Aika's sketchbook

Thank you Malcom! I set the colors first on the background and then on the characters and that seemed to work here. I am trying to preserve the initial sketch as much as I can so I dont loose the dynamic pose as it happens to me always but I will fix that weird arm eventually! thanks!

Loving the simplicity of your value sketches. Your brushstrokes are on point!

I really like the sketch of the 2 girls shopping like the overall atmosphere and especially the idea

Oh very nice! It's already coming along really well. I'm sooo excited to see the final result!

Loving the lighting in this. This is coming along really well. The weapons are a bit flat still but its looking good. I think your doing a good job keeping what you had before and improving it as you go. Keep it up.

ok so I would call it done now. Things are a bit loose on the bg but I just dont feel like spending more time on it since the important stuff is there.

malcom 2017-07-17 05:52:48 UTC #94

The only feedback I have is to blur or lower the contrast of the crystals behind the second character. The ones that are being sold(I guess thats whats happening) It catches my eye more that I think you would want. its a cool extra element to have to add to overall story of the piece which is great. Besides that I love everything else. You did a wonderful job. It's ok the have the background sketchy and painterly like it is now. Keep up the good work.

The progression you made with this piece is really cool to see. The lighting + rendering are juicyyy. I agree with Malcom about the crystals, they are a tad bit too colorful and detailed for a background element. Toning down the saturation and adding a soft blur will knock it back a bit and it'll distract the eyes less (:

I'll echo what @malcom and @soluxos said about the gems in the background. But otherwise, I loooooove the way this piece came out. I really enjoy the small story it tells and the lighting and rendering are just out of this world!

aika 2017-07-23 23:31:01 UTC #97

Thank you all so much guys for the feedback! When get the chance I will fix a bunch of things on this along with the gems. I did a small gif with the process:)
