You´re welcome to kick my butt...(little update)

[ghoulio]

Hey guys and girls,

Another newbie here to absorb the knowledge...
First of all I´m really glad to find CA, never seen so much talent and such great amount of art.
I´m drawing since a child, I didn´t do any artschool but I would love to make murals as a job one day, professionaly that is...

I´ll start off with some old sketches and then update soon as I can...not like a lot of you, cause I got 2 kids running around here

Enough talking here are my picz, crits and comments are very welcome...don´t spare me a bit...

llllllaterrrrr...

Thanks for helping...

Hey man awesome start to your sb!
I really think you have an awesome 'flow' to your originals stuff!

Looks like you are honing your digital painting chops as well. Kudos.

I found the very last post visually pleasing as well as ironic cause I am currently doing lots of bug studies and happened to draw a firefly just last night.

Oh and the red frog render is my fave of those studies so far! Keep it up and Ill keep checking back..

Cheers!
S!R

[ghoulio]

S!R: Thanks for checking up on me, yes I´m really trying to draw more, but its hard with two kids and also looking for more work...yep...busy days haha.

Just keep checking, it will come...

Laterrrr

I like your renderings and attention to detail. I see you've already begun to do this but try to take what you are learning from rendering and apply it to your own unique character designs.

My sketchbook is here

[ghoulio]

softocean: I know what you mean...this is just practice and maybe I going to much in it...but I gotta go back to anatomy and lightning some more to give my designs the look that I had in mind...so back to my sketch paper Got a lot to do,haha...

Thanks for your attention, see ya

[angrykid]

last one with the insect.

Well...my first anatomy studies, refs from posermaniac. And a little fun...
I know I made the lines to thick...sorry...was to late to stop myself, haha.

[monotony]

hey, looking good so far.
your pencil control and shading is really well done
now just keep doing your anatomy studies and you'll see improvement in no time.
oh and stop using lined paper thats kinda destroying the feel of good sketches.
I'll be back to check on you

hey man, your creatures are great, I learned something from you: draw from refs.
it seems to be a great way for practice, although we all here about this here and there but see somebody is doing' it made me to give it a try, thanks for visit my sketch book.
