Dude, you're awesome. Way better than I was last year . I like the green and purple bear it's my fav. I'd like to see some sketches with more value. I'll keep looking here. Keep posting.

I have friends from Hamburg.

and a little step.all tips welcome

[slyx]

and some colour studys

[slyx]

and more practice. I tried to use the eyedropper (is that the right word?) as less as possible.

[slyx]

im so lazy at the moment

the joker is done with a reference... watercolour pencil and fine liner

[SamC]

That joker is surprisingly alike for no reference, and the detail on the character so far is cool! Try using darker darks for more contrast! Keep it up man

[slyx]

its done WITH a reference^^ but thanks anyway for your comment

two life drawings

[Kan Muftić]

Good start! But I would recomend mostly life drawings and landscape studies so that all those cool things look really solid afterwards.

Khan

[slyx]

thanks khan i will keep that in mind

here is a life drawing and a friendly guy from my imagination

[Katzenminze]

hi!
the fist monkey-thing really saved my day, thanks

[slyx]

hehe its a pleasure for me to save your day

my real sketchbook is going to be full

[Black Spot]

Your drawing from life show vigour as do a couple of your more imaginative pieces, but you need to work on your environments. Try doing some of those from life and check the difference.

[slyx]

im going to work on them

I got a kind of drawing frenzy today xD

[slyx]

I did this with twitchfingers ink brushes. I think they're awesome

[slyx]

this is my process of Frederick Leighton's "Biondina" so far.

[slyx]

some doodles and a little lifedrawing

[chuck18mp]

Like it! Your dudes are cool!

[Black Spot]

The paintbox is very good. One thing I noticed is that you outline your still lives quite darkly when drawing with a pencil, if your going to shade it, you don't need to. Like the Leighton study.

[slyx]

thank you guys

here is a selfportrait wich looks not like me and some poses from posemaniac

[Bill]

You are getting some really good things to happen in spots, especially with the pencil. Your Blue and Purple character has a really great feel to it. Keep pushing and yes: Draw from Life. You are getting the start to some good skills, keep pushing man.

[slyx]

thanks Bill, at the moment i love to draw from imagination but i try to keep it in balance with the lifedrawings and so

here is a lifepainting from my desk but it really bored me so i wont finish it and it was hard to get the right colours...
and another doodlepage wich was fun (the guy on the right side isn't me^^)

[slyx]

drawing myself in front of the mirror is so damn hard... I think i should try it with a photo

[Mumph]

Funny charachters and nice speedpaints! Keep on doing those studies.
I´m not sure if you are doing this, but try doing construction lines very lightly when for example drawing a face. It will help getting the proportions right.

Keep it up man!

[Lateman]

like that! keep it up!

cheers lateman
