LEARNING HAPPENEDby ~DanielAraya

Traditional Art / Drawings / Illustration / Storybook

Just trying to improve, slowly but surely. I've decided to do this exercise. I painted the face of an asian girl out of my imagination.

I knew I wanted her to have big lips and extremely prominent cheek bones, other than that I had nothin else in mind and went with whatever came to mind.

Next, I found photo reference and did a study of an Asian girl under similar lighting conditions. I used Grace Park because I'm a Battlestar Galactica nut.

Finally I did a third face, trying to apply what I learned from the study as much as possible. I think I learned a lot and I'm hoping the third face shows improvement from the first. I think this is a great exercise to directly apply what you learn from a study, and to help retain it by forcing yourself to see the flaws in your imaginative work and correct them.
I really recommend trying this out! I'll be doing a LOT more of these

The improvement you made between the first and second attempts I think are really clear. You can still see elements from the first in the second but they seem to be more more natural in comparison.

I think this is a great idea to help improve...might have to give it a go myself sometime

DUDE! those are major Jumps i think (obviously) the photo study is the most realistic but the second attempt has a voice to it keep on truckin'!

~DanielAraya Jun 13, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

yeah I definitely have a long ways to go

~Jadededge Jun 14, 2012 Student General Artist

even when we get to where we are going there is always further we can push it, keep it up though it's amazing to see progression
