Do you know any helpful exercises or tutorials for practicing values and lighting? I really want to improve on these things this year.
[personal profile] amberdreams already gave me the tip of using monochrome versions of my references to better see the values. Do you know of anything else?

I want to portray more people of colour this year (next project is Michael Burnham from ST Discovery) and wanted to ask if anyone can share either their own experiences with specific art pieces ([personal profile] mific?) or tutorials.

The tutorials I found so far were for white skin tones only, like this one: How to mix realistic flesh colors.

This is the art I mentioned in a previous comment that I am struggling with, particularly the character wearing the red shirt. I'm mostly okay with the one in blue, but I know he could be improved as well.

The one in the red shirt though . . . he looks like a doll or something. Part of the problem is that the character himself (Wayne from Letterkenny) is pretty stiff. I mean, his nickname is "Shirtucker". He never untucks his shirt or unbuttons his cuffs (unless he's about to get in a fight). He barely even smiles. The actor tends to play him as moving his whole body when other people would do something else. Wayne is whatever the opposite of languid would be.

Anyway, I went overboard with the stiffness. I used a reference photo, but I had to move the arm.
