Thanks Marcus
I wished I had started earlier, I haven't even reached the 200th day of my training (drawing/painting practice) in my whole life yet, I didn't start as a child like most. It is all so new to me. I realise the shoulders aren't good but when the bell goes its a shame you have to stop, but you have this need to want to fix it, somehow. I hope they fix the lighting as I can't gain confidence in reading the tones if I can't see them. I realise when you do become confident that alot of times, you just don't have the ideal lighting and have to rely on your initial training to get you out of situations like you said.
I am in the process of learning light, perspective, mass, planes and the rest before I get too involved in figures/portraits. I am starting to realise just how precious time is and am trying to use it wisely.
I also had trouble with the conte as the squareness didn't allow me to go lighter in the same stroke or maybe I just haven't learnt how yet which makes it as dark and light even though I tried to use halftones.
I had a look at your painting, what a powerful image for the story. They say a lot can be read in a face but also a lot can be read in an image too. Well done and thanks for the support. You are so lucky to have an apprenticeship.
