I really love your digital paints --- do more of those !

**ApolloNuevo** · June 21st, 2005, 03:28 PM

you have some nice pencil work up top. however your digital is lacking the finesse of those...a lot of us work digitally over traditional media, i would suggest that to you...much as an oil painter will rough in on his canvas and go from there, so do many digital painters...just a suggestion.

a strong drawing, w/ weak paint...is still a strong drawing.

yea im familiar with that method but when im speedsketching like most of the digital stuff i've posted above, why bother, i just start blocking stuff in and throwing paint down! tryin to quickly establish shape and form. or i just sketch my line drawing within painter or ps. but thanks for the advice, i agree my digital lacks in finesse for sure!

**Pixeldragoon** · June 22nd, 2005, 10:24 AM

I like that girl you painted, very nice. Thought it was a photo at a quick glance. Good job on value!

Great stuff! I'd edit the first post and rename the thread if I were you though

I click around to see good non-mediocre stuff (or effort towards it), but as it turned out, there's nothing mediocre here. SB is looking great.

I agree about the sketchbook compositions - they're great. I tend to avoid that sort of thing since it's easier to use individual elements in later work when they're a la carte, but damn they sure look great.

Also, that digital chick looks great. The pencils do as well, but that chick really has a rare beauty. I'll be keep an eye out for, and looking forward to, updates.

Very cool sketchbook Stalsby. I'm really digging your linework, very sharp and defined. The style's already there. I'll be looking again into this sketchbook, so post more! Cheers man.
