Soldier Character Concept: Tonal Speed Sketch

This quick half hour sketch lays out the values i will use for the finished piece. As hes in a desert environment, the background and sky is obviously very bright, and he ofcourse will draw contrast against that. The purpose of this is just to put some of the thoughts and images in my head down on screen to make the process a little easier, as this will be the first project ive attempted with the pen tablet/digital software.

The tonal values in this piece will hopefully help convey a sombre mood, which will match the story behind this character.

Keep eyes pealed for more sketches/the final piece !!
