Instagram, Color tests and phone sketches!?

Hey folks. sorry its been a while. Only planning on doing 2/3 posts a week (maybe extra if something awesome happens!!) But i need time for art, and if im here talking to you guys there is no art being made!
Anywhos, I have slowly been catching up on my sketch dailies hand drawn images. Im about half way through the list with more being added every day! ARRGH
Ill then do a bulk scanning session and outline them on Illustrator. If you've been checking out my Instagram http://instagram.com/# you can see exactly what they are ive been drawing. Benn posting images up several times a day on Instagram, Facebook https://www.facebook.com/JMenjaHArt
and deviantart http://valkrya.deviantart.com/ so if you want to stay up to the second with me go follow me or like my page :)

As you can see on there my gorilla charcoal sketch is coming on nicely too. check out the detail shot on the eye :D Im so pleased but the rest needs serious work:/

Gorilla Charcoal Sketch detail. A3 paper. loads to do work in progress :)

What do you guys do when you have a perfect image you want to create in your minds eye but it turns out not as planned?
I usually walk away and do some sketches of whatever it is i am drawing and rethink my technique before returning to it to amend things. How about you? drop me a comment :)

Found this pretty cool color eye test as posted by Tasty tuts (check out his tutorials) https://www.youtube.com/user/TastyTuts on twitter. Have a go yourself, i scored 11 which apparently is pretty good :)

Ive started working my way through CTRL+Paints Traditional Drawing series to brush up on my technique. Ths was lead on from me not being happy with some aspects of my gorilla image so i thought id tidy up my technique. I got to the brushes and erasers episode and i started the homework. which is drawing 20 phones. Check the vid for more detail. Ive got 5/20 done but i will do 20 before i continue the series. my first sheet is up on Instagram http://instagram.com/p/pmepJ9MeZ-/ I was totally tired haha so forgive me. i may redraw them tbh
