Sufuri's Sketchbook: Need to get better

**Sufuri** · October 4th, 2010, 01:46 PM

Windmaker: Thanks for the feedback! I'll do more studies, definitely. What you said does make sense, actually. OK, I'll try to polish up a sketch or create a more complete piece...

8bit: Thanks a lot.

Well, I'm not very confident with color yet, but I'll give it a try!

For some reason I can't see your last two posts... And I really want to comment on the sketches. Damn.
Well, at the very least, I'm bumping your thread so that others may comment.

EDIT: Suddenly I see the posts

Thats a cool Logan you did. Reminds me of Wayne Static

The line portrait is awesome! Would be cool to see some values on it. It'll be good practise for your understanding of the 3D forms instead of just the 2D outlines of the face.
The pencil sketches are nice as well. Only thing that bothers me are the legs on the big guy from the first page. They're about as wide at the bottom as they are on the top. And the outlines on both sides of each leg are nearly symmetrical and this gives them aaa... "sausage" like appearance. In that respect, the lady on the last page is awesome. Nice flowing curvy lines that create a great rythm. Well done!

Great updates! Love the more illustrative stuff. Especially the sketch with the two creatures and the group of people between them. The gesture drawings are also pretty nice!
In order to improve your hatching and rendering abilities I would practice more on basic primitives. Nothing beats drawing cubes and cylinders, and spheres...

Keep up the dedication and good work!

Windmaker: Thanks! Glad you like them

I'll keep at it, keep practicing...I'll also try out hatching and rendering on basic primitives...update soon!

I think you're doing great. You're pretty good at faces and expressions. Just keep on drawing!

**Windmaker** · October 15th, 2010, 09:32 AM

Awesome improvement! Love the portraits. Especially the lst one. Such an intense look in her eyes! Great work! And the anatomy studies are great as well.
Can't think of anything to critique really. Just keep drawing and posting!

keigo: Thanks...I'll keep drawing!
Windmaker: Thank you! More to come

I believe there is only a single word, invented solely for the purpose of expressing how extraordinary that last image (the sunset-y one) actually it.
And that word is:
PHWOAAR
Awesome.
It'd look wonderful as someones desktop.

Your progress is great. I love how loose and fluid some of your characters are.

Great so far!
I really like these fast sketches. They are looking great!

How about doing a few stillifes. They help much and they are looking good

keep it up!
