these are some of my sketches and studies.I am reading how to draw what you see (rudy de reyna), i was reading loomis for the heads but i realised that i coudnt give solidity and gave it up for a while.I then red about perspective from d'amelios book and rudys book now provides some foundation i suppose i got better i have a sense for 3d form now (i guess )Please any thoughts,critiques and comments are more than welcome!

Hey! Keep on doing those heads studies, they're ver helpful.
I like the drawing of the sculpture girl. It would really help you more if you did observational drawings from real life instead of pictures though.

[dimi]

Did some more head studies trying to understand the forms involved,btw does anyone knows how to grasp better the concept about 3d forms?perspective involved pershaps?anyways here the are

i see you are working through bettey edwards (knew i recognised dem profiles!) which is a great starting book dude,i read it myself. Try looking for some andrew loomis books online (as pdfs) he talks about imagining every object as a 3d one surround by a box or cube shape- this might help!


keep going.

Thanks for stopping by my sketchbook. Keep working on those studies. I could suggest you try the book called 'The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain' by Betty Edwards.

I also like your 3D character. Looks very cool! Keep drawing dude.
