I made some time today to draw before work hours and have grabbed the chances I got to keep sketching through the day.
Thank StoneTape, I checked out your facebook portfolio. You've got some really cool art getting uploaded. I think your work could get boosted by some focus on colour theory/experimentation and getting crisper/cleaner brushwork going.
I'll keep that in mind and just jump in to drawings. Worst case scenario is a piece of paper has graphite on it and I don't like it. Not much consequence to fear of.
On tonality and value, I'm currently trying to focus on developing my observational skills and linework so I have a solid base. Syca Yasin (youtube), among other artists, have mentioned the value of focusing on one area at a time to learn effectively. Value is important and is the skill I will pursue in my next sketchbook. I might even come back and try to shade these drawings correctly at that stage.
