Mariyan-Hristov: Thank you!
Leo Ki: Thanks! I actually didn't know that cloud forests were what I was looking for until I saw them. Thank you for the tip. I also agree that the portrait got a little messy towards the bottom. I intentionally left it less rendered than the face but maybe it's too contrasty, hence looking messy. I'll try to work on that next time. Thanks!
To answer your question I havn't been using lines in these black and white sketches. I'm trying to be a bit more freeform with how I find my compositions so I don't plan with lines much. If I do a study or design work I use lines.
I have some more progess on the jungle environment. It's really tough to figure out all of this detail. I also constantly want to be all painterly and imply detail but still end up rendering the crap out of everything. I guess I really do need another 30 years before I can be like craig mullins. Sigh... I feel like I have to be there now already because everyone working is so freaking good already.
I also did another study to figure out how I can handle the water.
