First post, First Sketchbook

[beany911]

Hey peeps, this is my first post and my first sketchbook. Hopefully I can get some meaningful feedback. Be as harsh as you wanna be, just keep in mind some of these sketches are purposely "distorted", or whatever you wanna call it.
These are sketches and copy drawings from the last 2 weeks. Some of these are done fast, some are just "artistic scribbles". Looking at some of these drawings, I had no idea what I was thinking when I did them. The photo quality ain't that good, hopefully i'll get a decent scanner soon.

welcome :) you really got urself a special style and you have a good technique with charcoal, very nice renderings. i hope to see more m8.

[beany911]

thx i appreciate the compliments, everything on here is graphite though. Any sort of critique is welcome.

[beany911]

lol i just realized how many bald dudes i've drawn. It'd be nice to get some responses or something >_>

[beany911]

Did this skull a couple days ago, forgot to put it in the first post >_>

very nice stuff going on here :), I like the image of the hands twisting down the spiral, you rendering is really good aswell. copying images is good but make sure you draw from life a lot as well, it helps : ) and keep drawing!

Great work, love you style.

[beany911]

Thx for the feedback guys :), JoeS actually only 3 of drawings are copies, everything else is from my head, accept for the last skull which is from life.
I agree tho I need to study from life more.

This is an old drawing i did when i first started seriously drawing, I copied it from a still from one of the Ghost in the Shell movies. Not bad considering I had no idea what i was doing when I drew it.

great work! Those are some pretty neat figure and portrait studies :) I especially like the 7th sketch in the 1st post.
+ Merry Christmas!

Ah :D Good luck in your studies.

I like your studies. The circling hand looks interesting and kinda hypnotic. I also like your still from GiTS (is it Innocence?)

Your human drawing style seems caricature-ish, which is quite unique by itself. Keep drawing!

[beany911]

Thx guys!
- Clairevoyante. Thx that's one of my personal favs, merry Christmas to you too!

- Trefle yea, the spiral hand thingy came out of nowhere not sure how I came up with that or what the picture even means. And the GitS still Is from Innocence I think. Not sure where I get my style for drawing ppl, I guess I just draw what I think would look Interesting.

- tatfreak thx I felt like I messed him up somehow but thx anyways :)

I'll probably be posting some anatomy/structure type stuff soon, since everyone else seems to be doing that. Appreciate the comments guys.

[beany911]

Some anatomy, not much of an update... I will be posting more soon. I did some close ups for clarity. I'm happy with the torso, because i'm not really good at bodies. Maybe I could get some sorta crits... from someone.

[beany911]

Here's some structural drawings, alot of noses and facial structure stuff. I'm trying to get a sense of the planes, so these drawings aren't anything special but I figured since alot of ppl post stuff like this I'd post it anyway.
