CHOW looks good man! I'll serve up a tiny crit like everyone else, try not to over-render fur. A lot of the fur could've been clumped together instead of each one being drawn out, especially at the tail.

[PaintMyBrain]

wow thats an amazing painting. very beautifully executed and I love the concept. and she has got a great looking bum. keep it up

[Jeremy Swan]

Neewwarrr!!! b33n soz bizi with uni. But I i did do 1 paint ... its all good we have easter right? Thank you Jesus/Bunnies/Sun Worship or whatever.

Lol didn't show face of my CHoW so it doesn't count... fail right? nah I learnt friken heaps all thanks you guys . I will enter again with renewed STRANGTH!!!... one day, during the holidays for sure! anyway...

prsnsweeney: Ah lighting how its illusiveness escapes me, next time for sure man!
JamesSimons: Thanks DUDE!
teapo: I NOES right? Better I shall become, thanks for the vote... that you can't give cause I got da boot. lol. its the thought that counts though ha ha.
adamsimons: Totally man, just got to give it a go!
Just Call Me Bruce!: Thanks, i had to google "tapered" lol. AND yes you should totally give COW or CHoW a go its awesome!
MattGamer: Thanks man, Fear + Failure = Progression. Well i nailed the fail part ha ha. Its all good though, you learn more in failure than in success anyway!
skMOP: Very true i was thinking that when i when all crazy with ma brush strokage. I'll figure out the balance eventually.
PaintMyBrain: lol, I have gotten a lot of comments on the bum ha ha

Dang thats like the most love I've ever had at CA... so happy

P.S. I used the little red paint for my DVD Assignment!
.

[MattGamer]

Good work on the assignment. Hope you get an A. ;]
And thanks for the critique on my CHoW, you're totally right and I completely forgot about the eyes and emotion sort of thing. Great refresher.

never give up, never give in! take critiques like a grain of sand from those who can't draw and from those who can draw take the critique as you deem best. sometimes what you're doing wrong is totally right for you! everyone has a different path, we just have to persist and keep on drawing!

[Niam]

The DVD assignment it looking great!
keep it up : D

[JailHouseRock2]

Nice work man, DVD assignment looks awesome!

Keep them studies coming, there making a difference!

[teapo]

[adamsimons]

bad luck with chow!
nice work on the study, the darks on the figure look very dark though.
keep up the good work!

[Just Call Me Bruce!]

Bad luck on having no face lol
It's a good thing you put the woman and wolf on a different layer to the background!
Just one more thing, put more colour on that woman!!!(blues, greens. pinks, purples, whatever!)
Oh and happy Easter(mega chocolate day )!

[JamesSimons]

Hi Jeremy! I have to agree with my bro's above. Fun fact: did you know that Adam had a chow entry rejected?

[Jeremy Swan]

Happy Easter everybody!
Spent my long weekend down the coast surfing and skating, very relaxing
Also started some studies in my lil sketchbook! and was looking at some cartoons from the 1920's and OMG!!! they are so cool! .

MattGamer: Sir yes sir!
vivi: I will! thank you!
JailHouseRock2: good to know! more coming!
teapo:thanks duuuuuude! the 1 imaginary vote means a lot to me, more than a real VOTE! ha ha
adamsimons: mmm need to do some light studies hmm... thanks for the AMAZING insight!
Just Call Me Bruce!: I am fat now... all that chocolate , hmmm more colours, i did do some hue experimentation ages ago, but I've never used it since, WHY is colour so hard!!!
JamesSimons: Now way, we're like in the same boat!
[EDIT]: adamsimons: i sense a connection of failure that will result in AWESOMENESS!

thanks all, and goodnight!

[AustenFM]

Hey buddy, i like where you're going with your studies. i always end up drawing gore on the sections of studies that aren't filled in as well, haha. I also encourage further study of old toons, that's some of my favorite subject matter. You can typically find $5 dvd sets of 250+ classic cartoons that are pretty awesome. Tons of old b+w stuff thats pure eye candy.

Also, good work on your red riding hood inspired dvd cover, end result looks sharp.

You're doing great, keep up these studies and such, i'll be back for more!

[prsnsweeney]

love the anatomy studies and i love what you did with the painting and using it for a dvd cover ha such a good idea only crit is on the figure painting... left elbow looks like its got a weird crease in it but great overall figure

[MattGamer]

love the studies man!! keep it up!

[Jeremy Swan]

some more...

AustenFM: thanks for dropping by man, i was actually inspired by your stuff, pretty much the reason for me buying the a5 sketchbook. love your style. old toons, comics all that jaz, very interesting media.
prsnsweeney: yeah the elbow looks gay ha ha, thats why i needz to do these studies ha ha
MattGamer: thanks bro, more more MORE!

Having a lot of fun with these studies, hands next...

[Sushy]

those studies are awesome
And Popeye came out very well.

[Odayga]

Keep on going with your anatomy studies and toons! really diggin what you have here! keep it up!

[skMOP]

Make sure you're applying all the muscle studies! Draw them from imagination or try creating a buff character without reference. Learning the names can be helpful but don't focus too much on it. Keep up the studies

[prsnsweeney]

love the anatomy studies keep it coming

[Danny_K]

good work in here, you got good steady lines thats awesome

[raminafshari]

oh oh , very fine lines in anatomy studies .

[adamsimons]

there's no " ...thanks -_-' " button on concept art.
great work with the studies!
i highly recommend radshowtos and johnK if you want more info on cartoon construction.

[JamesSimons]

Nice Work with the studies!
Sorry Adam

[Just Call Me Bruce!]

Liking the anatomy studies!
One thing you can do as well as try the anatomy from your mind, is to draw a photo as anatomy
I know it's kind of expensive, but do you have an anatomy model? This is the one I have, and while I haven't used it much yet, it's real quality!

man I love anatomy and ronnie

[teapo]

quality updates jeremy~ good to see you exploring cartoons and the in-depth anatomy studies are always beneficial!

[Jeremy Swan]

back

Sushy: thanks
Odayga: i will thank you
skMOP: application... got it
prsnsweeney: i shall, more to come
Danny_K: yey steady lines ha ha, i guess i don't have epilepsy
raminafshari: really? mmm i wish they were finer or had more variation
adamsimons: thanks for the links very cool
JamesSimons:
Just Call Me Bruce!: aw cool, but yeah I'm poor ha ha
teapo: thx bro

Soz I started my drawing class a couple of weeks ago, finally got my moleskin and by far the greatest pencil of all time. Really amazing to use, mmm quality equipment makes a huge difference. I look forward to getting a Kuretake No. 13 Fountain Hair Brush Pen in a few weeks, do some mad as ink work. Should be fun.

[MattGamer]

yusss! muscle studies, house studies, scene studies are sweet! go go go, moar moar moar and draw draw draw!

[Jeremy Swan]

MattGamer: Yes I have some catching up to do!

Some exercises on perspective and cartoons. 1. one point perspective, 2. two point perspective, 3. two point freehand perspective. 4. Cartoon facial construction. 5. Cartoon character construction.

[teapo]

osnap... that kuretake pen is so expensive but oh so sexy also.... that bed study looks comfy, i want to sleep in it u.u Zzzz

but in all seriousness, you're doing great bro! tackling that perspective like a BOSS!

[adamsimons]

good work on the studies!
if you get a chance check out the carl dobsky perspective videos,its the clearest explanation of perspective i've come across.
the scott robertson video are also very cool.
keep up the toon studies, being able to build up drawing with form helps a lot, with a lot of other subjects and styles
