Timothy Kong's sketchbook

Hey Timothy and welcome to CD!
I can see you've been working a lot on your skills and it shows in your paintings. The colours and hues are great! I really enjoyed looking at your art. Maybeifirubmyfaceagainsthescreenitrubsoffonme May I ask how you practiced colours/light? :) I'm having big issues with that still.

It's noticable though that you lack some skill in Masses and Shapes, especially anatomy of the torso & arms. You do great painings but don't forget to do plain and maybe even bad looking anatomy studies aswell! (I know most of my studies are bad as hell). It's just learning the rules (torso is so many heads long, so many heads wide) and then applying it to your art.

Keep going, you're really gonna go places!

Hey! Thanks for taking a look at my thread, I really do appreciate it. Also thank you for the C&C, when you say masses and shapes do you mean that the rendering of the form is poor or the general drawing itself is bad? Regardless I definitely need to work harder on my fundamentals.

Regarding colours and light my best advice aside from studying from life and photos is to really try and understand how the world works, really observe how colour interacts with the environment depending the objects around it and the type of light source that is shining on it. Try to think about that when your are doing lighting studies.

Thanks again for the comment, I'll hopefully push for more updates soon!
