Hi fellow artists,
it`s about time to start a sketchbook. In the next few month an years I`ll work hard to become a better artist! Big words I know
I try to poste here at least 5 times a week. Any crits and other advices are very welcome!
...so let`s get startet.

May the force be with us!

I really like the shading in the right-central face of this image. Really, I like the way you shade all of them, but that one captures my attention more than the others. I think it's the angle of the body: bent forward, looking up at you, casting a shadow over the face and chest. What is that contraption around his neck? I can't tell if it's nuts and bolts, or some sort of liquid vials.

Also, what kind of pencils did you use for these? I stick to the .5 lead mechanical pencils because I'm lazy, but seeing these broad strokes makes me want to try them.

I love the top two of this last update! The crosshatching is magnificent!

I also really like the thumbnail in the first post; it looks like an old master pen and ink study or something.

Great work man.

[master.mind]

Teowli thanks man, i don`t know whats around hes neck eather i wont go any further with this concept.. so whoe cares.. yes I use a .5 or 0.7 lead mechanical pencil

drd thx!

Damn, that is a sexy costume. XD I'm guessing you used a lot of references for it? If so, would you mind sharing the sites where you found such awesome period clothes?

[master.mind]

Cacodaemonia : thanks again but I have to disapoint you I didn`t use any refs for this piece I went with a certain feeling and mood and tweaked the costume until it felt right.

[Cacodaemonia]

Wow, really? That's fantastic! I'm even more impressed.

[master.mind]
