Rognoll's Sketchbook

good job man keep it up!


try keeping your main light direction and intensity in mind at all times as you're shading your form.

the light seems to be from above and to the right of the picture but her right arm is really bright. also, her dagger is casting a shadow but her head is not casting a shadow on her neck.

try using only 2 or 3 values to model the form and check to see if it describes the lighting condition well.

if it doesn't at least you won't have to wrestle with too many details as you are correcting the values and forms :)

i really like the work you've done on her dress folds and belt!



just mah thoughts, i make the same errors too, so take whatever works away from it and keep doing what you're doing!

Wow! thanks a lot! Sorry, I have just seen that post
Anyway, thanks for taking your time, I'll put that into practice.

The pose of the girl's body and arm holding the dagger looks really gracefully curved. The armor and dagger design and detailing look really solid.

The arm over the fence might need a little work. Is she resting her ribcage against the fence? Or her armpit? Or elbow? You may want to try out the pose yourself to see what feels natural.

Overall, good work--keep plugging away!

Thanks! Yeah! actually, I have no idea how she's leaning. Gotta stop amking that mistake.

I also am working hard on fast sketches and it helps so also keep up this habit. good luck with future ones, keep posting!

Yeah it helps! :D
BTW: Holy crap! Amazing gallery!
