I got noticeably better at painting during the free life drawing exco class, but I realized that the improvement was exactly the amount that I would lose over a summer of not painting.
For not knowing what else to paint, I'm going over these quick sketches and painting them entirely.
I've started on the crap ones, where I have nothing to lose. This is the best 15 minute sketch I did, and I have the great fear that in finishing it, I will destroy whatever merits it now retains.
This model guy looked very much like Elim Garak's actor, and I wish so desperately that I could have captured his face in any way.
