notes and improvements from finished stuff:

practice expression sketches from photos✓(by mistake), do Proko ribcage lesson✗, draw and detail with linework everyday objects [kinda]

c/anas: bad hands, flat face, like the shapes in his cloak though

l/inhardt: one hand is bigger than the other, lost lower body gesture from sketch, bells aren't foreshortened enough (look stretched vertically), presents/pillow bag look 2d, left upper arm looks flat because the sleeve creases don't fall over it, unclear arm gesture/silhouette w/ yawning (didn't want to cover his face as I was trying to do an 'official art' type thing, but couldn't figure out how to make it look right otherwise), tried to do two different levels of detail for the fur on the top and bottom of the cape to guide the eye to his face but it just looks like two different materials, I do like the overall lineart and simple shading though

h/ux: visible teeth look too small for mouth, highlights on leather glove look very smooth and plasticky, could have exaggerated expression even more

v/alter: his left leg too short, hands drawn like an even-thickness box, no story behind image, looks like he's collapsed instead of looking confident lol, I'm quite pleased with how the armour in perspective + high-contrast shading/colour variation came out though

k/aidan: way too many brushstrokes, not 100% sure lighting setup would light these planes (esp. on far side of face) but that's forgivable since it's definitely above my level, not much to say about this

k/arel: eyes too far apart, ear rotated weirdly, awkward sword placement, do like the abstract branch motif merging with hair/coat though (and overall composition)

v/alter: fingers too long oops, ear possibly also rotated weirdly?, mouth curvature isn't as much as it should be if you're looking up at him (but I think this works stylistically), happy with the small subtleties in his expression though

ACTIONABLES: practice expression sketches + ear placement from photos, do Proko ribcage lesson, keep trying to put more effort into hands, check distance between eyes after sketching

#end of month
