    do not be afraid to mule over a gesture sketch. be sure that when doing a gesture, the marks you place have purpose, are acurate, keep them light, and are clean and rememberable before you begin to renender. after all, why waist your time hitting the nail if you haven't aimed?

    well nadim these sketches are really impressive.

    It seems that your skeleton drawing practice really did you some good. I have only one thing to tell you, is that finally you are on the track to having a style of your own, you develop yourself quickly and you have the talent for that.

    keep it up man

    Nice Work

    Mr Nadim
    I guess u have finally succeeded in achieving something instead of the Billiard thing, cz I think U r mastering ur colored drawings, instead of mastering Billiards that u will never reach to master cz there is someone outhere is a real master, I think u know him, his name is " 00 DIAB"......
    Anyway, let us get serious, those dwgs. are really pieces that really deserve to meditate in, really... very strong, matching & expressive colours. I like'em veru much.... why don't u try to do something from reality then... I think u will surprise us,.....so I am waiting to see more.... very very nice work...keep it up

    I like your pencil use in Shaher.jpg, the strokes all following the same direction is effective. The shells would be much better if they were larger, same with the taro too. They look like good things to study the texture of, and that would be so much easier if you drew them bigger (I am making an assumption on their size based of the size of the sketchbook binding rings of course )

    I like that one realistic portrait the best! I would suggest doing more of those studies from real life, and what you pick up will carry over into what you sketch just out of your head. keep it up!
