Sketchbook in progress

[Laureline]

[i]I there, I'm pretty new in posting on Crimson Daggers and have been posting few pieces I thought were
finish in the finished thread and got advised to pop here for more sample of my work in order to receive
better advice so ... let's try to go further.

First of all, I know that I need to progress in composition / chara design / landscape / story telling aspect
( which is way abstract for me ) in order to create real complete illustrations / concepts ( abstract as
well ) etc so this is where I would like to head and maybe this should explain why I do have mainly portraits.

In another hand I had some trouble defining if my work is complete, finished or if it's still need to be worked.
Does it answer to a technical reason?
or is it because I decided to say " this is the end of it , I found it complete "
or is it because the audience decide to say : " it is finished " that the work is complete ?

Anyways let's start and of course it will be my pleasure to hear from you guys about what I'm doing.
I will probably not upload all my sketches and stuff ( should I ? ) because maybe it is not interesting
anymore unless you find it useful and in that case let me know. I will only uploads the last sample I
did so it will start slowly.

Anyways thanks a lot if you read all of the above ( you're really brave ! ) and let's begin!

So let's start with .... me where I try to work with values and looseness of edges/ also try to think
a painting/drawing as a matter of lights and shadows instead of thinking it with lines.



and those one were for inktober that I failed in therm of regularity on my work: not a dificult task though but kinda hard to find and organise my time.






and this last one is my first Master study of Roberto Ferri: L'ombra Della Luna, and I noticed that the
original psd file is much better than the compressed one jpg ( obviouly of course ) but still it looks to
had loose the soft edges and " deeper " black that I have on the psd ... : Only my opinion.
