[elboy]

[MrFrost]

good work and dedication!! be keeping on eye on this thread.

[miltonmaniac]

Syrogen / elboy / MrFrost :

Thanks alot guys for the comments. I've got to keep practicing, hopefully I'll get better. I'll try to post some more stuff soon.

Cheers.

[miltonmaniac]

Time for an update, I've been mostly trying to do heads for the last few days. I'll try and do something new for the next update.

Cheers.

[Jane Radstrom]

Oh my gosh! So many heads! You have alot of patience to draw them so many times! The face in your final painting is much nicer than the faces mingled with your heads. The page with noses - remember that with the head so nicely in 3-d the nose is also a 3-d shape with width and dimension. It may help to study it's attatchment as a wedge shape with a bottom plane instead of just a 2-d triangle.

wow u keep that up your gnna be amazing

[miltonmaniac]

Thanks alot for comment, I'll watch out for the thing about the noses.

liam.c:
Thanks man, I'll try keeping it up.


On with the update, been busy so not alot of sketches have been done. But I have managed to do a few.


I'm no to happy with this one as his face is skewed and it didn't pass the "flip test" but I coloured it in anyway.


I posted these two in another thread, but since this is my sketchbook, there are no rules so I'll post here as well.



Relatively happy with this one BUT it did not come out like the reference pic.


Cheers.

[miltonmaniac]

Update time!

[miltonmaniac]

No time for Mr sketch book this week. I'll try to do some more stuff soon. Ok well I've decided to do at least one Master Copy per week, in the hope that I'll get better and hopefully learn something.

That's all for now.
Cheers.

[jetpack42]

wow dude, great studies. the only thing I'd say is keep advancing the difficulty of the exercises. keep adding a little bit until you get to your goal. awesome volume though, truely inspirational.

[miltonmaniac]

jetpack42:
Thanks a lot for the comment! True, I will try and add more variety in the sketchbook as I have been mostly doing head sketches. So stay tuned and I'll try and do some different stuff for the next update.

Some more head stuff, for now:

[Fallen11]

You have great amount of determination. It might just be me but some of those heads eye proportions look off. The eyes are one eye size apart, and half an eye to the side of the head. Very inspiring work here.

[Eew]
