kikindaface is learning to draw !

[freakmod]

You have a cool style developing. I love the cloth on the arms of that last pic. The shading gives it sweet textures.

[hala]

WALID. I EXPECT UPDATES. DAILY. NOW!!!!!!!!!
I think you could benefit from some leg studies man

[Vatsel]

aye dude! thanks a lot for stopping by and dropping some great crit

you have some really cool studies, post more of em!

[SMILEFACE]

THE STUDIES ON PAGE 12 ROCK! an the portrait style faces on on 13 rrrr HELLA COOL i really like the girl w/ the staff it would be cool to see that pushed further keep it up boob master

[Arrowroot]

Nice work here! You have a good eye for colour, and your tonal studies are getting really pro too. Keep working at the anatomy, your limbs are looking very thin try incorperating the muscles within your poses, such as the bicep, triceps etc etc.
Also the torso looks a little block like sometimes. Have you tried drawing a skeleton ? getting familiar with the shape and positioning with the rib cage and hips may help this.

Great work! Seeing a lot of improvement Keep at it!

[kikindaface]

Thanks everybody ! I really appreciate the supportand the nice words, as well as your great advices, i'm sorry i can't reply to everyone, it's the less i can do, but tonight i'm so so tired ! I'll follow your advices, and will work harder ! Thanks Lyno for your links, really useful ! And Phil, i taged my sketchbook this way to attract peoples, it seems it worked for ya :p !

Well today i didn't scan all my stuff, first because i'm tired, then, because some of my studies didn't worth watching it ( always stiff figures, etc, damn, i should stop making always the same mistakes and more study anatomy ! )

Good news everyone ! It seems that bridgman and me are friends again, so he will teach me some anatomy stuff again !

So basic shading, an unfinished sp ( i was bored doing it, plus the proportions are totally off !) I should maybe do some warmup before drawing a sp :/

And a value study, from a colored photo ! when i'm painting from a b&w ref, i usually have the right values, but when it's from a color ref, i'm totally focused on colors, and forget values, so now i'm doing values studies from colored refs ! Anyway, here are my stuff ( sorry i don't find the original ref for the value study )

Looking good, the portrait shows improvement!

One thing I would recommend is to use soft and hard brushes for things like hair and just edge variation in general. If you alter the hardness of your brush, you can make layers of hard and soft edges really quickly. Its hard to explain what I mean, but its something you might wanna try anyway, not really a crit, keep it up!

[Jamesy]

You have a good pencil technique and methinks your values are getting stronger with each post! I think it's just a matter of drawing mileage and time before you really start to take off. Keep workin hard and I'll be sure to drop a line every now and then so take care duuude!

[MacTire]

Mec!!
Beaucoup de bonnes travails et croquis ici!! Cependent, je pense qu'il faut qu'on fait plus des foncés au moins dans les visages (j'espere qu'il est la mot torte).
Partant, laissez les bons morceaux vient!!!!!

[kikindaface]

Man Made God : Thanks bro, you're always there to help me, i really appreciate it ! Well, i should try to play with edges ! But for now, i'm more focused on working on the light ! Because i mean all i see in my painting is values, i wanna create light, and shadow, and stuff like that, create this magical thing that will bring my painting alive, and i know this magical thing comes from values ! So i'll keep it up, but don't worry, i'm gonna try to use several brushes ! Thanks again

Jamesy : Thanks !

MacTire : Merci beaucoup ! Take care :p

Well today, a sp and some anatomy studies ! But like i'm studying anatomy right now i can't scan my stuff, so i'll show you the studies tomorow :p

Another thing is that i created my livestream channel ! You can check this out http://www.livestream.com/walidart

i hope some of you will help me to improve, by giving me critics and leaving comments :p !

Didn't notice but this is my 400th post ! Pop champaaaaaaaaagne !

[blexano]

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my humble sketchbook.

Great to see that you keep at it! I would like to see a full portrait though.
And try to hatch with the muscles... ^^

[freakmod]

Looking good Walid, I like the eyes on that second last sp. I also want to see a full portrait to better see your progress!

