Finally had some time today. So I drew a reference I liked, even though it is quite complex (I think).

Guys, it's almost 2026. Can you believe it? Let's finish the year strong. Please post work you want reviewed in by midnight tonight (US Eastern). If you want to help me, organize your work in one post in this thread. Thank you 🙏✍️🎨

(Dec 6 - 7) Some watercolor wins from the life drawing session. I'm trying to be a little bolder with color and use more green. Normally I use burnt umber and blue which I am very, very familiar with. This combo is Alizarin crimson and Viridian green. It's new to me so I don't quite know how to control and transition the greys yet into flesh tones. The greys it makes are very, very pretty to me. I will keep practicing this new combo. I also used mostly the big 1/2" flat brush like Nathan. It's very uncomfortable and a little scary, but it forces me to be better painter, a better 'mass artist', a better mark maker, which I desperately need.

I realized I almost never do a redraw. So decided to change that: draw over of the figure drawing sketch from my last crit.

Going through Chris' Advanced Figure Drawing course round two. Graphite on newsprint
