doing landscape/environment studies this month, every weekend morning! spent a little over an hour on this one. it took me about a third of that time to just... get a handle on how to start the damn thing (and also talk myself out of trashing it). >xD;; ehhh, not TOO bad for a first go. gotta trust myself to get the hang of it.
spent the weekend doing expression studies, so here're a few of my favorites!

this morning's study! about halfway through this one, i kinda realized this was... less "landscape" and more subject-driven. spent about an hour on it. tomorrow i'll pull back and refocus on an actual... landscape. lD;;;

hand studies from this morning! spent about an hour sketching the actual hands, then roughly forty-five minutes on colors.
i'd mentioned wanting to remove the whole "whited out eye" aspect on the turtles when their masks are on AND with the triceratons in general, so here's some experimenting with the latter!
i did a bit of poking around and found the designers for the OG jurassic park movie modeled rexie's eyes off eagle eyes (same for the sick triceratops). funnily enough: eagle and owl eyes have a very similar color range to triceraton skin (pale yellows, rich oranges and browns, and sharp reds).
for traximus and zanramon i did some loose screen-shot redraws, so i was less distracted with posing and more focused on eyes/coloring. similar with nyxram, but her redraws are from the endure comic. also removed her tattoo since i haven't redesigned it just yet. might change her iris color a smidge, too, but we'll see.
i'm quite happy with this first go! there's a bit of learning to do with the iris/pupil ratio and overall eye-shape, but i'm having fun.
