Garkie's sketchbook- Looking for Improvement

[Garkudion]

Hey there! Welcome to my sketchbook. Hopefully it'll serve as a good log for improvement, because being surrounded by artists with such skill is very much intimidating, haha! I'd like to learn how to paint digitally- I recently installed photoshop and hope to get better. Right now, I suck at digital because I try to overlap a bunch of lighter colors to get a proper skin tone. I want to be able to use rich colors without looking clumsy- but that'll hopefully be in the future!

Here's some of my work- thanks for viewing! Any and all critique is encouraged!

Nice work.
my favorite is your first pic.
Cant wait to see more color in your posts.

The poses seem stiff to me, you need more flow in your drawings search for Michael Matisse's Flow book you will see what I mean.

Thanks! That's good advice.

awesome stuff, i really like the one w/ the faces in the armor, only suggestion I have is on the top picture to try and keep the color of the lips and the shading from under the nose a bit more sepperated , kinda looks like there blending together
everything looks great, keep us posted
