Beefy Studies Every Day

[Monsieur-Beefy]

@ rich4rt : whoa! thanks bro! various depth cues are gonna be something I really hold in my mind for my next painting. I completely missed them on the pokemon piece to be honest. I got the darkening + lightning pop critique on CA as well, but I just don't think it's the right way to go. I mean look at mine and then look at your paintover. Which is happier? I like the feel better with the sunlight. I should definitely push the highlights more on primary light sources though, even if they are 'secondary' and/or dimmer. I'm gonna read through color and light again tomorrow and try and conquer this warm cold thing. I can see the difference, but I just don't really understand how to do it. I feel like the colors are nice in the light, but get muddy when they hit the dark values. Also, I didn't do the lightning ball the way I wanted it. More like [this] is what I was going for. Thanks again for your help, it does wonders for my motivation!
