Hi all...honored to be able to post here....amongst the greats.

Here are my recent work. The girl is a rework from a ref i started 3 years ago...

The Thunderbirds ship is for Cgtalk Daily Sketch Forum.

An anatomy lesson with the all-free workshop with Rebecca Kimmel a couple of years back. She was soo supportive.

(man this is going to sound odd) - those are some gorgeous torsos!

You're pretty great yourself! Maybe you are one of the greats you say you're amongst! ;P I really like your stuff, and the torso workshop looks like it paid off!

Keep on drawin'!

Thank you for the warm welcome guys....Thanks for viewing.

Here's a 2.5 hours Nefertiti for CGtalk Daily Sketch Forum....

this anatomy studie animation is very cool! i'll have to try that soon, too!

and i like the nefertiti piece, too. very shiney! but the neck is much too long and undefined...

**Nazirull** · August 5th, 2008, 04:17 PM

Thanks katinki....i know the neck is very long but im neglecting the likeness factor ...just wanna polishe up my strokes and color skills...especially with custom brushes...

Heres another one inspired by Leon....from the movie screenies..

**Radio24** · August 5th, 2008, 04:25 PM

you've got an awesome sketchbook start here. I really dig it.
Is Nefertiti done all in PS?
I also have to brush up my stroke/brush skills, looks like a good excercise
keep it comin

**Nazirull** · August 5th, 2008, 10:58 PM

Thanks Radio24...yup...all of the Nefertiti in PS CS2. I think ive over-unsharp mask the face area...hmmm..

I utilised Matthias Verhasselt custon PS brushes...those are excellent. But i gotta run through few tuts to finally get hold of how to use them correctly. The tuts are from ImagineFX recent issues...

p/s : Abt the piece above, I think the hesitance is still there in my strokes...u can see that. I refered to movie screen capture and use grids for easy refs. And I do feel a little bit constrained with the grid restriction....Its like plotting, rather than being natural with ur hand-eye coordination, which is wut i supposed to do...
Plus, my brush and color selection thru out the stages of the painting is still all over the place. I think im giving it a second try.

**Nazirull** · August 25th, 2008, 02:06 AM

Here's a few more recent ones...

Nice stuff I like it.

**danlambert** · December 31st, 2008, 08:36 AM

This stuff is awesome, your proportions look perfect pretty much every-time, very jealous. I also really like the sketchiness in those clothing studies
