It seems I revisited my love for old Sci-Fi book covers. I'm still trying to find new ways or methods to develop my drawing from a sketch phase to something a bit better. Although I haven't polished this one, I really like it because it turned out better than what I was expecting. This one goes for my friend Ben Ho who is always encouraging everyone he knows.

I've been trying some new ways of thinking about painting. The mountains are very sketchy but I think it's better than what I used to do. I've tried to approach it the same way I do when I'm copying photos. The soldier is one of the first tries in a method that looks more like colouring. I left the lines just to remind me that I need to have more definition in my paintings. Can't have them looking like this.

More exercises. I have to start trying some environments from my imagination just to see if these are helping.

I'm glad I started these exercises with waves. After those, doing these mountains looks much simpler. Anyway, same thing here, 20 minutes each from photos. I think I'm finally starting to have an idea of how to approach the painting. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Some more unintentional abstract art :S (Another rock is here. Harder to find than Wally). 20 minutes to copy them from photos. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

A few more. They still look so abstract, but again, in 20 minutes it's the best I can do. Anyway, again it was all copied from photos of waves. (But there's a rock ok?!) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

These I copied from photos. Took me about 20 minutes each. Have to do more. Althought some of them look almost like abstract painting, they are not :) They are all supposed to be waves (except for the rock. Yes there is a rock in one of them!).

I don't know what this is. I think it is some kind of a queer dog. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Working a bit more on anatomy. These are made from my imagination after copying anatomy for one hour from Bridgman's Anatomy book. More studies to be done for sure. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
