Styling bro =) Your latest work is much improved from your last works =) Can see more understanding for the head and face features =) Your pencils are looking really good too =) You're doing the right stuff imho =)

**jeremygordon89** · October 1st, 2011, 04:57 PM

Your studies are looking pretty solid, especially with the understanding of the head construction. Just try to work from life
and imagination and reference on a daily basis and you'll be making big strides. Keep up the great work!

**Naidy** · October 1st, 2011, 05:54 PM

Still working hard, eh? You're making good progress mate. Be sure to keep it up!

Loving the hand studies in particular, too. Hands are lovely things to draw though personally I mess them up whenever I do them unreffed.

**Nemome** · October 2nd, 2011, 05:31 PM

Hey Ven!

Thanks for staying with me in my stream this evening!

Studies are looking good.
Your heads still need a lot of practice. Especially when you look at your figures you see directly that heads are the weakest point.

Keep practicing, dude!

EdiT: 900th Post! ^.^

**Dile_** · October 2nd, 2011, 08:11 PM

thanks for checking out my sb ven!

Great stuff going on in here, I checked the last few pages, and I'm liking where your studies are taking you! Keep it up and keep mixing them studies up! Awesome

**Psychobuddy** · October 2nd, 2011, 11:12 PM

You know what I think...keep it up!
Oh by the way those getures are badass...

**lohes** · October 6th, 2011, 03:08 PM

tons of studies! lookin' good, lookin' good, keep up that pace

**Ven S** · October 7th, 2011, 09:41 PM

@ Silwynar Thanks my man

Yeah I agree with the heads. They are so hard

@ Dile_ xD Thanks for stopping by Dile!
@Psychobuddy You know what I think.... I think your awesome

xD Thanks man!
@ lohes Come now, they aren't that many studies , there should be more! Over 9000!

Stuff going on in my life right now(School) To many Test in one weekend its not funny. Anyway, focusing on foreshortening right now, also im literally heading into digital more now

But I can't decide I suck at heads and digital so which one do I work on more... How about both.

**Psychobuddy** · October 7th, 2011, 11:39 PM

YEAHHH Buddeh!
Characters are looking a little disjointed right now...but you're studying structure and anatomy and all that good stuff...keep it up and you'll succeed in no time!

**Alex Eh** · October 8th, 2011, 01:52 AM

Hey Ven, your doing good I see your adressing your weaknesses and I don't have any crits. Keep it up

**lohes** · October 9th, 2011, 05:25 PM

sexy anatomy studies

i feel your pain with digital work... it can be a pain in the arse sometimes, so much frustration when it doesnt look good

**Kungfoowiz** · October 10th, 2011, 09:01 PM

Heey bro! =) Drawings are looking good, liking the direction tbh =) Yip try to do a few faces when you can, I really enjoy drawing them as well which makes them fun to practice =) Good luck with your next piece bro =)

**wasabi89** · October 10th, 2011, 09:17 PM

Good studies in here. Its cool that you do so many of them as well
You're on the right track bro
keep it up

cheers

**cloudcan** · October 11th, 2011, 01:06 AM

great stuff, your pencil studies are looking good

For digitals.. I think using layers would help in these sorts of cases where the object would look much nicer clean-cut from the bg. give it a try maybe?

**Seage** · October 11th, 2011, 08:05 PM

Hosnaaaaaap! Look at you bustin ass over here!!
Gosh, you've done so much since I was last here, and the improvement is huge. Those studies are amazing. And your paintings from ref are great.

My advice, which im sure you've heard or already do, is to use more ref in your work from your imagination. What i do is do the rough, sketch it out on my own, then find ref after that can work with it. From multiple sources if needbe. Really does help, and will make your work stronger and stronger

Sorry if im saying stuff you already knoww!!

**Ven S** · October 12th, 2011, 09:46 PM

@Psychobuddy MMMMMHHHMMMMMMMMM
@ Alex Eh Oh thank you alex

@ lohes I'm just a pencil and paper junkie

But I wont give up!

Thanks lohes!
@ Kungfoowiz Head studies, darn. I gotta start hitting them harder ! Thanks bro

@wasabi89 Thanks bro

@ cloudcan I found that just pouring the color on the canvas makes me less stress.. But I'll try adding layers for you

@SeageHosnaaaaaap, glad to have you back

You're right , I gotta hit does ref !

Okay so not many studies but more imagination stuff. BWahaha that one dude with the bird head is the worse out of all of them. ( I drew it during math? Yah) Also I'm challenging some are students at my school to draw angels.

**Psychobuddy** · October 12th, 2011, 11:23 PM

That's it buddeh....
Hogarth's silver surfers are looking goooood. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmmmmm

**cloudcan** · October 13th, 2011, 06:14 AM

haha but layers only if you like them! My messy style used to hate layers for awhile but I gave in and they made many things much easier for me xD

Really like your figure work! very nice rhythm and action. But I don't think that's translating when you do the fantasy charas in armor. For the armored dudes: legs irl aren't straight! (I'm not talking about the armor! xD) Angel soldier girl has a bunch of problems that your figure work doesn't have at all! (like balance, curvature of spine, etc...) Imaginative drawings are fun but apply what you learned as well, that's the big payoff after all

**dracken** · October 13th, 2011, 11:24 AM

Hey man, thanks for stopping by my SB.

I see a lot of studies and that's good.
However, I'd put even more effort into life studies, those hips up there look very narrow.

I have seen your work and you can do really good stuff, just push yourself to measure everything out and study every day

**Ardescoere** · October 13th, 2011, 12:26 PM

Nice work, Ven! I love your studies

**Kungfoowiz** · October 14th, 2011, 11:14 PM

Heey bro! =) The A-team drawings you did =) The last one, with the beard and spellbook I think, he has nice proportions =) Really nice pencil work I think =) Good luck with finishing your angel, would just say maybe lower her eyes a bit =) Cheers Cheers! =)

**Sushy** · October 15th, 2011, 05:35 AM

I like your sketchbook avatar 0w0 The Gundam Wing Zero is so cool

anyway, you should work some more on anatomy (well so do I XD)
You do add lots of nice details to your sketches I think.

**Kristoff** · October 15th, 2011, 08:11 PM

Oh, I love that you have so many anatomy studies =D
the last ones are pretty good! But a bit disproportional, maybe doing some skeletal anaysis will help?)

keep it up bro! =D

**-D_art-** · October 16th, 2011, 06:55 AM

great studies Ven s, and nice characters too, keep drawing man

**Magyar** · October 16th, 2011, 02:41 PM

Nice anatomy! mhmmmm!

**Pkmike** · October 16th, 2011, 02:43 PM

nice man! keep them coming! some full body sketches would be nice GOO

**MusicMetalHead** · October 16th, 2011, 06:33 PM

Loving those figure drawings. I've been thinking about getting one of those toned sketchbooks when I finish the one I'm currently working on. Are they worth it?

I say they are. I get to use white coloring pencil to really push out the drawing. Im also using cardboard, makes it easier to put the white on the surface.

**fudgeloaf** · October 16th, 2011, 07:09 PM

Hey ven great updates, you've really been making me feel lazy while i was at work haha

your on the right track man just keep at it and consciously think why your studying these things so your applying them when your doing your own stuff. Oh and might stream tomorrow mate
