Pubic Enemy's Sketchbook

[Pubic Enemy]

Darktiste: In that painting, I was trying to depict simple capillary waves like those in your second picture. I hope they don't read as breaking waves, haha.

Rotohail: I haven't tried studying gems or diamonds yet. They make my eyes bleed at a mere glance.

I don't think I can make significant improvements on this painting at this point, so I'm declaring it finished. I feel bad for leaving in some perfectly sharp line tool edges, but they looked silly when I tried to break them up or soften them. I may just avoid using the line tool so much in the future.

There are a lot of rough spots, but the main thing I'm wondering about is if it reads successfully as a panoramic view. I didn't want to go curvilinear, so I drew the nearer building in 1-point and the farther one in 2-point perspective. I'm also wondering if the composition makes sense. If I were to re-do it I'd most likely make the figures more prominent.

Also, I know the girl is badly proportioned. In the future, I'll make sure my figure's head is not smaller than their knees before I start refining anything.
