Joseph's shiny new sketchbook

[TrashPanda]

These studies look dope man!
Especially taking in consideration that you did them from imagination.

Since Im really bad with painting and I dont want to give advices in topis where I
dont have much experience ,- take this tip or idea with a grain of salt.
It seems like the green / blue tones are a bit too saturated.
It probably is accurate to the reference or the vision you had
in your mind for the light and environment setup.

I only mention it because Im recently on a old masters study grind and there
is one artist called: Edmund Blair Leighton who is into medieval subjects.

Besides the fact that this guy was a insane artist he has a strong sense how to play with colors.
I guess the green, blue or general colder tones on the armor parts are almost thinly glazed
on top of the base color and not very prominent. They appear a bit muddy / dark but
they still convey enough saturation to separate the warm and cold contrasts.
In the end it is probably just a style choice but maybe you get some inspiration from him
for your future studies.

Keep up the studies!
