Ricardo´s Art Journey

[RickRichards]

@Echo - Thanks and thanks for the tip man! Yes, creating room for the composition to breathe was a smart move and your tip was already incorporated on the piece.
Instead of an overlaping i´ve used your tip on another way, to create a gab between the cape and the tree, so the image may read a bit better.

@Fedodika - Hey man, thanks for stopping by and your paintover.
The image is about a man and his bitch ( female dog- no obvious joke implied)  trying to find his son. IU´m trying to tackle from an emotional prism, not too obvious but kinda of ambiguous.
I love your paintover, the values are there but there´s a thing that would crash directly towards my main objective for the piece, loses the emotion as the man is removed far away in the mist. Any suggestion to push the cinematics yet without losing the tie with the characters?
Once again, a big thanks.

This time i´ve slowed a little bit with the portfolio piece, made some adjustments but i´m still trying to figure out a good colour schemme for the piece and open to suggestions.
Meanwhile did a few studies to push value understaning and slowly delving into colour realm. I love the way the original daggers pushed on the early history of this forum haha so i´m trying to copy their method, doing a bunch of studies, some directly related, other´s not that much.
