Reed wants to draw better... at last

[Reed]

sorry, was away for damn too long, got some serious problems with my design-school deadlines :/

I worked hard nontheless!

i will update this sketchbook less frequently from now on, i will still finish 3 potraits a week at least.

I also started a challenge for myself, beginning sunday, with the deadline on the sunday after, to push my composition skills, characters, landscapes an stuff and to force myself to really get the whole job done until a certain deadline is reached (i used to start working, but barely ever touch the picture after i worked 3-5 hours on it, this will END now.)

since i don´t want you to bother with the crap i did in between, here is some stuff i did the last week:




this week i picked the word "nightingale" and "gothic architecture" ... well here are some studies (1,5 hrs each) and a wip.







still got huge problems with mood, and value, i will fix the perspective in the wip of course, but i don´t know what im doing wrong with color, is always looks so lifeless and flat :/

back to work!

cheers
