thumbcramps' sketchbook: comment, critique, and discussion welcome!

[thumbcramps]

Hey there. I've decided to start one of these up to force myself to keep working as hard as I can. I'm a 20 year old sophomore illustration student and I've got one hell of a way to go.

Critique, encouragement, questions, or just comments are very welcome.

Thanks for taking a look.

endless pile of nose studies

and a couple things to give you guys an idea of how i "flow"
i guess i do have some sort of style going on, but the issues i'm really having is first of all strengthening my anatomy to the best of my ability and then figuring out to use my habits and "style" to its greatest potential. pretty tough.
