WIP

[knoxie]

Here's the ref I used.

[AlexTooth]

Hey, nice work so far, one thing I'd recommend is a ton of quick 30sec poses - they really help with your character posing and gesture! Digital studies are lookin great

[knoxie]

Hey Alex! Thanks for your visit. Gesturals are always in my traditional sketchbook. Can't seem to get the done the same digitally though... might need a cintique. ha!


value life studies

[knoxie]

another 2 for today.

[Chompo]

Great simple line drawings. Line alone can tell so much D:
Your value studies are realy good, you've got a great eye for stuff.

[SoundPath]

Hey, nice sketchbook! Your paintings are really well done, I especially enjoyed those charactertures. Your figures are definitely improving as well. Looks like you are headed in the right direction man, keep it up.

[knoxie]

Chompo: thanks for your kind words.

SoundPath: hey! thanks for dropping by!

here's a self portrait of me in 150 years.

[knoxie]

anatomy workshop here on CA, and then some eye/nose studies.

[SoundPath]

hey nice update man, I really like these facial studies that you've made. There is a lot of personality & style in all of them. I'd like to see more ink sketches from you, those were quite a joy to look at.

[Chompo]

You'll be soo handsom in 150 years!(:
keep on with this good studies.

[knoxie]

Sound path: which sketches did you like? the ladies? i'm trying to push into values these days... slowy inching forward.

Chompo: Ha thanks man.


here's some male hispanic concepts to practice turning form:

[knoxie]

ladies.. slowly using less and less ref which feels good.

[SoundPath]

Hey, these portraits are cool man. The male group is my favorite, their faces really say a lot about their personalities. My only suggestion is to maybe use more midtone in the female group, but I suppose that's just a matter of preference. Either way, they are looking good. With each post I can see you starting to refine your style. Keep up the studies, they are definitely paying off : )

btw in reference to your question, I liked the nose/ face studies that were done in blue pen. After I saw those, I got inspired to do some of them myself, hehe.

[knoxie]

Soundpath: Thanks man... i totally agree with you on the midtones. I'm crunching my whites... might have to re calibrate my monitors too.

workin those faces still. moved onto the asian persuasion:

[knoxie]

don't really like this style... but whatever gets me closer to imaginative illustration. Value doodles:

[knoxie]

Getting ready for a still live value study tomorrow:

[knoxie]

not too happy with this one... will try again.

[knoxie]

and some old lemons:

[ZhouPeng]

[knoxie]

Happy New Year!

[knoxie]

[RABIDTOOTH]

I was having a pretty shitty day but dedication to your art has livened me up.
