Look over here 2.5 Optimized

[kevin_]

Hello guys my names kevin and still 18, had a sketchbook on here couple months ago but has since been lost in oblivion :b so il start this sketchbook and keep it updated! since then i did manage to keep a sb on cghub so for my first post il give you guys a dump of highlights from that sb to get you guys up to date! so i think ill put traditional work first than digital in the next two posts. hope you guys dig my stuff and want to here all your crits!

i am not gonna bother to put things in chronological order. some are old especially the paintings which go back to a year or 2 ago.i see a pencil piece in specific with a date on it, but most are relatively from the last couple of months.

so here it is:
Traditional

[kevin_]

so some of this stuff is very crude, especially the environments which i just started to try and get better at, but i want to blame it all on the fact that this is my first year practicing with digital work. anyways im just making excuse :b

and digitals:






























So there you go your up to date! now plz let me here your thoughts!

[Gpozzo]

Very nice start man, great stuff with your anatomy studies, keep working with those landscape studies, keep it up, i'd like to see some more

[kevin_]

thanks gpozzo!

and sorry to say that this is all i have to post for the work i did in recent day,
i dont usually post with only one piece but busy weekend :b

anyways this is a quick sketch of an angel chick, quick lines and values

[Voodoo_Mama]

keeeviiiiinnnnnn!!!!!
It's great to see you're over here as well ;P
great drawings~ I love the moleskin ones.
as always, wonderful rendering, specially on the portrait of the girl on post#3

[Natalia Soleil]

You have some nice studies going, well done

[cgaddict]

Very solid work here! I really enjoy your clean style and your use of values is top notch. I'll definitely be watching your progress, keep up the great work!

[Andre-Sutherland]

Really love the anatomy studies, your landscapes lack a bit of depth at the moment, but the more you do the better they will get keep at!

[crow winters]

Your figures are really powerful. I love your colors quite a bit. I agree with the above poster that the scenery doesn't have the same punch, and I wonder if part of it is the color choice, which is a bit crayola-e and oddly out of sync with your mesmerizing pallets on your people.

[Velocity Kendall]

wow, love the last 3 in post 3, they're cracking!
wowsers!

[SMILEFACE]

WICKED PENCILS kevin_ AN THE STUDIES ARE AWESOME XDXDXD

[marluu_1]

I really like your landscapes ) the female bodies look really awesome too. who modeled for them? and couldn't help but notice which sketches are people's favorite Keep em coming !

[Obstfelder]

Some really sharp paintings you have here. Especially the faces look fantastic.

You mentioned you want to improve your landscapes. Don't know how close the ones you have posted are to your reference, but you could probably improve by paying more attention to the angles of the shapes. The mountain sides seem to be too parrallel for example. Also you use only hard edges where you probably should use a mix of soft and hard, like where the mountains meets the water.

Keep posting and stay happy.

[Fernteixeira]

yeah man... the ones Velocity Kendall said about... they are just WOW

[Wholewheat_keyboard]

Wow a lot of really strong work! Your anatomy and portraits are excellent. The last one and the profile painting really stand out.

I really like the detailed pencil sketches near the top of your sb too.

Want to see more

Hey man thanks for dropping by my sb, your sketch book is headed somewhere nice, your proporsions are a little unstable, it seems to be the biggest issue.
