Awesome anatomy studies man. Like how you are going into different muscle groups . Your lines are improving a lot. I like the paintings. The color schemes are interesting, I especially like Touching the truth one. It has a god composition. The colors are working well together. I think the hands of the man could be worked on .

The zbrush sculpt has come out awesome. Great anatomy and proportions on it. Do moar sculpting!

Keep them coming man. good luck.

Thanks for the comment Sin eater. I have rework the whole painting - I mean Touching the truth. Started it month ago and then stopped and started again. It is an old one basically.
Here is another quick study:

very fluid lines and quick sketches thats good to see, id love to see one or two when you get more inclined with the details and speacially the shading, alot of gesture and motion keep this up, but also try to cramm more structure and information in there, some of the energy will get lost with all of those details but the drawing will be tremendously stronger and if you fuck up no worries you are still going to do 10,000,000

MORE MORE MORE MORE ;D!

Thanks LionheartGFX.You are right. I have to do more finished drawing. Here is another study from today. At the end I noticed that my darks are not so dark, but decided not to fix it... Next time...

Great pencils, there's a nice flow in these animal drawings.

I'd love to see you doing some digital still lifes, they're great practice for rendering and getting into values and a better contrast.

**vlad74** · January 3rd, 2013, 05:41 PM

Thanks LastGen. I am pushing the digital part

. Will do some still lifes as well. Than for the comment.

Hi mate! Thanks for coming back see my SB.

Your last environment has a good personality in brush strokes and I think, for my low experience, that this drawing don't need anything more for now... maybe when you improve in your technics in photoshop you can focus more on light and shadow effects.
Keep going mate!

**vlad74** · January 15th, 2013, 07:05 PM

Thanks Lucarky. I painted it in Painter. I have to improve my skill in all directions

Thanks for the advice

**Revidescent** · January 26th, 2013, 06:07 PM

Nice style! I like your brushwork a lot. Aim for some more contrast, though, both in terms of value and saturation - your paintings are very midrange, so they're missing that kick. Nice planes, though, I especially like the elephant.
