Incredible sketchbook, I love the way you draw! Very inspiring, can't wait to see more!

**Robert.B** · August 11th, 2011, 01:36 PM

Cool sketches. I would be careful with proportions and locking down foot placement with some of your character sets.

**witcrack** · August 11th, 2011, 05:58 PM

Loove your poses Man! Absolutely inspiring. Keep it up!

**ismo** · August 11th, 2011, 06:02 PM

Totally rad character designs. Thanks for the inspiration.

**léJeanX3** · August 12th, 2011, 07:34 AM

Seage - haha thanks man, I still need to level more but my paintings need even MORE leveling.

Robert B. - Thank you for pointing that out. Hopefully life drawing along with doing more characters in scenes will help me eliminate that problem.

Thank your for your comments!

First 2 - pixelovely.com sketches
3rd - train sketches
4th - fathers day

5th - pbase.com bg thumb studies inspired by bumskee(Min)
6th - commission
Last - "Tokuhime" Sengoku contest painting

I realize I have been neglecting my paint studies a little too much. I've been looking around and found bumskee's "Digital Painting in PS #2" thread and he pointed out somethings that I was doing wrong. Maybe now I have a better solution to my problem, now its just up to me to take the time to put in the work.

Thank you for stopping by

Great character and clothing ideas! Thanks for sharing!

**léJeanX3** · August 24th, 2011, 05:04 AM

**Ariel9** · August 24th, 2011, 07:41 AM

I love your enviroments and your commissioned characters - your work is BEAUTIFUL.
I wish I had more to say, but I'll just stick with 'I'll keep watching', for now, in the future following your work more closely I'll try and get something more constructive out, ehe.

**witek** · August 24th, 2011, 08:14 AM

good stuff

With enviros try to vary your brushwork . showing difference in texture of different things-rock grass etc.
Keep it up

**rumpenstiltzkin** · August 24th, 2011, 03:42 PM

**adamsimons** · August 27th, 2011, 09:48 PM

**Ztak** · August 27th, 2011, 10:27 PM

Inspiring sketchbook! Makes me wanna draw even though i'm dead tired (eyes gonna pop out soon)

Have to come back to it!

**jay.walk** · September 10th, 2011, 10:55 AM

you are more than just better..keep on..

**Feil Magnus** · September 10th, 2011, 11:25 AM

Awesome linework, kickass sketchbook you have here.

**Nettle_Mountain** · September 10th, 2011, 12:02 PM

your characters has nice detail, empty areas design in there but the enviroments are quite flat, they are all in one plane and not really in perspective, maybe some studies to redeem that from photos=?

**- nat -** · September 21st, 2011, 11:31 AM

I love the imagination in your environment speedpaints. The colors might be a tad too strong (the purple in the second one), but not bad at all

Also nice amount of details in character designs!

**léJeanX3** · April 25th, 2012, 06:50 AM

Its been quite a while. Just after my last post I went through a lot of changes in my personal life. I hope that I can continue with a clear mind.

1.BG studies
2. Mad Max commission
3.Anatomy studies

**LastGen** · April 25th, 2012, 06:56 AM

Nice thumbnails and sketches, Jean. I hope you'll get back on your feet again, be positive and make the right adjustments.

**Psychobuddy** · April 25th, 2012, 08:53 AM

Hey man everything looks awesome...I'm so jealous of your characters, so nice!

**léJeanX3** · April 26th, 2012, 01:21 AM

Thanks for the words Lastgen. I will do just that. Gotta move forward and focus on now and the future.

Appreciate the comments!

Here are some studies from pixelovely
A commission
and some enviros from the head

**Seage** · April 26th, 2012, 09:10 AM

I need to learn how to detail my linework from you. Still killin it. Donate your skills to the poor, please!

**GEB** · April 26th, 2012, 09:31 AM

Wow great characters and the poses are wicked good! I especially love the moleskin stuff that you've coloured digitally

**Zero_Insane** · May 12th, 2012, 10:51 PM

Your amazing sketches inspired me. I had not drawn anything until now, I felt a rush of inspiration and there it was, a drawing. Keep posting, I always look forward for your posts. And of it doesn't bother you, could you tell me hints for drawing? I can draw certain things such as people; however, I have never taken classes and basically I'm on my own. So if you could give me hints to improve my skills it would be much appreciated. My best regards - Zero_Insane
