Value study tonight.


it's cool but why are you putting color in your value study? even a little bit kind of defeats the point

I understand it alienates some (I've gotten similar comments), but loving whatever.
Don't do this thing, please. It makes so many artists seem prickly and insecure and undermines your justifications. The underpainting thing makes sense and I often do something similar to that, I just wanted to see why you did it.

Do what thing? I'm not trying to blow off criticism, but if the justification for the critique is, "it's alienating," then I don't know what to say.
Oh, I misread your post. My bad...

my bad...



e: drat I'm posting a lot and not posting drawings. Here's a quick alla prima study I did under weird lighting that made my subject look like he was made of baloney.

Here is another random portrait from a friend who is enchanted with her new hat. I seem to still be obsessed with the feel of ballpoint. It feels so much closer to pencil than most ink mediums. I can sketch lightly with ballpoint but not with other pens it seems.
Yeah, ballpoint's great. I use it instead of #2 pencil for sketching nowadays. I love the smooth feel of it.
