Busy Busy Busy

I have been really busy trying to get things done for my Senior Show.  It is a short animation in maya and has been consuming my life.  Unfortunately that means I probably wont upload anything for a while after today till its done(May 9th).  So here are a couple more color studies.  I'm still trying to understand how to make things less muddy.  As soon as it's summer I'm going to need to do some more color studies and start on getting some more dynamic compositions. I've realized lately that I need to start getting more mid-tones in my paintings.  I started to incorporate that in the third picture (lady and the car) seen on top.
