Hey man, thanks for stopping by! and for the book advice, seems pretty good.
Love the masks btw

[shiNIN]

The newer heads looks better. You aren't afraid of drawing heads viewed in tough angles, aren't you. Well it's the only way to master them. Keep it up
I like the burial masks.

Little update
tried to render a female torso boobies are great to render and tough the rendering seemed hell at first but progresively i enjoyed it anyhow the result is far from good i screw it in some twisting as well as some tonig issues but hellyeah i sat and freaking did it moving on to new stuff

shinin : thank yes these buggers wont get away iam trying to pinpoint my flaws everywhere not in head drawing only i think it kinda helps improve faster thnx for stopping by

[shiNIN]

Thighs are waaaaaay thicker at its base.
The boobies and a bit even the stomach-belly-crotch part have a pasted look, you need a smoother gradation, oh my English failed me again. I have to go (my baby bike comes home today! yay! and my mechanic are faaaaaaar from my house) but I might do an overpaint later if it helps anything. It surely would be a good practice for me. I'm a selfish being.
The gesture is there and I'm sure it could be much better just working over it at some places. It's not a bad start in general
Oh and the boobs have so little shading, well the whole thing would be more strong if the lighting conditions was more dramatic But the boobs surely need some darker shadows and reflected light, you can't show their roundness so well using low contrast.

When I see stuff in others's Sbs, I often feel an urge to draw the same. But it's rarely as strong as in the case of boobs. I love boobs. My SB should be full with them. I do it very, very wrong. Now I reflect on this flaw of mine a little.

Cheers

Small Upadate

[LtPlissken]

Tough months have been left behind you, as you cracked the
way to your next artistic level. Watching these five pages of your
creative mayhem has left a lot of us pretty much speechless. Your
improvements are more than visible, just as a body fat went down,
your glory and success receiving ability went up. It's a huge treat
to our eyes, seeing the combination of your digitals with the colors of
the sky. Smudgy painting looking red bird in #127 is beyond fantastic.
Kick off yous shoes and kick up the anatomy plus the gestures, there
is nothing that can stop your motivated behavior now. You do keep
walking on the path of your success, and do what you did till now.
I will be hiding behind the oak tree and will be watching your
fascinating progress and evolution.

[dimi]

Update

[dimi]

LtPlissken Thnx so much dude for visiting my sb and for the kind comments really appreciated.So yeah hide behind the tree but know that youre most welcome here

[dimi]

Little Update

[LtPlissken]

The bird that needs coffee is sweet, the colors on it are great.
I am very glad that you have so much fun by doing your drawings
and paintings. You know, I would like you, I like how your head paintings
are improving, but I would like you to do more greyscale studies for the
values sake. Digital paintings are fun, but do not rush, try to go back to the
roots a bit more. Get those graphite pencils rolling. Lot of heads and skulls
I would like to see from you, in graphite version. Take care, and stay good.

[dimi]

thnx lieutenant indeed these days will be dedicated to more core thingies like proportion structure and value but iam doing almost every day a digital sketch max 20minutes with it focusing on color as iam not really painting with traditional media althought i like watercolor anyways thnx for your kind words!And iam off to study cya

[dimi]

Some gesture drawing stuff mostly from pixel lovely. Fuck its still really hard for me to see the body ,the major mases as wholes ,their perspective ,where are they turning and such.Perhaps i should study individually piece by piece the body strarting from the torso and going down.At least iam felling more confident about my lines.
Anyhow enough bitching iam going to study the rest of the body now cheers.

[tj0ri]

hey, thanks for stopping by
very nice studies try to keep an eye of proportions, look for overlaps and look for the relationship from the torso and pelvis as well as basic Rhythms.
you might wanna take a look at this book "force dynamic life drawing for animators" i learned tons from this book

sorry for my english i hope you get what i`m trying to say
looking forward for more

[dimi]

small update more to come

[dimi]

More stuff gestures and iam diving in leg anatomy and structure

[dimi]
