IMPORTANT NEWS!

Hey guys! Been quite some time since I updated here!
Sorry, I decided to draw only with pencil and paper so that I could focus just on the drawing process itself rather than being distracted by the tools, such as thinking about what kind of brush at what opacity etc
I will resume drawing digitally very soon, most likely by tomorrow I should be able to transfer into Photoshop what I learned drawing with the pencil!
After having spent these couple of weeks drawing on paper, I can honestly tell you guys that even if you are already decent at drawing digitally, you should keep drawing on paper whenever you can.
It's just so wonderfully immediate that you can get on it right away and focus solely on your studies!
I'm really looking forward to showing you all the progress I made, meanwhile here is a quick 10 min sketch drawn on my android tablet, as always no references used.
There's still a lot to learn and this face feels weird (probably the ear isn't far enough or the cranium has a weird shape), but I'm very happy with the direction my style is taking.
I will also try to submit some of the stuff I drew on paper during these days!
And here is the final, IMPORTANT UPDATE: i set myself the goal of drawing realism, photorealism ... out of my mind.
It' a very ambitious goal and i'm working as hard as i can to get there, but as i kept studying and looking for something new, since this anime/manga style was feeling more and more like a limitation, i stumbled on Alex Ross' works.
If you know this artist, well ... you know what i'm talking about.
His work was just so inspiring that he looked to me as the exact embodiment of that something i was looking for.
Judging by the current progress, i should be able to feel comfortable with my drawing skills in a month or so, and then i'll finally begin drawing Mark of Darkness!
