Jordy's Sketchbook with Art Stuff

[Patrick Gaumond]

I think of all the "eras" of painting you can do, scifi probably benefits the most from having sharp edges. Try tightening up some of the shapes a bit. If you want something to feel very manufactured, hard shapes is the way to go. Theres a reason why hard edge abstraction paintings feel cold and industrial, precisely because theyre only hard edges. Not to say that you should have only hard edges, because they will ruin a good painting, but some nice hard shapes in the focal point at least will go a long way

Also, I feel like the guys arm is blending in too much with the bike, at first glance i thought he was inside the bike (like a car) or that he was leaning on it. So either separate with different hues or increase the contrast between them

And that last sketch is really great dude!
