I made a short, quick, and dirty explanation about how I approach lay-ins for a different forum. I'll post it here in case someone here will find it useful (or will be able to point to problems with this approach). Here are the pointers: - Use light, thin lines - A good lay-in already has the sense of 3d without any tone - Avoid continuous contours, always look for overlaps - Draw through the form - Think in 3d (study the skull, the Loomis method, whatever else helps) - Make sure the outline has the same feeling as the original (I failed at this step here) - Center lines are your friends - Always check and re-check alignments and basic proportions

Is it me or did November just vanish! Poof. I know it's holiday time for many of us. How did you do?Please post work you want reviewed in by midnight tonight (US Eastern). If you want to help me, organize your work in one post in this thread. Thank you 🙏✍️🎨

I am going to cancel my Adobe sub. I am in the process of cutting ALL of my unnecessary business expensive and I honestly don't really use Photoshop that much. Not $20/mo worth. Besides Photoshop, what photo/digital paint app do you use or recommend? I heard Affinity is free now. I like that price!😎 I purchased Procreate a while ago, but it does have photo editing limitations. What do you think?

Did a little sketch today

Based on the feedback I received from Chris, I tried using an airbrush for the first time. I repainted the same picture that I had received criticism on.
