I painted the Taiper for a second time. I split up my canvas and did the Taiper 4 times.
Overview
I painted the Taiper for a second time. This time I split my canvas into 4 sections and painted it 4 different times. I wanted to make it smaller and force myself to focus on the bigger shapes and try not to get caught up in the details. That didn’t work too well, I still was focusing on the details a bit more than I wanted. But I’m happy how the painting turned out.

Drawing
How can I improve the drawing
Same story as always here. Take more time focus more.
Drawing details
Value
How can I improve the values?
After learning from the last painting and using this site and Photoshop to inspect my values, I have improved them tremendously.
Edges
Not much focus on edges again.
Composition
I kept the composition simple and didn’t focus on it at all. The only thing I wanted to do was keep the entire figure in the painting.
Color
Not much of a focus on color here. I just recognized which areas were warm and which were cool and tried to keep them somewhat true.
