Drawing from my head
It's hard to do, but I am going back and studying anatomy-esp hands and feet. Pretty much everything, but I'm also trying to get in the habit of visualizing things in my imagination first and then drawing. I feel that I lean too much on photo ref. And it makes my images stiff and just doesn't teach me anything...

Hey, just stumbled across ya. Nice house down there. I like it... And about proportions, look at Gauguin's work (not for a good example). It's always difficult. The hardest thing is learning to keep the image in your head while you work on it. Once you learn to lock it there.
Keep it up!
Thanks "read this" I like Gaugin's work, even if personally he was a bit of a bugger. (leaving wife and kids to live a fantasy on a exotic land) Even so,very expressive paintings.
Thanks for the comment!
about Gauguin: Expressive, I agree, but had a problem with proportions (very evident in some of his Tahitian maiden work) yet he's one of the most respected artists of the time, which is why I mentioned him. Just an example of how difficult it is, particularly arms and hands.
Anyway, I look forward to seeing more of your stuff. :)
