Beware of Mull77's sexatronic eyes

[mull77]

Hi All!

This is the first time i've gathered the courage to start a sketchbook. What i'm looking for is some good C&C on where i could improve. Thanks in advance!

Oldies first:

ah very nice... definately be watching this one. Well done all around, though your hands dont seem to be up to the level of everything else. I especially like the ones where you're added dark and light tones... making me want to get a sketchbook with mid-tone paper. Please, baby, don't stop.

[Kie Smylee]

Wow, mull77. Your work is quite good. I like your creatures. And nice shading, especially on that one with the gas mask and hood. Quality!

[xXMizu_NinjaXx]

WOW these are AMAZING! What do you use to draw them? I hope i can become as good as you someday. , Your spider robot is really aswomE!

Thanks a lot!

Ferg & Kie: You spotted my little hand problem then? (not that i have little hands, but have a little problem with them.......you know what i mean )

It's the same with feet, and i know i should push myself to sketch them more.

xXMizu_NinjaXx: Just paper and pencils, and photoshop for colours. That's going to change hopefully as i've just got my first Wacom. Hard to get used to!

Here's the result:

[blacky]

I speacially like the atmosphere/ environment in the one you started using big brushes.
Could you post some more environments?....PLEASE?
I beg you.....

[mull77]

Thanks Blacky!

I'm gonna be getting back to some enviromets soon, cos i really need the practice.

some pencil stuff first though.

[daqu]

very cool stuff here
i love that old guy with the hat in your last post
do you use ref for your faces? where do you get those?

[mull77]

Thanks Daqu!

Yeh, i used a reference for him and for the left pic of the girl above him (the other one i drew by looking at the first pic).

I think i might have found it on Getty or somewhere like that.

[mull77]

Just found some old-ish sketches i forgot to post

[mull77]

and new ones (although the guy with the gun at the top is beyond crap )

[mull77]

On fire today!

Never thought that chain mail could be so annoying to paint.

[Idiot Apathy]

Lookin really good dude! Your making leaps and bounds!

P.S. Coloring book misses you, and your lines... and colors... ahem.

[brokk]

Really cool sketchbook mull, I can't think of any crits : S

Post more stuff : )

[mull77]

Idiot Apathy: Thanks a lot dude I've been meaning to get back over there and pitch in but works been a bitch lately (which is why it was about a month since i last updated here) . Now i've got a bit more free time i'll see you over there.

bRØk3n_sPiRiT: Thanks a lot. Had a look at your the other day. Great stuff.

And because i don't ever seem to do any, here are some landscape speedies:

[Ryan DeMita]

Hey there. You have some very nice work going on here. I love your style of character sketching. I also love the detail you incorporate into the design of some of some characters. I hope to see more.

[max1975]

Wow, awesome stuff here. Especially the headshots, you do a really nice job with those. I can't crit anything right now, too dazzled. But I'll be back.

[GaryBedell]

I really enjoy looking through your work, it keeps me interested. I WANT MORE!!

[mull77]

GaryBedell/max1975/Ryan DeMita : Thanks a lot guys! Glad you could drop by.

Here a couple more. I don't know what's going on with the mouse thing, but trust me, cheese is the last thing he wants.

[styler]

i'm surprised you had to gather courage to post those, they are awesome. That mouse is vicious looking.

[ManiakS]

Good stuff. I like your linework and colour sketches. I'll be back soon

[codakromek]

Wow, sweet progress. You are on with some nice systems.

Have to pick a favorite, and it is the little yellow mecha that could. I think that tiny little drawing is awesome.

Keep up the good variety. and the studies.

[ChrisMayernik]

Sweet designs. Try not to use 100% black in your paintings. Think of your darks ( on a scale from 0 black to 100 light) as 8 or 5 at 30 or 40 saturation. Red cloth would be like 70 or 80 percent saturation in the shadow, and the accents have color in them. Just don't ever use pure black because that creates a black Hole in your pIcture that SUCKsss all possible hope of achieving good readable values. Try using the HSB slider if you use photoshop.

[Zord]

Mull, nice mix of works you have here. The style you've got going is working for you. If I can offer one crit though, I noticed in some of your sketches that you tend to outline things. It flattens the work and takes away from the volume and mass that's actually there. But other then that, good work!

[Mikko Voipio]

It's great to see that some people have imagination, cause I lack of that completely. Very nice job on the shading and overal tonality in your work. Looking at your drawings I see I have along way to go.
