yeh i know but i do want to be better!! i kinda want to stop doing my concept job for the games company im with because its really stifling my creativity. its pushing me out of my comfort zone though which is good, but everything ends up looking drab and unfinished because the brief keeps changing and the scenes are always so generic

Jean Leon gerome Talked about how in drawing the most important is form, and when painting, it is light and color

Values show light and shadow, which in good use depict form, drawing is all about form, they are 2 different approaches
