We will post our daily studies of photos, masters or digital paintings and studies through references.
We are doing this project in order to learn from the stuff around us and build up our basic skills.

**n1frit** · July 6th, 2011, 04:37 AM

Thanks for cheking my SB. Its a lot need to do).
Deviant works looks good, a bit abstract but good. About that thread, i think works will looks better is the edges of surfaces and scratches will be not such obvious and not will so be evident.
Keep it up)

**Stryke** · July 8th, 2011, 01:08 PM

hey, yeah you are right)
I'll care about it

MGS4 Study 2

**menjah** · July 9th, 2011, 05:44 AM

cybernetics... difficult. Didn't plan out the lines / colors so well in this one. no refs, but I probably should have used one for the back since its too manly XD

**maria riaz** · July 9th, 2011, 06:45 AM

**Stryke** · July 11th, 2011, 07:44 PM

heavy anvil concept study

**VirgL** · July 11th, 2011, 07:52 PM

Call of the wintermooooooooonnn
Here are some stars for your good taste in music !

You should do more studies from life before trying to nail stuff from imagination.. best way to spend your time drawing at your current level in my opinion.. you have potential, your linework is already pretty fluid. Do more anatomy studies and dont be shy to draw on paper hehehe
See you around

**Stryke** · July 12th, 2011, 02:05 PM

lol yeah, immortal are a classic, but I personally don't like most of their songs; there are masses of better DBM/BM bands out there

who are you talking to? we are 2 guys, not one... dammit.. you probably mean menjah. but yeah you are right..

PEOPLE, use @NAME

Week 4: Scenery

**menjah** · July 12th, 2011, 07:10 PM

**Stryke** · July 13th, 2011, 02:14 PM

I am recently pissed by the non-sharpness of strokes...
one thing I dislike most.

whatever..

study from photo

**takashmen** · July 13th, 2011, 03:23 PM

hi,
if you painting green treat it as if it wasn't really green
try to experiment with colours, add some shadows, even if you're doing photo study

keep it up

**menjah** · July 13th, 2011, 10:29 PM

Nice going stryke, I wish I could paint gradually like that :/ (with even transitions of color and such)
2-2.5h
