Hello fellow artists! My name is Ricky and this is my sketchbook.

Please, please, please critique my work. I will try and return the favor! Painting is a passion of mine and I must get better!

Love

Ricky

More sketches!

**InsanityVonMike** · March 19th, 2011, 02:18 PM

Maybe I'm not to judge but the perspective on the cola seems a little off. Try to set the horizon line at the bottle top. I'd also suggest to vary more between big and small brush : )

Nice start! (y)

**Bip0larRick** · March 20th, 2011, 03:25 PM

Thanks Mike! I KEPT trying to get the perspective right with the coke... I just couldn't get it.

Ill try to change up my brushes too!

looks good; I really like that mountain enviro.

**NenadGojkovic** · April 18th, 2011, 08:49 PM

Hi there Ricky, cool stuff you got here you know. I don't find myself competentive (for now) to give criticism on anything else here except for the weapons. So, the thing that caught my eye on the pistol is, kinda too much straight-lined design. Try avoiding such monotony in the future and let those lines go wild a bit, you know, in more directions rather than mainly horizontal.

As for the other, I especially like the creature, or monster should I say, and the landscape...very good those. Anyway, hope I helped and, see you around...keep that pencil hot!

Cool renvironments, the church and the mountains looks very professional, the rendering of the church materials is also very nice and even your costume design looks good, in my opinion your "weak" points lies somewere else, you should deepen your knowledge of anatomy and drapery so keep studying, there is a ton of good manuals out there, grab a couple and Keep drawing!

Also, drawing people from life whenever you have the chance really helps in my experience!

**mass87** · April 19th, 2011, 05:18 PM

Great stuff u have here. I agree with T_Marasà. U have to get out of your comfort zone and study the things u dont like or have been avoiding

**Bip0larRick** · April 19th, 2011, 05:53 PM

T Marasa: Thank you! I have been trying hard to study the human body and even animals! Ive been trying to keep a sketchbook with me at all times!

Mass87: Yeah... I feel like I pretty comfortable in some areas! I need to do more weapon designs and mechanical things!

Here are more sketches I have been pumping out!
3 are cartoony sketches for local bands and one is a Goya study

Two Apple Studies! YUMMY!

**project_razor** · April 21st, 2011, 01:36 PM

I love the band posters, are they vector based? The apples look great as well.

**Bip0larRick** · April 21st, 2011, 03:48 PM

Thanks Razor! No... the band images were done in photoshop!

Just like everything else!

Here is a quick surface/lighting study I completed!

**Bip0larRick** · April 22nd, 2011, 06:19 PM

Just a quickie!

**Bip0larRick** · April 24th, 2011, 02:52 PM

I saw someone on here sketch this statue out so I thought I would do the same!

**Nerferinn** · April 25th, 2011, 08:05 AM

Your quick ones are awesome =)! Very dynamic!

**Bip0larRick** · April 27th, 2011, 07:53 PM

Girl Speed Painting! (Craig Mullins Study) I love his work!

**BlightedArt** · May 6th, 2011, 11:31 PM

Is it just me or can anyone else see a ton of improvement in such a small timeframe? o_O

The thin brush strokes on your environments are looking excellent, though the way you have then on the flat ground in that last enviro sketch makes it look too much like ... green cobweb or string? or something? - I suck at enviroments so ... take my feedback with a grain of salt, but maybe you can go to thicker brushes on very flat planes, and stick to thinner brushes on more intricate areas like cliffsides etc?

**Bip0larRick** · May 7th, 2011, 01:01 AM

BlightedArt: Thank you for taking the time to help me! I will definitely try and use thicker brushes for the flat plains!
