Nudity - Araiel's Sketchbook

[Araiel]

Hello everyone,

It's my first post here and I'm glad that I've joined this great community. I hope I'll get some help and criticism which can help me improve my skill :)

About my works:
1. Fantasy city - it's a combination of 3d and digital painting. At the beginning I made most of models in 3d Studio Max and rendered them with the Ambient Occlusion and Lightning Pass (http://graphic.org.pl/images/jdv1236337351n.jpg). Then I paint colours and details over this render. I wanted to get the atmosphere of fairy tale.

Looking good, a small critique. In your traditional drawings the shadows look a bit overwhelming and sort of randomly placed, but i'm far from an expert. Keep on painting :)

Ludic, yeah that can be true. I have still a lot of to learn but I will try my best to develope my skills :D
