My Sketchbooksss+

[dawckward]

hello, serious grind in your SB!, also alot of improvement, i like that you dont shy away from repetition, and are not afradi to do your own stuff, i think since you can do very good studies why not apply your studies like in the poster project?

also congratulations on getting comissions!

things id like to compliment are: silouette you have very strong eye for it, also contrast, you are getting used to going darks and whites and using the shifts.

at times you seem lost about how to shade planes when you do stuff from your head, this does not happen in your studies, since you have a reference youre using it to really nail in your head the ammount of light or dark in that spot.

try experiments like turning a hand in your head and drawing it without reference, check which questions pop up in your head, write alot of notes, youre at a stage where your process matters and having tools to answer the question "how light or dark should this be" but also "what does this serve in the painting" should be starting to pop up in your head

anthony jones has a very good video i really recommend

this is not to say youre not doing great i just thought that you can get more out the time youre investing in practicing, keep at it, i really enjoyed looking through all of your sketchbook
