One of them is HeadModelStudio. It provides a movable 3D model of a variety of head and facial feature references. You can adjust some of the models to avoid same face syndrome. You can save the reference as a still so you don’t accidentally move it while you’re using it. You can adjust focal length. AND you can adjust the position, intensity, and color of your lighting! HeadModelStudio is what I used to draw this little study

Oil pastel on paper

If you’re ever wanting to try out an expensive art supply and you can’t buy a whole set, get two colors that are on opposite ends of the value scale. I only used 2 main colors here. Other than the two Holbein pastels, I only added a white from another brand I already had.

I was going through some old art and realized I painted a lot of birds for a while. I’m not sure why. You can’t question inspiration.

Anyway, I’m proud of this painting in a weird way. I don’t exactly LIKE it. But I think I did a pretty good job based on my current skill level.

I tried to experiment with drawing the focus of the viewer with how much different parts of the painting are rendered. Idk, sometimes I look at this and am proud of myself. Other times I look at this and hate it. Whatever. It’s mileage. Keep drawing, fam

I’m not gonna lie. When I got to this color I was a little stuck. When I was choosing photo studies, I tried to match the color with the mood. But I felt like the value range of this color would make any human subject look like a zombie. So this is the only Huevember piece where I didn’t just do a figure or portrait themed photo study. I’m happy with the values and texture, but otherwise it feels boring.

After my last painting, I realized I should probably do some more work on hands 😅 I’d have liked to focus more or on constructive drawing of hands instead of painting, but it was Huevember lol.

This is a photo study 😅 I realized that doing photo studies of people might not be so terrible since I have so little experience drawing people. I’m mainly just hoping to gain a little muscle memory around the human figure, faces, and clothing while I learn about the basics of figure drawing too.

I tried simplifying and combining references with this. Eventually I got bored, as I usually do.
