You're tackling a difficult thing, highly reflective material from sideview... I think it would be better if you consider the light comes from a little from the side as well, not 100% in front of him. As it is there's a problem with the reflection it gives wrong volume.

Really meteor, I had many problems to do the lighting, thanks for the tip, I also wanted to say I'm a little frustrated, I want to work as concept artist not as an illustrator. I'm not able to make concepts quickly i take much time to do drawings, but it's not because I have problems with proportion or anatomy but because I lose a lot of time thinking about all the details. delays all my work, I know this is a matter of training, but it frustrates me a lot ! :cry:

I have many good ideas, I just have trouble putting them into action, quickly and dynamically. If anyone has any tips for me, please do not please feel free to tell me. :17:

I came here to say that my tablet broke, but I'm almost done to save money to buy a Intuos 4 PTK-440 small. Things here are very expensive in Brazil causes of the high taxes levied on that type of product. But I can not stay all that time doing nothing, right? I'll challenge myself to do a page of drawings per day until I buy the tablet and post here. So that's it. See you later :20:

Concerning your issue with putting down your concepts quickly, I won't hide you that it's a matter of practice. The more you paint, the quicker you'll become. It is also a matter of amount of knowledge you have of what you paint. For instance, I can say you've never painted a highly reflective surface before (or if you have, you have painted very few of them). Practicing with studies will help you build a mental image library which you will use when painting from imagination.

And for your tablet I'm sorry to hear that, but go for the pencil and paper, that's the spirit!

My bad for not doing anything yesterday, but because it was my birthday. I did some sketches at night. They were not very good, and I had to fix the contrast in Photoshop because my scanner is crap. Oh, I did not finish last, and left an unfinished pose sketch
