moleskine pages bump

[monotony]

wow you're showing great improvement recently, man!
those new moleskine pages look superconfident.
and I really like the underwater painting. It looks a bit too light to convey that underwaterfeel I'd say but the design is cool and I like it nonetheless!
looking forward to more.

[xinranliu]

monotony: oo okay thanks

clusterfuck of messy lines scanned and shopped
hooray

[xinranliu]

still life from life?

[P]

Really really nice paints, and I like moleskine stuff too. And todays still-life rocks
I gave you 4 stars for now, cuz I saw theres none. Keep it up

[Troubadour]

Ronald! thanks for stopping by my Sb

keep working on your anatomy! your still lifes are quite beautiful though, you capture light very well and your color theory can only get better and better. On your anatomy im seeing some proportion problems which is generally what i do too, your doing a great upper body but your legs are coming on short. You've got a lot of years on your side to get better, i wish i was where you are when i was 16

[HAJiME]

Your sketchbook doodles are fantastic, but WOW at the paintings! Beautiful sketchbook!
