Crank you're the hardest studying artist I know right now ! It's a great idea though, fundamentals are what make your art look amazing, engine room is coming along great.

I always try to remember about the light dark rule, have light on dark then light etc in layers to show better values and depth especially with 3d objects.

Thanks Mirco! That means a lot to me! I think everyone should grind the fundamentals regardless of skill level. Updates! Study of tilted horizons and tilted views and anatomy.

Thanks Valence! I'm now adding muscles to the figure and I'm finding it very hard to get the gesture and balance correct. Maybe I just need more practice.

Update on my engine room! This is really pushing my perspective skills to the max! Tons of measuring, scaling, depth, multiplying draw thru, etc.
