Dont give up, give it time

This was one of my first conversions and it was painted around June 2012. I look at it now and cringe. You have to push yourself. to learn new techniques, to learn the color wheel, how to use brushes, blends, fades and do rely heavily on drybrushing.
ugly!!!!!!

Now whats happened since this photo? Countless hours of painting /repainting and internet scouring, watching painting videos, talking with tlented painters etc...
I practice painting about 20 hours a week. You cant get better if you do something so randomly and without focused effort and expect to get better. You too can get better. I expect another year from now, my paiting and modeling should be 100% better than these after pictures.
