Luka's Sketchbook

[spectralpainter]

There a leak of dynamism in most of those you want to show more range of movement than this.Think, running, sitting or even jumping. Standing pose aren't going to make you stand out from the competition. Where are the leg of the men behind the other men in the last piece? How are you going to tell if there a nice overlap... and if thing read properly...


I can't really say with alot of assurance since i am not seeing the file of those artpiece but it seem that there a leak of planning in the thumbnailling phase which make it hard to figure out if thing are going in the right direction for those who critic.

Yeah, definitely going to try to work on not doing static poses for everything. Like you mentioned I think one of the main issues I have is not thinking too much about composition, mood, what a picture is trying  to say. I'm one of those artists that tends to focus on technical stuff. I have some ideas for a new painting that I guess I'll put up in the critique thread maybe.

Really nice star to your sketch book. I see some great things you are doing that show a good foundation and understanding. The lighting on your android piece is well planned out and the treatment to the uniforms in your third piece are great and i can feel the weight of the fabric which is a hard to convey so nicely done.

I would echo a few of the tips that Darktiste brought as up he gave some very good feedback. small tips like thinking through your backgrounds earlier in your planning stage helps a lot later on. the missing legs on the 2nd character on the your third piece is unsettling now that i noticed it. Its not that you need better backgrounds because i like them, just need to clean up some of the tangent lines and missing elements that people will spot easily and might ruin all the great work you are doing in the focal image.

Thanks, and yes I agree going to try to spend more time planning the next image.

Welcome Luka :) Lovely work so far! You have a great sense of painting and lighting. Keep em coming!

You really captured that the sunlight was hitting the back of the figure in the last one. It's beautiful.

Thanks guys!
