Thanks kfeeras! I have been putting a lot of effort into my environments, and im pretty happy with the results, but i keep trying to improve myself

Plus, I actually am able to come up with my own ideas now, and not just variations on other peoples ideas, lol.

Sorry i am almost a month late seeing your message, its been a busy month

Thanks thedestroyer

Here are a few more recent sketches. First 2 are concepts for a matte painting which will have live action in the foreground which is why there is the black matte at the bottom. No reference used:

The first sketch was discarded, so it is the second one which will become the matte painting.
This is a sketch that I did earlier tonight using photo ref:

Hey there nick nice sketchbook so far. If I were to give u some advice based on the work ive seen it would probly be the same advice i try to give myself every once in a while. Its that a lot of your views you choose, the perspective, are usualyl from a regular eye level. Like you are looking directly at the horizon.

I think its the easiest view for humans in general but Its one of those things that makes an image more dynamic.

Keep it up!
