some material balls and gestures

**Gpozzo** · December 15th, 2012, 06:24 PM

Great updates man, i'm loving the brush work in your studies, that material ball study seems like a succes, i should try and do that... anyways, keep it up

**Just Call Me Bruce!** · December 15th, 2012, 06:58 PM

Those material spheres are a cool idea, are they done with ref handy or all from your mind?
You are setting a good standard and apart from reminding you that this thing we call art can take quiet some time, there isn't a lot more I feel I can give you at the moment.
keep it up!

**lionheartGFX** · December 15th, 2012, 07:05 PM

awesome line economy on those gestures, maan how do you do your texture spheres? id love some steps, pretty pretty please?

**Wingal** · December 15th, 2012, 07:24 PM

**denzalan** · December 15th, 2012, 07:40 PM

**Hyunjae** · December 15th, 2012, 08:15 PM

awesome value studies man

**Yemi775** · December 15th, 2012, 08:25 PM

Great update man, how did you those material ball painting?

**Eternal Apprentice** · December 16th, 2012, 12:52 AM

Dude, you have inspired me with your balls. I feel like I can reach out and touch them.....

**PollyBoffin** · December 16th, 2012, 08:25 AM

Your value practices and material balls are just...wow. The gesture drawing seems a bit stiff though and since this is something that I suffer from as well, I don't have any handy tips to offer.

A wonderful sketchbook that I'll come back to for inspiration.

**MrFrenik** · December 16th, 2012, 01:54 PM

For the figure work I'd suggest looking at some of Vilppu's work. He really does a great job of explaining how to capture and flesh out of a figure from simple, constructive gestures.

**Lakai** · December 17th, 2012, 09:13 PM

thx guys

It's still wip

**Eternal Apprentice** · December 17th, 2012, 10:03 PM

I have a hard time believing that. Are you RENDERING the hair follicles!?!?

I was going to say something useful, then I read this rofl... I kinda liked the green because it matched his bottle but you know better then I do =). Onward!

**LtPlissken** · December 18th, 2012, 01:55 AM

Enormous splattered mayonnaise experience! I never saw such
majestically rendered beautiful materialized material balls.
This is a true motivational mountain mover for all of us,
ace job on the general flow and project.

**Lakai** · December 20th, 2012, 12:28 PM

LtPlissken thx glad u like it

. I'd like to see them with fresh eyes like u would the first time looking at them.
Eternal Yea I'm gonna do that

Wingal thx,feel free to critique me to the ground

Some atcs and gestures. Tried a different approach on the colored one.

**Lakai** · December 28th, 2012, 07:07 PM
