[Lang Oulk]

So close to 100 pages! Woo! I'm really loving that skeleton dude, his pose is really nice but the overall design is just badass, i'd like to see it go further and with the design, but thats up to you man. Cheers!

[Rotor]

Hey mate, how's it been?
So you've managed to fill your sketchbook with close to 100 pages. And every page has something worthwile to look at with excellent studies and tutorials. You rock man.

[DefiledVisions]

Your studies are damn interesting. Are there any books you recomend?

*edit* I would like to add on that question, are there any books you read at the moment that help you with making these observations or are they your own?

[Yor]

sweet studies man, loving the robot dude

[kingkostas]

mitchoo-THank u very much mate , i will try to keep it up
Partisan-THank u very much man !!! lets keep fighting
forestdino-Thankkk u !!! i am glad
zou-Yo mate!!!Thnx, i agree, i was gonna stop it to the pre-final but anyway i will have to ask the subconscious
ThomasM-Thank u mate!!!Yeeee now we are at 100 pages
Verehin-THnx mate!!!really love your stuff
teapo-Thank u very much mate !!!i will try to do more pencil stuff soon.
Seraph Fawkes-Thank u very much kirill !!!
Lang Oulk-hehe mate you raised my book to the 100th page , thnx!!!! Well that was a quick, dunno if i am gonna do anything with it but thnx
Rotor-Yo mate!!everything fine both with the hard things and the good things .Yep now i have to make it 200 heheheh THank u
DefiledVisions-Hello mate !!!I am really glad you are finding them interesting. I am actually making something like a book with techniques and mostly research, but i am not sure when its gonna be finished and its gonna be focusing more in design and composition and some technical stuff rather than anatomy, since there are a lot of books covering that.
So, these researches are mostly coming from experiments and observations i am making but i cant say that i dont have any sources for inspiration and knowledge. For example i do a lot of research and observations using the RGB sliders (i am doing some things as if i was doing traditional media mixing and stuff) but i started this only when i read the tutorial by LINRAN about how the sliders work etc. Other than that i can say that a big inspiration and source of knowledge for me comes from Loomis books. The research and observations about textures are the most original i think, and i still have a way to go with these
What exactly do you need? Good anatomy books? i think we all know the classics. Maybe you dont know FORCE(character design from life drawing, Michael D Mattesi), thats a good book. Thnx for your interest
Yor-Thank u very much mate , glad u like it

Ok here somethings.
Thnx really much for supporting!!!Lets all keep up!!!

[Kungfoowiz]

Thank you for tutorial Kostas! =) I used to have the same lamp as you have in your still life =) Diggin the shade on those muscles =) Keep up the guud work bro =)

[Yor]

i agree with kungfoowiz here by saying that that's one nicely rendered torso!
smexxy!

[Teundeboer]

congrats on 100 pages! It's funny that Kungfoowiz and Yor already mentioned it, because the exquisite rendering of the chest is one of the first things that really caught my eye. And even got my thinking: "Wow, now that's suggesting form..."
The back of the head seems a little off tho

[Deadlyhazard]

I've seen a lot of helpful information you've given in other threads, just want to thank you for that -- as I've learned from some of them. Gorgeous works, most certainly a 5-star SB!

[Biomecha_wolf]
