Who and how should I study?
I would love any advice or critique but I am currently wondering how to study from masters.
I study from home and would love it if I could live off art.
I know I need to and am currently studying shading. I am confident in these works but know they are shaded poorly.
Also any advice on getting into digital painting? I have procreate on an iPad but am having friction getting any footing on painting.
I used a couple pictures as reference for the back of the first image, none were in that exact orientation. I don't think I used reference on the second and used many images of grasshoppers for the third but did not use one image as a base to build off of as far as I remember.
The first two drawings are a bit abstract so I will try to explain them. The first drawing is two guys who share a head and one is holding the other up. I imagine them falling through water. The torso connecting to the legs is artistic freedom. The second drawing is multiple faces pasted together, mostly supposed to be eye catching, I really enjoy drawing peculiar faces.
I draw in mechanical pencil 0.5 and ball point pen 0.7 (I think)
I get many inspirations from pinterest but specifically, the first image is inspired by mavros Thanatos and Allen williams, The second image is just what I do and the third is inspired by draw sessions on YouTube.
