My armour studies and building a visual library

The idea of these  pieces is to draw armor using some reference and then take the reference away and redrawing the armour to see how much you can remember, this is great for building your visual library when it comes to drawing armour, something I struggle a lot with and still have a long long way to go with! This means that you should eventually be able to draw some bad ass armour off the top of your head with no reference :P

I got this idea from Alex Negrea, he is currently my favourite digital artist, his skills are incredible and he is very dedicated to his art, I definitely recommend checking out his work! :)

So these drawings are a little bit.. rough, because the idea is not to spend too much time making it neat and rendering it well, it's to build your visual library, anyway I have done a few pages of these which I will post below. I also recorded a video for one page of them just so you can see the process, thanks for watching :)
