Pre demo vs. post demo. Biggest adjustments between the two were spending significantly more time on the lay in getting the proportions correct and trying to differentiate the values a bit more in the second. Would love some feedback!
Great work! I can definitely see the improvement! I’m so glad you slowed down because yes, the first one looks and feels rushed as if you did not care as much. I think that’s one of the biggest problems we deal with as beginners; the fact that we can’t wait to see the end result and we expect it to be awesome, and if it doesn’t look the way we expected it then we start feeling overwhelmed & frustrated, but we forget that we have to take our time and go little by little. Enjoy the process. Speed will come with practice! Good job in pushing the darker values!

I’ve always dreamed of being a professional artist in the entertainment industry. I have always been interested in character design and lately I have been extremely drawn to concept art for film. I have a lot of ideas, but it is hard to translate them into paper or digital work without the proper knowledge to do so. That’s why I’m working on learning my fundamentals first. Art has always been part of me & I want it to be part of me until my last day. Also, I want to make a living doing what I love.
It's really nice that you have a clear goal. It seems to me that art can go in so many different directions, and knowing where you want to end up, makes the learning process a bit more streamlined. Best of luck on your journey!
