Considering this is the only work I have to do at the minute, I think getting into the habit of going out of my way to do extra work will only help me progress as an artist. That being said i do have a long way to go. I'm not too pleased with the drawings i had done, as i know my base level of ability and i don't think i hit them with these drawings. Practice makes perfect, and I've not been practicing life drawing recently and it was so evident with the first sketch. It was so bad i'm not going to post it here.
