This is the longest I have spent on a study yet...

**n1frit** · June 20th, 2011, 02:58 AM

Great live painting and anatomy study! I see your good shapes, value and color understanding! Last one just awesome!

**Amara91** · June 20th, 2011, 03:06 AM

Man you improved like phuk in these past 2 years. Regardless if you lost passion or not, you've been working hard.

**GEB** · June 20th, 2011, 05:55 AM

Wow amazing lines in your old posts, but the new stuff is off the chain! Such rich colours and that sea monster is wicked!

**fudgeloaf** · June 20th, 2011, 08:40 PM

Had to say again, great still life sea legs 7 hours straight ? daaaamn was this natural light that kept changing then as well ?

**NickyBeats** · June 20th, 2011, 10:40 PM

damn Sealegs! your attention to details in the last study is really amazing! thats a truly awesome piece man!

**Not_Deadman** · June 21st, 2011, 01:36 AM

wow! amazing progress! That last still life is so badass! Like, literally, that gun and the wine... it's like you're a secret agent who really likes to draw! For your anatomy studies on page 4, may I ask what your references were? Your work is really getting better with each update! I cant wait to see more!

**Teundeboer** · June 21st, 2011, 03:53 AM

Sweet studies, and I really like your lines and the way you break up your figures. The only thing I can think of is that you should try to play close attention to your edges. There are some moments in your digital work, mostly with the faster studies that your images could really benefit from a couple of strong hard edges. But also in this last still life, which is great by the way, the top left of the apple has a somewhat fuzzy edge. I'm telling you this because people have been telling it to me. ^^

**Sealegs** · June 23rd, 2011, 12:07 PM

Yautja892 - Thanks man!
n1frit-Thanks!
Amara91- haha, it really feels like i did nothing last year

, i need to work twice as hard this year!
strangedawn- Thanks- i really feel like i learned some stuff on that last one
MacTire- thanks
agelaos- haha -you look really golden to me!
GEB- Thanks
NickyBeats - Thanks!
fudgeloaf- It was split between a morning and an evening the lighting was just from a desk lamp, i actually put a blanket up on the window to block the natural light, i wanted to keep it simple with one light source
Not_Deadman- many of those were studies from Bammes pdfs i told you about

Teundeboer-Thanks- yeah edges are something i've only even been thinking about recently really... still trying to understand them

mostly 2min gestures from past few mornings...
used a pose file book and some stuff on the computer for ref- there a some from imagination mixed in... I've been using ps so much it kinda spoiled me, so im trying to use pencil more...

**Sealegs** · June 25th, 2011, 02:49 AM

More studies! Feel like im learnin a bunch!

tried to use some of Hannes' technique i learned from his streams:

+ A crappy witch sketch- i need to work on the balance/posing -the legs always give me too much troubles

**agelaos** · June 25th, 2011, 06:24 AM

Damn awesome studies man. Shining brighttttt. Was about to go to sleep, but now gonna do a still life, fuck.

**Tugelbend** · June 25th, 2011, 06:26 AM

Your studies are pretty damn awesome

**MacTire** · June 25th, 2011, 06:55 AM

Fantastic studies matey!
Keep it up!

**vatteh** · June 25th, 2011, 12:16 PM

Great studies!! Really love the figure work and still life, especially the one with the paint brushes. Very well explanation of light on the metallic surfaces.

**Mike L** · June 25th, 2011, 12:20 PM

Beautiful work!

**Trefle** · June 25th, 2011, 12:47 PM

Absolutely breathtaking. Wow.

The still life is just...
...wow. You can get the subtle shading change, and the color, and it actually looked smooth and sharp yet believable.

Wow.

**wreck** · June 25th, 2011, 01:54 PM

wow man, your color control is ridiculous. very sharp eye you have there! bravo!

**Not_Deadman** · June 25th, 2011, 02:46 PM

Damn I love those studies! Hopefully with practice, my hand eye coordination will get there too! Keep up the great work!
BTW, how big is the paper you use to make those 2 min studies! They look wonderful! I think I need a larger sketchbook since I use 8 x 11 and I'm having a hard time drawing multiple figures on the same page without running out of room after 2-3 figures

**Loathsome** · June 25th, 2011, 05:16 PM

Great studies. Makes me want to bust out a still life too!

**NickyBeats** · June 25th, 2011, 05:34 PM

holy shit dude!! your killing it! love the figure studies!! your getting alot out of doing this! i need to copy this attitude... do or die!

**dU5K** · June 25th, 2011, 07:35 PM

vvveryy impressive work muh friend. like that armored turtle. keep at it!

**Rustveld** · June 25th, 2011, 07:43 PM

Great studies and still lifes! Looking forward to see more from you.

**Angel Intheuk** · June 27th, 2011, 05:53 AM

Wow! Your studies are awesome!!!

**Malakuko** · June 27th, 2011, 07:26 AM

cool stuff man! On the witch maybe make the legs a little skinnier and closer together. Not just saying because I think skinny legs are hot or something haha, infact I perfer a bit of meat you know

but yeah, it just seems like there out of place, someone elses legs.

**Tuesday** · June 27th, 2011, 07:36 AM
