Hi,
I've decided to start own SB, and I'm looking for helpful advices and constructive critics about my works.

Hmm something about me, my name is Matthew, 18 years old, I'm from Poland [country which I hate as much as I only can, oh ladies and gentlemen this is the worst and sickiest country on this world, remember it's POLAND]. I'm listenning to rock and power metal, and some pieces of MOLOTOV spanish rock/rap band ;).

Ok so here is some of my works for the first post there is not very many but I have a bad connection and uploading is very long...

Welcome to ca. Well you defenately need some shading and anatomy practice. I very liked that picture of hitler's flag :). There is nice shading, but abit rough brushing i think. And why do u hate poland? Oh and check my skechbook if u have time and want. I'd like to hear what u think of it.

Nice start, keep them coming!
Maybe some practice with line weight can help out your pencil work?
Also, good job on your first digital painting! Maybe a little less emphasis on filters (or at least more of a blend of brushwork and filters together to create form) might help make it look a bit less stiff. The clouds for example, could do with a little more shape. Anyway, i like that atmospheric perspective going on. Great job ! :)
Keep it up!

Hehe, Poland really is a crazy country. I especially like the traffic and architecture :D

I suggest buying a scanner and working with pencils or smt else at first. Make sure you read alot on this forum and art books.

1989 ftw

Hi!! Great crits already said, so I'll say very good job with the shading! With the war picture, I don't know how hard the stones should look, but the shading makes them very soft. If they're meant to look that way, then you've done great! If not, maybe for a more menacing appearance next time, try creating "harder" edges on some stones. Still, I think you'll be progressing awesomely with practice, so keep up the great work!

Two drawings which I've made when I was working on our house with my dad, so this is the reason why it is only 2...

First image is a hand of monster from sea his hand has got bubbles with air, and he can breath on the land.
Second is a portrait of Argorian [from Morrowind].

Sorry for bad resolution when I will back to home I will send better scanned images because this in A5 Notebook, so I can scan it.
