Getting over my CAorgophobia (New updates! 04-24-10)

**Socks** · October 4th, 2008, 02:52 AM

Hello, world!

This is my first-ish post. I've finally convinced myself to post my sketchbook up on CA.org after around a year and a half of lurking. I hope you guys can take the time critique my work, I'll try to return the favor, though my knowledge is still rather limited in the technical field.

Anyway, as for introductions-
I'm 16 years old (17 this April). I'm from the Philippines and I'm a freshman in college. I only started taking art a little bit more seriously when I first discovered CA, which was roughly a year and a half ago (Maybe two? I don't remember). Before that I've been more acquainted with "Anime-style" drawing and I think you can see a lot of that in my art today.

Sooooo, yes. That's it. o: I hope you guys enjoy and I'd really appreciate it if you guys could take the time to give me a few tips now and then.

UPDATE: APRIL 24, 2010

HELLO WORLD I'M BACK. It's been more than a year and I'm getting ready to turn legal, whuzzup. Since then I've moved to the art school of my dreams (Within the Philippines, at least) and I am FILLLLED with this crazy ass desire to improve.

Since I'm enjoying my summer break, let me update this sketchbook.

C'mon, CA, hit me up with some of your harsh critiques!

Here are some sketchy things to start things off. It's kinda too bad I can't put captions on these things. D:

1 - This one is a sketch I did after my friend told me to draw him a tribal guy. It was in the middle of class so I kinda started going crazy with it. Turned out nothing like a tribal guy, but I like it anyways. :)

2 - I finally took up his request for a tribal guy. Inked it with a tech pen. Still kind of getting the hang of that. Anatomy is clearly not reffed. Sadly, there aren't any sexy shirtless men roaming around my school :p

A bit more!

1 - A bit unhappy with how this came out. The lip got all messed up and the hands-- But I think it's still worth showing?

2 - Tried to do girls from different age ranges. Somehow I managed to draw some cougar-type lady, and everyone's just vaguely young-ish.

3 - Just some dude.

I'm glad you liked that drawing of mine. I really appreciate the links too, I'll try to check them out soon. And yes, I do have more art. Freshly scanned