[snootchy]

Nice looking portraits man! The digital one of the chick is great, good solid values as well!

liking the hatching work as well, keep em' coming mate!

Good to see you on livestream as well, haha small world!

[hala]

Awesome walid!! But I'm still gonna kick your bum to make you work more.
The value study came out wonderful too

[Cacodaemonia]

Nice job with that digital value study!

[Φ]

nice

just one suggestion: use either: a soft, non-mech pencil and try to get the planes down. the way you render is nice, but you would benefit more if you focus on planes first, I belive. or use photoshop and a rather big brush…

take care!

[kikindaface]

blexano : Thanks dude !

freakmod : I'll try ! Thanks

snootchy : Thanks honey ! Yeah, i really should do a full sp, but it's hard to be focused on it for hours :p !

JailHouseRock2 : haha yeah, really small world ! Thanks for stoping by my sb! c you on livestream too !

hala : Thaaaaanks girl !

Cacodaemonia : Thanks buddy !

Mr. Phil : I'll try dude ! Thanks for your suggestion !

Lol, i'm really sorry for my poor update ! today was my couzin's bday, so hadn't much time to draw ! But did a live stream session and i'm really glad to see that i improved with values ! The bridgman studies won't be updated today, but tomorow morning, i'm too lazy and tired to scan my stuff now !

[snootchy]

snootchy : Thanks honey !

lol i think you meant to put 'm' where the 'n' is in honey u crack me up!!

yea it was great to see you flow on the tube! Your values are getting better and I think using slightly darker darks in the shadows will help to add depth to the form and make forms pop. Also the linework definitely came through in the end and good construction too!

Hahah I already gave you my thots on this, keep it up man!

[shamandalie]

Now i understand why you call me a snail. You art cheetah. @______@

[Twisted Synapses]

Nice sketchbook =D I like your portraits a lot, really great shadows.

[Lyno]

Hey man! Good stuff. Nice portrait in post#397 but I think her eyes are a little bit to wide from each other. Tried to change it in PS and I think it looks better that way. Nothing big though . I would recommend doing more studies. Do skull studies, proportions studies,...figure studies ....
Good job doing those SP btw.

[AsaB]

I had fun looking at your latest work, your original characters are fun and you're obviously enjoying that. Definitely keep up the imaginative stuff along the fundamental studies.

I'd also like to see more colour studies from you! You do a lot of pencil and b/w studies in Photoshop, so a little splash of colour every now and then would probably help too

[B-Man]

Nice progress.
A tip when working with grays on sketches. Remove all
white and work with lighter and darker values on a grey
background. Its hard on your eyes with the white. hope
you know what I mean.
Mahalo!

[FraserMcT]

Nicer stuff. Keep on pushing.
On the next figure, keep the spine in mind. It may help with making your figures look more fluid.

[vardoburrito]

I'll slowly go throught his sketchbook Wali, but so far ... so good.
But aaaaa, where's the experiments bro?.

I would love to see you mix your animation heart into these characters.
Make them dance ... boogy woogy man, boogy, woogy.

Keep up the studies.

[kikindaface]

snootchy : thanks honey :p Nice advices ! You're the man .... from USA :p

hala : Yuuuup

shamandalie : Haha, Thanks ! Nah, i'm not cheeta, i'm also a " tortule" lmfao

Twisted Synapses : thanks man !

Lyno : Thanks man ! Yeah, i began to study from vilppu, he is an awesome teacher !

AsaB : ooooooh thanks a lot Asab :3

B-Man : Yeah, i know what you mean, i already worked on a grey background, but i think the grey wasn't enough dark ! Thanks for your advice !

FraserMcT : Thanks dude ! I will !

dwardo :Hey dwardo ! Thanks for stoping by my sb ! I'm looking worward to see you painting on livestream !

Thanks for everybody who watched me on livestream the other day, had a big fun with Granny, snootchy, dwardo, and all the others from the chat, and thanks again for all the great advices !

Here are some studd i did recently, i'm also working on an illustration, almost finished the b&w version !

[B-Man]
