"El Sastre Rojo" Portafolio Review

[MIKETAYLOR]

My name is MIGUEL SASTRE & I'm 25 years old.
I'm studying FINE ART in Salamanca University (Spain).

My goal is to be an concept artist (character/environment) but I wont mind to do Illustration works to support myself.
I know my works isn't the best but here is ti.

Thank you.

Hi there. I think overall you have a pretty decent handle on texture although it could always be pushed a bit further. What I like about your art is that you work with different compositions and you seem pretty brave with it comes to trying out perspective and foreshortening.

I think the largest improvement you could make would be with your colors and shading. Particularly in the environments, your colors seem very blurry and over blended and they don't really create much volume. I would suggest more studies with color but to focus more on value as well and using contrast and darks and lights to really solidify your shapes.

Also your skin tones can seem a bit brown and flat. Perhaps play more with color relationships on skin so you can really give some life to your characters.

Good luck with your studies.

I'm no professional so take my words with a grain of salt =P . Your stuff is really interesting and beautiful, I especially like your environments and the close-up of the eye. But I think your figure drawing could use some work, and to me those seem the weakest pieces in here. The knees, ankles, and other joint-areas seem a bit formless and undefined, and the hands are often strange or a bit too small, along with other things here and there. I think your anatomy could just use some overall improvement for them to look as good next to your other pieces.
