Gerben's Sketchbook - Sharpening the axe
#18
@chubby_cat Thanks! Yeah I guess I could up the sat afterwards but I want to touch them as little as possible. Do it "alla prima" right! I feel like right now "getting better at color" is already too diffuse. There are so many complex interactions in the field of color. I am struggling especially with getting the right saturation. I've always drawn more to the grey side of things and keep saturation for lighter shapes or light-sources, never for shadows. 

@JosephCow Whoa thanks for explaining! I would argue getting his lighting and shadow play you need to have models yeah, it's so complex!

@Zorrentos Cheers! I try to stay as mindful as possible when doing them as opposed to "just noodling about". I've flipped the switch on how I want to do personal work and improve, the gist of it being "less planning, more focus".


My pieces for the CHOW this week; 





A Syd Mead inspired VR sketch I did last night to get more familiar with the tools. Still need to do the overpainting!
