Thanks.

Here's another one for sketchoholic.

[Black Spot]

You are having fun this summer. I'd like to see it taken to completion. You could go steam punk with it.

[tobbA]

Thanks. Yeah. I'll see about that...

Here's a bit of a dump... First three are for sketch marathon, fourth is the warrior guy that I decided to keep working on and last a photo study.

Warrior dude in color

Can you lengthen the arms of the bear? If you imagine it alive and gallumping along, they're rather short. Weapons and face are good.

[tobbA]

Guess I'll just have to bring out my bear arm elongating spray...

[tobbA]

(I'm funny when I'm tired... ^^')

Here they are slightly longer... But checking some reference bears arms aren't really that long.

[tobbA]

Here's another photo study.

Playing around with a different brush...

[Black Spot]

The arms may not be that long but you have to take the chest into consideration.

Nice texture on the photo study.

[CUKIERass]

[hunter_info]

such an awesome bunch of sketches .. like them all !!

[Black Spot]

The third water colour landscape is the best as you've concentrated more on the form of the leaves.

Hey dude, thanks for commenting in my SB! I love the watercolor studies you have going on in here, especially the one in the your first post (the candlestick), and the tea pot in post #32 at the top of this page. I know glass can be a pain; have you tried using wine bottles? I find their distortions to be easier and more aesthetically pleasing due to the simple cylindrical form.

I think one area where you could improve in is your use of color, particularly in your skin tones. The forms and values look great, but they feel a desaturated, to the point where the skin looks a bit ashen. I would suggest trying to warm them up a tad with some lively peach hues and try to avoid going too grey, even in the shadowed areas.

Keep up the good work!

[SMILEFACE]

haha I REALLY DIG THE CLOTHING STUDIES AN THE HERO SHOT RRRRRRRRRROOOCCCCKSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

[raminafshari]

very good character design i like you the man in the bear skin . why dont you draw some background for them ?

[tobbA]

hunter: Thanks.
Black Spot: Thanks. Yeah... I kinda threw that one together when there was little time left in class...
dierat: Thx Yeah. I feel my colors have taken a bit of a dive when I've started with the values first. Guess I need to work more on that
Massa: Thankssss!
Raminsafari: Thanks. Yeah... Bgs are probably a good idea.

Some life studies from school. I tamed that wolverine myself.

And a couple of wips

[tobbA]

An update on the bagsnatcher.

[tobbA]

Armor study from a photo and some more done on the jedi guy...

[Black Spot]

That armour study is kick ass.

On the bag snatcher, I think her gaze needs to be more central due to the guys arm placing him more central.

[Raffix]

this is all looking great man, digital studies look ace and i really love your watercolours, especially the still lifes. maybe a couple of portraits/self portrait?
