[GrayPersona]

good studies mate,nice linework and variety.watch more carefully for general proportions though in some of your heads.

[M.Calza]

>> Xcarbon >> Tnx man I'm glad that you're drawing more
>> smrrfette >> Tnnxx
>> Spudonkey >> Tnx man, I'll
>> GrayPersona >> Yeah, that's been a problem I'm trying to look at the full figure when drawing instead of focusing on separate parts to fix that, tnx for commenting


Some figures (some from imagination and some from ref), heads from imagination, some clothing stuff, and a character.
Hmm...I'm feeling that I not have a specific direction in my studies.

looking good

Some nice stuff here! I appreciate the attention to detail in the clothing, and the movement in your gestures.
Something to look out for is landing the head on the neck properly - sometimes it seems to be escaping a little, and other times squashing in too far. Looking forward to watching your progress!

Amazing sketchbook. You're definitely on the right track. You just motivated me to open that anatomy book and rip it off ! There are few people that have such a great commitment when it comes to anatomy. I admire you !

[lupre]

really nice anatomy. reminds me of me having to do some practicing.
do you have a source for references? i'm searching for a good site where i can reference anatomy.
nice sketches! noice indeed!
best regards.

Really great stuff man. You're doing everything I'm practicing, everything I should be practicing and more. Learning a ton from this as well as another book that probably needs to go in my library. Thank you.

My only thing I"m seeing that could perhaps use some of the same attention you've given everything else are facial studies. Faces seem a bit off to me right now. I really have no room to talk but some studies of the skull and features would be awesome to see.

[M.Calza]

>> ArticusV >> Tnx
>> Brakken >> Yeah I notice that I studied heads and bodys separate and now I'm having a hard time putting them together, tnx for commenting
>> ivan4oto >> Tnx man!! Go destroy that book now!
>> lupre >> Tnx man, for reference I use these:

and for books I highly recommend Michael Hampton's figure drawing, really easy book to begin with.Good luck!

>> Aaron_Radney >> Tnx man , I'll look at that.


For now I did 2 characters from imagination and them try to loose up my lines a little with some clothing/style/visuallibrary stuff.

wow your line quality and wieght is getting awesome! Loving the sketches you are doing! Cant wait to see more!! Thanks for stopping by my sketchbook earlier!

[Vezarez]

Some really awesome improvement happening here, I'll have to keep an eye on this sketchbook!

[Chris Sanders]

Hey Calza, thanks for stopping by my sb the other day dude, sorry its taken so long for me to reply. I like the recent sketchbook shots man, some cool designs and decent posing going on. maybe adjust the contrast when you scan some of these in cus there pretty hard to read in some cases. Try to make sure that your characters are grounded and balanced properly, most are pretty strong, but like the dude with the lead pipe looks like hes toppling a little. Love the outdoor sketches, just keep busy man and you'll do fine.

[Delmar]

HEy Calza, looking really good!. Keep up the pace.

Your lines are getting better and better. One tip regarding those environment studies....everything is soft in your studies. try to to see the soft and hard edges in the reference and think about how you can paint it. But don't worry too much about it right now, learning perspective and anatomy is the most important thing for now!

cheers
