Jones Sketchbook

[atrenr]

Just went caught up on your sketchbook, Russell! Going through it, I noticed a pattern you may not be aware of. You do a lot of anatomy studies(legs,arms,hands etc.) as well as life studies but all of your imagination work is of creatures! Were is the reinforcement for those? There are places where I think "oh he could have used reptiles to make that look better" or "porcupine or hedgehog quills would have been cool there". Of course you don't need a 1:1 copy. But animals are literally creatures and if you are gonna paint something warty, scaled, slimy etc, we have living things with those traits. Steal that knowledge and make your monsters more believable! Don't mean to be to harsh or anything, keep up the steady work <3
