Katsenhakeron's Sketchbook

**Katsenhakeron** · January 16th, 2013, 01:30 AM

Hey guys. I've always wanted to make an account but always been way too intimidated to start. But now that I'm in my 3rd and final year of Illustration and Design, I figured now was as good a time as ever to get on here. Critiques are more than welcome; it's the main reason I joined here. My main focus is portrait work, but I'm trying to practice in everything.

Welcome to CA : )
First of all, the colors on the portrait are very nice. My only problem with it is that it seems a little flat. You could've pushed the contrast higher on the nose, mouth and eyes to bring them forward whilst fading out the cheeks a bit to give a sense of depth.
Curious to see more of your work.

Much appreciated, Sleep.less! I'll upload some older stuff right now. Semester starts in two days so I'm not gonna have much time to do daily sketches like I did during break.

Quick practice before starting a bigger piece.

They all look very good. Love the color work. : )
Again, on future pieces, try to emphasize the lines on the nose/chin to give them a sense of depth. There are a bunch of lines that are the same size and it makes them look flat.

Ahh! Lee Van Cleef - ol' "Angel Eyes" - love it!

Definitely going to try it in future pieces; thanks for the advice!

Work in progress. With such little time for anything besides school and work, I'm doing to try and get this done before March Break, if possible.

Playing around with markers and watercolour together. Really fun results!
