Tank Rat's Sketchbook

[Tank Rat]

Interesting how you represent curved value as a united value.

Do you know about what is a 1,2,3 read? It a light concept from scott robertson book.It basically how to light up a form to show volume.Right now there 2 side of the object with the same light intensity and one with it own value.In this concept you should have 3 different value for each of your 3d shape.

The concept can be found in Scott Robertson - How to Render - The Fundamentals of Light, Shadow and Reflectivity

Anyhow good break down of the major volume.Your doing great since you don't fear what most artist shy away from which is drawing hand and feet.It will sure be fun to see you make character later on.

I think you could try to step your understanding of the plane of the head&face as it is absent from this sketchbook.

I actually have that book in PDF form. Its a great book, but I've been putting off reading it because of that. I definitely need to finish it. As for heads and faces, I might start that grind next week or the week after. It all depends on how I feel about what I'm studying now. After a burnout day and rethinking some things, I think I finally found some concrete goals to work toward. I'm still working on feet and a few other things this week.
