“ I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things “

I just wanted to post a thanks to everyone who reblogged or liked my Rex piece! I am really happy people enjoyed it. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to pull off a fully finished piece I was happy with so I really appreciate all the love!  I know I posted some progression pictures while I was working on it, but I thought it’d be neat to have it compiled in one place for everyone. I also really wanted to show how much using References and asking for Feedback from other artists can really put up the quality of a piece! Reference images are a given, they are always a useful tool. However, asking for a friend or another artist to have a look and give you some pointers can be a super valuable learning tool! Everyone looks at a piece differently, a friend can maybe push you out of your comfort zone enough to get you to really learn something new and come up with some awesome pieces! The first image I drew was referenced from a pose in a magazine I believe! It’s pretty stiff in terms of pose, and the silhouette is a bit too blocky. It’s hard to see what’s going on in terms of motion and shape. This made me unhappy! I enjoyed the perspective, but the pose just didn’t feel quite right. This is where my good friend stepped in to offer me some critique! He offered me a redline over my original sketch with some alterations to the pose and to push the perspective. It REALLY made this piece shine for me, and really compelled me to continue it to the line work phase! The rest is pretty self explanatory. I am fond of varying black line work similar to the Clone Wars 2003 series hehe… Colour was something that took me the longest I think! Originally I started off with a red sky but felt it was too… harsh. I decided to slap a bunch of colours in the sky instead with a reddish/purple shadow overlay for the shade. I think this part turned out pretty good! Encouragement from your friends or peers is valuable to keep your spirits up! A fresh set of eyes and some company while you draw can make the world of difference! This went on for a lot longer than I had intended, but I hope it can help someone out! If anyone ever felt they wanted a second opinion on a sketch, I would love to help out if I am not flooded with work! I love to learn as well as teach hehe. Again, thanks everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful evening!  ✌️ 🐟

This is some stellar advice, I'd recommend giving it a read as it can really help! <3
