Adzerak's book o' sketches

[Jaik]

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

This page has kicked arse. So many nice things to mention. Your colours are better, your ideas a nicer, your values are stronger, THOSE SKETCHBOOK PAGES.



Your metal is still a wee bit off. I.e. that last dude-freind in the last pose. Since its a white background (I know.. there would never be a real white environment BUT SH) there would be a crap tonne of reflected light on the shadow side. Since metal is basically just the environment projected onto a simple form. When you do your studies I would recommend blocking in a couple of lines (horizon, some sky colour and some ground) in different values, so that you aren't just copying your reference, you are using the images - parsing the information - then translating how it would fit on to the little environment you made.
That was just an idea I literally thought up while reply to your sketchbook.. so now I need to go and do that exercise because it sounds like a good thing to do...

Anyway, keep fighting the good fight!
