Hi All,

This is my first post ever here

I'm an animator and here's a peek into my sketchbook (mostly gestures from nudes). There's also a painting. Feel free to leave comments or critiques (I love critiques). Cheers.

I have some more sexually explicit stuff, but I'm too embarassed to share that. Porn is a great reference when it comes to studying foreshortening and the softness of the human body, which I find lots of photography in general tries to avoid. But it's not the easiest work to show.

Some more.

Quick line drawings to improve my economy of line.

And a tonal study to better understand the planes.

Yep. Uh-huh.

attempting to think in more compositional/design terms and "paint" with a pencil.

And do i just completely suck? I mean, not even a single comment. I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong

Hey Rajesh!

I really like your stuff - all your work has a lot of life to it! The lines are really dynamic. I have soft spot for your colour studies in particular - everything in post #2 is just great! And that very last drawing you posted? It' gorgeous! :0 Really ghost-like in a way, too.

Do you do any more stylised work, I wonder?
