Lychee's sketchbook

[Wils]

Hey, great sketchbook, you have a lot of cool stuff going on here. I like the emphasis you are putting on portraiture. For your portraits, a lot of them are looking a bit muddy to me, some shadows going too dark when maybe they shouldn't. Skin is a tricky thing, you have to take into account sub surface scattering of the light which will make some of those shadows look more radiant (contradicting, i know). Anyway, i found this online which kind of shows what i mean:



Some of your portraits look like the first image from the left, a bit opaque and darker, the third image shows the added effect of sub surface scattering, see how shadows are brighter?

My opinion anyway, hope it's helpful. Grewat work, keep those portraits coming.
