Tried not to overwork these like last time.

Untimed studies
Nice forms, very neat! Mine are usually very messy trying to catch up with time haha
Wow! These are mind blowing! Specially the left one! You have successfully captured the effect of polished smooth skin reflecting light.
Cool! I see you are rotating the skull from imagination, very helpful study.

Today's comp study kind of came out looking like Ron Perlman explorer and gold prospector.

I prioritized using bigger brushstrokes the less time I had, and used even bigger brushstrokes for the parts that matter less like the shadows and background which gave me more time to work on the light area.
This basically created a transition from realistic to painterly the less time I had and the more I simplified the planes into bigger planes.
I also had a value palette to quickly lay my values before blending.
All are so cool. Even the 5 minute one has a certain charm to it. Your project is inspiring me to do this digitally

I really wanted to experiment with the shape of the cast shadow and see how it follows the contour of the form on which it is cast. I used no reference as both forms seemed to be simple enough. So, I don’t know if the length and warping of the shadows conform to real life. This is just my best guess.
In the 25 min study, I use a more direct light. Thus the shadow is smaller. I made the occlusion shadow tighter, too. I placed the reflected light more at the point of contact with the warped form and reduced it around the sides where the warped base goes away from it. But I really got confused while placing the highlight. As the viewing angle of the untimed ones and the 25 min one remains same, shall I place the highlight at around the same place or shall it be placed more on the top side?
I tried to do a 3 min study and failed to complete things and ended up doing a 5 min one. So, 5 min is the fastest I can go for now. While doing this quick study, I felt it was easier to hatch the lines in the same direction whereas in the earlier studies I was rotating the strokes along the form of the sphere. My question about quick studies is that how doing a quick study where my hatch-lines are wrong, values not upto par, etc. benefitting me? I was prioritising stuff already in the 10 min one which was quite rushed for my comfort level. So, should these fast studies be approached according to comfort level and slowly I’ll get fast or should I force myself to do quicker studies, however wrong they may look now and slowly I will get more comfortable with the quicker ones.
