This was a 30 minute charcoal drawing :/

Great line weight and quality in that self portrait! I'm guessing it is a self portrait at least hehe... nice start, let's see mooorrreee

With the figure watch out with shading along the edges, it will make it look more flat! With studies, you'll see the basic shapes and with squinting, see the overall light hierarchy ! blah I'm bad with explaining, but keep it up!

[Shmaba]

This thread needs more update

[Connie Cane]

Looks great! I love the shading and the self portrait.
Keep it up! =)

Nice rendering on the bells! And the other paintings look nice too!
Keep it up!

[Shmaba]

[Shmaba]

[Shmaba]

[Shmaba]

After looking through MindCandyMan's sketchbook. I'm posting whatever pictures i make everyday, regardless of how bad they are.
Tear my art apart; i want to be critiqued, not praised.

[Shmaba]

I found some pages of Bridgman's "Constructive Anatomy" online...

[darkwolfb87]

Hey Shaun,

Nice efforts so far. I look forward to meeting you at the next sketch-group. I love to critique so the more you update your SB, the more I will respond

I've missed a few days

[Jamie Romoser]

keep it up!

[Shmaba]

Another Teen Challenge WIP I don't think I'll get to finishing

[MarkWinters]

Great angle on the dragon! let that gold color bounce onto the creature. Differentiate the colors of the environment near the viewer and the parts farther away. Finish this one!

[TLL]

Come on just finish the dragon. You've got some hours left.
I really like the composition. I think it is one of the best compositions in this TC round ! Just create a nice rendering and my vote is yours

[Blaz]

Hi there!
Love those charcoal (am I right?) still lifes and other studies!
As for painting, its going along nicely! Just try to avoid unintentional smudgy edges, try to sharpen it a bit.

Oh and as for dragon: Same what MarkWinters told you!

[petitemistress]

hey there fellow SSG-er! I dig how youfind shapes thru color in that last WIP, its too bad if you dont finish it...

Compositionally speaking, I like how the tail's arc resonates with the direction of the wings, I think personally I would tilt the head upward on the dragon to give it more... oompf? also, I second Mark on the reflected light comment, and I'd tone down the yellow in the foreground a notch, to draw attention/saturation to the main subject; the Dragon.

[Shmaba]

Sketching a study from picture in PS and tried out a few new brushes. I should get something serious done

[MarkWinters]

Brushes in PS is teh kewl! Keep going buddy!

[Shmaba]

I was a bit bored so I decided to practice using texture in a picture.
