This was extremely difficult for me for some reason and took way too long. I got really frustrated...and I think some of my pics. show that...haha...they're really horrible. I think I need to practice a little more with this and watercolors.
I actually really like these. Watercolors without lines are hard to get used to, speaking from experience. Your use of texture and skill with some of the smaller details on the face are particularly nice. Maybe it would be easier to practice more in ink/b&w like you did in the second set.
yeah watercolor was pretty challenging to use.. I think use less water and better paper? I used the same medium so i know what you mean by frustration haha.
Watercolors are tough! Practice definitely helps. But I don't think these are horrible--on the contrary, the boy's face and the horse are pretty darn nice!
The technical stuff: Each week you are required to post your weekly sketchbook here--they should be uploaded before class each week. (remember, when you're scanning and posting to the blog, sketches should probably be 72 dpi and in Grayscale or RGB. Finals for printing should be scanned at 300 dpi.)
I encourage you to comment on each other's work and post any other projects or doodles you'd like to share or would like input on--this can include progress on class assignments, experiments, or links of interest you think the class would enjoy. This blog is to encourage you to help each other out, get ideas flowing, and see what everyone is up to! Have fun with it!
I'll be posting something myself each week, so stay tuned!

Now I want to try mine in watercolors too. Hmm.

P.S. Would like to see composition/boundary boxes next time!
Oh poop, I forgot about my boxes.
Thanks guys!
I think the portrait of the boy is my favorite. Thats the best one to me.
