some more junk from today. i had a quick go at making robot thing (JCB of the future xD). did some drawings forcing on line with dip pen and another self portrait.

**no87** · August 17th, 2009, 06:27 PM

some stuff from the weekend. i went to see u2 at wembley on saturday so not much got done that day but i tryed to keep myself working when i could.
so here's my long illustration. i tryed to fix all the stuff raised by everyone. i think im just gona leave it as it is for now and start the next one. :/
theres also some studies, experimental mark making and some more self portraits. i'm slow getting better with the portraits. :/

**no87** · August 20th, 2009, 01:41 PM

some more daily self portraits, doodles and some thumbs for my next illustration. i've also been working on an animation which involves me cutting each frame by hand. its taking ages but i was so inspired by the amazing work that shadow play studio did for juno opening credits i had to give it ago.

**hala** · August 20th, 2009, 03:02 PM

good stuff sir--some crits tho:
the pelvis in a lot of your designs seams to disappear. it seems to jump straight from belly to legs--do some hardcore studies of this region. also, sometimes your females are appearing too broad in the rib cage/shoulders and not correctly proportioned with the legs.
i notice in a lot of your gesture drawings, the legs seem to be an afterthought rather than main structure. Trying distinguish the longest verticals in your gesture so that the legs don't fall of into narrow-disproportioned parts.

not tryingt o be harsh, but you're on a roll already so i know you can improve

**no87** · August 24th, 2009, 06:56 PM

thanks hala! be as harsh as you like. i know it all for a good cause! and thanks for the advice on the figures. i'm trying to get better at that. need loads my practice and you advice helped try and focus abit more

some more junk. the catherdral this time was winchester. went there on friday.

**kingkostas** · August 25th, 2009, 03:30 PM

Interesting sketchbook mate.You have good skills and you are doing a lot of studies.
So keep up the studies and avoid making random brushtrokes when rendering(study the planes and make each brushtroke follow the curve of the surface)[i just noticed it in some of the works]
Keep up the good work and thnx for stopping by my sketchbook

**no87** · August 28th, 2009, 07:10 PM

thanks kingkostas! i'll try to keep that in mind when rendering stuff out, thanks man.
also your sketchbook is awesome!

a few things some hand stuff, self portraits and abit more work on that paint ive been meaning to finish for awhile now. :/

**towy** · August 29th, 2009, 01:44 AM
