hi grzessnik, nice work in there, i like your lines a lot and the spontaneity of them,
your sketches are full of life, energic and you capture quickly the essential of the drawing,
it's good! my favourite ones are maybe your series on the previous page, with chinese ink
and bamboo pen etc.. also a big progress since first page, keep on sharing!

[Grzessnik]

bouroune – Thank you for your kindness. I'm happy that you see progress. Posting here is pleasure for me and if someone find it useful the better.

Hi Grzessnik
You have a very nice flow of lines,
sometimes a bit messy for, but that depends on what you are aiming for
my personal taste is : post #246, the first study is top notch, I love it, the next one not so much because of messy abstractism, but I cant say its bad, actually is aswell really nice
I would love to see some work with color or anyway, I would to see more of anything! keep it coming

[Grzessnik]

f1x – thanks for coming and comment. I know, my drawing style is messy, but it's because i don't aim for reality. I draw, because i like to see what happens. Many of my sketches is drawn without looking on paper . To see my color works, try few pages back. There are watercolors.

Hey man, I want to thank you for stopping by my sketchbook so often. You have a real passion for what you do and I respect that a lot I want to recommend you check out the "Drawn to Life" books Vol. 1 and 2. They are a collection of Walt Stanchfield's lectures/drawings over his many years of teaching drawing at Disney studios. His fascinating lectures break down how to think about the subjects you are drawing, and have really made me rethink, in simple terms, what it is I'm trying to convey. You seem to like to work quick and loose, with feeling. His drawings always make me think of your work, and I can't help but think that you would benefit greatly from his wisdom. Keep doing your thing, I know it makes you happy and that really is the most important thing Cheers!
p.s. this is the book I'm talking about:

Thanks Grzessnik

As said that was just my preference, your drawings/watercolors are awesome as they are

And yes, sorry, I somehow missed some pages from your SB, now I found the colors you mentioned,
Thanks a lot!

[Grzessnik]

Dark_Eyes – Thanks for many valuable advices. I will buy this books when it will be possible I saw these titles on amazon, but now, when i have recommendation i'll buy them for sure. To my drawing style. I have deep feeling that realistic drawing is not for me. I've tried but there was a drawing but no draughtsman inside. So, i've dropped drawing for many year, but i was incomplete without it. Now i try to find my way and it is rather expressive. Sometimes i try to work longer and maybe i will draw realistic someday. For now i'm happy that i can do my drawings, enjoy them and find myself in them. This is great award for me.
I love your style, you're like chameleon and your observing ability and technique is amazing.

f1x – Thanks for comming back. I'm happy that you've found something interesting in my drawings / watercolors.

WoWEE, What a style, Your are on the right track, But put MUCH more time into it, your stretching yourself all over the place, take a piece you like and spend some time on it so you can focus your drawing potential into it , your lines have great energy, thats a very hard and crucial ability for many to acquire, not many have that

[Grzessnik]

KrispyKream – Thank you for advice. I will try to digg deeper. I think these sketches (some of them) have potential and i want to use it.
