Just to throw it out there, Black is frowned on in illustrations because it distracts the attention of the eye and pulls it out of the image itself to look at a black space of nothing where no details or forms exist. It's okay to use it in smaller doses where this distraction doesn't occur and when used right can make a piece much better! Just gotta know how and when to do it~

Nice job on all the battlefield scenes. Not many are willing to jump into something so intimidating, but it looks like that is where you are most comfortable. Gonna second Chit and recommend anatomy studies, always the anatomy studies <3

thank you. i'm starting to get to grips with value placement but the last few paintings its like i've been concentrating on including so many different aspects- composition, value groupings, appropriate detailing, hard/soft/lost edges- that the head space it takes is immense, makes it hard to actually just paint lol. Definitely need to keep on with the gesture drawings. can't wait for the day i can just draw a person and have the proportions spot on 90% of the time first time. slowly but surely bits are falling into place
