Grieverjoe (Jose Alvarez) is NOT a whiny emo as his name would suggest. He's an IT student with a love for art.

Liam Cunningham

Decided to break out the pencil and sketchbook for this one.
Liam Cunningham, about 1.5 hours total. Reference used: http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMjEyMDM0NzQ5NV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNDkyODQyNw@@._V1_SX640_SY720_.jpg
Did you guys know he totally looks like Davos Seaworth? Huh...

Going back to my copy of Gurney's Color and Light. Need to step up my game.

I think I had an epiphany as far as hands construction goes, which is nice. I wrote some notes, but let me know if you can't read them.
Also, decided to look at painting skin a bit more in depth, so I used a bit of Niklas Jansson, and a bit of Lauren Cannon's skin tutorial. You can find part 1 here

This is technically a couple of days lumped together, but I didn't draw as much because I got sick.
Anyway, top is a couple head sketches, along with a bit of control drills for myself. The ones labelled 'hand' and 'shoulder' are what I used to draw, respectively.
On the bottom, a couple feet studies. Feet are inching along into the category of "body part I can't draw at all", up there with hands.

Ever Skyward - Pg3


Ever Skyward it is!
I'm gonna go back and adjust the formatting on the other two pages.
Still haven't settled on a style, so don't freak out if it looks different, or if I go back and alter pages.

UPDATE: Reversed middle panel so hopefully it reads better.

This one is actually a mash of last night and today. Little Hogarth, little Ron Lemen.
