Some color theory would help keep your environments a bit more in control. In general most of your full compositions seem a little overly saturated.

Cheers for the comments jedininjaman, the saturation levels is something ill have to keep an eye on.

Here is a pepper and banana still life, a study from a photo of a bridge. The last three are one hour speed paints. The one hour speedpaints are something i am working on doing every day at the moment. I am trying to work on getting a pic to a sketch phase quickly. I sometimes fanny about with pics for ages and not make any progress.

I have been away from home for a few weeks and haven;t had access to photoshop, so done some pencil drawings. The are mostly studies, a self portrait, bargue plate, and anatomy stuff. Ill be glad to get back to photoshop

some mutant characters for fun. I did them with the main types of mmorpg characters in mind ie, the girl is a mezzer, the hovering guy a wizard, big guy a tank and the guy with the big arm dps. Its a little inspired by the upcoming sectet worls mmorpg set in the modern world

Here is a random sketch, a photo study and a couple of environments. Its been a bit of a struggle to concentrate, my wisdom teeth are coming through and feel like they are growing into my brain.

I'm not sure if the proportions make this dude look slightly dwarf like now

Inspired by making bedroom forts out of bed sheets as a kid

Im not sure yet if the portrait sucks. I am not good with inventing faces when they fill the canvas. I feel like i can construct them better when they are attached to a body and are smaller. When they fill the canvas sometimes i mess up construction and end up with a too big nose or eyes mis aligned. Crits would be appreciated on that one

Hello there! You`ve got some good stuff going on here. I think you worked out the environment with the train very well, I like the greens and clearish blues you used. it creates a dreamy feeling for me. You also succeeded very well with making one warm and a cooler painting. Your other environments are also pretty cool ideas, however I think they would be much more convincing if you took it a little step further with contrasts, elements and eventually details. (a problem im struggling with as well).

Overall nice varying sb mate! keep it up!
Cheers
