CHALLENGE 01 : THE STEAMPUNK COWBOY

Here's my take on the first weekly sketch: "The Steampunk Cowboy."

Personal Appreciation:

I'm liking how the horse came out. It's also been fun to test colors and to experiment with the effects of a cloudy exterior. What I do find upsetting, on the other hand, is how stale the overall piece is. Bad! I shouldn't have put everything in 100% profile like this. No matter how good the rendering on that horse is, it still doesn't look very tangible. This layout is almost hieroglyphic - I'm two thousand years behind! I'll make up for it tenfold on the next piece.

Challenge of the Week: Dynamism +++

PS: Constructive criticism is always appreciated. Really.

Hello there. This blog will serve mostly as a means to complete a certain "Weekly Sketch" challenge. Though it may give a good taste of my work, my artwork will remain altogether more prolific on my deviantArt page.

All my next posts will contain the weekly sketch assigned for the week in question, a personal appreciation section for me to summarize what I like or what lacks in the aforementioned piece, and a challenge of the week in order to spice up the next week's challenge.

Happy updates!
