm posting for the sake of posting in an attempt to document my failures. Uncertain whether or not I'll take it any further. Regardless, I should make it a point to finish what I start on a more frequent basis.

Some 5 (top) and 10 (bottom) min gestures. Outside of requiring more practice, there is nothing I would consider worth noting, save the image in the bottom right. In addition to having more of a fine art aesthetic, this image came together much, much quicker; in fact, the last 2 minutes or so I wasn't even making much progress. I'm attributing this to the method I used to render; namely my brush settings. I used an airbrush (softness 100% & flow ~3%) to generate the rough block out of the form, and afterward generated a more clean silhouette using the same brush settings as the past few nights (softness 0% & flow 10%). From then on, I alternated between the two settings as I saw fit. Will most definitely experiment more with this technique in the near future. Also should be noted that the relatively simplicity of the pose may also be a factor. 


More 60 sec and 120 sec gestures. 60 sec on top and 120 sec on bottom. Moving on to 5 minute gestures
