Hidden Dagger

Finally got the fan of my laptop fixed. Now I can start posting again. Glazing is when you mix very little pigment with the thinning medium that you are using to create subtle color and tone transitions. The studies are coming along great. For the water I would add more subtle color and value shifts to hint at which areas are picking up light and from where they might be. The value of the plank furthest to the right in the water could perhaps be glazed to one value to show that it is a cast shadow as it is in the reference Overall, your values are coming out well so far as a whole, (especially at the focal point). Maybe hint at a few more things that stand out in the building's design. Hope that helps a bit. Now, here some of the things I've been working on so far. I think the paint over suggestion is a great idea. I'd love to hear what you have to suggest. Thanks.

I did some studies for my spy character while building my visual library. I used pencil and white gouache.

These look great. Are you going to be working on the drawing for the character soon?
