Good work!
But it would you would get much better if you do studies. Bones, muscles, shading, etc.
These pics look good though. Try and be more clean with your lines. Be as exact as possible with what you want.
Anyway, all of this will come with practice, so dont stop !!

Even funny cartoon characters look better if they have their basis in reality

Very cool robots, the attention to detail on them is fantastic. Your people are pretty good too, although more practice definitely helps.

On your last coloured pic: her position is very strange, kind of straight but with her knees benth out at odd angles. It's possisible to get into that position but hard to stay that way, especially in a moving vehicle like the one you have her in. Although now that I think of it, maybe she's a robot... she's human enough on top to still make it look strange though. Also, aside from the bra there isn't much to suggest that it is a woman - a smaller waist might help there? The neck is also a little thick and long. I do really like the feeling of movement you've got in it though.

**Dile_** · March 14th, 2006, 10:10 AM

hehe... she have no knees...

she is cutted of in the middle, and the rest is a Robot thingy

but I take your advice absolutly

I hope you dont feel like
im thinking about your advice as nothing, cause all of what you have said in my thread I really take into my head

Well, I post ups some anatomy stuff when i got home tonight..
Thx for your replys

Keep posting!

**Dile_** · March 15th, 2006, 01:06 PM

First off, my speed paint wich im extremly happy about how it turned out

**Dile_** · March 16th, 2006, 06:43 AM

I did this one at Youdraw.com

)

**Dile_** · March 16th, 2006, 08:25 PM

Edit* Shortened my loooooong thread down abit.. tell me if I should do that more!

Most recent from Artground.com

**Recursive_End** · March 16th, 2006, 10:54 PM

hehe good stuff going on here. About long threads, well, no i think its a good idea. It shows us that you do draw alot

Keep going !!

**LukeTores** · March 16th, 2006, 11:43 PM

Cool stuff, man. I agree with most of the comments made.

I'd like to see some finished, tight work. Although it's good, everything you've posted is very sketchy. I'm just guessing, and might be totally wrong, but it seems like you sketch fast any don't often get into fine detail. Maybe this is what Denysiuk was trying to say. It'll probably help you out to draw very precisely from reference, trying to make what you draw as close to the reference in form and value as possible.

**~Faust~** · March 17th, 2006, 01:22 AM

Yom get in the details man!

I'd recomment you usign some harder brushes, too. Your painting will be much more readable that way.

**Nokill** · March 17th, 2006, 01:45 AM

the scetches are getting some better only the coloring can use a lot of work

**Dile_** · March 17th, 2006, 06:10 AM

Recursive_End: Thx man

I gotta give something finished a go then

Luke: yeah I draw fast , but alot.. im going for the shapes and proporations
like Densysiuk said.
Faust: I dont know if youve seen Sketcher: but
its very hard to get a big brush in there without Pressuring the tablet pen all
the way down....

**Dile_** · March 17th, 2006, 01:04 PM

I gotta learn lighting better.. checked the Prometheus| tutorial
about lighting and shapes..
but I didnt had so much time...
But I did this one.. not so much based on the descriptions of Prom

**Dile_** · March 20th, 2006, 03:06 PM

digital!!

Did this one as a collab with another guy

**~Faust~** · March 20th, 2006, 05:14 PM

hahahaha you got owned ! Very nice

**Chichigo** · March 20th, 2006, 05:16 PM

steady improvement, very good. Man with sword is very dramatic, and he's standing underneath the one ring to rule them all, yes!. ;p

**Threshold** · March 20th, 2006, 06:19 PM

Dile, your anatomy practice pages were looking really good. I do a lot of tech stuff, but what really does wonders for me is practicing life drawings and anatomy.

**Dile_** · March 21st, 2006, 10:11 AM

hey Thx everyone !!
I love when you guys post in my sketchbook

Chichigo : its very nice to hear that !
Threshodl: more , alot more anatomy then

**Dile_** · March 21st, 2006, 02:47 PM

well, Im not so good drawing after reference...
but well, some time gotta be the first

**~Faust~** · March 21st, 2006, 04:00 PM

It's actually not bad! I'd suggest you use the method described in the PS-Painting thread for starters (Goey herey) but it seems you are already using some similar technique. Do some more! Train your eye! You'll rock in no time!

**Bloodsbane** · March 21st, 2006, 05:48 PM

Dude! Looks like you're improving at a tremendous rate!
The speedpaint with the guy on the stairs is very nice. Whatever you're doing is working, keep it up

**Dile_** · March 22nd, 2006, 03:35 AM

its really nice to hear that you think im improving

well. thats my goal, to be better and better

Faust: Ive already seen that link, and I have toke some advice from there
+ the prometheus tutorial about lighting

Bloodsbane: hey thx!
I will!

Did this one when I woke up this morning

(it feels easier for me to start drawing on the white screen now, if i just compare with some week ago !! )

**Dile_** · March 22nd, 2006, 05:20 AM

more stuff by ref..

(I know the phone looks ugly but it was a quick since my school buss will
go off in less then 20 min, and now i gotta hurry since its 2,6 kilometres out to the buss, and I have no bike !!)

**Denysiuk** · March 22nd, 2006, 08:53 AM

Ok yeah, you are getting MUCH better... keep on drawing from nature, it seems to help you... maybe it's YOUR part of art

**Dile_** · March 22nd, 2006, 11:21 AM

woow

Denysiuk think im getting better

then I guess its true!
but well drawing from life and reference isnt really a category
its a studie like every else studies...
its a way to get better, get colors and shapes..
not something you work with

so useing a ref is only a way to help me understand light and
shapes, proporations etc.. ya you know

well I gotta draw something wich isnt on my desk now

so I come up later with some updates

**Dile_** · March 22nd, 2006, 04:02 PM

well heres a speed paint before bed..
im tired

**Denysiuk** · March 22nd, 2006, 04:05 PM

Just, just... just don't do that

stay where you are! make some bigger steps in drawing realistic things and then try to do something by yourself, ok? Please?
Edit: to late...

but its better than older ones...

**JeroArt** · March 22nd, 2006, 04:25 PM

Like the last one, cool to see u improve!
Downloaded that loomis stuff too, some handy stuff.
Realy have to learn anatomy myself soon.

Keep it up!

**Seer** · March 22nd, 2006, 06:11 PM

Had to stop by after your kind words.

I haven't got anything in particular to comment on but I just wanted to tell you to keep up what you're doing, particularly drawing/painting from reference! Maybe you should also stop worrying about backgrounds and concentrate on the figures for now.

Stay well!

**NikitaDarkstar** · March 22nd, 2006, 06:32 PM

The only thing I don't like about that last one is the brush you used in the background, the leafbrush don't really feel right with a robot you know? the bot looks cool though could probably be really cool if you ever decided to make it less sketchy you know?
