    Hey dude, I think you could use to keep up with the studies.. your sense of style and colour are pretty good, and once you start to get the structure right underneath everything you will improve leaps and bounds. Keep on truckin!

    Hey man, i took a quick look to your book. You have plenty of stuff going on, that's great. I saw your studying loomis, that's something you should keep at it, definitely. Learn the planes, and how to use the basic shapes to construct your forms and figures, so you'll find more easy to resolve the different angles and positions of the head, like the one above.

    About the anatomy books, i guess loomis is great for proportions, anatomy, basic shapes, but you can complement it with gottfried bammes which i guess is way more complex than loomis, paul richer for anatomy plates or maybe Burne Hogarth. You should give it a try and see what you can learn.
    from what you have in your hands.

    Absolutely great stuff here Demo! So much different stuff. Good life studies and drawings from your mind. Your pencil rendering skills is your strong point. So now get to work on those weak areas and do more anatomy and life drawing.

    The fur in ur last painting is way to hard-edged!!

    I know that when u look at a cat for instance u see billions of little hard edged hairs but as an artist u've got to bow down to nature and try to synthesize what u see to make it recognizable to the viewer as best as u can!

    Try to paint fur from life or photo and im sure ull learn alot.
    Also, looking at how other artists u like do it, is a very good thing.
    For instance look at how D.Sillustration rendered that teddy bear.


    The paintings from imagination are the result of creativity having fun with the different "files" u have in ur visual library.
    Obviously if ur library is empty, then painting from imagination will hardly be succesful for u.

    alright demo here it is. first of all, good effort. i forget who said it but it goes something like this, in your life as an artist you'll probably have a thousand bad pieces but the key to becoming a great artist depends on you getting those pieces out of your system. i have lived by this over the past couple of years. esentially it comes to practice, practice like you there's no tomorrow. all this stuff will snap into place and one day you'll be like "damn, i have grown so much as an artist".

    as for a crit, lots of your stuff has potential, but lacks experience and technical ability =more studies and more drawing. when you do studies *don't stop looking at what you drawing*. you can see it the easiest in the painting you did of that girl in the photo. i can see where you weren't looking and where you were. painting in gray scale might help to, it's pretty hard to be focusing on ten things like painting color composition etc etc at once so why not minimize it. and also do some master studies they will help so much with colors. now to leave on a good note, the car study you did is great. lighting is good and the minimalist rendering is very accomplished. gj. later, and i hope this helps.

    It would be foolish to restate what has already been said...so...just keep pushing...things are already looking better...I like the colors that you chose for the graphic work in#35...and the two acrylics are looking good..keep it up

    your work shows A LOT of promise. i can tell you like digging in and working on details. thats always a good thing. however, you need to work more on developing good forms, some of them look awkward. a good way to go: general to particular. in other words, basic forms to super details...without to within.

    the best practice is drawing from life. just keep drawing.

    rock on dude!

    awesome rendering skills with the pencil. You're not afraid to go dark, which is a great thing. :]
    I like that painting of the flowers on the first page, tells me that you have a good eye for color and know how to paint [well!]
    I suggest to keep those anatomy studies up, you're doing great.

    Well I think it depends on which one you would like us to focus on, I would have made the girl darker in your case

    Nice going! definetly improving!

    Awesome anatomy studies! I've learned quite a lot from them myself.
    I don't really have anything to crit except maybe that you should use some harder transitions on your digital faces here and there, the volume isn't quite defined sometimes, especially when it's all blurry.

    hey demo, really good sketches and postes youve got here.
    the paintings remind me just a little like van goh, with the visible brush strokes, keep it up.
    the digital stuff is great, it seems like your just now getting familiar with it, pretty soon, youll be fooling everyones eyes. art just an illusion.
    best of luck l0stinth0ughts
