Guess it is kinda hard to tell that Iam uploading images into my sketchbook. I changed my avatar sorry.

**SprayNation** · November 2nd, 2006, 01:14 AM

Really nice environments Beelow! The intentional 3 point perspective makes your buildings feel more monumental. Pretty good understanding of anatomy too! Might practice gesturing a little more to work out some of the stiffness in your figures. But the knowledge of anatomy is there. Nice work overall man!

Your environmental stuff is way cool! and that last Chow entry drawing I like in particular. Great painting style but keep working on those figures studies to loosen your figures up a bit. Nice, Nice work!

**elisa** · November 2nd, 2006, 03:47 AM

**Ylla** · November 2nd, 2006, 05:49 PM

**Beelow** · November 3rd, 2006, 11:23 PM

SprayNation-Thanx Eric. Will do! Yeah I will work on that. I think I get to caught up in detail a bit too much which is distracting hehe. Thanx for stopping by!

silvestri99- Thanx for stopping by! I will I promise! XD

elisa- thanx elisa! I got some more now. not the best but I had a fun time doing the portraits. I am trying to get my Eon entry down. Tnhanx for dropping by! XD

Ylla-Thanx Yila. I dressed as that for Halloweeen hahaha, and was butt naked! JK! I did not do anything but draw that night and watched my kid while the other little one went trick or treating. Thanx for dropping by.XD

Here is some portraits I did for the Nov. 1st thingy(I had loads of fun) and some more updates of my Eon.

**Cup of Joe** · November 4th, 2006, 11:17 PM

Keep it up!

**Obi-one** · November 6th, 2006, 12:11 PM

Good stuff here.

I particulary like your architecture works and your 3rd post.

There's some cool paintings too.

Cup of Joe-thanx dude, I particularly like with the toned paper. I usually have fun on the toned paper.

Obi-one-Thanx for posting dude! More environments to come! XD

**BarretThomson** · November 19th, 2006, 01:43 PM

Hello Beelow! I was cruising the forums when I saw that you were from Vegas. I just stopped by to say hello and found that you have some awesome work here. Keep it up!

-Barret

**Bartovan** · November 19th, 2006, 03:37 PM

I like those buildings you make; but i think they could use some more details overall. Also nice style in the figure drawings. Keep on posting.

**Beelow** · November 24th, 2006, 05:43 PM

Horray! No more mouse painting! I will have some more stuff up soon.

BarretThomson- Thanx for dropping by. Just dropped by your sb and your work is pretty hot dude!

Bartovan- I will eventually post some stuff soon. I am trying to work on moodsetting and color for my environments and maybe some of my character designs as well. These are areas I am most struggling in and also my character designs. I am trying to break out of relying to heavily on ref. for character designs, I don't do it often but sometimes my stock photos call to me and tell me to open it cause I just dont know what something looks like or 'how does this look in this lighting situation'. I am currently experimenting with texture to get some detail in my works but that will not be the main focus of my studies though, its part of it though, hehe. Back to detailing the crap out of my stuff, I think that may be not necessary as I have seen very successful works that does not require one to detail the crap out of it. I think that I was one thing thatI used to do and thought that is what made illustrations successful. Nope found out it is about composition(another beast that I am studying)! So this is to let you know where I am headed with my improvement. Thanx again for posting.XD

**designboot** · November 24th, 2006, 07:26 PM

Very cool enviroment sketches you have here

cheers

**Listing** · December 2nd, 2006, 12:05 AM

Some great work. Keep tightening your drawing and your paintings will really start to pop.

**Beelow** · December 4th, 2006, 09:15 AM

designboot-Thanx! XD They could be better though.

Listing-Thanx a bunch. I am working on it. Who'd thought that color and composition was going to be easy...I did a while ago. Now I am starting see things clearly or not, maybe. XD

I have an old environment I though I would do in color and a couple of other pieces. The last was a quick 20 min to see what I can bust out in that amount of time. More environment pencils to come...just gotta figure when I am to scan them.

**arttorney** · December 4th, 2006, 12:34 PM

You got perspective down on a level that most can't reach. I wouldn't worry about the color thing. I can see that you are trying out several combinations of warm and cool lately, and some of them are working quite well. It all just comes down to practice, doesn't it? The color of the enviros in post 40 worked best for me.

You have a lot of dramatic creativity when picking a point of view for enviroments. Cool!

**Beelow** · December 6th, 2006, 01:11 PM

Thanx arttorney! Kind words coming from ya buddy! Well that is my Eon and I am trying to figure that one as well. I hope I can polish that super good hehe! Yeah Color has been the thing that has always slow me down. So I am trying to figure it out. And there is composition and taking a graphic approach to my work which is really difficult for me to understand. So I am trying to find a way to approach my work and have fantastic results. I am looking to create Iconic and Epic images with great narrative. That is the goal.

**kallisti** · December 6th, 2006, 03:34 PM

I think I like your self-portrait the most, I like the mood it captures.

I especially love seeing work that has been sketched out then digitally colored, does something for my eyes and feels very solid.

**Orifice** · December 12th, 2006, 12:46 PM

Heya Beelow! Nice nice stuff ya got inhere! I like the enviros especially. This latest revisited one and the tree-house look awesome. So I've gotten my hands on the information that we'll fight to the death in the Art school vs self taught draw off! This'll be a great heap o' fun, I like your stuff alot. Big chanse that I will be wooped, cry, then drink som milk. Yes, that is what will probably happen. So yeah good luck! Well, seya!

**designboot** · December 12th, 2006, 01:02 PM

I like the perspective in yours sketches

**Mr Man** · December 12th, 2006, 01:06 PM

Some of those environments are damn good. I really really like the giiiiannt tree, it almost gives me vertigo. Your ideas behind your pieces are unique and inspiring. I can see your digi painting is coming along well too, dont stop updating!

Rich

**Beelow** · December 14th, 2006, 06:48 AM

kallisti- I tend to have the most trouble with doing pencil sketches and then doing then up digitally. hehe. I always want to stay true to my sketches. Thanx for the kind words! XD

Orifice-Thanx for dropping by dude! Yeah I seen your sketchbook and I am suprised that I have to match up with ya. It looks like I got my hands full as well. I see that your character works is far superior than mines and you top me on color. So I am going to have to pull a hat trick or something to win against the mighty Oriface!!! Thanx for the kind words and don't worry about the comments in the TD thread. I like to talk a bunch of crap and have a bit of fun with the other guys and gals there!

designboot- Thanx designboot! Your support has been great dude. I am glad that you stop by often dude. Yeah perspective is fun, I have the biggest issues with figures though hehe!

Mr Man- I am glad that my work is unique, that is a first! XD It puts a smile on my face that you think that. I always thought that was a problem that I have had was my originality. It makes me smile even more that my work is inspiring to you as well! You just boosted my ego a bit hehe! Yeah I will continue to update, fa sho! Thanx for stopping by!

**BlackGuy** · December 14th, 2006, 07:41 AM

whoa man, your environments are really improving. I really like those two isolated doors, and your first self portrait.

**Beelow** · December 15th, 2006, 04:59 AM

BlackGuy-Thanx BlackGuy. Those doors did not take too long hehe. XD

Eon update(latest, I think), A speedy and another one I am rendering out. Damn I am sucking with color! XD

**maxetormer** · December 15th, 2006, 04:49 PM
