[Alla Primal]

[Gpozzo]

Great updates! the monkey study is very nice, and the wise monkey is coming out great, nice one on the blade runner study, keep 'em coming man!

[Alla Primal]

Got my first client the day I left school. Kinda excited but we'll see how it goes. Here's a study of a suit.

[Egbu]

The wise monkeys look like they are going to be awesome, keep up the hard work and congrats on the client work

[Alla Primal]

some studies.





getting clean lines is harrddd

[Alla Primal]

mostly done on livestream. had fun with it, just a random character. no rim light!

Some critique would be greatly appreciated

[Alla Primal]

a quick value study of a random guy. after looking at wes' characters I notice the values have very subtle shifts within each element. plan on doing more of these, and colour ones, pretty fun

[Alla Primal]

a quick sketch i might develop further, want to try and do more illustration and environment stuff. supposed to be a rooftop with it been raining

[SandyMan]

Damn so many talented 18 year olds in here, im giving this thread 4 stars, your skill level is great

I hope to your updates more often; that hear no evil monkey is boss!

[Alla Primal]

thanks SandyMan, very encouraging!

need to work on this a ton, the city scape is harrdd

[Alla Primal]

[cgaddict]

Solid work here, really enjoy how you tackle a variety of subjects. Some of your character designs are particularly impressive as well, I'll definitely be watching your progress. Keep it going!

[Alla Primal]

some sargent study

i started my moleskine sketchbook, i shouldnt be so precious about it like it has to be perfect throughout, i can always get another haha. pretty fun

i've been livestreaming recently at www.livestream.com/mahons - been good, it's nice having the pressure of an audience, but the lag is kind of annoying

[Gpozzo]

Great updates man! that Sargent study came out really cool, i somehow like that creature you last posted, is it a dragon?, anyways keep it up, I'm enjoying this

[Alla Primal]

Thanks Gpozzo, yeah it was a dragon. haha

[Hogarou]

awesome studies, dad n me is a great piece!

[Alla Primal]

@Hogarou - Thanks, I don't know what I was thinking with that thing haha.


Random concept

[Alla Primal]

got a scanner finally!

[Alla Primal]

finding construction real difficult

self portrait, just in values tho

i am drawing most of the day, just doing work i cant show. hate it

i'd really like some advice about approaching the whole anatomy training thing, just general critiques and advice would be really appreciated, thanks x

[Alla Primal]

screenshot study, work in progress, love this film

working on faces more, again, finding proportions really difficult

[kevin_]

great sb, your digitals are definitely showing progress! keep it up!

[Pkmike]

YEAH! just keep these coming and draw lots of anatomy from memory after the studies!

[RV-]

Waw! You are on the good way you will do siiiiick stuff, I'm watching at your progress, don t want to miss that!

[Alla Primal]

Thanks so much guys for the confidence boost, and Mike, I'll do some of that now


some colour studies, want to make this a daily thing

[Appylon]

Some great characters and studies here, keep it up.

[Alla Primal]

Thanks Appylon, I plan on it.



A few figure studies. Big thanks to Sam Carr for his resource compilation. Check it out here: http://www.samcarr.net/p/learning-resources.html

[Alla Primal]

stuff from imagination. This was really fun, sorry my lines are very messy. also I dont know if I should be doing updates every time I do something new, I'll probably just keep it to a daily dump of what I do from now on.

[Alla Primal]

this how far I wanna take this study, just wanted the face


composition for just an archer guy at the moment, going to work on his general design next. edit: changed some things that bugged me!


uh just a sketch!

Again, any critiques are much welcome
