[no87]

working on characters from 1984 at the moment. trying to picture O'brien like an old school teacher that would come across quite calm and collected but be able to snap very fast.

[AlexTooth]

Wow the improvement on this page alone is pretty amazing!

The pencil anatomy studies are brilliant.

Keep it uppppp

[GEB]

Great studies and your line art is lovely.

[Tadas]

update your sketchbook!

[SLIMEface]

Hey dude, James off your course stumbled upon this while looking at some blogs,

Everything is looking great but you should try shifting your hue more and relying less on value to turn form. Also feel as if sometimes your jumping into rendering too fast when there are still some problems with structure but that is something I am guilty of too!

Keep it up bro

[Fetsch]

crazy stuff man, lots of improvement! love what i am seeing here.

[Koto]

Man you've been working hard! Characters are looking solid.

[Zidartha]

Wow, awesome sketchbook! Just looked through everything and your improvements are really inspiring, keep it up!

[BADOMENS]

That's an awesome sketchbook, you've inspired me to improve a lot! I love the colours and how accuate your studies are.

thanks man. its a mixture of using a basic round brush and an air brush mainly. using the air brush to get stuff down and the round to define it.
