[Mr.Thorne]

Love the robotic girl and centaur thumb. Both look good and i am hoping you are going to show us finished versions of them fully polished and nice looking.

[fantasyartist]

Awesome stuff bro! Great linework and colors. I'll keep an eye on this sketchbook!

[dleoblack]

Naidy: yu are improving fast too! take care
Heavens: thanks!
Kostas: yes for the manga image I draw the final line at 3000x3000 and when resized line was good, but my pc is too old and slow...
thorne: thanks, the centaure will go for final as I want to do it for my portfolio...
fantasyartist: thanks man

This week I badly hurted my head so I was stopped in hospital for exames, but brain seem to be ok :/
Here is a dracolich. If anyone would like some steps, this time I saved the levels

cheers

[NickTrip]

Oh my goodness, I certainly hope your brain is ok. Here's to a speedy recovery!

[dleoblack]

Thanks Nick! I do almost nothing cause I have difficult to focus on anything, in the bed more part of the day :/

[NickTrip]

Very nice, looks good.

[Ricardo Robles]

hey there, hope you´re feeling better.
nice updates, love the light in that last one. Your atmospheric perspective is getting very good.

[ThomasM]

really nice environments in here. The improvement is crazy in only 5 pages and a short amount of time. Have you been drawing long? You say you didn't go to art school so I'm amazed how quickly you've picked up use of value and colour

[kingkostas]

Damn leo awesome work!!!! I think u have now improved both edges and the textures and these works are so beautiful!!! Love the environments and the portrait and everything actually
Great, keep it up!!!Glad to hear there is no problem about your head, be careful and take care.

[raminafshari]

WOW WOW WOW .... these creatures and first drawing in post #137 are so grate .

[dleoblack]

ThomasM: thanks, Thomas. Yes, I'd like to have gone to an art school but my parents weren't in the same opinion so at last started to work early :/
I can say that my big change was following hannes sk: there I've seen what to do to improve: copy references is a big pass to archive a visual library in my mind (Actually I do a lot of copies that don't post here...boring)...
Kostas: hey! Glad you stopped here, Sorry not to be on sks too much, but my eyes are a bit tired by the monitor, after my head was "shaked"...hope to be totally ok soon, we see :/
raminafshari: thanks!

here is a new thing, Playing with texture brushes (cpt's brushes); looking at Gerome's painting "pollice verso". was around 8h

[marioucci]

Thank you for posting on my SB man. I am in awe with your work and I dont understand why this thread is only 3* with you showing such sophistication and quality ideas. 5* from me.

Cheers man

Mario

[Emil_]

Fantastic updates, especially that last one, absolutely love the colors and texture in that one.

[dleoblack]

Mario, really thanks for your words! I looked at your blog, fantastic works there!
Ehi Emil, how are you? thanks for stopping here, bro!

Just a morning sketch before painting, mucha style+textured...

[Emil_]

Been better . Really digging that Mucha inspired sketch.

[Featheredface]

You've come a long way, wonderful progress! I 'specially like the colours and composition in the Warrior girl picture.
