Coinhero's sketchbook

[Amit Dutta]

Nice enviros, starting to feel that atmosphere in the studies. It appears that you use small similar sized brushes for much of the painting. There is just this "feel" in your works (less in the last one) that suggests this. If so, try and use larger brushes for things that don't need so much detail. There is a well known adage in trad. work (but applies to digital) to always use the biggest possible brush size for the job.
There is beauty and energy in effiicent vibrant brush strokes. One way to practice is lay down the stroke in one hit. If it isn't right, undo and try the stroke again. This keeps the energy rather than building up a shape with multiple small ones. With practice you will get better and have to undo less.

I also feel like your darkest values tend to be a bit on the dark side and you need to watch your value contrast to really nail the correct read for the lighting conditions. Might be a monitor calibration/accuracy issue, so try and get that as good as you can.

Keep it up!
