Mchammer's sketchbook-Crits welcome! UPDATE 6-30

[mchammer75040]

Hello everyone this is my first post here at CA, and I'm really looking forward to hearing some comments of all the badass artists here! I really need help so spare me no pain, let me know what you think! Some of these are still a work in progress, and I forgot to touch these up in PS but bear with me I'll have more updates soon without all the creases, smears,..etc.









(a fellah copy/study):






Thanks for checkin me out!

Hey McHam, welcome to ca.org. Its always nice to see new talent around here, and from what i can see your off to a very solid start. I think your spot on with the proportions in your figure work and you have some really juicy line weight going on there, kudos. I think with a bit of work on getting a good tonal range with the pencils and pushing some of the key areas of your drawings your gonna be one of the pros around here pretty soon ;-) Keep up the good work man, and keep posting ;-)

Wow thanks man! Coming from a badass artist like you means alot! Looking at your book is very motivating!
Update:

On this I havent finished the face or hands...mostly cause its driving me insane with how ugly his face always comes out:

Well I've been a way for awhile so here is a recent update of some gestures and facial studies. Some of the paper is not of the best quality so I apologize...more to come soon.

life studies:




Gesture studies from slo-mo videos and posemaniacs (average 15 to 30 secs.):

























Memory/imagination:








This was something I did loosely based on a gnomon video I was watching:
