Hello guys I am new here ~ n My name is 'El calvin '
i just read that i can post my sketches here O.O .

I am a anime artist who is trying to shift into Concept art ~ so i will be posting my daily sketches here , ( i decided i will post every single practice sketch no matter how mad it is O.O )
i hope you guys critique my artworks n help me to improve ^^

i made this after watching FZD school vids . where i learnt that i must learn to see all things in 3d shape , this will make easy to remember
i did a lot of sketches like this ~

For a start i drawn Anatomy with my current Lvl ~ i will count this as a starting point to see how much i can improve in 1 year @.@

Thanks for stopping by my book man. Looks like your anime style still flows trough with a lot of your anatomy. But Since you have a good grasp on their shapes, I would say practice rendering them in light and shadow. Cause either way you view it Anime/realistic/concept art. Rendering their forms properly, from what i have seen, can make the difference. And understanding shape and form (Which I still Lack). Ha ha. Either way man AWEsome Book. Ill be back so post away!

Man, you got some amazing studies here. Very clean line art. And how the heck did you draw that basket with the million lines, lol. Anyways, you're much better than me so the only thing I can spot is that those bodies of the girls seem to be lacking a proper hip.

that basket took me hell of a lot time ~.~"". it was really irritating to draw it, XP but i challenged my self that if i can't draw a basket then i should better be leave art XD

and about those gal's hip @.@"" i can't support anything wrong Q.Q but i hope with more study i will be able to support n improve that XP

thanx again for a good comment X3

In shame, din't wanted to upload my these drawings but i think i should learn to accept the truth
this is how i draw . i want to improve these but don't know where to start . i don't even know if i should draw fast to increase my speed or draw slow so i could grasp as much as possible from every single reference .

and environment drawings , i just started those do have no idea what i am doing , as far as i heard i need to improve my perspective skills . so already doing it n seems like i am improving . ( few months ago i could not even tell that
how many perspective points are in pic XD )
