mostly painted in values, raelly could use the practise.

Hey man, be careful about using pure black as a color, it tends to make things look unnatural as pitch black darkness very rarely occurs in nature :-)

[gen5]

@ Simon, sweet advice!

I've been trying to reduce the blacks in my drawings lately. I intend to just use darker shades of greys :O, seems to make overlay coloring easier.

a mountain study again, with a mech nearby :D

Looking good man. Keep it up. I'd love to see how far you could push a single piece maybe, work on it for as long as you can. I dno?
Like the character at the top of this page btw. Looks cool. :)

Nice! your not afraid to try out challenging stuff. Keep going for the throat of what you're after and as your experience adds up you will have gleaned much. (i made the mistake of doing too much practice)

[gen5]
