Ricardo´s Art Journey

[ChrisDMiller]

Hey Rick, you have some really good stuff in here! I'm really digging the caricatures and the rendering in your studies is on point as well as the different variations in the skin tones you use.

If I can offer a bit of critique (please feel free to critique me as well :) on the last concept character...the anatomy looks good, but the rendering and texture on everything looks very similar to each other. Like the pants, it's a bit hard to tell what type of material they are. If they are leather, then I could see the use of the bright highlights in the folds of the knees, but if they are cotton, then you could keep the values a little bit closer together while changing the hues slightly (like what you have on the thigh area). What material is the jacket?

The lighting is also a quite inconsistent. It seems like it's coming from her left (according to the face, pants, and jacket...but on the breast armor, it seems to be coming from above. On her right arm, there seems to be bounce light, but there's none on the jacket covering her torso on that side or the right leg.

Hope this helps a little and keep up the good work!
