Great start here at Conceptart, try digging some more in Loomis books for anatomy studies, they really help.

While drawing from life try some longer poses, keep challenging yourself.

[Dramin]

Some sketches and studies of today, I'm trying to improve the anatomy but I have problems with it.

A study of light and shading


Few bad anatomy sketches. I have to improve a lot on them but is very difficult to me.

[Diarum]

looks good, keep doing those still lifes, they will help you the most. Try doing some basics and stuff like drawing cubes and stuff they will help you a lot too. Nothing more really to say other then that!

Great start, those life studies in particular are very solid. Glad you're starting off with the 'Right Side of the Brain', great way to start if you're serious about improving your technique. I also recommend 'The Natural Way to Draw' by Nicolaides. He has some great exercises that will really help you improve your draftsmanship .

Keep on going, looking forward to seeing how you progress.

[Dramin]

Diarium:Thanks for your help, i think that is a good excercise to practice.
cgaddict:First thanks, I'm going to check out 'The Natural Way to Draw'.

This is a very good start! The box cutter is accurate and your focused on detail, this will be so usefull in the future!

[Dramin]

Thanks to all for your help, I have done some new sketches but I have the feeling that my draws seems worse than other days but I keep drawing.
