@Lurch, nah dude you're totally getting one, I promised. Also, Bart, he slipped between the cracks.
@Aumes: No probs man. Aha, burned stumps are always creepy!
@Morie: Haha I did totally butcher it. I even asked a Polish artist mate of mine a while ago and practiced it and I recognised my own total fail. Gotta try, though. XD There are many kickass polish trad and digital. painters! Something in the water? :)
@Punky: You mean the value sketches? I'd rather they weren't studies, just your own compositions, but you can use reference or something as inspiration of course. Consider this a teaser to just get into the habit of doing solid value sketches. If you want to take some of them further in later weeks you totally can, depends what comes out. We might be doing some colour/mood iterations over one or two of them in the coming weeks.
Oh and for you tradsters, markers and ink pen for implying detail are a good combo for doing these sketches. Don't worry about showing this much detail though, just the best example I could find:
And check out this link to Scott Robertson's awesome vid, which starts at his marker demo. It's aimed at atmo. perspective but you can adapt it to any enviro sketching :). Or just use good ol' pencil, or whatever what you prefer...what do I know!?
