Welcome to the asylum ::: normal people are dangerous!

Nice first post!

[Snowsfall]

some random sketchbook pages




and some sp's

[O D T]

very nice shading!! you're problem is: youre lines are sometimes off!! you should study anatomy, so that you can have great&correct shapes, shaded nicely! An example is that profile of that man with the scar in your sketchbook, who's skull is about half as long as it should be!!
check out my sketchbook if you have time!!

[Burning Eyes]

Very nice sketchbook pages here! I'll be checkin up again soon!

[Snowsfall]

mini-update


the girl is from life





karma- thanks

[mos667]

Excellent stuff. Your thread shows amazing progression, keep up the great work.

Love the figure drawings from life (the portraits too) but I think you need to work on anatomy studies along with getting the proportions right when you are working without reference.

You've got a year and a day on me, I have to catch up :-P

[Fellah.]

Some of these pencildrawings are really beautiful dude! Nice!

[Snowsfall]

Fellah- thanks

mos667- your completely right, anatomy studies are things i always manage to avoid doing, and im suffering because of it


some from life and some from my head




Idea for a painting, but then i pussied out and painted something else cause im afraid of trying to paint a city









a quick tattoo design for a friend of a friend, god i hate Illustrator

[Snowsfall]

Im alive!
I kinda died for awhile there, spent the last couple of weeks partying away the end of my senior year in high school.
Now Im ready to get back into this.

gouache, ignore the little black spots that look like stubble, its from rubbing up against the other pages

the girl's eyes from may 17th are amazing. ..and the sketch from ref from nov is AMAZING. would love to see you do more studies from photos...it's where you'll really learn the subtelties of rendering flesh.

keep it up
