character concept, first draft

Still need to work a lot on this, but here's my character concept after the first working session.

class value study #2

Just over an hour's work.

and now the first painting in a while

Photoshop value study of a city environment - time: Just under 2 hours

First photo-shoot in a while

As I was looking online for some reference photos to use for drawing, I must have bumped myself back up on the model site I used, 'cause I got an email asking about doing a shoot. It turned out strictly 'all right', partially I feel like I'm rusty and out of practice, partially I was exhausted and sore from a week of P90X, and partially the model was relatively inexperienced. It's not that I hate what I got, but professionally, I feel like I could have done much better.
