What ImSkeptical learnt this week (Sketchbook)

[ImSkeptical]

Yay 'finished' the bloodsport and thus my first imaginative piece! It's better than i thought it would turn out, especially when halfway through I once again discovered my chosen lighting was overambitious and required under lighting faces and stuff, which I haven't ever really studied. I kinda just fudged the lighting forward for a better scene anyway. Furthermore, I think i could've made the lamp in the back better with a real reference, but I ran out of time. Lessons to learn in the future, involve not being afraid of selections shapes and lassos, because hand painting the bottle and letters was kinda silly. So i plan to do some mechanical and modern architectural stuff to force myself to use those tools.

Anyway, I'll undoubted look at the piece tomorrow and once again revert to thinking its garbage. Hopefully this will happen less with future pieces and bloodsports!
