Thank you very very much everyone... i can't believe i'm getting 5 stars

... i still have too many things to learn...

Brendan: thanks alot my friend. I tried adding some but it doesn't shows up enough to be interesting. i'll keep working on that.

Shinryu: thank you !

Liam: hah !

liam in my sb!!! thanks alot for the nice comment

Idiot Apathy: hey !! thanks man =) You're doing some great colors. I think i might join your Peer project V2. I'm just starting with the colors.

So, i kept working a bit with that guy. Might go a bit lighter with the highlights... will add some background also... blank is boring :s

your rendering skills with pencil are amazing. i look forward to seeing how this digital sketch turns out, it aready looks good. anyway, i just wanted to give some support, keep it up.

**DanielC** · November 17th, 2006, 10:00 PM

Thanks artzealot !! i'll check out your stuff asap =)

here are a few sketches.

**Kaoki** · November 18th, 2006, 12:19 AM

diggin the last update, i gotta say i'm surprised you're not letting the pencils of the painting show through more since you've already rendered it so nicely (loved the sketch and gave it a go painting it myself haha

)

**Brendan N** · November 18th, 2006, 02:56 AM

Wow man, stunning stuff dude.
Glad Mr. Apathy got round to fixing the rating haha - these updates are great.
The "hire me" piece is my fave outa this batch,
that guy on the left is freaking me out.
Can't see anything to crit really,
and you seem to be well on your way with that painting.

Can't wait to see more dude, ciao!

**asoir** · November 18th, 2006, 06:19 AM

That last sketch just shows how much you've improved, can't wait for the colours to be finished.

**Lazy** · November 18th, 2006, 04:44 PM

Hey DanielC!
Thanks for your comment in my sketchbook!
I'm gonna try shading bigger on my pencils, will try it out soon.

I like your pencils, very soft and lush, but i would like to see more full bodyshots.
Keep em' coming

**blog** · November 18th, 2006, 05:10 PM

Gorgeous drawings here!

Keep up the great work!

**maknien** · November 18th, 2006, 05:25 PM

Those tattoo designs are really nice! And this http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...1&d=1161897502. WHOAH. I love it.

About the photo referenced drawing that you tossed: I almost went mad with exactly the same kind of errors. I worked a pair-portrait for my friend and his gf. After two "practise" sheets I took a hard and blunt pencil and started slightly put down the main values. Suddenly it all went much easier, and I feel that the light value for beneath the clean crosshatching does quite nice touch.

Keep em coming!

**Sodbrenner** · November 18th, 2006, 06:08 PM

dude, the skelleton completely freaks me out, those pencils are awesome, also in post #65! Please do more stuff like that

**Cup of Joe** · November 19th, 2006, 12:39 AM

Great job on the colors! I definitely suggest dropping by Peer Project 2, it's a fantastic thread. Once you get further along, you might want to go further with warm and cool colors. The second one in your last post is great, specifically the guy on the left. Very simplistic, but say's everything it needs to.
Keep it up man!

**BarretThomson** · November 19th, 2006, 02:06 PM

Great sketchbook. The bust of the half skull face really struck me. I love it! I also like the pencils of the portraits also. keep working with the digital paintings, but try to keep the same mood as your pencil sketches. oh, and post more!

**j a k e** · November 19th, 2006, 02:40 PM

Superplexia!

**AztcFireFlower** · November 22nd, 2006, 01:15 PM

Buenos dias! DanielC
Niiice new sketchbook! I'm still enjoying these pencils and loving your comp designs. Sweet skeleton and skull render. Excellent. Thanks for the kind comments in my SB.

To answer about materials: I use smooth cheapie newsprint and charcoal pencils; pencil of choice is Ritmo_Art Alternatives. Because newsprint is so non-archival, I must learn to handle more textured paper and alter technique a bit.
I first studied under Glen Orbik http://www.orbikart.com/ and Mark Westermoe. Glen was Jeff's teacher at one time, so there is a connected history of style.

**Brendan N** · November 22nd, 2006, 01:30 PM

**Brendan N** · November 23rd, 2006, 04:26 PM

exams are no excuse Daniel. Your drawings come first. End of story.

Great updates man, don't know why you resort to calling your stuff poop.
It makes me feel so much worse about myself.
Solid stuff, I like the fat guy's face, well drawn, distinctive and convincing.
Second piece is supa great, composition seems to be working in your favour.

EDIT - ha right now our post counts are equal. I've caught up, mwuahahahahaa!

Sick shit my friend,
ciao bro!

**Deselect** · November 23rd, 2006, 04:41 PM

Really intriguing work, my friend. I will be keeping an eye on your progress. My only comment would be to make sure your pencils are always sharp, sharp, sharp... Some posts have some rather flat looking lines. Other than that, great stuff.

**Haxxxor** · November 23rd, 2006, 05:01 PM

wow ... looks really good.
i like the portrait of your friend. also the other stuff and espacially that worrior stuff ... reminds me a bit of the deamon in the silent hill movie... did you see it?

greez

**devil-inside** · November 24th, 2006, 11:58 AM

Man, I LOL-ed at Brendan's answer! XD~

But I know what you mean. The sketches are great so far and I loved the colored study that you are doing. I wish you good luck in the exams, so you can draw with worrying about it soon!

**DanielC** · November 24th, 2006, 01:33 PM

Hey guys !!

**Brendan N** · November 24th, 2006, 02:49 PM

Echoing Kicek my friend - Last one's the bomb, props to you mate!
These remind me of cotron's stuff, I really love the free flowing compositions you two have, something to strive for man, seriously.

Tell me if ya want crits, I'll have to get nit picky and dig deep but I have lots of time aha.

EDIT: Agw, some guy dropped you with a one star.....

ciao bro!

**Alexandr Pascenko** · November 25th, 2006, 12:32 PM
