Ok, after sitting and watching on my terrible sketches i desided to throw all junk off my head and to start doing anatomy studies and all other studies that artist needs. So now I will start to do some anatomy. Its comfortable to me to start from arms. Than I will continue to study torso, legs and then I will proceed to hands and feet. I also sertainly will do general construction and gestures of human body. Color studies, lightning and tones will come a bit later, now I think i need to concentrate on geometry and just lines... Also I would love to use some feedback, I'm open to any suggestions and tips. So here is my first start on arms anatomy using books.

some studies and random.

A nice start to your thread! I can see you're trying to get a handle on the digital tools but don't neglect the old school pencil and paper! Push for some value studies and keep those anatomy ones up too. The scribble thumbnails of the figures above are some of my faves. Lots of potential there! Keep it up!

Thx for a comment. Here are some new sketches from imagination. I'm trying some poses and angles.

Cool dragons =D, but I'd use color dodge a little more sparingly..Going over the top with opaque paint would prob help solidify your forms a lot.

[bubblesaw]

Wow your concept/ideas are just stunning. Your bound to go very far if you continue like this. Keep it up !
