I like that you iterated and showed your steps on the skeleton piece. I often have a problem in that my sketches and block-ins can feel a lot more dynamic than my finished piece, sometimes the flow is gone and i'm just focused on technical rendering in a stiff sort of way. Is that something you experience?
Asking since, though the painting turned out nice, I really like the value study you did of the same piece. It has such dynamic lighting and a nice focal point on the skull, enhanced by that lost edge going on to the left on the cloak. The overall value composition is better imo, the "light shapes" much more interesting, it really pops!
May your brush stay wet!
Hi Adzerak!
I thought I'd try and show my process as best as I could, I had quite a few other designs where I was messing around with incorporating armour but I realized that since I haven't rendered armour before I would probably be biting off more than I could chew hahaha.
Onto your next question, I get that all the time! I feel like I'm more confident in my initial sketches because I am just exploring and not committing to anything just yet, once I start rendering a piece, as you said, start focusing on the rendering side that I feel like my work looses that dynamic feel. With time we will both definitely find that balance of nicely rendered/dynamic. :)
Thank you very much :) Yh I thought my drawing turned out alot better than the painting, since I've mainly been focused on drawing for the past year or so I guess that my drawings are bound to be better than my paintings. I just need to start putting in that painting practice!
P.S. Sorry for the late reply.
