[FraserMcT]

Awesome! You totally deserve the scholarship, do yourself proud. Keep up the good work bro.

[PHATandy]

Congratulations on the scholarship.
Id never found your sketchbook until today and you totally deserve it, youve been working hard - but keep it up and make the most of it!
I would have been all over TAD if it was around 3 years ago when i started my art education.

Keep it up and good luck with TAD

great work here. and congrats on the scholarship, I can tell you got it for a reason, even though this is my first time checking out your sketchbook. I've got a question: what media are you using for the values in those figure drawings? it looks like a graphite stick, but I can't be sure.

[sketcheth]

Lovely work man, you never stop cranking, do you? Congrats on the scholarship as well, I can relate, sometimes the scholarships, as great as the are, just aren't enough. But hey, keep at it! Next time for sure! Peace!

[Huey Yeng]

Nice updates bro. You could have render out the leaves with much more details and yeah the shapes do looks odd to me. Refer to photos of plants if you must too.

[Koto]

Those Figures studies are a thing of great beauty.

[PHATandy]

I had a little look at your figures since u asked so nicely about critiques and spotted a few things. Mostly it seems to be revolving around your sort back/shoulders and then the neck. In quite a few of your figures your sort of disjointing the head a lot with a flimsy neck, the head needs to feel more rigidly connected down the spine, and to the back. maybe its because ure pushing your heads up quite high in those male figure drawings, the neck comes off as a bit dis-jointed, like the bottom 2 in this picture. Its good in some of them though. Your linework is real great too, love how it flows around the anatomy.

Hope its not too nitpicky but i thought it might be something just for your to consider and look into.
You keep a lovely sketchbook keep it up.

[Kambei Shimada]

Loving the last figure studies!!

The redhead is gorgeous. Pencil work is nice too.

[Kyendo]

Your sketches are outstanding. And you figure studies... wow.

[Kan Muftić]

Her right leg is too thin, mate. And the left forearm looks a bit strange. But a lovely piece overall

[Sebastian Gromann]

wow dude

[Icecold]

As for scanning, i find that doing that on a high dpi is not always the best choice, so I scan it on 150 dpi, then lower the gamma abit if needed. ( 99% of the time it IS needed )

[AndreasM]

Kickass! I need to catch up!

[llex_paul]

i like that girl, from the last illustration. it's great!

[sketcheth]

You're putting us all to shame man, this is looking stellar... Beautiful paintings. I really like the tank speedie a lot. It all looks pretty fantastic to me. I will say that I don't quite understand where the hand that's holding the sword is going in this bottom-most painting. Nice work, sir. Nice work.

[teapo]

great updates mr. MC2 really love your figure studies and your digitals are amazing xD i really have no crits for you at the moment but just to keep on going.

[bumskee]

keep going mate, coming along nicely. can't wait to see where you in near future. whoop!

[kojot]

Watts school gives you good skill!
please keep it up !

[SamC]

So tasty

[UrbanHermit]

You have made some excellent progress over the past three years. I think you have a handle of colour as shown from your paintings done from photo reference and you sketches look loose yet detailed. I have not much to say except keep up the hard work and I will visit here often because I really like your SB.

[domo arigato]

Man..dude..man.

Seriously want to draw like you. Watts is doing you good. Your edges are superb!

[FabioGhibli]

It's really refreshing to see such a great progress. Great effort, congrats.

[Fetsch]

Hey mc2mc2 you have an awesome sketchbook going! Love those figure Studies from the dA ref. Everything just great..love it
