Thank you, I really have some trouble with mouths, hands and feet and I really have to stop running away form them :P

Other than that, most of the time I feel afraid of taking too heavy on the shadows (I know that's not a good excuse, but it's true)
I'll try to focus my next pieces on these little troublemakers for me.

On this piece I've learned a lot about separating background from foreground and setting a focus on the image. Still, I have much to learn.

Oh god, I just can't leave this as finished right now hahaha, but I promise I won't be trying to add anything new. I'll just... fix... things

So.. long time since the last edit.

I've desaturated the books a little, and made some statues to make the background a little less boring.
worked a little on the interaction of the character with the book in front of him

For now I'll take this as finished, It's time to move on I guess.
Thank you all for the help, it sure made a big difference and I learned a lot ;)

The concept I was trying to take on is a young (17-20 years old) warlock (taking warlock for a magic user that focus his studies on demons and dark spells) studying, that said, I was trying to take the idea with a lighter mood. Imagine him as a real and normal college guy (like me hehe), he is not even sure if this is what he wants to do for his life. The library itself is some kind of giant library of a magic school (supporting every type of magic user, that's why I didn't wanted to give it a darker mood).

That said, really liked your opinion, will work on the farthest bookshelves (really liked the window idea) and on the interaction of the character with the scene, since the focus is definitely the character

The light source would be a big fire-coloured crystal working as a chandelier on the center of the ceiling (something the higher mages worked on to supply the library with light. ^^)

Thanks ;)

It's excelent that you've raised that point,

At first I was thinking of making he magicaly (with some indication like his horns glowing) turn the page after reading for a while (this is part of a series of thoughts that I have about how magic users would make their lifes easier with simple tricks  :P). but I'm kinda giving up on animating this. Since then, I was thinking on working on some better interaction of the character with the scene. Surely will try that hehe

Thank you all for the constructive comments ^^

*broke the symmetry on the books
*desaturated the distant shelves a little more to divide the picture in 3 planes(table, bookshelves, distant bookshelves)
*made some more interesting books (including a massive book that needs a reinforced shelf)
*decorated the books shelves a little
*made the character less chubby

learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn...

Thanks fro the advice! ^^

Another edit,
*tried desaturating the background, I liked it, but don't know if can get better( never tried that before)
*separated the two middle bookshelves a little
*added some books on top of the table
*tried some backlight on the character (tell me if it is unnecessary, actually done very little backlight on other works)
*tried some dithering on the darkest places (promise this is the last time I'll say that I didn't tried something before  :P)

I'm really enjoying this process. I'm actually trying a lot of things I've didn't tried before (and I'm really liking the results ^^)

*redid the shading on the hair
*did some minor shading on the shelves
*added some light on the table
*added some background
*more books
*removed that ugly crystal for now

still can't figure out how to make better books, does anyone know a way to make them fit better on the image?

Hi I'm working on piece for personal training and I could really use some feedback :D

Here it goes:


the setting is a library where the young horned boy is doing some reading, on the center of the ceiling is a flame-coloured crystal that is the source of light

things I still plan to do:
-fill the last bookshelves (and the bottom row of the second)
-remove the symmetry from the books on the bookshelves
-add shading on the hair
-add shading no the shelves
-add a background after the bookshelves
*maybe i'll do some subtle animation

The most frustrating thing by now is that the books doesn't look like books to me hehe :crazy:
