thanks for the feedback Ager and Archreux! Yep agree, the image has many shortcomings. I do consider it a bit of a failure, but i learnt a lot from it. I started photobashing a bit, i feel im better at controlling the tonal composition than previously, it was one of my few attempts at something non human and its my first real attempt at a landscape in some time. Major weaknessess it uncovered - gestures and figures which are small on the canvas (im so used to doing big stuff), landscapes, texture and detail control. To put it briefly i jumped right out of my comfort zone, and now i've got to get my head down and study those weaknessess.
So over the next 6 months ive got a study plan sorted in an attempt to get me to the next level, it will include landscapes, master studies and film studies. Also gestures and figures, peppered with some fan art for a reward!
So ive decided to do copies of Karl Kopinski's sketches to keep gestures more interesting. I'm basically copying his design, but using my OWN construction and using his 'short hand' to help develop my hands/heads.I dont want to just be blindly 'copying' his work using angles and distances.
So here, goes!
