very nice figure exploration mate!!! some of the legs seem to be in unnatural positionings(because of extremes). Everything is improving!!! keep up the great work

[Hai]

Great studies and exploration! Looks like you sometimes have a tendency to be a little inconsistent with your limbs though. Especially your legs are often a bit long, I think.

Really dig your painting, you seem to have a knack for that

[Angel Intheuk]

You've got anatomy down, you can see the muscles and bones under the skin, nice work. I noticed too that the limbs are inconsistant with sizes and can look a bit too rubbery with the extreme poses. But that's the sort of thing that comes with practice.

[zou]

Kungfoowiz: well thanks for crit. i will try to fix that limbs problems
xAeSoNx: thanks dude
Ricardo Robles: thanks , thanks very motivating
kingkostas : thanks for the crit,, the extreme you mean the leg ?
Hai: thanks, i ll try to figure out the limb problem (tried to idealize)
Angel Intheuk: thanks for crit

these are supposed to be submarine, perhaps it's too much jetfighter look

[Kungfoowiz]

Heey bro! =) Drawings are looking shit hot lately! =) Like your faces a lot =) Subs are pretty qwl, kinda agree with you, maybe take a look at some sub ref and check out what the main qualities of subs are.. think like bulbous nose or something and then that entrance at the top, a periscope maybe.. also engines which clearly look like they work under water.. anyway I'm talking shit cuz I can't even draw that yet.. hahah.. Nice work on the perspective too =) Have fun with your next stuffies =)

[Angel Intheuk]

Hiya Yeah they look like jets at the moment but I don't know anything about subs to suggest anything, kungfoowiz's suggestions make sense they do look streamlined for airflow and not water. Maybe just suggesting bubbles, fish and fractured lighting from above would add to the effect. Nice work, like the designs and your characters, are they for a story?

[zou]

Kungfoowiz: hi dude.Well; i thought about the airplanes things to make them look more agile machine.

Angel Intheuk: the light from above is pretty nice idea, i didn't thought about it. but the whole story changed since now i must do a story for little children.

i did some sketches for a story of girl talking to animals and living shorts stories to save each time one of them.
i reused one of the girl i draw earlier since it fitted the story.

the first shows she's is awakened by a firefly.


some bad hunters to endangers the animals


the little noisy brother

the mother

the girl

it really finished looking like mononoke's god animal

[Kungfoowiz]

Hey bro, your latest works are great, I like the feeling in the cartoon, the building is super well drawn imho, and the feeling of light is very nice, I like that lot =) Not sure what to crit you on, lull.. really sorry =) Mmm, ah, maybe more detail in the bird's feathers, lull.. sorry it's the best I could think of.. hope it helps =) Keep up the drawing bro, go go! =)

[zou]

Kungfoowiz: thanks thanks for you constant support

long time not done a portrait, i'm feeling rust

[Kungfoowiz]

Sarra is great bro, the drawing is particularly good! =) Hair is looking really nice too =)

[zou]

thanks Kungfoowiz

this time i tried a new set of brush, the result is pretty much the same

[n1frit]

Nice portrait! Concepts are good too)

[kingkostas]

Hello mate!!! Yep i was meaning the leg
You are doing great, love the lines. The eagle makes nice combination of line and color. keep it up mate!!!

[Kungfoowiz]

Hey bro, latest portrait is pretty amazing =) Possibly one of your best tbh =) Keep pushing yourself to more and more colour =)

[zou]

n1frit: thanks
kingkostas: always a pleasure to see your comments
Kungfoowiz: thanks thanks, i'm doing those portraits to get rid of rust

another portrait

[Charmer]

Hey Zou!!! Your portraits are going to be asskicking! very good improvement, keep going!

[Angel Intheuk]

nice studies zou #701 is great. I really like the storyboard too, nice colours and the first panel is nicely drawn. The only crit I would have is that the firefly would have more effect if the girls room is dark at the start. As she is asleep to begin with then gets awakened by the light I think it would make more sense. Keep up the great work!

[Kungfoowiz]

That's a good portrait bro, I like it very much =) Checks like a golfer =) Or maybe he is a mercenary =) Lull =) Liking that you're getting rid of the rust, it's awesome to see =) Good luck with your next study bro =)

[§Hy9oD]

im digging your sketches for the story the girl remind me of someone :p
your last portrait is great too done with sAI ?

[zou]

Charmer: thanks for the nice words
Angel Intheuk:hmmm... your storytelling idea is much better but very challenging. i imagine it would work easily for animation (or real action movie)
i'll remember such way of thinking next time.

Kungfoowiz:you're not so far, he's a veteran of war

§Hy9oD: thanks thanks buddy, someone ?
the last portrait is done with photoshop

another 'getting rid of rust' exercice
1h30 :too much for this result

[Kungfoowiz]

Hey bro =) The rust is flaking! =) If I may suggest something it maybe be to add maybe one more value to your lights, so we have more form turning there.. Could make your shadow slightly darker too.. anyway I don't know how to paint shit so I shouldn't be giving too much advice, lull.. =) Good luck with your next study bro =)

[~KJK~]

really nice portraits zou, sorry for not being around here too often

[Ricardo Robles]

Nice comic! and lovely faces, the studies are paying off.
keep doing good Zou!

[zou]

Kungfoowiz: you're totally right mate, i tried to use lower contrast tand add some accents to get it more 'pro' like. it seems like a fail

Parsakoira: hey, long time parsa, thanks for stopping by.

Ricardo Robles: thanks thanks, i feel more confident with your encouragements.

[Kungfoowiz]

Top marks man, think the rust is peeling off like a hurricane! =) Good luck with your next study =)

[zou]

Kungfoowiz: alwaus a pleasure bro

[Kungfoowiz]

Hey bro, your figure study is looking pretty sweet =) Can see you are working your lights a lot more now, they are a bit clearer on this one than your last figure =) As crits would maybe suggest to work things you feel weak on, maybe a bit more work on hands or feet or whatever you feel you need to work on bro =) Keep on rocking bro and good luck with your next study! =)

[zou]

Kungfoowiz: thanks, i think it's a matter of work too. sometimes i stop after 1h or 1h30. just to keep timed works

another 'quick' study

[Kungfoowiz]

Wow.. your rendering is coming along nicely =) Great work on the arms and pelvis, especially that arm, and the hand too =) No crits tonight, you're working well and it's good to see =)

[zou]

Kungfoowiz: thanks thanks
