Need to do better! 

This year has been so far the year of the portrait...gotta work on other things!

My drawing objects from life sucks, but it could get better if I work on it.

Yar!

Fuck da police, and stuff!

Two things learned today, that I might add pictures to in the future (crunch time, just gunna jot these down for later):

Annotate Pro for References - Using Annotate Pro to learn the shapes of a reference by tracing, then burn that shape into your monitor while you draw
- Find a reference image, putting the image somewhere off to the side of your monitor (like the upper left)
- Trace that image using Annotate Pro
- Keep Annotate up, but switch to Photoshop. Now the ref will be burned into your screen for you to look at while you draw. This has a dual side effect of making you absorb the forms of your reference since you traced it.

Cut out Linework: This one was given to me based on Kirk's workflow, with my own addition of adding line work with a softer tool and then erasing. He actually uses that technique too, but with stroke:
- Use white to make silhouettes
- Use eraser to cut out details
- Paint on silhouette with clipping mask
- Use soft brush behind object to paint in lines
- Erase outermost edges to create cool looking line weight
