Beautiful stuff dude - hope to see more! Not much more to say sorry

[shyamshriram]

WOW comment from the Pro ! Thanx a tonne !
Yep now will post MORE...very soon

[Form]

dude, nice~

you have searched out the forms of your subjects geometrically - and it seems you can do this with some proficiency and speed - you got a lot done at the zoo. Your work shows lovely depth - you can obviously concieve the 3d forms in your mind as you draw.

As with all high-level critiques, its not a matter of what your doing wrong but what else you could be doing right,,,

At the moment it feels like your works are all 'dummies'. They lack general 'uniqueness' that could be granted by conceptual elements (costume and jewellery, weaponry and so on). Granted these are your studies - and having not seen your finished works this may be moot, but at the moment it just looks a little like your trying to learn the construction of everything and you could be adding a lot of texture and detail to really bring the 'wow' conceptual factor.

Very nice work, very animatic. Well done!

[Form]

by the way, my fave is the female robot character with the half-face mask. I feel like here you have paid attention to the details, rendered with a lot of expression and it generally feels like there is conceptual depth (albeit a cliche general idea, who cares, its a sketch). Reminds me of insane visions' work from about this time last year. Go for that expressive all over tonal work.

Cool, bye!

Beautiful work, man. Yours is a very clean and elegant style. I like esp. your pencil studies and those watercolors. You also seem to touch every single known technique! I'll keep an eye on you.

I rarely give stars but I think this thread needs more attention, so there they go!

[Form]

awesome! nothing to critique this time, just bloody great work man,,

by the way im finding watercolours hard (not in a sense of how do i paint with them, i know that, its finding a way to achieve the right colours with it) but any tips on painting with w/c in general would be greatly appreciated!

ciao

So much great art man, i'm impressed. By the way, did you go to an art school in India. Just wondering. Wish I can visit again. Great sketchbook, keep it up.
