The atelier was too expensive (imo). I went today and he was charging almost $400 for 4 days of classes. When I met him I got the sense I wouldn't get much coaching during those drawing sessions. So I'm opting to keep teaching myself until something better comes along. Today's Update: Some figure studies. Nothing out of…
@Mike Yevin: Yes I'd say a good 70% are from reference. I'm still very new to drawing so I really have to have reference. But thanks for the comments! I really appreciate it. @fearian and @AimBiZ: Thanks so much! Today's update.... Quick sketches, anatomically pretty poor. I was in a hurry to get these done before driving…

@aesir: thanks a lot for the critique. I took a second shot at the squirrel with your criticisms in mind. Tho bear in mind the concept / proportions are fixed (its not actually my design, but they are my drawings). So hopefully I've addressed what I could in today's update! @wake: I've actually experimented with this in a…
@Mike Yevin: Thanks for the kind words! I checked out your portfolio site, and I like the concept of Eddie. The proportions you gone with are great. Would love to see more like him! @GoodAsNew: Thanks for tip about nose bridges lol. It really did add character that was missing to my faces. And thanks again for the tip…
@bounchfx: I want to! I currently use a color overlay method of "painting" right now, and I find that limits me. I'd love to do more colored work in traditional oil painting. @eCzety: Thank you kindly! @Tom Ellis: Thank you so much. I really appreciate it buddy! @GoSsS: Stick around, it really only has the minimal amount…
