The new drawings look good! For some advice and guidelines for when it comes to wear-and-tear and general storytelling in props, I advise you to look at this video:

It's about 3D, but they go into good fundamentals to keep in mind when using storytelling in your prop design.

Keep up the good work!

If get anything out of looking back at what i did. I think one of the error i did is making most of my aging effect to similar in bruze size there should be a wielder range of scratching mark.I also think some denthing could have been added it just doubt of being able to realisticly pull it of in the amount of time i gave myself. I was doing those under 10min each as a exercise to work under crush time.I am not gonna lie i still have room for improvement even if i know different aging effect it doesn't mean necessarly that i link it with some kind of story telling.I think my issue in term of story telling is that i assume if i put aging randomly there a story that automatically get generate out of it i don't know how i can get over this way of think exept making my storytelling deliberate which require more effort maybe the result are better but i have to try to be more deliberate to know that.

For me storytelling is more something about making each thing in the drawing fit in it context since most of the image i am making are not necessarily set in a define universe they leak this context which unite them.I will try to do more design base on brief but i also like to draw really generic stuff so that i can have more drawing done in a drawing session without having to over think every design.I could totally be more deliberate and i will do that once i feel like i have a story to tell not that i need to wait for inspiration or anything i could totally force myself into storytelling to if i want to pratice storytelling.

Right now i am trying to focus more on visual library expansion and some principle of design but i am not there yet in term of being consciously trying to apply those principle to my design.I don't think i can name all the principle of design by memory so i think that definitevely something i will have to drill into my brain so i can stop relying on my note so that i don't forget everytime.

Thank for caring.
