[Valyavande]

Hoooly...your work is amazing

[Valyavande]

saltfox:thanks a lot! even if I would not say that I'm amazing. But I'm working on it =)

I started a study of Eddie Redmayne. Not finished yet, this is just a part of it

[darxx]

nice painting there.

[Valyavande]

darxx:thank you again!

drawing posemaniacs poses in photoshop feels kind of evil. I can not draw with the graphic tablet .. all poses are 60 seconds

Very cool new stuff here! I especially like your poses and studies. Very natural things, I like that! Keep it up! Yours, Steffen

Oh man, I love your anatomy studies soooooo much! They make me super jealous. Everything from your gestures to your photo studies, are so clean and have such incredible flow! Also, your pen technique is great!
I love the way you make such simple hatching speak volumes on the form of an object. I especial see this as I'm writing looking at your page with the hooded guy!

Super Amazing, Please, PLEASE keep up the good work! I will totally be following this thread!

Super inspiring!...

[Valyavande]

greyskill:oh my, thank you so much for all those kind words! I will give my best to go on!

some face drawings

[Nemome]

Elves
I don't see elves that often in this forum although here's a lot of fantasy stuff

Keep working on your heads. Studies are paying off

Greetings, Sil

nice! really getting better here, I'm loving your work.

but I do have to ask about post 39. There a reason you drew the lady on the right of the top image with a bag over her head? That made me lol.

[Valyavande]

darxx: It was a photo study and the lady had a bag over her head already. I just added the beautiful face to give the bag more expression XD Thank you very much for following my sketchbook!
