Knoxie, such great progress you've done. I have a lot to learn from you. That ball of noses is great!

As for feedback I think one thing you could pay more attention to is making longer more consistent strokes/lines. This will improve the quality of your drawings, get your confidence higher and clean up things. Hope that helps

Keep at it and keep the momentum and you'll go far!

Here's a page from imagination that i put out while getting inspiration at a cafe...

wow amazing sketchbook man, rateup you have excellent digital skills! I like your pencils, but I feel the lines are a bit harsh and scratchy, I see it's your style, I think possibly you could use the line-weight more effectively. Have you watch bob kato drawing the face dvd by any chance?

[Philipp Scherer]

oh i love the "landscape"-sketches (hope you know what I mean )

[knoxie]

herrleerzeichenS: i can only assume you mean the lovely female landscapes I've been using for reference lately.

AlexTooth and YuZa: thanks for the comments on my line weight and confidence... seems like you are in agreement it needs work I agree too!!! I promise to practice.

[knoxie]

Black and White from imagination. Been reading "skillfull huntsman" too much lately it seems...

Hey Carl, sweet sb action. It's inspiring to see your progress through the years.

Love the Dalai Lama, that's super funny!

Also ball of noses - what a brilliant idea to think about form. I'm going to use it for me own practice..

Cheers from NZ
