Draw hard

[Black Spot]

I really liked your B&N picture - it looks like it was done by the same artist, which is one of the rules.

Hi snatti. you're definitely going in the right direction, but you have to focus on drawing human figures. Stop coloring for a while and stude human anatomy. Especialy little tells such as hands, facial gestures, knees etc. U can draw the whole figure but if one of those small things don't fit they will see it (referencing to one of your colored drawings of a girl- her knee is just too big). Use comic books. Everything is alredy figured out ( all those cool poses, foreshortening etc), u just have to practice. And by practice I mean every hour. In couple of months u will see the difference. And again before you start coloring, pencils have to be conquered. Good luck and keep us posted. You are telented, bu practice is a part of it. Always

Beautiful enviros, I have no words.
You are the real master.

That last post of yours, is full of win. So awesome, and I can't wait to see more!

[Caspia]

I'm quite surprised how you managed to use quite pastel colours to make such an aggressive landscape in your last post. It's really interesting to look at.

Beautiful stuff all around, but those enviros are just fantastic. You deserve five stars.

[p sage]

The kickboxer drawings are neat... and the video game enviros are well done.

[fudgeloaf]

Woah snatti nice level up, fantastic enviros glad to see your studies too

[Requiem88]

Nice work. I'm a big fan of gesture drawings and I love yours. A little cartoony, but they are still great.

[yogeshj25]

amazing work you have! keep it up!

[android411]

amazing stuff, you´re incredible with light and texture, keep it up!

[bmb330]

Nice work! Really impressive I wish I could do stuff that nice.

[Kir Nuyts]

Hey Snatti, great work! I have a question... I saw your thumbnails (wips) for IDOW170:
How do you create those grids? (perspective lines?) I know how to create a straight line in PS but they never look like yours.

I would be eternally greatfull if you could explain this to me
Thanks!

[mass87]

mate im impressed with the improvement u made in such a short time! awesome stuff, keep it up!

[AboutaDirk]

So very impressive. Will have to show this to a couple of friends over here to make them understand the level of people here on ca. Amazing.

Let me fire a quick question as well; when doing studies from movie stills, do you use a colour picker, or try to "mix" yourself?

[jdem]

Wow, blown away by this stuff! Really inspiring to see such an improvement over the course of your sketchbook as well. Can't wait to see more!

[lennon]

Wow, beautifull enviros this last few.

[Majora]

this last set is rad man, keep it up

[Jephyr X]

Once again...I'm blown away by your enviros. Love the figure studies and portraits. So loose and full of life!

In the grayscale portraits in #131...the first girl in the center...you've captured so much emotion in her face.

The light/relections in your still lifes...are very well done too.

Impressve/inspiring work!

[Barefoot]

Wow, your environments are totally amazing.
I also love the last two portrait type things (the crysis-looking guy and the girl in the rain) they're really cinematic looking.

[LtPlissken]

So many wonderful paintings at once. Simply
unbelievable. Those indoor outdoor environments
are much beyond my understanding, just too many
happenings on them, and you have a neat understanding
of realistic lighting. I hope you are doing these concepts for
some post apocalyptic game or movie, cause they are too amazing.
The speed paints and the real life paintings are also marvelous.
You have shocked me once again with your pieces, and made
me to rethink and reevaluate my drawing and painting situation.
Thank you for motivating and for sharing your mind products with us.

Really great artwork dude! Your environments have a nice detailed look without looking too busy, gives it a nice realistic look. Those last couple of still life were really good too! And of course those speed paints, a feast for the eyes!! Keep up the good work!
