MORE BLOCKING AND MORE

I worked on the sky for hours and hours. It still isn't done yet but I decided it was good enough for now. I'll do more on it later. I wanted to start blocking in the ROBOT again. If you work on stuff for long enough without showing much progress,you start asking yourself "Why am I working on this?" It sometimes is better to just get the piece looking good and making yourself think that you aren't really wasting your time on it.

I worked on the head a bit to see if I could make it look like the face I saw in my head.

These are IPHONE photos. They aren't the best, but I don't care about that. I'm just trying to get some kind of idea of what I am working on. 

The face is starting to come alive now. I want it to be very emotionless and machine like. I blocked in the major sections of the face with a mid grey color. Shadows were added here and there and also a highlight was added. Much more needs to be done here but it is a start. My wife seemed to like it.

I then started to repair the body and bring it to the front. The sky area that got brushed into the body a bit was easy to repair. Once I did that, I couldn't wait to work on it. It gave me a bit of spark back. My step son was painting with me in the studio. This is his painting. A second after I took this he changed it even more. I don't think i've been much of an influence on him. :)
