Happy Holidays!

I laughed at the comic panel with the monster in the center of the village. People running away at the monster's thumb's up.

Doing studies and drawing skulls as overlays on people's faces is a great idea. I did that was clothing ads for a while. I think it helps. I notice some of the skulls drawn have a lot of worry lines, it would nice to have nice confident clean strokes.

[adamsimons]

the value scale is a good idea.
remember to work from general to specific, at its most basic the head just has a front, side, top, back and bottom plane.
if the light is pointing to the front of the head then then the planes facing the generally to the front should be generally lighter then the planes facing more to the side etc.
looking at your tengu - the bulge of the forehead(the frontal bone) has a plane the turns down slightly but is still facing more forward then the plane under the brow, so it should remain lighter then that plane.
your studies are progressing well and its good to see some original work.
keep it up

[Just Call Me Bruce!]

I agree with adam about the planes and simplifying. In the tengu piece I think it would benefit it if you didn't have so much of your darkest dark and maybe an extra value in the light.
Onwards to 2012!

[JamesSimons]

I'll third what Adam said!, also I like the mini environments in post #24!
keep it up never surrender!!

[Izene]

Hey,thanks guys!Sorry for replying a bit late, I broke my internet you see D:

ArtemisDragon: Thanks!Ye I use Posemaniac sometimes but mostly I do studies from screencaps of movies/series with action, I find it more interesting and keeps me at it

Pigeonkill: Happy holidays to you too! Ah,man!I'm such a worry-full person if there is such a word I been trying to aim at getting nice clean strokes for a while now but never succeeded, guess I just subconsiously gave up and thanks!

adamsimons : Ah I see!I see!Thanks!I always get carried away with adding the lighting! Thanks for pointing it out, I'll fix it right away,sir!

Bruce : Ah yes, so I should add a secondary light? Thanks

JamesSimons Thanks!And Yes sir!!

[Voodoo_Mama]

The cloud study is looking better!
I like those color and nose studies. They look very 3dimensional.
Keep up the good work!

[Izene]

Voodoo_Mama : Thanks!! I'm really glad you like it


Here is another concept, idea phase.
for 2012, the year of the dragon

[Trixtar]

Thanks for the comment in my SB

Now you have some pretty cool stuff!!!
I have to admit I got a bit disappointed with that wide image with the 2 adventurers. I thought that "great a scroll-thingy! There gotta be something fun at the other end shooting that arrow" :p Still very cool image though

[Izene]

Trixtar Thanks and sorry for dissapointing you, it werent suppose to be that long :|

[ANtY93]

[Izene]

ANtY93 Thanks! And I'm on it!



goodness me...I really need to study more, I suck so much here D:

[oODanyalOo]

Hey Izene, thanks for stopping by

You have a lovely narrative quality to some of your sketches and good use of colour. I need to become a bit more adventurous when I get my studies down. Let your imagination fly and have fun!

Will be back

[Izene]

oODanyalOo Thanks!Thanks!

[Izene]

Ooh this is getting tricky

[JamesSimons]

I like the dragons!,as for your heads I'd suggest when you draw for reference that you try to spend some more time looking at where the features are!,Your drawing will improve a lot if take a bit more time with your studies!

[Izene]

JamesSimons Thanks I tend to have a nasty habit of losing interest when spending too much a time focusing on one thing
I did these 2 studies with your advice in mind Thank you

[kidult]

That dragon piece is coming along nicely!

[Izene]

kidult Thanks! I'm just stuck by the clouds now.....

[ANtY93]

Painting clouds is like going head on against a giant (Skyrim)

Happy 2012 everyone!

Photostudy

[DaveGarcia]

I thought this SB had only one page and made comments about your very first drawings, my bad! This is awesome and it seems that you followed what they told you. Your anatomy looks better and better =) Keep up with the good work and thanks for stopping by!!

[FootstepsBeckon]

hey dude, keep an eye on photo-reffing when it comes to faces. On that last picture post it looks to me like you were in two minds- drawing the hair and the eye covered by shadow (which has caused the eye to become stretched and misplaced in an attempt of correction) and the bottom right section of the face which seems stronger.

Dont forget to flip your canvas often (and early!) to fix these errors. Also try alternative between having an initial linear line sketch and starting with paint colours.

Peace out

Will
