nicky and matcha thanks you guys

here's another quick little portrait from today

[fabriceb]

Hey, this is really really good! I love ... all of it! much inspiration for me so thank you. The only thing I could say is that (and I've noticed that for a lot of peope, not sure why) is how the pencil work seem to have so much more dynamism or expression? perhaps it's because it's quicker? but fantastic stuff!

[magicpudding]

Really enjoy your powerful use of form lighting, texture, colour design and composition, and of course, the surface rendering on all your work. Congrats, a really hot bunch of work! Maybe you could also include some gesture drawing as part of your sketchbook. I'd look forward to see what you came up with. Fantastic work.

Beautiful studies. Do you ever use the smudge tool to get smoother transitions when you're rendering, or is it just the ol' color picking and varying opacity in the brush that you're using?

[Gpozzo]

Great sketchbook, i personally enjoy the brushwork and color on your digital stuff, very nice work, keep at it, i'll keep an eye

fabricep, magicpudding, axelga, gpozzo, thanks very much guys

fabricep - i think maybe what you're talking about is line confidence? one of my biggest heroes when it comes to lines is justin sweet, he is amazing
axelga - personally i never use the smudge tool although i have sometimes experimented the mixing brush tool, but not recently. i think in certain circumstances it can give a nice effect but you should be selective with it

here is a little study from life from today



thanks for looking

I LOVE your life drawing sketches. wonderful. There's a lot I can learn from you! Hope to see more posts in the near future.

[Mhugo]

I just second what Jmob just said, really beautiful lifedrawings, i like them a lot, as well as the other stuff in your SB. Love the colors in post #118. Keep up the good work!!
