Alexsons sketchbook (of doom)

[Kungfoowiz]

Hey bro, hope you keeping together there =) Latest hunk is great, interesting mouth shape too, not sure about the philtrum but hey it's good all the same! =) Keep studying what you don't know and working hard there, not sure how much time you got to draw but keep at it =)

[alexson]

SteFlack - Thanks man!
Kungfoowiz - Thank you! Trying to get at least a few hours every day in on workdays.

Did this over the weekend. Not sure if it's done yet.

[fudgeloaf]

Nice piece alexson you can definately push it more more more stick it to da man!

[Loathsome]

That new piece looks good, I like the idea of it.
However it could use some work. The hood doesn't follow the dudes head and a lot of the heads around him could use some tweaking.

The light comes from above but some of the heads doesn't get light from above. I also think you could push the light just slightly on the heads too because it doesn't really convince me since there's such a strong light on the guy in focus. Obviously that's an "focus of the image thing" but you would be better of giving some of the heads a little more light though.

I made a draw/paint over but the damn file is lost somewhere... naming stuff asd is not a good idea.

[Unlink40]

These works are great

[alexson]

fudgeloaf - Thanks man! But "push it more" doesn't really mean anything to me tough
Loathsome - Thanks bro. You're right about the light on the heads, I fixed 'em some to make it more consistent but I really don't want to put any more light on them because they aren't that important. Thanks for the feedback!
Unlink40 - Thanks!

Trying to keep this thread alive somewhat. Here's a commission thing I started tonight, the guy wanted a pinup but I steered him more into a illustrationish thing. I think it's more fun to do, less cliché. Poison Ivy from Batman.

[no87]

liking your recent updates man! also it was cool to find you on twitter recently

[Charmer]

Man your actual piece is awesome! Maybe some green or red would push it to the limit. It needs more mood, the composition is good imo. Keep that up. Great stuff dude.

[SteFlack]

Nice work man. I really like the dude with all the arms, such a cool image and I like that it tells a bit of story as well. Poison Ivy is looking good too, looking forward to seeing her finished.

[NickyBeats]

nice looking commission man! i looove poison ivy!!!! she is so hot. this is gonna be sweet!!

[fudgeloaf]

[alexson]

no87 - Thanks man!
Charmer - Thanks for stopping by, man!
SteFlack - Thanks mate
NickyBeats - Cheers! I agree!
fudgeloaf - Cheers mate!

Here's poison ivy finish. And a wip sketch for the next one on the pinup commission. Harley Quinn this time.

[Kungfoowiz]

Hey bro, Poison Ivy is great! =) Really like the leafy atmosphere you made in the piece =) That is an interesting crop you made for the finished piece, I'm not sure whether I would've made it a bit more centred, but it is interesting still =) The drawing for Harley gives a nice comp imho, really like that =) And I think you nailed her expression, would be just how I imagine her a bit naughty you know =) Great work in any case, think your figures are improving and you're getting the hands pretty good too =)

[zou]

hi dude

i stumbled across you sb, i can see improvement over pages

i liked many of your works

the last poison ivy post seems .... not your of level (sorry if i'm too honest)

did u used some referencing ?

some minor proportions issues: long neck, little big head ...

composition should be better (she is too far left and lack attitude)

i'm a bit harsh coz i saw your earlier works and you have talent can be taken further more

good luck with your nexts

[Mincx]

MMMM PIN UP SUPERHEROINES. Yum.

[Danny_K]

Right now your weakness is hands, do studies of those

[alexson]

Kungfoowiz - Thanks mate!
zou - Thanks for your critique, those sorts of comments are why I post here so thank you.
Mincx -
Danny_K - Thanks, you're right!

Here is WIP of Harley Quinn. Still a lot left to do.

[SteFlack]

Hey man, great job on poison ivy, she came out really nice and Harley Quinn is shaping up to be even better. You've posted some really nice work this month and its great to see you doing so well.

[Kungfoowiz]

Niiiiiiiccccceee! =) Lighting is jusst awesome! =) Would maybe add some nice lashes to her eyes =) It's great, keep up the awesome work!!! =)

[alexson]

SteFlack - Thanks bro!
Kungfoowiz -

So here's HQ finished. Also a shitty 30min portrait thing. I'm really missing doing more studies every day. I'm on the brink of quitting my shit job so I can paint more.

[AlexTooth]

Great updateage, Alex =) Painting skillz coming a long nicely!

To me there's a bit of a proportion issue with the heads on poison ivy and harley - kinda look a bit big or stylized, not sure if you were going for that!

[anamhaleem]

great deal of studies. awesome.

[rodriguez]

Hey alexson Harley's looking good, nice texture on the costume. I'd add a shadow under that middle bobble/bell thingy and darken the left hand side of her white neck piece it's looking a bit flat and floaty, a few random colour variations would look nice as well

[Kungfoowiz]

Yeah, fuck that job, just paint, and draw too =) Harley is awesome bro! =) The flame effects really add to her personality, think you did a sweet job on her costume too =) Maybe a bit more sparkle in her eyes, and a touch of lip gloss, just ideas =) Nice job in any case =) Keep up the awesome! =)

[yogeshj25]

great work man and neat site! keep it up!

[alexson]

AlexTooth - Thanks man! I know I always do the heads too big, its really annoying.
anamhaleem - Thanks man!
rodriguez - Thanks for the input, appreciate it!
Kungfoowiz - Thanks man! I just need to scrape together some $$ so I'll be ok for a few month while I study and stuff.
yogeshj25 - Thanks pal!

Here's a sketch for commission nr. 3 Catwoman.

[kidult]

Good job on the harley pic

[Kungfoowiz]

Haha, another awesome draw bro, think you really getting your faces right imho =) Loving the style too =) Just words of love tonight, I hope you are keeping well there =)

[Danny_K]

The Kitty looks good I especially like the punk face and expression you gave her nice clean lines... couple of suggestions though, make her weist wider its more attractive, her right hand with the whip is too short so is the left, the wrists should be about the line with the crutch, her legs seem to be off compared to the torso, keep up the hard work man.

[alexson]

kidult - Thanks!
Kungfoowiz - Thanks man!
Danny_K - Cheers
