Hey there Karl! You've probably been asked this question a gazillion times but I'll take my chances. How do you deal with an art block? Any tips on the same?
Absolutely love your work! I'm buying your sketchbook from the little sum I collected doing commissions here and there! Can't wait to get my hands on it!!

Here's a sketch (I plan to ink it) I made to verify my understanding of superhero anatomy, as well as composition. I'd be really grateful if I could get some critique on this, in both those aspects. Thanks in advance!
WOW! What a good stream. Congrats @Stephen Bauman for surviving the first ever Proko 2.0 livestream :)

All over the place! I took a different approach on this one, but obviously it didn't pan out. Can I get some critique, anyone? Thanks!

Hi @Arya Pandey. Nice sketch! I like the angularity of your lines, especially in the nose and ear; gives it structure. Stephen just mentioned it in the stream but have you tried squinting at the reference? If you try it you´ll see how similar values blend together. This helps with shading. The darker values form a simple shape that´s easy to copy and helps you map out a clear seperation of light and shadow.
Squinting at the reference, you´ll notice that much of the eyes, the bottom of the nose, the side of her face, including the ear, all fall into the shadow group. Of course, this was a quick sketch exercise so maybe you intentionally skipped adding the shadow value under the nose & on the ear, but thought I´d let you know, since having the right major values in the right spot yields a more finished looking result
Hope this helps :)
