Thanks Vices!

[Pedro Ferreira]

bye now!

wow awesome sketchbook! i like that you work from simple to complex, where i think you could improve is in cramming more values into your images, and exaggeration, the later one i think you could focus on it, if theres something moving make it move even more! see how everything else reacts and try to make it work as a drawing, that is what the reference is there for, so if you want to change something you can look at the reff and see your starting point, either way you got some skills, and alot of good ideas, the sailor moon one cracked me up haha fun stuff, also start to think about composition, this is very important too since i see you are trying to make your own stuff so having a strong composition will help you make a better portfolio, keep it up man and be well!

good luck and work hard!

[Pedro Ferreira]

thanks so much for this amazing criticism,I strongly agreelionheartGFX !
Gotta keep this in mind once I get around another illustration/design.

quick study,haven't got much time for anything else really.

[smrrfette]

Such a great improvement! Really digging that portrait of the masked girl!
And I really like what you posted about your environments:

I've been "thinking" more when painting them

-- something I could definitely learn from, so thanks for that!

[Yemi775]

That girl up i really like how you did the lighting, i would suggest you do some digital painting still lifes they'll help you a lot.

[Jarrad]

Hey there! Really cool stuff. I like how you cover a wide variety of things, well at that! It seems like maybe your anatomy could use a bit of practice. Also, I really love your studies, especially the water and fish!!!

[Pedro Ferreira]

smrrfette-Thanks a lot man,that feels good to hear,I'm glad!
Yemi775-Thanks for the advice Yemi :p
Jarrad-I know dude,I haven't found a very solid way to really glob anatomy so I can draw it from mind,meh,will keep on trying! thanks for the advice!

Time for SCANS

[twelvex]

[Aragah]

some bitching stuff here man those last two updates kicked ass!. keep it up
would recommend keeping in mind that bodies are 3d forms, and making sure people can see those forms in a 3d way when you draw it.

[Darsy]

You have some preety good stuff around here man, that drawing of the girl with the sword in her chest caught my attention because I drew something just like that some time ago, and now I see you're also from Portugal XD.
You're doing very well with the charachters and environment studies, don't stop posting.

[Pedro Ferreira]

Aragah- Thanks bro! I think that's the hard part to learn how to draw(line only).I need harder study on that.thanks a lot man.

Darsy-Hi pal, it's amazing to find someone from our country on here
Thanks! I have no intention to stop,hope you have none too!


Some studies and trying out some stuff.I liked the concept in the chair thing,but I'm not skilled enough to finish it,and started to get frustrated with it.
The pink one is a WIP I've been working on, having fun so far.











keep drawing y'all!

[Pedro Ferreira]

[Care]

love the walking dead sketches! great work dude, great studies, especially the water ones

[Pedro Ferreira]

Care-thanks dude!

40min study and finished the pink thing,kind of.



stay cool cats.

[jedininjaman]

odd book.
Some of the stylizations you have are really strong, but most of the characters suffer from some anatomy hiccups (areas of transition, like hips and armpits, but also collar and neck in general.)
You have some real strong illustrations though.

[Pedro Ferreira]

jedininjaman- haha that made me laugh XD thanks man! Those are points I definitely want to tackle,S O O N
Got my scanner to work!


WIP(overdone sketch,I can't really do perspective haha)

[Clu]

wow, awesome stuff! the fish+water one was amazing.
your style looks really good and all of your sketchy stuff is nice (you've definitely inspired me to draw more!)
also, do I see some studies from japan?

[Satu]

Cool new stuff! I really love your watercolor works, especially this and this

[Pedro Ferreira]

Clu-So glad to hear it,really am,thanks! I actually fight myself to draw less Japanese stuff,so that wont be a problem!


Satuthanks homie!

character design,pencils finished in photoshop


cheers!

[jondawo]

Cool character designs here and I really like the forest waterfall illustration. Remember to pay attention to reflected light in the shadows in order to turn the form more clearly. Sometimes and arm or a leg will fall kind of flat.

Keep up the hard work though
