My sketchbook journey

[Baya]

So i decided to make a sketchbook, I don't have that much stuff yet, but i guess it's a beginning.
So here are some posemaniacs and stuff to begin with!

[Baya]

Some recent drawings from imagination:

1. A portrait sketch from a character of mine.
2. Something I drew for my my mother's birthday.
3. I Wanted to draw something detailed.
4. An alchemy doodle.
5. Another character.
6. A WIP, reference used.
enjoy the bad perspective!

for you'r pencil work(in post one) - I see good studies! I will suggest you try to do
one confident line for outlining(just looking first and deciding where is the line)
and also, try to avoid outlining everything, it is sometimes unnecessary, like the lips
don't have this strong lines

the drawing for you'r mom is really pretty!
keep it and keep posting (:

Interesting stuff here! I agree with Chompi'n, the drawing for your mum is great
But also, yeah, you do seem to outline facial features a lot. Go for a smooooth blend - try to think in form, not just shapes and symbols
And #5 (the character) is posing kinda stiffly. I don't know exactly how you'd rectify that (as a beginner myself!) but maybe put the right arm in a more natural relaxed position. Or maybe it's the fact that they're holding something but not actually using it....
I do like your detailed traditional works though. I've never understood how people can do that from imagination *_*
Keep going!

awsome studies!
I like your elaborate head dress piece :3

thank you everybody!
Most of the detailed stuff (flowers, patterns,...) are things i have drawn for so long already I don't really use reference for them anymore.
The multiple lines comment is something i heard from my teacher before while drawing cubes. I hoped it was something that would improve by drawing a lot, apparently it isn't. I'll try to focus on that. (i hope i don't sound like i'm giving too much excuses!)
anyway, some new stuff! It's not so much, bit busy visiting friends i haven't seen for a while, and then a trip to Italy!

1. some fish from the zoo.
2. a failed cheetah and some poses from imagination.
3. Dragon!
4. another pose from imagination. The head didn't really work out.

Wow, it has been so long ago i last posted here, i'm actually quite ashamed. So here is some homework/ sketchstuff from in between all the books, essays, stopmotion, blogs,.... for school.(even though they are only few)
1-3 are selfportraits, which we have to edit later.
4 are some doodles. I have some more, but my teacher still has them
5 is an insect we had to make from a praying mantis, a beetle and a wasp.
6 are sketches for key locations.
7-8 are digital drawings I no longer want to finish.
