First critique thingy - Morgana_Static - 07-24-2015
Two pics of some artwork i did, would love some instructions on handling textures and colors as i seem to not fully grasp that yet, especially textures. And stuff about shading too probably. And backgrounds...oOk, there might be a lot wrong with my art. First one was a more serious attempt while the second one was a one day challenge.
Also maybe a recommendation of literature, i haven't touched upon anything but Loomis ever.
Will love critique givers forever

Got a good advice for you if you want to have feed back don't send people to a other site to see what you did. There a image insertion feature so that you can add the image directly into the post if you do know how to do it follow the intruction in the spoiler here http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-5356-post-69307.html#pid69307

So, here's some long term advice when it comes to handling colours confidently: draw lots from life, shade/render what you're observing. Why? Because without a good understanding of values, your colours and painting will fall short. One cannot simply overlook values in order to paint, but one can overlook colours in order to paint. ^ ^
Book recommendations... Hmmmmmm.
A must: James Gurney's Color and Light.
