hey raz
liking your stuff your starting you got good facial proportions
and your getting the right color+value in your studies man :)
only crit is on brushwork and color temperature, you gotta loose that texture brush you love soo much lol JK
basically your using hard brushes on soft/round objects aka girls which gives your rendering the bumpy muddy look try using a brush that emulates the object your painting like the standard hard round brush and the standard soft round brush.
BUT here's the twist use the airbrush to paint core shadows that wrap around the form keep the edges with the regular hardround brush. this is far more efective and blending froms
as for tempreature rule of thumb is Warm light=cool shadow and vise versa
you can the the light tempreture by simply the color of the hightlight and areas of mass-light which way dose it lean to warm or cool?
in the pic above you went too warm with the shadows and lights her skin is quite pale but theres tonnnes of colors , theres greens and pinks in the areas of mass light and blues purples and green blues in the shadows but if you color pick them they just look like normal skintones?!?!
thats because colors are relative the tempreature refers to in which direction of the color wheel the hue is shifted, cool grey shifted a bit to the green on skin looks like blue vein but it isnt blue its just a cool grey... weird shit right
im sorry about typing up a term paper but ive struggled thought alot of this shit on my own man with no one to help me figure it out, just wanna help out when i can
keep it up and happy painting
iggy :)
