Board Thread:Critique and Advice/@comment-30488984-20180608003854

Hello all,

So after taking a few hours to practice and mimic certain art styles, I have finally come out with a World Eater "prototype". It is heavily based around the World Eater Legionary Image from the 40k Wiki. It is my first attempt to sketch and then paint. I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to shade and on how to make paints look more metalic. As you can see, I tried shading with different paint colors but I'm not satisfied with the outcome, though for my first sketch I think this is not too shaby.

Now that Algrim is gone, along with all this photoshop images, I figured I need to get on with making art for my articles. I was hoping to get feed back on the image and advice for future projects of mine. I am going to focus on mastering Astartes in this standard pose first before trying to do anything with weapons or dynamic/battle scenes.

I am using Autodesk Sketchbook and a Wacom Tablet and Pen.
