    Some nice stuff here. Love all the experimenting with different media.

    On a few of your digital pieces, I just wish they were tighten up / sharpened abit more.

    Looking forward to seeing more stuff.

    Thanks Vulgar

    Here's some more stuff, done the life study from a reference but never finished it, got bored and didn't really like how it was goin..

    it'd be nice to have some tips in drawing clothes and cityscapes; i probably find them hardest, yet they're my favourite part of concept art (cities that is... not so much clothes , though complex suits are always cool). I'm not great with vehicles/robots either, so tips there would be great too

    the drawing of another person is a drawin of my dad... while he was on the sofa =)

    the enviro is just a wip base for a monster or something which i'll draw later

    Hi there!!

    Amazing start to a sketchbook - so nice to look at all the skill and variety! Especially love the female torso in monochrome.
    I also find cityscapes and clothes hard to get a grip on, so much structure in one and texture in another, really hard to learn. I guess the trick is to do life drawing and try to copy what you see as close as you can.. until you can! Then you'll have a 'bank' of textures, etc to use and improve without having the stuff in front of you.

    Best wishes,

    Ana

    Oh hi little explosion of creativity, nice to meet you.

    D'awww i love the roughness of your pictures. And the compositions!
    Its so much fun to browse through your works.

    This is basically all I can say, for I can't give you any advice.
    Keep it up!

    You have a really great way with economy and implied detail! Some of these remind me of some of the posts that Mikko Kinunnen made a good while back about how far he could go with implying detail before the painting became unrecognizable. Cool stuff!
