Will Warburton's sketchbook

[Samszym]

Dang, really inspiring thoughts Warburton! Thanks for sharing.
Studies and sketches look delicious, makes me wish I was painting and thinking about light more.

graphic novel thing looks cool! I think the third panel's throwing me off, it's crossing the 180 degree line i think. I'm imagining the scene as sort of a dialogue between the hooded due and the lady+bald guy, so there's an invisible line between them that the camera shouldn't cross. It's to the left of that line in the first 2 panels, then crosses to the right of the line in panel 3. Suddenly things are the reverse position of where they were, and it's sort of shocking and takes a second for the viewer to process, which interrupts the story.
I'd try putting the camera behind the hooded guy with the pedestal still on the right side of the image, more of a side shot. that would let you silhouette his action more clearly too.
Plus I'd reverse his arms in panel 1 and his hand in panel 5 to make it clear that the orb thing's in his right hand.

Just a bit of storytelling stuff, hope that makes sense. Not sure if you agree, or disagree, or care XD

Whatever the case, keep rocking dude! Your hard work is paying off.
