-anatomy
-silhouettes
-design
-light

project took about 10-12 hours within 2 days.
any other Critiques are Also Welcomed!
Character : Gladiator
Personality : Fierce/Blood thirsty
weapon : Sword/Knifes
Clothing : Armor (Mild Amount)
Gesture Drawing: I used a variety of Images for poses. The First two poses from the left are my Own from imagination(they are not accurate in proportions) I used reference to draw the other images to have correct proportions from reference(not tracing).
Silhouettes: I filled in the Gestures with black for the silhouettes, From there I used a brush to fill in ideas for armor and Weapons, Thinking of different armor ideas.
Idea Refining: Thinking more in depth of the shapes which make the character.
Value of Light: choosing the best colour value for character.
Light: Imaging where the light would hit off on the character.
Coloring/Painting : Quick final Paint of character with colours.
