oil and conte studies

The oil pieces where done with an oil bar. Its pretty much oil in a stick that you dilute. They both took about an hour. they are 30" x 20"

This one was done as my final. We had to prove ourselves by turning in 5-7 of our best drawings of that day. This was a 45 pose. And I think it came out pretty good.

I don't know your other works, but those above are really good. Very good use of material and a strong mood.

Thanks Big_O. I've just been posting crapy stuff on here before. I was trying to learn how to paint with painter. so I had a lot of mistakes:)

Mistakes are great. Make as many as possible! As long as you recognize them as mistakes you can learn a great deal from them. Anyway keep on the good work! It's worth all the trouble and anger:-)
