**Maerrick** · June 16th, 2008, 05:40 PM

good quality sketches. I really like your ability to push the concepts further without making photo manipulation cheezy.

Some environment.

**Valerij V.** · July 3rd, 2008, 08:53 AM

Some update of my work.

**Tmza** · July 3rd, 2008, 09:50 AM

Good work, that last one is imo best so far.
I also like those pencil thumbnails, they have some potential.
You might want to paint your enviros with bigger brushes first and block in the main shapes. Using bigger brushes helps defining the forms a lot easier. Also you might find helpful to check your values by turning the painting to grayscale.

**Valerij V.** · July 3rd, 2008, 02:45 PM

Thanks man. It is really some valuable information you gave me. I'll try to do my next painting using technique above.

**Valerij V.** · July 14th, 2008, 05:08 PM

This is environment i dome some time ago and still can't find time to finish it. I will post finished version soon.

**Valerij V.** · July 14th, 2008, 05:11 PM

I finished up this little ship yesterday. I already had some advise on it so now i know my mistakes and will try to push next one further.

**Valerij V.** · July 14th, 2008, 05:19 PM

This week i will study environments. I will post some of them everyday. As always your comment is extremely needed.

This is one i did today. More coming up.

**Valerij V.** · July 15th, 2008, 04:31 PM

So as promised today's environments. I could complete only two. I should stop somehow to render details. But if i draw 15min art it is way to bad.

**Valerij V.** · July 15th, 2008, 04:32 PM

**Valerij V.** · September 14th, 2008, 03:50 PM

I really enjoy your environments, it's something I'm really week at and love your atmospheric perspective. I would love to see something a bit more refined or finished in how you render certain aspects: rocks, organics, etc seem to be much looser than your man-made aspects which can clash in the image.

Otherwise, om nom nom nom I love environments.
