Description
I've been poking at this one for awhile! Started out as an expression and shading study, as well as a slight redesign of Iggy, turned into a little GT piece! Go figure!Ozzy rides around on Iggy's shoulder quite often when the two become more comfortable with each other. Iggy takes Ozzy along on afternoon walks and listens to them talk about their current agricultural experiments. Iggy doesn't understand much about it but learns a lot during these chat sessions.

I like how the face is shaded here, I'm still trying to figure that out myself. It seems hard to make the shading look natural. Shading in general, actually...

Shading is tricky, it takes a considerable amount of practice and studying of real references, because it's a bit different in each situation.
The way I help my students learn is we start with the geometric solids, and view the face as groups of geometry, each figure with it's own shading, that comes together into a greater whole. It also never hurts to practice at an extreme level and dial it back as well- try some really refined Rembrandt shading or chiaroscuro and then pull it back. Look at photos, sample colors, practice, practice, practice! And references: never go into a drawing without refs, master artists know how to draw and modify what they see, and nothing informs your eyes better than pictorial references.

Oh thank you so much for that! I love your advice so much! Your students have a great teacher. I'm definitely going to try those things.
