!!!!::::::IMPROTANT::::::!!!!!
Id love to know what you think of all the things in my sketchbook. so please dont be shy. what would you do different and so on

[Monkeydominator]

Aaaaaah, sketches sketches sketches sketches! Oh my dear lord I love sketches so much.

Love the playfulness of it. Colours and lines and expressions and everything. Great inspiration! Some of the bodies from imagination seem a little stiff, though that might just be me.

Keep at it! Upload mooooooore! This isn't nearly enough to feed us, precious!

[Qikalain]

I really love to look into other peoples sketchbooks and i love every single details, the colors and the playfullness in it! i wish i could say somethimg more.. maybe you could praticse at your linework a bit and dont make those short edgy lines and more long and dynamic ones! , but well im a noob so i dont know^^

[sarbro]

so many sketches...are you some kind of a machine?
THe last one is quite interesting, looking forward for the progress of it

[Porg]

You're definetly improving but then I only looked at the first page and then a few inbetween and then the last two.

You've got a nice way to work with colours although sometimes pieces look a bit unfinished. I know it's just a sketchbook but it would be nice to see some of your finished pieces. Ah, maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.

Your drawings are really nice with a lot of variety and experimentation. I'm trying to get my head round colour at the moment and so am reading through this. It's helped me a bit on understanding how at least light and shade work. Hopefully it'll help you too.

[Mr. Smile]

Oh my god, I absolutely adore your sketchbooks. Especially those that you colored, sometimes really trippy stuff! You should really think about doing full scale classical pieces, styled like this. Or perhaps you already do?
Great stuff!

[DStraX]

[eparts]

cool to see you're doing a daily painting. I'll can consider this as my Christmas calendar then keep em coming!

[sarbro]

wish you sucess with your daily paintings

[Morgado]

Nice studies in your physical SB! In the faces, you seem to be eager to put features in, I believe you should try not to so hard. Suggest, don't show! Atleast at that scale

Also try using bigger brushes for your digi paints.

Keep it up, you're doing great

[Jofx]

keepitup

[DStraX]

Monkeydominator nope, there stuff alright...

Qikalain thanks. thats true and your right. I need to work on my lines.

Porg thanks you know your right, i REALY need to push my paintings til there finished more.

Mr. Smile havent realy tryed painting this way with real paint. I guess some of my sketchbook pages have that acid feel. never did acid so I wouldent know :/

eparts hehe. Ill have to do my best. think of it as my gift to you

sarbro thanks. Ill do it!

Morgado yea, i try to avoid that. But i tend to overwork the faces.. so everybody looks like old people

working on my exam assignment

[Jofx]

awesome

[SMILEFACE]

HAHA THANKS FER CRAZY GLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MaDD UPS !!!! ARE YOU IMPROVING DAMN YEAH!

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

I think there are a few good pointers you could look into using when you are working. I know you love working quickly, and so you tend to move your hand in quick, indicisive strokes, resulting in a mass of marks, only a fraction of which are necessary for your painting. You also tend to avoid using reference and so you tend to sort of revolve into the same shapes and design logics, not really going anywhere.

The second piece in your last batch was pretty good, but I suspect it would be a lot better if you looked into some more crisp rendering of the shapes, making a point to watch your borders.

Also, instead of using the transparency of your strokes to blend colours, you should try and activly find middle tones by picking the out of the colour picker, the using a soft brush or a finely textured brush to make transfers.

There, now you got something to work on^^
