[Cricketts]

Pretty cool studies cricketts! I think you should try being more selective with where you put the textures, you seem to be distributing them pretty evenly across the face and it's making something of a flattening effect. Your color choices are looking pretty good though! It would be easier to tell if you had the photos next to the studies though.

From your patterns from your mind's eye it seemed like you didn't understand where to put the highlights on objects, so I tried to explain it with a little diagram, and did some paintovers


maybe I've gone a little overboard here, I hope you find these helpful, and not annoying XD

I think if you had some simple matte objects to study they would help a lot. Anyway, keep up the good work and hope to see more soon!

Thanks i will do some light studies...........I do appreciate your input.
