Insane still life man, seriously coolio. Nice skele rider too!

**Jamie Romoser** · June 4th, 2011, 01:14 PM

hala-Thanks alot for the feed back hala

yeah really do like to try and capture movement but it's tough. That piece was pretty time consuming.

Lyno-Hey Lyno doing well man. Trying to balance everything out in life right now social life and just future stuff. Your right about the hands though they need some more love.

[ste]- Thanks nice updates in your sketchbook aswell ste

Tides-Thanks man drew the armor to be honest cause I was lazy on doing more of a functional character.

AlexTooth-Thanks Alex yeah that still life was really interesting natural light is neat.

Time to get back on the grind wanna get back into posting more.
It's been a really long time since some real sketchbook stuffs been posted. Been getting into this drawing in straight ball point pen phase for my studies.
Kinda makes you think about what your gonna do before you do it more.

Still life was watching into the wild to so wrote some quote down.

Nice! I love the hands.

**Vodus** · June 4th, 2011, 02:14 PM

Beautiful update man, i love the lines! would love to see more

**NailBiterMR** · June 4th, 2011, 02:30 PM

wow these are beautiful. I love those hands SO much. Would you say using the ball point pen brought your line quality up to where it is now?

anyways , keep up the good work!

**FlaviusChis** · June 5th, 2011, 06:45 PM

Jamie, your ball point pen studies are pure awesomeness!
Is the ink of the pen erasable?

For the Bridgeman hand studies did you go through a rough stage or you just went straight in? If so, you re very fluid & clean with lines!! Splendid.

Hope you re doing good in Mexico!

Keep improving!

All the best! love ya

Flavius

it's only going to make you even better~ i'm glad you're posting again!

**Ariel9** · June 12th, 2011, 08:15 PM

**GweNdZ** · July 7th, 2011, 06:23 AM

Nice work on the Frazetta study

keep it up

**Jamie Romoser** · October 26th, 2011, 01:49 PM

Thanks everyone for dropping by and stating your mind pretty ecouraging

NailBiterMR- I would say for line quality it's just been about practice but I think it does help because you have to think more about the lines your going to put down.

Started a fresh sketchbook for just my own work and this ones gonna be for my sketches and studies

Bridgeman today. thinking of starting from page 1 and studying the whole thing again.
so many messy lines

for some reason I rush a lot more on my line drawing digitally then traditionally.
Gotta slow down less drawing more thinking.

Gosh, I love the maquette - and your camera picks up wonderful nuances of light, that must be great for reference.

Haven't been here in a while but I see your time has been well spent! Good job.

**Jamie Romoser** · December 17th, 2011, 02:45 PM

Ariel9-aw why thanks Ariel good to see you still around.
but yeah I've been kinda messing around with sculpting want to pick up on a lot of clay and do a epic full figure.
I actually used that maquette to get kinda a feel for the light in my last commission illustration.
Hope all is going well Milan!

sweet lines man and the maquette looks awesome

**Jamie Romoser** · December 18th, 2011, 02:48 PM

fudgeloaf- thanks for stopping by man

here are some loomis proportion studies. I'm more fond of Bridgeman but in Bridgemans books he didn't really go in depth about proportion like loomis does. I honestly struggled through this study hate drawing people in stiff boring poses. But overall was interesting learned some new stuff I think.
