Nice start for a sketchbook and welcome aboard ! Keep an eye working on the anatomy !

Thanks for the comment Kherns! I am starting to really see the importance of studying anatomy. A lot of things are starting to make sense but I still have a long way to go.

Kherns · 12-07-2011, 02:01 PM

Yeah glad to hear that, and glad you see by yourself, you know take the road, even if it's long, the more you'll do the more you'll discover ! Good luck

Update!

Try not to place specular highlights everywhere. They attract alot of attention and people will just end up looking at the pearl-like 6-packs.

Consider the focal point. Hellboy's abs are more detailed than his face. Basically areas where you've placed greatest amount of contrast are going to stand out.

If you want to practice good lighting, do alot of film snapshot studies. The lighting in film is very delibrate and will demonstrate to you how lighting is a strong part of composition. On a more simple level it's the shapes formed by values.

Here's what I mean

Thanks A LOT man. I really appreciate the advice. I see exactly what your talking about. That is something I will have to work on in the future.

Kherns · 12-15-2011, 10:22 AM

Yeah with light you show someone where he has to look. Also for the Hell boy example if you want you can add more shadow on his face also and more light, more a kind of gradient in the lower part of the piece to darken it, and there you go better focal, better contrast, better piece. Don't be afraid to use black in your grey levels sketchs, and white. Raise man raise !
