alex tooth sketchbook

Fantastic art bro, couple of things I would suggest fixing on the commission.
Her head and body directions are contradicting each other, are you building a constructed skeleton with ovals and cylinders to see where each part of the body goes? if you nail the construction at the beginning the rest should be a breeze. Michael Hamptons book figure drawing he explains there very well how to construct your figure so it will look solid, excellent book.

Another thing is the angle which would affect how much of her jaw we would see from underneath, you painted the eyes and the nose in the right angle but the chin and jaw are from straight angle.

Keep going bro as I said on DA you are blowing my mind with your works lately.

Wow, moving to Spain!? Like for good or what? =)

Re the Iphone girl =) Mmm, her left arm, would maybe suggest a bit of hollow between the arms there. Right arm feels a bit stiff maybe.. I quite like her face, think she's pretty good in that department =) The little circlet could maybe be placed slightly different, not sure about it tbh. In general tho, it's looking fantastic! =) Sweet work! =) Keep up the awesome! =)

[Chaser226]

wonderful shapes my friend ^^

[JJacks]

Love the colors of your latest piece. I look forward to seeing it finished.

[AlexTooth]

Thx guys! Chase long time no see, hope you're well

Update on this piece, would love any tips to take it further! Without overdoing things :o

[akkibox]

The atmosphere is lovely. The only thing I can think of is the folds of her skirt are too straight. I feel like they would follow the curve of her thighs a bit more... I'm not sure though. It's a great piece.

[p sage]

The horse's "shoulders" and "chest" seem narrow. Colors are better and values are better. Keep going

[rumpenstiltzkin]

ah man i love your enviros, the colors have life to it and you capture great atmosphere in them, really loove the floating rocks one from post #787 , and the last update has a really nice magical mood.
i agree that the folds could be following the curve more, but other than that i wanna see it finished soon!

[Esco]

Your latest work looks very good. I really like the magical atmosphere and the colors are very good. Now for some criticism:

In addition to the dress as many already have pointed out, the front of the horse feels wrong somehow. The first thing I noticed was the front legs. I think it looks as if they sit too close to each other, unlike the angle of the horse. They almoste look like human legs in some weird way. I also think that another motion would look better. Now it looks a bit (just a little bit!) like this movement:

But I think something like this would be better:

And maybe some bigger muscles on the upper legs of the horse, (the 19-21 area in the picture below) It looks a bit flat at the moment.

I'm no pro by any means, and I do not know much about horse anatomy, but maybe my post is helpful in some way. Keep up the great work man!

[AlexTooth]

Thanks all

akki - thanks! oh I think 5 ppl have mentioned the folds now lol - it's the first thing I will see to!

p-sage - thanks mate. mmm I might do some horse studies now! problem with keep going is i'm not sure where to go "to" but i'll try!

rumps - thanks for your comments man!!

esco - thanks that is all very helpful I really appreciate it!!

it's a lot of help guys, I have a WIP thread too and between here and there I learnt gazillions of things /happy

few sketchlings really today, took break from that pic a bit, will finish it this coming week and finish all the other unfinished bits n pieces!







This is a fun piece for weekly challenge on ifx design a m-apple product, i might finish it, its only a simple little thing anyway!

[Kungfoowiz]

Wow Alex wooow.. missed a few updates.. sowwie =) Maybe in the Riding piece, a bit more variation in the arches in the background, hope that helps =) The sketches above look great btw, really nice work there =) Keep up the Awesomeness! =)

[Voodoo_Mama]

Great environments!
The one with the floating rocks is really good, it has awesome colors and values
I like how the piece of the woman riding the horse is turning out. I also think that the horse looks a bit narrow lke someone mentioned.
Keep it up!

[Mila]

Liking the updates !

[Black Spot]

Haven't been here in ages. Lovely eye-candy as ever.

[Yor]

totally love the woman on the horse, awesome colors! well i like pretty much all of it.
great job!

[AlexTooth]

Thanks all!

Bit of an update, lemee know if you think it could be improved! levels in particualr

[Vodus]

hey alex! The latest piece is absolutely awesome. Im not sure which version i prefer , the more desaturated one or the latest , they both work brilliantly.
Only small crit i can give you is that her sword on her back looks a bit flat and her hands could use slightly more detail. The horse improved tons , maybe it could be a bit bigger? but yeah , great piece man

[NickyBeats]

BOOM! looking great man! i mentioned this on FB, but i think the foreground deets could be pushed a little more, but on the whole its looking really slick man! great colors!!

[Mila]

Big improvement in the update. The lower legs of the horse still look a little thin to be honest. I looked at some ref, but I could be wrong. Keep going, because it's looking absolutely fantastic so far.

[Black Spot]

The way the light is hitting her dress doesn't match up with how it's hitting her face or head gear. I take it's mainly coming from above.
