Hey everyone, I'm new here and Id like to start by saying I would love honest critiques, no matter how brutal! Let me know how I could improve, I have hundreds of studies from the past few months, but Ill post a few of my most recent pieces, and start updating the thread with more stuff!
Hey Wraeclast!
Nice start to your sketchbook! I can see you have some wonderful ideas brewing in that head of yours!
I would love to see your studies as well, here in your sketchbook :3 could help somewhat with providing feedback.
As for crits, I would suggest doing some value studies, especially with portraits, as values are the foundation of great colour work.
Keep it up man :D

Done with this for now, lots I could do still. I feel it was great practice with lighting and form though. Ill definitely be putting more time into the next one. Hopefully I can take it even further.
Some stuff I started, the linework for a character concept, aswell as a study for it before I try painting it. Also did some thumbnails for the theme dark void. Leaning towards 2 and 1 at the moment. (The black dots would be creatures coming out of these portals).
Nice start to a sketchbook man, you've got some cool stuff in here!
If I could offer a crit, I would recommend you focus on your values and lighting. Try to understand where your light is coming form and how it effects your forms. Do some simple orbs and basic shapes made out of different materials and see how the light effects them differently. Still life paintings are super useful for these too, i'd recommend doing at least one a day.
