Thought I should start a sketch book to get myself practicing more regularly.
Here is a self portrait I did from a mirror and a life drawing piece.

**Delmar** · February 6th, 2007, 10:49 AM

nice rendering style, would like to see some more....

i´m not quite sure, but maybe the second one could use more value difference, especially that area around the arm and chest.....

keep em coming

**Chiko** · February 6th, 2007, 11:33 AM

I agree! I'd love to see some more. the chin seems to be a bit offcentered in the self portrait, but I really love the shading. The life drawing is very good as well.

**Envisor** · February 6th, 2007, 12:04 PM

Welocme to CA ma. Great rendering with colors and pencil. SP is cool, and the life drawing, how long did it take to finish.

**dextermcspice** · February 7th, 2007, 09:39 AM

Thanks guys the portrait was about 2 hours and the life drawing was a 45min pose. Heres some digital stuff.

**dextermcspice** · February 8th, 2007, 08:32 AM

I have been trying to do a few hours a night of photoshop and sculpting, here is something from last night.

**dextermcspice** · February 9th, 2007, 01:39 PM

some of last nights
C&C always welcome

Really liking the traditional pieces here, especially the two in the first post. The highlights on the nude really set it off.

Your digitals are good too, but it kind of seems to me you haven't found your groove yet. If I were you I'd try going over the pics with a thinner pressure controlled diameter brush. With your traditional skills you should be able to give your digital work a nice edge that way.

good work ! keep going dude ! I like the one in the #6 .the rending is cool .

**Zoroko** · February 9th, 2007, 04:40 PM

I really like your stuff so far!! Very nice bold colors!!

I think your figure works are amazing as well! Can't wait to see more~!

**kennygeeze** · February 9th, 2007, 04:45 PM

Really nice life-drawings. You've definitely been able to keep the movement despite it being a sustained pose. So awesome work with that.

Your portrait is really nice to... i like how you don't over-render anything. Great.

**dextermcspice** · February 21st, 2007, 02:50 PM

Thanks guys, here is a hand I did waiting for the bus, and two from life drawing where I started to play around with them in the end making them look robotic.

**dextermcspice** · February 23rd, 2007, 01:16 PM

something from last nights life drawing.

**dextermcspice** · March 22nd, 2007, 01:09 PM

some of my new life drawing, been working on my sculpting a lot as of late.

-Thanks for looking

**lmpnoodle** · March 22nd, 2007, 01:21 PM

nice! The robot bodies on the figures are cool.

**designboot** · March 22nd, 2007, 03:42 PM

a little old fashion but cool

**P.J.Irwin** · March 22nd, 2007, 06:22 PM

great figure studies. it's always good to lay a solid foundation, so the old fashioned thing is going to help you a lot. having said that, lets see your more imaginative work, got any more digital stuff to share? Keep it up.

Hey thanks guys, here is some more digital stuff.

**loveandasandwich** · June 3rd, 2007, 06:16 PM

Your eyes are crooked in the self portrait

But I like the colors you used. Your figure drawings are really nice too. Horray.

Is your icon a sculpture you did? I'd love to see it biggg

**Seaport** · June 7th, 2007, 05:18 AM

Great use of tone in the life drawings and the armoured suit on the cog image is ace

**Renier van der West** · June 7th, 2007, 05:44 AM

Great figure studies! I Live the colours you brought into it, It really works. I especially like the bottom right one in post 14.

**dextermcspice** · June 13th, 2007, 09:41 PM

Thanks everyone, here is some practice doing weapon design.

28chelseasalater- there is a link in my signature to the thread with my sculpting.

**dextermcspice** · June 14th, 2007, 07:53 AM

Been trying out pastels the past few days, there alot of fun.

**dextermcspice** · June 15th, 2007, 06:04 PM

Tried some ink and canvas at life drawing.

**dextermcspice** · June 27th, 2007, 09:37 AM

Here is my first serious attempt at oils, it's 36"-24". This is a poor picture the colors are actually much lighter.

**eskanto** · June 27th, 2007, 10:06 AM

your ink drawing is great. you have a really soft hand when it comes to your life drawings, very sensitive i like it

**dextermcspice** · July 15th, 2007, 10:58 AM

Thanks eskanto. I got a new sketchbook this week.

**Wasker** · July 15th, 2007, 12:50 PM

Nice nature studies. What a relief to see something that doesn't carry a ten ton cannon or is busy tearing humans apart on this forum : )

**Saera** · July 15th, 2007, 12:53 PM

Love this sketchbook! Your traditional works are really nice. The first life drawing piece shows a lot of emotion. Please update more.

**dextermcspice** · October 3rd, 2007, 09:01 AM

Thank you so much, life drawing just started up for this year so I'm happy about that. I have been studying Bridgman here are some from my sketch book.

Thanks for looking
