Wow, beautiful drawings! I like your diversity in being able to do more than just pretty ladies. Your linework is really nice and loose too. I look forward to more of your stuff!

[Frekkle]

I like the variety in here c:
Can't toss any useful crits in your way :/ but I wanna watch this thread because of your lovely color palettes

[The Electric Ant]

[blue skies]

Looking good so far - you have a really nice diversity in your subjects. Especially love your sketches too.. great line quality.

[Zaphk]

Thank you, blue skies!! =*

No, really, I can't make the water looks like water =( It looks like ..ink or something! Frustraaaaating!!

[The Electric Ant]

Thanks for stopping by in my thread!
Ughh... I've never painted a water, so I'm afraid that I can't help you But I love character with monkey! and all previous studies, keep them up!

[Lumens]

Love your work

I'm not great at water either, but maybe try some stillifes of a clear glass of water? or anything from landscapes to masterpainting with some reflections in it.

[jNeumann]

Your stuff rocks! Looking forward to more.

[Zaphk]

Thanks a lot, guys! =*

Yes! I followed your advice, Lumens, thank you!
Oh man, still life painting is hard D: I'll try other object with water later, and the (agh!) landscapes.

[Zaphk]

like your style very good sketches keep posting

[DvrJeroen]

Oh lawd, That last wip looks amazing

[LisaAnnGreen]

Love the pencil work! I'm partial to pencils tho.
The trick with water is that it can only give back the colors of its environment, just reconfigured in different puzzle piece shapes (plus highlights). Try to simplify into tabletop, surrounding walls, ceiling, plus some of you, maybe a little blue sky from the window out of frame... Everything makes sense. No chroma jumps. I think if you made the air above the blue water in your earlier study recede by greying it somewhat, and losing the high chroma blue in the stream it might look more natural.

great studies! your digital works looks great!

[Zaphk]

Thanks so much PScissors, Jarkuzy and Kevin
Thank you so much, Lisa Ann! ♥ It was very helpful. This is the reference I was using, I'll find another one to study and some more still life.

[Symbeli]

Your linework is stunning, super inspirational stuff... :3

[Zaphk]

Thank you Symbeli =*

One moar!

[Mangix]

Digging your sketches, nice lines.

[I-Bomb]

Loving the sketchbooks all I can say is work more on the anatomy and proportions of the body you have the basics down just fix those and also post some more trad sketches

[Zaphk]

Thank you, Mangix!
Thanks, udonhead! Yup! I'll work on anatomy/proportion
Unfortunatly it will be hard to post trad sketches, I don't have scanner or a camera with good quality.
(My reptiles sketches looks just awful, I took the photo with psVita! Agh!)

[Zaphk]

Long time no post =(
Some new stuffs
