Your figure and animal sketches look good. Keep up those studies. Don't forget to paint from life too to get better understanding of how light works.

**Darius-sama** · August 23rd, 2011, 06:21 PM

Thank you. I definetely will!

**Aragah** · August 23rd, 2011, 08:56 PM

thank you for the visit!
nice to see that you are progressing in the right direction!
i'm going to give the same advice that i'd give myself -do more studies!!!

**Darius-sama** · August 24th, 2011, 11:56 AM

Thank you for visiting and advice! Practice makes perfect))

**adelenta** · August 24th, 2011, 12:26 PM

Wonderful studies Darius! Love those strong confident lines in your sketches. Looking forward on seeing you progress

**j-ace** · August 24th, 2011, 04:43 PM

You have a good gallery but I must say your sketch work is far more superior then the digital oriented (with the exception of the snow hike, that is incredible). I love the figurative drawing and some of your animal stuff is awesome. Keep uploading and keep on designing and you will go far in life.

**Darius-sama** · August 25th, 2011, 03:24 PM

Adelenta, thank you))) I hope to keep improving)
J-ace, thank you for visiting my gallery and sketchbook! I appreciate it) I draw digitally for not so long time ^^' Hope I'll get better in it soon, still need to study it. Thank you for comment again)
Here's some stuff I used to do when I was 12-13.. I attended good sculpture class in 2005-2007.

**Naidy** · August 26th, 2011, 02:03 PM

Hey, mate. Nice start so far! I like the horse pictures and you're comeing up with some interesting compositions. Be sure to keep up the studies, they'll strengthen your imagination.

Anyways, keep up the good work!

**Darius-sama** · September 3rd, 2011, 10:54 AM

Naidy, thank you for advise!

Sorry for recent absence, new school year just started, so no free time.. Anyway I keep my studies! Here's Lady Gaga male alter ego (Joe Calderone) speed painting. Done in Photoshop.

**mrd33ds** · September 3rd, 2011, 02:33 PM

your stuff is looking very well friend!

one thing i do suggest with some of the digital paintings is maybe try working with values only first. Always remember stuff in background should be less saturated, and foreground being darkest with lightest highlights and most detail. Once you paint with only values, you dont have to worry about colors til the end.

if you dont know how to put colors on top of value in photoshop, just make a new layer with property set to 'overlay' and begin coloring it in.

So I hope this helps! Im still trying to master photoshop so dont think im crazy, just trying to help!

Also I recommend this site to everyone because it helps me out A TON! www.ctrlpaint.com

take care!

Hello Darius
That recent bell-pepper is looking juicy!
Great variety in subject matter, always good to approach stuff from all directions.
really like that recent page with the tribal girl with the headdress.
Keep posting!
