Not quite finished, but not sure when I'll get back to it.
Was really a joy to paint on!

[openanewworld]

Idiot Apathy , looks great man, I really like the color you use, if you can give me some comments on my coloring that will be great, hopefully you can finish it sometimes later

[zenichi]

it might sound dumb... but here goes the question:- did you sketch the Medusa using Wacom or traditional pencil then scan it? by the way, your sketches and pencil strokes (if they are pencil strokes) are very fluid. thanks for sharing!

[Chuck,mate.]

superb SB. absolutely fresh and eye-popping.
a pleasure to browse through it.

[Nigh7shad3]

sweeet! Your understanding of anatomy and human figures are solid!

....I wish mine was U__U

[chiodo]

your lines are purely amazing!

i need to work on mine desperately.
could you maybe share some knowledge on line weight, flow, etc?
are your lines just naturally like that or do you pay attention to
specific things while you draw?
thanks in advance.

[openanewworld]

Okay some boring character designs

chiodo, about the line my setup is pretty much defualt brush I turn on shape dynamics and other dynamics, I usually start with 20% oppacity and then use 50% or even 80% to draw on top of it, I never remove the draft lines, maybe just erase a bit, hopefully that helps

Nigh7shad3, thank you

Chuck,mate. thank you

zenichi, I use wacom to do that picture, I haven't worked a lot with pencil I just use it for my real sketch book

[Cwn Annwn]

Hehe, an aussie theme this time. Nice figures as usual! Hope to see more. ^__^

[Stark]

Looking good...I dunno if these people are cavemen or africans...but if so, then the brow prominence for blacks aren't as pronounced in the profile or front shit, and the noses generally aren't that wide. You've pushed the eyes completely out of the picture for the most part. Things look good though, lines and design are original in my opinion.

[openanewworld]

Stark, thanks man you always have some good critique to me, I agree the facial anatomy is not good enough, because it is my first time to draw some australian aborigional people, keep kicking my ass man I like it

Cwn Annwn, thank you you know it is Assie I am very happy about that, for that reason I will show you more

[Cwn Annwn]

Good to see more! Yes of course I recognise them, I don't see anything wrong with the facial design. They definitely look aboriginal, which is completely different from the faces of African descended peoples.

Only thing is I think you aren't as confident drawing aboriginal faces, so it's the flow that suffers. No problem there - you're very skilled. I'm sure you'll learn quickly. But otherwise, very good!!

[DeMoon]

you have very good sketches!

[cubesoflard]

Just popped in was to check out your work. You got nothing but praise from me. Your anatomy is solid and very proportional. Very nice,

[Rax]

Really awesome sketchbook one of the best, very dynamic poses and shit keep it going

[Stark]

Oh, well now that you mention that these are aboriginal aussies, then they look spot on. I didn't know what you were going for though, soyeah..keep trucking and pay no attention to me

Sorry for confusing you

[openanewworld]

Stark, no worry man you have some good points through, I like your critiques

Rax, cubesoflard, DeMoon, thanks man

Cwn Annwn, yeap I have to learn them faster becasue I am going to make a comic with those characters, a boring comic

[bumskee]

herman, stop drawing.. you are making me nervous...

[Texahol]

lots of really amazing stuff in here, glad to know there are more azns in australia who are kicking major ass...damnit


..oh and min, you're a cow.

[Mr.Delicious]

you got the touch... you got the power.

I love what youre doing, I'm open to battle anytime.

[Idiot Apathy]

Bloody great herman, I'm with min - no more art, quit and become a chef ok? *jealoussss*

Your colors? Are fantastic, nothing I can really crit honestly! If you have any questions or things that are giving you trouble let me know if I can help in any way buddy.

[openanewworld]

Idiot Apathy, thank you so much, I have a lot of questions, but I honestly feel I did too less color practices, I will do more, when I have pictures I will call your help for sure, your skill is truely making me feel jealous same as min

Mr.Delicious, thank you, a battle? maybe after I feel a bit confident about color I will join the character of week, now I am too scared to go there

Texahol, thank you shout for Aussie, hopefully my company can make some cool games too

bumskee, you have the most nope right person to say that, I really should learn more color for sure, hate and love to see your color practises

[Viking Raider]

I love the facial expressions your figures have. You've got the body language and positioning nailed. It's not too often I can look at someone's sketchbook and feel like the person is coming through the screen at me. In a word: WOW. Thank you for posting!

VR

[Jushra]

ah, pretty. i've got nothing to say but 'thank you, 'keep posting' and 'high five'. no crits here.
