LP Study WK 7 P 1

Lay in and tones all knocked in.  Now I just render a little and I'm done.
I've spent 2.5 hrs on this.  Most of that time was spent on lay in and forms
That little value dot on the bottom is the value I'm using and relying on pressure
sensitivity so it feels more like a pencil.

  1. Hey Brian, do you think you'll finish this early? What do you think about knowing when to call it quits?

  2. Hmmmm.. That's a hard question. I think for most artists you know when you're finished. It all depends on what level of finish you're going for and what your intent is. Look at Sargeant paintings. Those paintings are finished and they feel finished. They're not super rendered. Then look at someone like Bougerou lol I'm sure his name is not spelled that way. He's probably one of the best flesh painters who ever lived. His stuff is super tightly rendered. Both artist produce art that's finished.

    I guess the simple answer would be to find what your intent is. I recommend trying both ways while doing studies. The more tighter drawings will help you give structure to your looser drawings and looser drawing will give life to your tighter drawings. One good example is animation drawings. Have you seen rough animation drawings before they get cleaned up? Something definitely gets lost when the drawings get tighter. They loose some of the life/ not all they had when they were in the sketch stage.

    Hope this answers your question.
