Walent's sketchbook

[walent]

Thanks, Dennis and Chris!

Been out of town for a few days, so not so much stuff lately. Finally starting to get a real grasp on the torso anatomy, especially scapular region (which is insanely hard thanks to the huge motion range) and serratus, obliques and lats relationship.









I had a commission where I had to take and existing old master artwork and modify the characters a bit. Having the comp already established has made it easier for me to bring it to a more finished stage. For what I've done so far, this was extremely complex for me, but I think it's the first finished piece I can say I'm satisfied with.


So I realized my weak spot is with planning an image, composition and subject matter, not so much with rendering.






I'm trying to constantly push myself into finishing more pieces and it seems that after that last commission, I find it a bit easier to do. I have to do more full master studies.
This study below is exactly what I want my art to look like! Damn, can't believe I'm finally where I wanted to be. Now all I have to do is bring out the illustrations!
