Artistry Evolution

There's nothing really exciting in this post, except that yesterday I was looking up some photoshop guides on how to properly paint with it.

If you don't know, I have a goal to one day create a picture that looks like those amazing paintings/pieces of artwork people create that are amazingly awesome. If that description doesn't suit you, look at any proper fan-art gallery.

So I was testing out my shading and did a couple of object sketches.

Here is one of a ball!

And a gem...

And a person in a jedi cloak!

I really like the shading that comes out of this. My only peeve, of course, is the lack of lines which makes coloring these things 10x harder, but I'm gonna keep working on it.
