referenced painting study

I'm having a hard time grouping my value zones in a clear and concise way, I can't seem to include reflected light and hue changes (particularly in the cobblestone path here, and some foliage details) without complicating and overworking the values.

Undecided

So, I was too deep in to go back to perspective Im just cheat and render it out. Sorry Fosco - When I start the next one im gonna really lean into the horizon line and vanish points. Try get some feedback on it early when its still sketch phase.

24-26

Still a looooong way to go but nice to see the distance covered so far :)

OPTIC BLAST!

Cyclops from x-men! uuuhhh i started with the silhouette first (kind of a sloppy move on my part). Actually, this whole drawing is pretty much based on my intuition, so yeah, the proportions and everything under the visor are gonna be pretty inconsistent, especially considering the angle. Didn't do too bad on the hair and line variation, tho. Oh yea, and there's a face from imagination on the bottom right. Also, have y'all read the remastered x-men manga yet. Im enjoying it so far. Thanks for the feedback!

I got some feedback in a Discord server, but it’s not here. Since im treating this website as a kind of journal, ill upload. I worked on the material separation, render of the face and tried to make the metal armor more beliavable. I think it’s a good improvement. Still, it could allways be better.

1. Definitely struggled with the back feet being hidden but still managing to draw convincible forms. 2. Even with the perspective grid I think I did a poor job of nailing that yawning snout - referred to yawning lions for reference. The other entries are fantastic!

Need help with the form/proportions of the Upper torso.

How do I improve the form or proportions of the torso? I feel like something is off about the upper torso's that I'm drawing, I'm mainly just drawing a roundish sort of square for the base of the torso, and adding the chest over it, and just indicating the ribs.

Snow practice but I don't understand how to capture the volume of snow ? Also any extra tips would be appreciated!
