Hey varbas, welcome to the Daggers <3
Haha ohhhh yes, spot on with the "what good comes from waiting" - glad you mustered up the courage to start a sketchbook, seriously. It's all about the work you put in that matters anyway ~
Your pencils are lookin' good! I checked out your other sketchbook too - you're gonna be dope if you keep it going!
I've got no crits for now, if you need a paintover - hit me up :)
But yea, just keep it up - I'd love to see where you go from here!
smrr - thanks and thanks for comment I am going to take you on that paintover :D but first I should do some works.
Some studies and sketches. I get that studies shouldnt look amazing or anything but been really struggling wiht colors lately. Trying to figure out what I am doing wrong and for now I found that I cant really see value when looking straight on the color piece soo going to work on that.
ps- I was doing some work for chow on conceptart.org but didnt finish in time :D maybe I work on it later or not we will see.
edit. woho why is my text blue ?

Hey! Nice colors with that person with green hair!
The thing about that recurring thought of "I'm not good enough now", never really goes away. Even though my work now is light years ahead of my work a decade ago (Yes, I am that much of a bad artist!), the feeling of being insufficient and not being good enough is always there.
Good thing about that is, you'll always have a reason to climb higher.. I remember those moments thinking to myself that I was the shit only to end up realizing I was shit.
Never plateau! Welcome to the Crimson Daggers!
Nice work here Varbas, I love your colour and value studies and great work with your anatomy studies. If I may, I would also suggest throwing in some gesture exercises to help in keeping your figures looking fluid and natural.
Keep up the great work though mate!
artloader- Thanks alot, gestures are cool totaly forgot about that. For past few days I am trying to figure out what and how to balance studying soo dont want to do alot of different stuff and get burn out or something. But gestures are cool warmup thanks :D
quick update just from today... Nothing much. dont really know what to do with the background on that WIP need to figure it out.
