Pencils look beautiful as always, Krato.

You really need to watch the ratio of the head/face to the rest of the body, you're consistantly
making the head too big. This is a natural psychological tendency...because you're concentrating
on the area with the most detail and emotional impact.

Try to get the proportions down before rendering or details and keep this rule of thumb in mind:
The volume of the cranium should be one half the space between the top of the head and
shoulder girdle.

In the same way the volume of cranium should be such that four of them could be stacked
from the shoulders down to the crotch. The length of the limbs may vary quite a bit from an 'ideal'
measurement (especially the legs) but this ratio of head to torso should be pretty stable unless you're
dealing with little people.

I'm talking cranium volume, and not accounting for the whole head, to include the jaw, because its
nice to have a neat symmetrical unit of measure, and also because the whole head doesn't evenly
divide the body according to its bony landmarks. All this is based on the work of Michael Mentler,
from his posts on CA and on TSoFA.

Anyways, keep it up!

Kickass updates mate! youre coming pro!

[LORD M]

Hey Kevin!

I think you should explore a bit more different types of faces, like old people and fat people and so on. You'll get a broader selection to choose from when making faces from imagination.

Still liking the portrait.

And get on msn more often!

[shambok]

Awesome work .. thanx for sharing.

[Vatsel]

Good stuff Krato, I am liking the last piece. Looking forward to more imagination stuff as always.

I'd critique you but I think you've had your fair share of harsh crits :/ Just keep doing your thing is all I can say

Looking forward to more

Commented on your studies there.

Keep well bro.

[Krato]

[Kungfoowiz]

Wroom: this is not a five star thread

lateman: thanks

ole-x: thanks

teapo,kung: thanks


fuck it i cant stay off CA this site is my homewebtown ill think ill start posting on here again see how it goes.

just a few things and a Jaime/min study red knight guy - jaime jones study zombie guy - bumskee

i need to get into that mode i was in before back in the 1-20 pages.

[Wr00m]

My vote, I get to vote how I want. Not far away from being a 5 thread though. really like the selfportrait on the previous page. And yes, you should definitely start posting again!

Spend some more time on the concept, Find some more interesting designs/shapes. im sure it'll end up great :]
Love the zomibe painting!

Edit: flipped through the your sb somewhat more. and i think the latest stuff of traditional deserves 5 stars. your level on painting is perhaps not on the same level as drawing. But you're still good

[AlexEh]

Yeah go crazy at it I think you need to push your shapes more to add some interest, like on that sci fi marine alot of the shapes are in the same sort of range.

Just start thinking about these kind of things when your studying, and working.

I think working on doing some tight line drawings to plan out your compositions can help a lot.

[Nettle_Mountain]

hi there, those latest characters are bit stiff in pose, spine could benefit the use of S curve in there, later digitals are really nice though, like that painterly soldier really much

[surus]

I would pay a lot to get your pencil drawing skills. Maybe I should practice now.

[fudgeloaf]

Hey Krato just looked through your SB and really enjoyed every page, your discipline is awesome and im glad to see your back on CA (even though i wasnt here when you left hehe) Looking forward to some more updates man and good progress on the Jaime Jones study!
