(update 20/5/2013) from now on art study is the most important thing in my life!!

[Utum]

WOW man, this one looks great. I find the lighs and shadows much better looking in this one. Also the skin. The feet give me a strange feeling though, i dont know whats wrong with them.

The other studies are also amazing. One thing i found is that in the kid with sword. The sword seems big, but it does not tilt towards the tip. Even if the kid is incredibly strong (or the sword is plastic), i think it should tilt a bit downwards in the tip.

Overall great work. I envy your speed man.

[Matsign]

Your follow through with your life studies is something to respect. I'm blown away! I'm subscribing to this thread, I can't miss it.

[Sheavolution]

Hey, I pretty much like everything you do. Everything is full of life and I like the way you mix manga/anime with your more realistic style.. keep it up!

[designboot]

great works dude!

[openanewworld]

I am trying some ideas about the coloring because I get too used of lines and pencil even after some exercises I feel totally uncomfortable about just color stuffs or use color to construct or design the character like most people are doing here, I just feel so nope where when I am doing it, so I am trying some new ideas see wheather it will work at least make me feel comfortable to start with, okay I will try to post some work progresses here haha too much bull shit, also thank you guys like my sketch book!!

designboot, thanks

Sheavolution, thanks man yeap I need to get rid of the anime style in my drawing eventually, well hopefully

Matsign, thank you man, I will keep posting

Utum, thank you for your comment man I will fix the problem I hope, also yeap the girl shoulder and hip should react the weight of the sword, just a quick sketch so think not that many but thanks for your critiques give me more thanks

Chaotica, dkounios, thank you dude

i think the last one gets overpowered by the shading,you lose quite some details. might work better with dotted shading,if at all. i think the lines only version is better,and perfect for colouring practices (àla gezstar f.ex.).

[Calis]

This stuff is really amazing
I LOVE your life drawings, they're so beautifully done. Where do you do your life dawing lol? I never get good models in my class.

[Stu_art]

WOW! You're very talented and I love your style. Thanks for showing your work and providing inspiration to keep going. I'll go back to the drawing board now...*starts sketching madly*

[Stark]

Nice life studies...you grabbed the sigure and everything effortlessly it seems. How many times a week do you go to these? I'm planning on going to one next month some time too...gotta catch up to you man...The character designs are nice and the expressions are captured perfectly too...KUDOS man...

[dark_maggot]

Amazingly good stuff here. I love your sketching above all the stuff here.

m(_ _)m....Keep it up.

[taxman]

Hey, thank you for posting in my sketchbook. You know, I stumbled across your thread when you were still on page one, was inspired as hell, didn't leave a reply back then (shame on me) and was also unable to remember your name (more shame on me - I have this thing with names, you know?). Thank god I finally found you again, this time you're bookmarked and I repeat "openanewworld, openanewworld, openanewworld..." like a mantra.
Kickass drawings here, some of your stuff reminds of Scott Campbell's work. In a good way. You should take the time and teach Scott how to do it properly, if you don't mind. 5 stars, dunno' what to say really, I'm lost for words...

[Mischa rewrite]

.... I'm speechless! Insanely awesome I wanna draw as good as you! It's my life but I'm not quite conceptart.org material just yet. You should do some more what is it they call it habitat or scenery concepts? The ones where you draw like places and such rather than people. But of course I love character concepts more than anything, but maybe try some new stuff? Anyway.. I love your comix! I really want to see the words and such, you should finish and post it all so we can read it and see what's actually going on in the scenes. Keep up the excellent work man, hope to see more!

[DeathChalupa]

Love the fluidity you get across in that last pic... from the folds to the... magic.. stuff. The line quality for the figures are great too.

Looking through your past pages now...

[van]

It has truly been a joy going through your sketchbook. Keep up the wonderful work.

[artmessiah]

Very, Very cool SB. It makes me wanna find some time tonight and draw, Draw, DRAW!!

[Sketch]

That last girl pic made my loins stirrrrr. You're work has a great balance of anime/comic/realistic. Can't wait to see some more crazyness!

[openanewworld]

Sketch, thank you man but I seriosutly want to remove anime style from my drawing

artmessiah, draw is cool, draw and draw haaha I like it

van, thanks man I will update more this weekend very looking forward to it

DeathChalupa, thank you

Mischa rewrite, thank you man, I draw a lot of environments and machines and pros in work so when I back home I try to do some different things and I like character most, but yeap I should do more practises like other things, the comic, it is not my job to put the text so what I can hsow is what I have done, sorry not sure I will post the finsihed one here, need to ask my client

taxman, thanks man your sketchbook is great man, I like your new update too, about Scott Campbell, I totally feel you are joking, he is too great to even mention my name in front of him, his girl is awsome hot, and I learn heaps from his art, so man don't mention comparision I am fucken far from him dude

dark_maggot, thank you man, but above? I seriously not agree

Stark, thank you man I feel life drawing help me heeps so I keep doing it if I have money and time, sometimes I need to starve to have one life drawing lesson

Stu_art, thank you yeap drawing is fun, more fun than eating

Calis, I hire model by myself which costs alot, the good thing is you have good model

Carnifex, I have problem for long time which is I can't define shadow and light very well that is why I try to overdo it a bit to create strong line, I will post more update and you will know my meaning

Tantrom Frenzy, thanks man

[Utum]

quick reply. You are really amazing. The flowlines for the shadows are very neat, i wish i could do them like that. No crits this time. Keep posting dude

[Laurentius]

I cant really critique you because there is a huge skill gap but I think you could benefit by painting for a while and see how your skill applies to that. That will probably help you shading technique a lot.

[openanewworld]

Laurentius, yeap I know what do you mean, more practises, need more

Utum, thanks I will

I post the a bit work progress here, but I feel that guy I loose focus again, the color is not blending well again, I only like his hand color, damn it, I will start another one, critiques are welcome, please I need them

[Mr.Delicious]

Hmmm, I'd say up the contrast, make the book magic a lot brighter to bring him out more and add some more shadows to the character. maybe dull down the back lighting too.

forgive me for not helping more as I am not around my tablet right now... and these colors maybe be too dark because I'm on a laptop, but heres what i mean to an extent. I just played around with the levels and contrast to show you what i mean, hope you don't mind.

[openanewworld]

Mr.Delicious, thank you so much, yeap my contrast is a bit shit, I will make the light area lighter, also agree with you cast shadow is very week here, I will enhance that, thank you again I will try to fix it as soon as possible.

Okay I try to paint but end up boring so I go back to line to hide my frustration to my color work, god give me some pitty please,

[Jas0n 0n a Bike]
