You possess alot of energy, one thing i would suggest is try doing some anatomy sketches from a few of the various anatomy books out there. You shoudn't have much problem due to the fact that portraits are one of your strengths (which can be one of the most challenging aspects of art. Keep it up.

I work 2 full time jobs so i have to get the ideas down before i forget them.The first three are ideas I want to paint (oil)the last digi.I found helpful to digisketch my painting first to work out color and such.Becuase i have so little time I think it will help me with speed.I still cant get whats in my head onto the screen or canvis but I will keep trying and thanx to everyones help I think someday ill figure it 8)

This one looks like fun! interesting idea. cant wait to see the finished one. =)

from what i can see in your color sketches you could work on creating more harmony in your color pallette. right now the colors seem to be fighting eachother. try using simpler color schemes. analogous colors or complimentary colors with slight variations in them.

right now the neon blues on reds and the neon blue on the yellow is really distracting and hard on the eye.

that said the technique in a few of your digipaintings could eventually lead to a great style. the lack of fear is apparent in all of your stuff. youll lay down a color and if you dont like it you lay a different one right on top of it.

look at huricane's stuff for a little inspiration. he lays down very opaque colors as well. he could be someone you could learn a lot from.

trying to incorperrate some of them there crits (simple colors,contrast,solid brushes,yada yada)

Umm.. nice face, This is 'tended to be the human face without any skin ?

[TheDonut]

Looking good I agree with roidvoid about colour, but the latest one is a big improvement. I especially like your black and white samurai sketches. Keep it up

[LexMedden]

wow your art is awesome!!! 8D
I love your colouring!

[BANNED_For_POOPY_PANTS]

Grandmassa, besides this being one kickass sketchbook, your positive atitude, willingness to learn and dediaction -- not to mention the fact that you're also holding down two jobs atm -- is seriously impressive and inspiring.

Fantastic job.

My favs are your value studies and oen/pencil works. A lot of the painted pieces look superb in terms of composition and design, but could use a little more refining and definition. All in all, you are one seriously talented dude.

[Rodneydollah]

Just thought I’d stop in and take a look. Cruising through the thread I noticed great progress in each and every post. My favs are the experimental pieces. Keep it up!

[dark_maggot]

Hay man, Thanks for the Comment. ^_^

Nice stuff, nice use of color. The one I really like is the 3rd one on the 1st post, the huge machine thing, it has a really nice atmosphere.

Keep it up.

my friend is a DJ at this cool spot in seattle and he wanted me to design him a flyer to help permote wadda ya think?( i wanted to make it suttly eye catching hense the over saturation and coloring but with an intresting subject)

[alesoun]

I'm with 28chelseaslater! I'd like to see that one finished! I'd take another look at the legs on the girl in your last one, though. They look as if they are connected halfway down the thigh (might be a lighting issue).

[SMILEFACE]

gotta go back to work but ill work on both pics ( 3 in da moun'n) thanx 4 all the comments

[Fishspawn]

Hey man, great progress since i last stopped by. Your newer digis are looking good and i love those doodle pages. I think your most recent digi has a little too much saturation in the colors again. I have that same problem and what i do to correct it is i just make everything about half as saturated as I think it should be. That seems to give me about the right colors. Also I think it would be better if you could avoid the glowing effects (I do way too many of those myself and i'm realizing it is just a cover-up for my lazy painting.) Keep up the hard work, I'm looking forward to your next updates!

[SMILEFACE]

iknow the colors kinda clash but i like the idea of the uneasy feeling or strain on the eye call me crazy

[SMILEFACE]

unfinished

[darkchild]

Hey there! Cool stuff in here. Thanks for checking out my work I want to say that your digitals are very good. Proportions of your faces need to be worked on slightly. I know my faces need a tremendous amount of work seeing how I place my main focus on my bodies. I know nothing about coloration so I won't comment on that. Very nice work, I'll be back to check up on your updates!

[alesoun]

I still like post 56. Show us the story behind it. Could be funny; could be scarey yet.....

[SMILEFACE]
