Hey, thanks for stopping by my sketchbook, you've got great progress here as well! If I can offer some feedback, you seem to have very soft edges all throughout your pieces, and could use some more edge variety both to indicate different materials and to make your work read a little clearer. Richard Schmid's Alla Prima explains edges very well, but it's a pricey book. I looked around for a quick primer on edges and found a video Sam Carr made, hopefully it'll be useful http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgv8ECDh_CM. Edges are a whole new can of worms to start exploring, but painters who use them well have work that's a cut above the rest, so I recommend taking the time to check out work from those artists and see how they use edge control to their advantage. Some good artists for this are Zhaoming Wu, Richard Schmid, and Lin Ran. Hope all this is helpful, cheers!
