Adzerak's book o' sketches

[Adzerak]

Thanks for that feedback there, Flo! And right you are, I've been in a blocky period for some time now it seems. Guess I've been there since I started working more directly in color. Before I usually used to start more in grayscale and I'm much more used to that, getting the forms down before thinking about hue and saturation. I looked at some older work and some pieces had better form and texture in them (tho not as good/no colors tho heh). So yes, more attention to form and also brushwork to get more texture in ;D


Since I started working more with color many of my pieces have been a bit too saturated for my taste. And I've lost some of that feel for form, which is why I'm gonna switch it up more and start out with a grayscale block-in and semi-render or whatnot, see where it get's me.
Going to feel nice to focus more on value again!
But for now, here's some inks and a finished barbarian or some such!



Irl ink! Easy to forget how unforgiving this is xD That thief should have a way more visible right leg, but I guess it's there, somewhere.



PS...ink. Got bolder with the shading and I really like the way it't still readable.


This version is a big step-up from the old wip of the guy on the previous page xD
