**dannE-B** · January 8th, 2006, 09:33 PM

Hi everyone. last time i posted work on these forums was about a year ago to this month. Here i am again a year older Still at College doing my art course, but i dont feel its enough. So i decided to start this in order to keep me drawing as much as i can.C+C please. NEW ONES AT THE BOTTOM!!

I really like your gesture drawings. They're very flowing and full of life, as opposed to your more refined drawings which seem a little stiff. Try integrating what you learn from those loose gesture drawings into your more refined drawings. That, coupled with some anatomy studies, and you're gold.

You're off to a great start. Keep it up, I'll be rooting for you.

something else. I will have more to post Soon.

**dannE-B** · January 11th, 2006, 12:38 PM

I went out the other day and bought myself a Womans Hair Style magazine so heres the first 3 sketches from that, And the other page is random things.I also bought an animal and Wildlife book to use as practice.

**dannE-B** · January 12th, 2006, 04:51 PM

**dannE-B** · January 12th, 2006, 07:11 PM

)

Hey man! The stuff in here looks good, mate!
Just keep working on the usual. Anatomy, rendering, line quality, and so on.

Do more gestral drawings, they really stand out from the rest, Superman's face is really distorted, and the cape could use work, keep it up.

**dannE-B** · January 14th, 2006, 04:27 PM

Thankyou Flaskpost i intend to work on all these things and MORE!

yes your absolutley right asoir, the face did turn out wrong, i had no time to correct it though and the same goes for the cape..i lost the looseness of the cape in the painting process. Thanks for your words.

Your gestures are really good, free and dynamic, but other stuff seems a bit flat. It s a good start, keep it up, do some anatomy and shading studies, and you ll be real good. I love the monsters

**arya** · January 17th, 2006, 05:54 PM

wow....good sketches here..... as fooxoo said...Ur gestures r really good....May be ur sketches will look better if u try avoiding the midtones.....they make it too flat.
keep posting......

**dannE-B** · January 18th, 2006, 02:21 PM

Thankyou Arya for your nice comments and suggestions, i will try this.

**gmags** · January 18th, 2006, 08:29 PM

Cool sketches prophet. Try more life studies and try to capture people walking in less than 10 secs. Keep posting.

**dannE-B** · January 19th, 2006, 04:20 PM

i took peoples advice and did some more gestural work and did some anatomy studies too. hope you enjoy.

**dannE-B** · January 19th, 2006, 05:04 PM

lol forgot one, hmm maybe that was a good thing, anyways here we go.

**arya** · January 20th, 2006, 10:55 PM

cool ones.........U got a good sense of gesture man...... I like the way they r natural and dynamic. keep it coming......

**MrBobMarley** · January 20th, 2006, 11:17 PM

The figure gestures are a strong point and you'll only get better, just keep practicing. One thing I strongly suggest is to work on your faces.

**dannE-B** · January 21st, 2006, 03:38 PM

thankyou Arya and Bob i really appriciate your comments. I do need more practice with the faces, ive started studying womans faces because thats what i struggle with. Thankyou.

Nice characters !

I have a question..

??

**dannE-B** · April 10th, 2006, 12:24 PM

thanks dile, thats just coffee sploshed on me paper before-hand.

**Tenelaus** · April 10th, 2006, 01:03 PM

You've got some great observational skills man, those lifedrawings are a lot more advanced than your imaginative work, I think the reason being that you just need to spend more time and thought on your imaginative drawings - you're starting to do it with those latest ones I think. Loads of improvement here, keep it up!

**Njord-E55** · April 10th, 2006, 05:23 PM

Last one is looking jolly good. Did you use any kind of ref for the pose? There is a good sense of motion in the picture. THe one adjecent to it is not that good in my opinion. To myne limbs going in to many directions, and also the anatomy is a bit wierd. Keep making more drwings like the last one.
