Temples study
Another weekend study
Lesson's learnt: be patient. I'm not, yet.
PS. Might be getting a new Intuos soon!

Further down the river
Still on it!
I don't think I'm ready for a detailed painting yet so again studying to get the values right. Time taken: around 3h

Hall of Darkness - value study
Turned out slightly overblown, but I'm practising again.
Probably took some 3-4 hours to complete.
My biggest challenge now is being patient enough to spend more than one afternoon to produce the next one. Sure will be worth it!
Recently I have been considering to upgrade my Trust tablet and came across a couple of cheapo alternatives of Cintiq displays, this one being one of them:

I wonder how much quality does one need to sacrifice at the third of the price but judging on the reviews, not so much. Well, who knows...
Till next time.

Digital drawing update
Been practising a lot recently. Most of these took no more than 3-4 hours (which is still very little for a rookie). My plan now is to focus a bit more and try to produce something more detailed to see whether i have moved anywhere within the last year. Fingers crossed!
More to come!

Environment Sketchup and thoughts about patience
I've done this referencing a picture I took in Barcelona some time ago.
I'm still nowhere where I want to be but I havent been this motivated to do something in a while. Big thanks for Feng Zhu for being out there and the amazing work he does for whoever wants to improve whether it's for themselves as a hobby or getting their foot through the industry door.
I'm not in a position to give advices yet, but if I were to give one based on my own example, it would be to be patient. I think it's especially important in the era where everything is 'served' at your doorstep which is your PC in that case. On-line easy access tutorials, not strictly legal ebooks, free of charge video lessons and the likes makes one undervalue the actual skill, time and effort put into production of these.
I find myself wondering a lot whether it all makes sense, especially seeing the pros put together their complete pieces in less than an hour when I sometimes have to struggle to get the idea across in the first 30 minutes. It's really easy to give up.
But who would want to give up?
On top of enjoying doodling in Photoshop, I feel I sort of 'owe' it to drawing as this was the background that I came from and if it wasn't for the early doodles, redrawing Dragon Ball characters and sketching up the evil guys for my Fallout RPG, I would probably be holding a 3rd pass financial degree working away in Starbucks. But here I am.
So thanks to whatever and whoever helped and in short - well, watch this space as I will move forward.
Thought of the day - stay patient.
Geez I'm a terrible motivational speaker
