Yeah man, it's been a while, as part of your SB, we demand an update, UPDATE!!!! ANYTHING!!! j/k, hope to see some stuff soon

[Noë]

Heya
I agree with the others.. I'd like to see a new update ^^
What college are you going to, and which sort of education is it?

About the updates; I think you're really showing loads of improvement. I really liked this one and this one, first one because of the light lines and because that colour really added something there. And the second one because the colour works pretty good, with little detail still nice result.

I think on the posemaniacs you're doing great form and proportion wise, but the lines are pretty scribbly. Try to maybe do some in ballpoint and pretty quick ones, so you don't have time to do the same line 5 times again. The form is looking great so you don't need al those scribbly lines to find the form, I think you can capture it in one line just as well Also sometimes a nice method is to draw very lightly and then draw the right line a bit thicker so that it stands out as the right line. Scribbly isn't always bad

I see the heads are improving Nice portrait studies..

Well I don't think I have more crits..
Just keep the sketchyness up.. Hope you're doing good with college and all!

Love
Marleen.

Hello everyone, I am terribly sorry!!!!!!!!!!
I've been such a lame-ass
the only explenation I can give is I liked the moment I didn't have a laptop + acces to internet. now I have my new laptop, (scanner not installed, no photoshop either) I'll try to update Asap!
again my greatest apologies! especially because I wanted a sketchgroup so badly. I just never thought school +singing classes+ scouts whould be so much time consuming.
when I can get my hands on a camera I'll drop a few pictures in here.

[0shade0]

ugh... photo no scan
black ballpoint, roughing some photos. and crap i better had left out.







more hippo's in the future...

[Sawa]

woohoo an update!
cant say much on it thoughl...
just go on with the ball point pen stuff. your lines look very fuzzy right now and if you cant erase them you'll surely improve in your line confidence
now ´post some more stuff, dude!

[Retronym]

Keep drawing mang! You improve automatically by drawing, just go for it.

I started practicing on A2 with blue ballpoint, it gave me an idea,
this is just random, but I'm gonna make something similer but a bit better thought out.
ps: sorry it took so long for another update, when i get some stuff back from school i'll post it here too.

[0shade0]

just dribbles. A2 again
sorry for the sucky camera quality.

[0shade0]

getting back at my normal drawing rate.
i guess my school exams were some kind of holiday.

[Sawa]

[0shade0]

two little quick sketches from the morning, the photographs don't do them justice.
SAWA: thank you^^I will

bitterbink means 'bitter stud' in dutch :p his name came to me just before i fell into sleep.

[Maestro Andres]

Hey mate, it's being a long time but nice to see you updating more. The last sketches are looking nice, good use of pencilwork. Maybe you can try varying more the values in them to give them more volume.
The bitterbink man is a nice concept and nice stylization. I will pay attention to the placement of the legs as right now it looks a bit off balance. I hope this helps and keep us updating!

[0shade0]

thanks mate, I know, the legs are my point of avoidence, i need to work on that. pencil volume coming up!
here's a little portrait in gouache, about 5,5 cm in height. need to work on painting too.

[0shade0]
