Thank you @titotips - maybe i could do a video in the future. I see that Steem now has a video upload system in the works to take on youtube so the future looks good. I have to remind myself just to take progress shots still! One thing i have realised thou is taking the progress shots helps give a second eye to the work, you'll find things to fix and correct that are hard to see with your own eyes. Artists would use a mirror for the same reason but it's a bit easier with a phone!
You can also overlay your progress shot on your original reference to see where things are off. It has really helped train my eye to look for these minor discrepancies.
Good idea, haven't tried that. Been looking for an antique black mirror which are great for tone & shadow adjustments but haven't found one yet. Apparently phones/ipads aren't good for that even thou they are 'black mirrors' (as the amazing Charlie Booker tv show calls them!).
