    Nice start. Really like the last one. You could push your values further in the first two though to create a stronger sense of depth.

    Good job! I really like your concepts and you pencil draw style. I would advice for you to add a bit more dynamic to your drawings because now they a bitr static. And also dont shy with color. Try to use RGB palette with out using of black. It's really help to improve your color skills. Keep pushing!

    Yeah, you're definitely right I need to really get some new poses going. Thanks for taking the time to comment, I'll definitely keep that in mind next time I hit the sketchbook.

    is that pen and toned paper or digital? it's cool, I think if it's digital try getting a more gritty chalk brush and work just Saguine would give it more of that rennaisance feel your going for, actually if it's traditional probably good to try using some pastel pencil, probably saguine as well.
    Really love your environments, you definitly have the nack, and your illustrations have a nice profesional look, looking foward to more pages

    @Sean McClain - It's actually traditional put over a paper texture digitally. Thanks for your comments, will definitely check out some different media. I don't know what Saguine means haha. Sorry you'll have to educate me.
    @I-Bomb - Will do, thanks for your feedback.
    @snatti - Thanks for the advice, you're definitely right. This week I'm going to Florida for vacation, I'm going to snap a lot of pictures to study from. Signed up for a life drawing class as well.

    I appreciate everyone taking the time to drop by my sketchbook to comment! Hopefully my next updates will show some progress on your suggestions.

    Great updates here. You're getting there, but it looks like you have some issues with your anatomy (like everyone else of course). Figure drawing courses along with your life drawing course will be very beneficial. Doing quick sketches from sites like this can help with line economy.
