some sketchs from observation.

**ZhouPeng** · December 29th, 2009, 08:41 AM

I'm not good at character designing.

**ZhouPeng** · December 29th, 2009, 08:47 AM

So study from others' good drawings.

**Bergulf** · December 29th, 2009, 08:50 AM

Those faces look good. You have a couple of different styles going on there, everything from realistic to superhero comic book style to some manga looking stuff. It’s good to try many different styles. You will learn what works the best for you. It would be interesting to see some full figure drawings or some environments.

**ZhouPeng** · December 29th, 2009, 08:58 AM

this is an unfinished one. a bad one.
and i don't want to finish it.

**Bergulf** · December 29th, 2009, 09:43 AM

I won’t claim to be an expert on designing environments but I think this looks like a good start. As far as I can tell the perspective looks convincing and you have some interesting architectural designs. How was it made? There appears to be several images overlapping each other.

**Kawauchi** · December 29th, 2009, 09:46 AM

some gorgeus portraits you got there! especially love the asian girl in the first post p: she's really pretty..

I don't think the new piece is bad at all. You did a really good job with the colours, it's got a comfy and warm atmosphere xD I don't know how you did it but the transparent look looks nice..Personally I'm a big fan of art nouveau so that's a plus too ; D

can't wait to see more coloured pieces, gonna be a good sketchbook.

subscriped : )

---WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL SITE... ';D
I like your painting style & figure sketches, especially the interior thing looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING... looking for more of 'em................... CHEERS & GOOD LUCK....

**ZhouPeng** · December 29th, 2009, 10:00 AM

Bergulf: thank you man~ youare right, in fact i used some pics overlapping each other for the material. it's a lazy way~ yeah, i could try differfent way for the charater painting, thank you!

Kawauchi: thank you very much~ maybe i use some warm corlored pics overlapping the painting. i need to practice more hardly~~~

**Nutella** · December 29th, 2009, 11:35 AM

The figures are quite beautiful. You have incredible control over showing movement and tension. I see it in the latest painting as well: that overlapping of shapes and colors really confuses me and makes me look everywhere.

I look forward to seeing more!

**witcrack** · December 29th, 2009, 12:27 PM

Welcome, mate

I dig your character and head studies, you were teasing us there, you are actually good at it and you know it!

I like your first post there, especially, Cute girl

I want to see more!

**knoxie** · December 30th, 2009, 05:34 AM

duuuuuuuude! killer work here. I love that enviro! I'm going to try some overlapping of textures and photos in the piece I'm working on now, you've inspired me.

can't wait to see the next post.

**George Abraham** · December 30th, 2009, 08:26 AM

That's what my loomis studies should have done by now. Hehehe!!!

Nice, hope to be able to draw like you soon.

**ZhouPeng** · December 30th, 2009, 10:07 AM

**Royzy** · December 30th, 2009, 10:19 AM

Love your last post in particular, great to see loads of ideas and poses laid out on the same pages.

There is definitely something interesting going on in that environment piece. I'd keep pushing it, but then I guess it depends what you wanted to get out of it

. It's mostly a great image as it is, in my opinion.

**Hanny Honeymoon** · December 30th, 2009, 11:13 AM

the first portrait is so cool! *___*
*love*

**jordyskateboardy** · December 30th, 2009, 06:11 PM

I agree with the one above me. First portrait is lovely. Great bunch of work in here. Love your sketches you got some pretty intersting poses! You could work a bit on getting your lines a bit less blocky and more fluid but awesome stuff man.

**ZhouPeng** · December 31st, 2009, 10:25 AM

Royzy:thank you~i used some pics for observers~
Hanny Honeymoon:thank you~
jordyskateboardy:thank you~for your advise~~~

this is really great stuff man. don't worry you'll become great at character designing, just keep it up! really love that indoor environment btw. i'll be watching u

**TASmith** · December 31st, 2009, 04:08 PM

Your work's strong! Nice faces - simple, but informed. Love the color interior most. More please! stars added.

**Zorcron** · December 31st, 2009, 05:37 PM

hey there im very impressed with your work a couple things here and there

just my 2 cents, a lot of the faces look pretty similar i think that doing a few studies of some varied faces would be wicked National Geographic is great for that heh (if you dont have any mags laying around they have a photo gallery on the website) or visit your local library they are sure to have a large collection

i really love where that enviro was going i hope to see more varied work in the future

keep up the wonderfull work ! hope to see more soon

**phobetors-journal** · January 2nd, 2010, 01:35 PM

wow, thats a bunch of real cool sketches! a visible cool handwriting you got there!

**Greywoods** · January 2nd, 2010, 01:43 PM

I think you sketching style is great. Cute looking girls.

But I agree, they look a bit too much a like. Try adding a bit more varied personality or something. Keep up the great work.

**Lyno** · January 2nd, 2010, 03:23 PM

Nice studies man, great lines!
btw, the stuff on your site is wicked too
