Great volume, keep it up yo. Dragon looks a little flat, try varying the value as the dragon flows into the distance.

I don't know what happened here. But it was fun. Obvious weaknesses here are Face, Hands and well.. just about everything.. :D Time to get back to work.

It's not half bad. Just watch shapes here and there. You know that. It's fun to sketch, but I haven't seen you spend awhile on a single piece.

It'd rock if you did some side studies and then came back to your latest piece, used the knowledge you got from the studies, and made a badass version of it.

Just my thoughts, cool to still see you having fun with it though.

I don't think I've done studies in Photoshop in while. other than the spheres and textures.. ;D Looks like I gotta get back in the swing of things. I don't really spend a lot of time on things because I don't really have a lot of time to do that. I at least know I need to make time for this.

I was half paying attention to this piece, was watching the Pats game at the same time. Thus the #1 signs >_<

at this point, i think you should do as many studies as possible, specially from great masters or from life. Trust me, it will make a huge difference.

And be sure to do those studies as perfectly as possible, it is preferable to sweat doing 3 difficult studies than doing 50 fairly easy studies of something in your comfort zone.

Hope you will find any of this useful.

Looking good man, I agree with Eduardo that you should try doing a few master studies. Pick up James Gurneys Color and Light and Imaginative Realism if you don't have them already, and Alla Prima by Richard Schmid (my personal favorite) - You seem to be progressing fairly well in regards to fundamentals, just keep up the work.

A quick Master study of Friedrich:



@Eduardo: Yeah I need to find the time to do the studies themselves. I know i have to do them but I'm away from the house 14hrs a day D: Have and particular master in mind? I have a few but I could always use more!

@Thomas: I plan on stepping up my master study game. Any good suggestions? Always looking for more. I own both Color and Light and Imagininative realism. And I've read through both. But I need to keep doing it and practicing while i'm doing it. Read a page, put it into practice. and use that methodology.

Alla Prima? Never heard of it. I will have to look into that.

One of my biggest problems is not having enough time to render things out. I know i can do it over time but I just end up getting bored. that robot for example. I could've finished it in one go if I wasn't so busy all the time :(

Anyway thanks for the kind words and great suggestions guys. I will keep those and mind and keep practicing.

I really enjoy your linework it actually seems more advanced than your color and lighting work.
Those last few images do show improvement on those part :D
Looking forward to you new work.

Hi Tyler, well that sucks, but i hope you will find time study. :)

My personal favourite is Velazquez and i plan to do some studies of rubens and goya too. So i would recommend you those. But for no specific reason, it is just that i love them haha.
