Hi! I'm in your sketchgroup. And my names Justin. Cool. Anyways, your mountains are good looking, but they could be better mountains. Right now they seem more like grayish sand dunes. I like the sun up there, and the light play near the middle, but along with a orangeish shade, There would also be heavy shadows. And don't forget- Pointier, more seperated mountains!

Not much here except I think you shuld connect it at the bottom, otherwise a branch that heavy would be bending. Plus it'd look better. other than that, not much crit. No crits on the tank!

Keep it up man! I'm going to assume you did these in Painter? *Wants Painter ='(*

**JustinBeckett** · April 14th, 2005, 02:21 PM

Hey thanks man

yea i just joined up in the group, this shall be fun

What do you guys think about doing weekly themes?

As for your question, these werent done in painter except the bottom one, the first 2 are photoshop. An yeah, that mountains would be more like dunes.. Maybe i shoulda called them, abduilen dunes...

I have to say that I love that tank pic. I also very much dig the style of the "Bloody Innocence" pic... although that title sounds like a complaint..."That bloody innocence keeps buggering my myth up!"
The top pic looks like a moonscape, but well done.

**IanE** · April 14th, 2005, 03:25 PM

Those mountains look great. Very strong start to your sketchbook! Like the contrasts on the tank piece, good work.

Looking forward to more posts.

Ian

Update 2: Some more sketches.

**Sara-San** · April 15th, 2005, 09:59 PM

I like the composition of the forest scene, the bridge balances the business of the trees

The man looks a bit off.. I think it's because the shoulder holding all the weight needs to be down to show that the bag and umbrella have substance.

**JustinBeckett** · April 16th, 2005, 12:17 AM

thanks man, i love how your the only one that commented from the group. what are people doing

**Sara-San** · April 16th, 2005, 11:48 PM

**Profil** · April 17th, 2005, 07:02 AM

hey dude sorry, I just saw that I was in the SB group, here it goes:
The enviroments are looking good, though you should do some practice from life/photos, or more if you alreday do

well We´re students our hole life.
and on this painting: http://img148.echo.cx/img148/6981/hi...mbrella4nf.jpg
The face is somewhat of and the hand is to small, and I also think his wrist could be a bit bigger.

Hope it helps buddy

**Sara-San** · April 19th, 2005, 10:06 PM

**JustinBeckett** · April 20th, 2005, 03:09 AM

**Sara-San** · April 20th, 2005, 06:46 PM

I promise too anyway. ^_^

**Tariq** · April 21st, 2005, 04:33 AM

You got some good stuff here justin. i think you should use a bit more reference material just to get your eye used to some form and detail. But I also think you should do some stuff completely out of your imagination.
keep posting,
Cheers,
T.

**JustinBeckett** · April 22nd, 2005, 01:55 AM

Tariq thanks man

Profil: sorry d00d, yeah im gonna start updating this way more... ahh, i am always working on soo many things at once.. Here is a quick, 25 min sketch, from my sketchbook, done today.

**Profil** · April 22nd, 2005, 08:47 PM

hey dude, cool man

On the pic: well its a cool idea but I think it would be much better if you focused on one area and tried to clean it up

**Sara-San** · April 22nd, 2005, 10:53 PM

Wow, for a 25 min pic, that's pretty good. I'd complain a bit about the composition, since it really doesn't draw your eye to anything in particular, but it looks like you used a ref.

**JustinBeckett** · April 24th, 2005, 03:40 PM

thankks guys..."shit" gotta update again.

**JustinBeckett** · April 29th, 2005, 01:21 AM

Just some stuff, from my sketchbook, the first one was scanned crooked, i need to rescan.

**JustinBeckett** · April 30th, 2005, 05:15 AM

A little sketch for ya

**Profil** · May 1st, 2005, 12:05 PM

looking good

but the last monsters nose seems kinda pointed more at his right and down then the other part of the head

**Sara-San** · May 1st, 2005, 04:43 PM

^_^ I really like the environment scenes!

**JustinBeckett** · May 1st, 2005, 07:41 PM

yay! comments, lol , thanks guys!

**Dan1989** · May 2nd, 2005, 01:23 AM

Yup, great stuff. On the red monster, his/her ear on (my) right side looks a little too low, IMO. I'd love to see some anatomy studies or drawings from life. Hope to see more cool stuff by you!

**JustinBeckett** · May 2nd, 2005, 06:57 AM

Hey dan, welcome to the group

Thanks for your comments, yeah i really have to do some anatomy practise and really want to, but what i really wanna do with the anatomy studies, are draw from ref photos, any idea of where to get good ones, meaning magazines.. not the net..?

Oh yea, here is another piece, i did tonight.

**JustinBeckett** · May 2nd, 2005, 08:57 PM
