Sketches, wips and so forth

**Finsterling** · December 17th, 2011, 08:51 PM

Have been lurking this place for a long time and finally decided to create a sketchbook. I need to learn anatomy and composition and many many more, so criticism would be very appreciated.
Here we go.

**Finsterling** · December 18th, 2011, 06:41 PM

Here are some of my sketches.

**Finsterling** · December 20th, 2011, 07:43 PM

Ok, here are some more sketches. Well... I'm not good at digital, but anyway.

Tawnos Heh, danke)

Here are few wips and a couple of sketches. I need to learn how to draw backgrounds...

Great start, really cool concepts!
I like first one the most, he reminds me Kaine from manga that I've read long time ago))

Welcome to Ca!

I love how you draw guys.

I dont have any real ctits, isolate what your not doing and work on that..apply to imagination though i'm sure you allready know that.

**nor** · January 19th, 2012, 08:26 AM

i like your style.keep going!

**Blueflies** · January 19th, 2012, 12:52 PM

Not much critique, I really like the style on these - you're very consistent across your work which is nice. It seems like every one of these people could populate any number of my nightmares. Post more!

Lumens:
Thanks! I know I have problems with... well, variety (I often draw same facial features, poses and angles), anatomy, backgrounds and lots of other things, but I'm trying to work on that)

nor:
Ok) Thanks.

Blueflies:
Haha, what a nice compliment) Thank you.

Kind of emotion practice, guy from f.e.a.r. and some sketches.

Hello, I love the 5th painting in the first post, the black+white plague doctor one.

Very strong character drawings. So evocative that I feel like I can jump on designing world concept right away if I'm assigned to do so. Only suggestion I have is to tryout more variation in body types and facial structures. It'll be interesting to see how you render little kids, round face, and fat and short characters.

Nice work!

**PieMonster** · February 6th, 2012, 01:33 PM

Sweet pencil sketches, really nice line quality! Looking forward to seeing more!

**LEVEL-DIE** · February 6th, 2012, 05:14 PM

Really liking the way you draw your characters. Like you mentioned in a post before, I'd also like to see you bring more variety into the facial and body types you draw. Other than that, good stuff!

**Finsterling** · March 6th, 2012, 05:42 PM

raqmo:
Thank you! I hope I can show something interesting soon. I'm trying to bring more variety into characters and it's pretty hard)

PieMonster:
Thanks!

LEVEL-DIE:
Thanks! I'm working on that)

Here's a bunch of sketches. And I have finished that dude I posted earlier.

Oh wow, this is really gorgeous work! You are very talented at giving your characters personality and expression! A lot of your work reminds me of the film noir styling, with the way you paint in shadows, I think that's really cool and effective, perhaps try challenge yourself to paint some characters in a soft, warm 'pretty' light as well? It would be interesting to see (: Incredible sketchbook, keep it up!

**silarvalla** · March 7th, 2012, 04:49 AM

hey great sketchbook! I really like the energy you have in your figures,
a lean elegance, that i'm finding hard to describe.
regardless, followed! nice work.
