Description

ArtStation | Instagram | Youtube | Prints The past dozen or so paintings I've worked on have been incredibly challenging and difficult to finish - my observation and painting skills feel like they're rusted and stuck, if that makes any sense at all.
Whenever I feel like this I know it's time to get my shit together and start doing regular studies again, no matter how busy I am. After all, the ability to observe is like a muscle, and needs to be trained often to keep itself strong.
With this one I wanted to get a refresh on basically everything I paint often, with a focus on armour rendering.

I've included some breakdowns of the things I remembered/discovered in the process of studying this on artstation, mostly to hammer it into my own brain, but hopefully it can help out some of you too c:
