I don't make or want to make a habit of posting WIP's however the line work which I put into this killed me, had to learn new things just to get this standard and its thanks to my own personal bully squad big shootout to user @Vonschlippe for being an amazing role model to me, like I said its not done I still have lots of rendering cheese to add but I am hopeful this will be one for the scrapbook!
Saw this on Discord! Like everyone said, the black one is amazing! I feel like you did a great job balancing had and soft edges as well as keeping the values in check. The white one looks nice too, but I think it's too bright in some areas. The bottom part is almost, if not as bright as the top part. Since the light is coming from above the bottom part shouldn't compete with the top. If you darken that area a bit and sharpen the edges more between the highlights and shadows it'll level it up. Hope this is helpful!
Thank you so much for the Critique Lesley, I am most proud of the black one for sure it felt like I had complete control over the reference. I will certainly clean it up because these are going into a University Portfolio, I've been recommended studying the drapery of Greek Statues next so plenty of opportunities there I think
