Velazquez

[TomSeas]

Man crazy improvement in here. The gradation in those early graphite is already quite subtle.
Hoping for more frequent updates.
Just one question, do you have an idea where you're going with your art?

[GrayPersona]

I don't really know, by now I'm trying to learn the more I can while I'm in the art academy. After that I'll see where my art will carry me.

Few drawings and a recent paint I decided to frame









As always, sorry for the quality of the photos..

[Waipunga]

Stunning. The highest praise I can give you from my own perspective is the wish to have one of your pencil studies on my living room wall so I could live with it.
Beautiful beautiful work. I am so impressed. More please!

[ChisLu]

Wow, your sketchbook is absolutely wonderful, great work, def. subscribed!
I especially payed more attention regarding your traditional ones, do you have any tips about your shading, rendering style? I would like to improve and achieve a better results on my own stuff. Thanks and keep udating !

[Lenatic]

Ok I was moderately impressed by your older digital paintings and then I had a moment. Your sketches and oil paintings are phenomenal! What size and medium do you work in for you sketchbook stuff? I must know your ways! 5 stars from me.

Thank you
I usually work in small sizes except for the caravaggio painting. The sketchbook is a handmade one with 15x22cm sheets. Talking about the medium, I'm still searching for the ideal one but by now i use 50% turpentine and 50% linseed oil.


@ChisLu: thank you
It can be considered a trivial answer but I think it's the right one, the only tip I can give you is to have a lot of patience and watch and study other artist stuff. If you have a more specific question I'd be glad to answer

[Flaskpost]

Fantastic portraits!

[L.Crivello]

finally newer stuff.
Crits are very welcome
