I reallly like your pencil studies they examplefy what people tell me
to do- slowing down and getting more structure. I haven't seen all
the 6pack dudes on page 1 looking good.

Hi man, just wanted to dropp by and give some support, keep pushing everything! try to look at how diffrent material reflect light in diffrent situations, like in post 65, its a bit hard to tell its metal but with some studies it will be pieace of cake

[Nowio]

alright, now some animal study... gorilla?

[AliSaid]

You're getting heaps better with lighting, why not make the images smaller? (72dpi?) they'll be so much easier in the eyes, compact too! just a suggestion, keep it up buddy!

Alright, new month! I had to make a decision... Go for art or go normal and I decided to go for art. Now that I did that I HAVE to improve, or end up pretty much on the street. Even now it feels kinda unreal what consequence it has to make such a decision but thats life and it was me who said that he wants to decide for himself.

Now let's see how long it will take to adopt to such a life and how to life it.

@AliSaid - Don't really know what you mean, do you mean the original resolution or the size I post it here?^^ If it is the first then yeah, gonna try it but you must excuse me if I end up not liking it and do not do that And if you mean the second then yes, gonna post it in a smaller size to make it easier to look at and also to load faster

As for posting stuff here I will do it on a daily basis, mostly studies and sketches but I might do a personal piece from time to time. Let's hope it will be even more fun that I am expecting!

And now the first sketch of the month, some perspective thingie:

Animal study, Kookaburra:

Your referenced studies are looking seriously awesome. Keep at it! My advice would be to work some more perspective construction, even if it's just vanishing points and guiding lines. Also, don't be afraid to go over your anatomy books a few times - you'll often find little jewels that you thought you missed, and it's a real treat to see yourself improving both in comprehension and in practice as you go along.

Good luck - work hard and get awesome!

First steps in character design:

[Christoffer]

Major progress in such short amount of time. Props.
Keep those value and anatomy studies coming.

You are saying first steps in character design, did you do silouhettes
from those as well I wonder how they would look like.

I do the sihouettes after I decided what pose I need, the see if its
a strong pose or not !
