Figure Painting 2

Another study n' such. I decided that I'm not going to try and have everything 100% accurate, because I suck way too hard to even come close to that. Instead I'm just going to try and make mental notes of how the body reacts in certain positions as I draw. So I'm not so worried about making a 1:1 match, as long as things look more or less correct and not all wrong and shitty.

Speaking of wrong and shitty, those arms. D: I'm pretty sure I'll never get the hang of foreshortening.

Colouring is kinda quick this time around as well, I wasn't too interested in making it look good and mostly just wanted to focus on the lighting, specifically how it relates to the anatomy. So I know the black parts actually look more like a light greyish brown and that's kinda ugly, but I didn't feel like caring about that right now. These are painful enough without trying to get a deep black colour in and not lose any details, heh.

So yeah, this one is kinda mediocre, but keep in mind these are pretty much just glorified practice doodles, so don't expect 'em to look too good.
