hey Enrico, nice start for your sketchbook, i recognise most of the illustrations you studied from Daarken as he is one of my fav artists out there.
Overall, these are good studies but my personal suggestion is, when doing studies stay away from artists that are currently working on the industry. Try doing some studies from old masters, that would be 10x more challenging (and potentially 10x times fun!)
Thanks Ed, I will follow your advice! I've just start mine digital experience, and I didn't know how to start, so I thought Daarken subjects were useful to start!
Hello Enrico, nice sketchbook you have here.
I recognised some studies you were doing here. As you already got suggestion up there- try doing some studies on old masters, colors are much more challenging.
ANd you should do more human studies-that one actually looked nice. Always make sure to know where the focus is and what is going to have more details,and what less.
Hey thanks for the advice, I'm already doing some studies from Caravaggio. For the focus, I think that if I'm doing some anatomy study, I must focus on all the details to learn every part of anatomy. But in the case I'm working on an illustration, the piece will be focused on what I want to focus, and will be less detailed where i want the eye pass away...
