Since starting art school in Melbourne, I've tried doing 15-30 minute studies everyday. These have been really enjoyable, sometimes they went a bit overtime, but my goal to improve and get faster kept me focused, that and the help of a timer. I hope to keep doing these and improving. If people have suggestions for what helped them to learn how to paint or understand colour and value, please share. :)
All of the visual concepts here are not my own. Some big inspirations are:
Dreamworks, Disney, Michael Malm, Ian Maque, Floriane Marchix
