Rotohail: Thank you for your words and for taking the time to visit! Regarding the hallway painting, I think you're right, there's something off about the perspective. Part of it might come from me adding a skirting board to the bottom of the wall on one side which throws off the visuals of the floor abit. But i definitely rushed the overall perspective a bit and the upwards vanishing point is way overstated.
My approach with colours has recently been a black and white sketch to figure out the composition, then an entirely new colour sketch to figure those out. Then I basically make selections in the black and white comp and slap the new colours in there and repaint everything, using the bw sketch as reference. Ideally I'd like to figure out the compositon and colours all in one step but it's really tough. I'm working on it at the moment.
The girl with the robot painting is a painted version of a panel from a comic i'm working on, so yeah it's very sequential. She's supposed to look like there's a flashlight being pointed at her which is why her overall values are so bright. Maybe it doesn't come across right. I hope I'll do better in the future.
Thanks again for all your comments, it's much appreciated! I hope you drop by more often :)
cgmythology: Thank you, I'm glad you like the work. I'm really tring to pay attention to lighting and how it shows form so I'm glad you're picking up on that!
Here's my stuff from the past week. I worked over the fantasy jungle piece some more. I think maybe it's a bit overworked now but I think I have to move on to another piece. I started work on a second jungle piece with the same theme and I really learned a lot from it. It's not done yet but it's well on its way. The rest are sketches and photostudies from the past few days.
