Good works, keep it up.

There is something you must pay more attention in some of your works: the value scale.
When you look at a reference you should know where each value belongs in the value scale.

Do you know what a value scale is?. It is a way to order the different grades of darkness and light that we can see. A good scale is divided in 9 steps that go from total white to total dark.

In Photoshop you have a 256 steps from white to black, but since this is too complex, you should mentally divide that in 9, this will help you a lot to get a better sense of the correct values you have to use to obtain a more accurate painting of what you are seeing. This will also help you to paint from imagination.

thank you I will try it out now

MmmMmM sexy girls!
Figure studies are a good thing. Painting from life will help a lot too.
Keep the edges of your shapes clean, this will help to maintain a cleaner look.
Some master studies and black white paintings will help with light values.

cheers

I am honerd, master Randis visited my skatchbook ^^

thx

[Malakuko]

lots of variety here :) keep up the good work

[~Faust~]

cool shit! You seem to have proportions down, Your values need more work, though. Chooswe your darkest darks and lightest light and search for the shit inbetween. It's all relative :D

[kingkostas]

keep making things cleaner and keep studying the values
see ya

[miycko]

Nice colors a little bit of contrast here and there wouldn't hurt though but there is drama if thats what you tried to achieve.

[Justyna]
