It's been such a long time since I have felt myself noticeably improving in my artwork, I was so happy to realize that I have been getting better. the truth is, I let myself stagnate for a while, but over the winter break I have been doing a lot of practicing and I think its been paying off.
-I've practiced anatomy, so my human figures look a little better, and I can pull off more dynamic poses
my lighting and color theory have significantly improved thanks to a couple of photoshop techniques I've learned as well as taking a class on lighting and such
Also, finally, FINALLY, I have embraced the photoshop brush (evident in quite a few of the above works) and oh my god, I'll never go back. THE POWER. THE POWERRRRRRR. It's so much easier to get accurate effects and I can bust out artwork really quickly and effectively. 10/10. 10 out of fucking 10.
