Sketch Goulash!

[Heliux]

Pretty weak day today; just some light sketches. Slow day at work, so I got a chance to sneak my watercolors out and do some value, color, and medium's workflow tests which is cool.

[Heliux]

Alright. fine. I said everything. I fucking hate posting this, but god help me if I run outta time again in the day where I can't do something better... ;_;

Noticed a trend where when I work everyday consecutively my posts actually get worse. That's crap. Time to push through that and hold myself to a better standard. Dear shitty seizure helmet-Templar, I declare you my zero.

Drawing looks sweet! Although it took me a second to realize they are holding candles, Thought they had glowing thumbs up. I think something like a lantern would look a lot more fitting!

Did some more work on the monster line up's lighting scenarios. Not super happy about the results, so I'm gonna delay posting till I get it into a spot where I feel better about it.
...in the mean time,

I like this last sketch a lot, you should render it sometime :D

[Heliux]

Trying to couple passes. Learning and stuff...

[Heliux]

Spent the majority of the night working on more of the sketch above; A lot of time trying to get the local values separated from the rest, undoing a lot of the lighting stuff I did previously. Screwing up and learning stuff. Yay?
probably should start working on planes a bit more, think it would help a lot with lighting stuff. ;\

Nice drawings & painting you got here. One issue i with you value is you're muddying them up. I'm suffering from the same thing sometimes. Think about the base value & then the shadow. Like a black object will have less contrasting shadows, like the value range might be 8-10 (including the highlights), but a white object will have a full value range. Hope this helps. Keep posting!!

Head/form studies from earlier in August:


perspective tilt.
trying to match the lighting a little too. I'd like to do tighter versions of these, but also don't want to get caught noodling details for hours.



Light/inclination & Comp studies.

Hey folks! Missed you guys! <3

some sketchies; one old, one new. Trying to focus on getting better at keeping consistant perspective and thinking in form with these.
