Haven't posted a while due to work (another bca poster) and finishing up my entry for the Godzilla competition.

Top: My initial idea was to have three soldiers running towards the camera, but I got lazy. I still like it though, even if it isn't as detailed.

Still wip, should finish it tomorrow.

 I think I'm going to go with Cheryl's suggestion of taking away the windows and pulling focus onto the main subject. Man this is taking so much longer than expected. I don't get how pros can get it done within an hour.

 More 47 Ronin studies. Middle one is a wip for the Godzilla contest I'm participating in.

 Forgot how to do it in just one day. Gonna do it again tomorrow.

 47 Ronin ref practice

Application of what I learnt. Can't beat the study :/

This spiral stairs seemed pretty straight forward at first... Couldn't have been more wrong. Gonna do this again.

 Practice from 47 Ronin. This movie has some great visuals, gonna be doing a lot of practice off them.

Used to have so much trouble with these. Getting the hang of it, but some things still bother me. Some parts don't add up.

Thanks to the book 'How to Draw' by Scott Robertson for the techniques! It's super helpful, even though it takes up so much brain juice for my head to wrap around the concepts.

And more snow. I wonder why water looks so dark in these environments. According to the colour and light book by James Gurney, it isn't actually darker, it's the contrast between the water and snow that make it seem darker. Looks darker to me though. Gotta do more studies.

Snow, snow and more snow! I love painting snow, gotta do a ton more before I get the hang of it. References from dailyventure site.

So it's a little less than two months before school at fzd starts, and I think it's a good idea to chronicle my daily practices up till that time.

Three main areas of self improvement:

- Perspective fundamentals
- Environment painting
- Straight lines and eclipses (sketchbook + pen)
