Flo's sketchbook

[seppoday]

Hello, nice gestures. About last lady, you probably knew that proportions are little bit off :) but in my opinion beside that major problem is form and values (+soft, hard edges). let me explain that by image:



Left ball: Your flat painting
Right ball: Reference ball* :P
And quick paintover on bottom (2 minutes  ?) thats why it looks little bit like silk, sry for that :P


I ve spend on it like 5-10 minutes (whole "tutorial" :D). Can be way more accurate. So major problem is that ur form is flat. You need to know basics and it is frustrating i know. But you need to think and knew that there is terminator, reflected light, core shadow etc. I am not great in art, but i want to help. Try reading James Gurney Light and color its great book

And remember where u use hard and where soft edge and how form reflect light ( metal is different than paper etc )! :)
