Master Study 1-22-16

Hey all, ran into some hiccups today! It would seem my computer is unhealthy and needs some attention, so I had spent the day more or less doing maintenance. Luckily I found some time to complete a study of "Evening Mood" from William Bouguereau. Having discovered him when looking for master studies, I noticed that his figures are extremely well done, anatomy, values and even mood. I've got a lot I can learn from this guy if I wish to become a character-focused concept artist. Suffice to say, I'll keep studying this artist.

Surprised myself by completing the initial shapes in 15mins. Spent an hour refining, had a bit too much fun!

Since my computer was preoccupied today, I had a chance to get bac to some reading. I'm almost done with reading Color & Light by James Gurney, I look forward to trying out some atmospheric perspective in my next environment. Something I hardly accounted for (but knew) in my last environment attempt. Speaking of which, my next master study that I post, for tommorow, will be from one of James Gurney's work!
