Lucio's Grimoire of Lines and Values

[luciostephani]

Thanks all for the feedback. It really helps a lot!

Here's an old (? 2 months ago...) human figure I did for value and anatomy study. Is stuff like this right??


I quit my last job on December, where I had little to no time to study whatsoever. My free time was spent only on video games and I'm still somehow struggling to get rid of that. That said, I'm taking this intermission between jobs to study hard.

About some stuff you pointed out:
-My color choices are, mostly, guesses. I'm colorblind and have a VERY, VEEEEEEEEEEEEERY hard time using colors in any way. With these spitpaintings, I'm trying to get more used to it working on colors only. That's why most of them are not even in the slightest harmony.
-I was taught digital painting by painting it on grayscale and after that putting colors in, but I ALWAYS screw up after the grayscale. My colors turn out either very opaque or muddy. Here are some of my older works, done without time limit, painted on grayscale first and then inserting colors.








I'll take a look on the other's sketchbooks and see how I can improve. :))
Thanks again for the feedback!
