Great work. I love the structural quality in your work and the way you handel the charcoal and conte`. As far as any advice, I think you are off to a great start, just more drawing. Really good stuff here.

These are really nice figure drawings you have done. You seem to have a strong grasp of all the basics. My only crit right now of them would be to watch the anatomy in the neck areas. On many of these figures, it is not as convincing as the rest of the structure.
Keep up the good work.

Oh, and one other thing...you might want to consider ditching the art-censoring nazis at photobucket and just uploading your pics directly here. Several of your images have apparantly violated their moronic "terms of service."

Suggestion: You might want to experiment with occasionally not drawing aspects of what you see when drawing from life , or at least thinking a little more about composition. For example there a several back views where a strong light hits the buttocks and then moves into black very black very quickly, creating a very strong contrast. What happens is I end up staring at the figure's [guess what(that's right)] ass. Start this out as an experiment and, if you're really interested in applying (very light) artistic license to life drawing, check out this book.

By the way, I'd appreciate if you'd check out my sketchbook. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a figure drawing class, but I hope you like it.

To Chromosome: Thank you~!!

To Kuroart: Thanks~too~

To MephistoLV: Thanks you first!! you do point out one of my weaknesses; ya, I did't really study the structure and anatomy of human's neck seriously. I think I would go back to book stack and review it~

To Zaxser: Thanks for your input.very useful comment!!
