Bookend's Sketchbook

[AngeliquevdMee]

Hey Bookend just wanted to reply to that last post you talked about '' I was really starting to question my work, because I don't think it's been improving-- It's actually been looking worse and worse, and I think it was definitely in part due to the brushes. '' I think that all artists go through that phase once in a while, it's just your eyes and brain messing with you. Just look through all the pages and you will see you are leveling up with every piece you do, but there are just so many fundamentals to focus on that maybe you don't realise it straight away. Try to focus on one thing when studying. I feel that from the first to the last page you are doing ok with picking colors - assuming you eyeballed them - but your values (black/ white) can use some work. Also some paintings/studies look really soft, maybe you can try to play around with some hard rounds or 50% hard :)

Don't worry too much, we have all been there, and everyone's here for you :D Keep on going!!
