I've had an issue with getting the line drawing to disappear under the painting. I keep at light, dark, and halftone, however the pencil still shows through.

Hey Benjamin,
Cool study!
I think what would really help, at a core level, is having a strong separation between light and shadow, and simplifying your values in general. Everything in steps.
Right now the shadow on the arm is the darkest point in the picture, darker than even your occlusion areas and similar/darker than the hair.
Also some more subtlety in the midtones and especially in the highlights. Too much core shadow or bright highlights will produce a "silver surfer" or chrome body look.
With digital, you should be able to just remove the pencil layer once your values are roughed in. All those lines are just values edging against each other.
Keep it up!

In my experience, using a watercolor brush pack or similar that's higher in transparency results in a lot of laying that ends up looking muddy, or the layin showing through -- which, is part of the appeal of watercolor I figure. I personally like using opaque brushes. This is a nice painting! I love her facial expression.

Here's another hair study I did. This took longer than I intended. Hairs been a constant challenge whenever I'm trying to draw from imagination. I can hardly come up with anything. I've studied a number of JC Leindeckers paintings and still get lost. Critique would be much welcome.

Here are the skelly drawings. Had a hard time visualizing the muscle. Probably should study the attachment sites more.

Here's my first attempt before using these reference photo's. I tried using multiple brushes and get an understanding of how they work. She's got an aura looks about her I know. I tinted the background after completing the figure should have done it beforehand. Let me know of anything improve the painting.

I wouldn’t change anything about the figure. She looks fantastic. And I love the aura.
Maybe change the background value to pull her forward more.

I've purchased the digital painting course, and, in the tutorials, the man is using photoshop and I use coral painter 2022. I didn't think the difference would be too great, however, when I've trying to create my own brushes, even when watching a short tutorial on YouTube I still get lost when it comes to distorting my dab. Any idea's, tips?

I don't know if these long studies of this help much or not, but I've been doing these along with the anatomy course. Ultimately I would love to be able to drawing convincing figures from imagination. Let me know what else while help my anatomy studies.
