scanner did some funky stuff to this.

just messing about here... not too sure about the eye, chances are i'll work on that.

[HanRa]

compare the position of the eye with that of the ear. think it sits too low. normally its on the same level as the upper edge of the ear.

oh, i forgot... welcome!

post some more to let the people here gain a deeper insight of your abilites.

[Mon Chat]

thanks for the help, i revised her face, based on what you said, i also wanted to give her a softer, kinder look.

sorry about the crappy jpeg.

[Mon Chat]

Hi there, welcome to CA, your stuff is actually pretty good, I really like the bird on the two pages. You should post in other people's SBs if you want to get comments though until you get 5 stars... then you'll get a ton of fanboys posting nonstop :)

[DannySketch]

very nice start being shown here man, liking the sketch's done on toned paper keep em coming.

[donalfall]

I'm mostly just posting out of jealousy. That is a brown paper sb, yeah? Can't get those feckin things anywhere over here. If you could PM me a brandname, that would be cool.

Keep up the posting, there's some great stuff here. So you're expecting to do art school in 2008? You working up the portfolio? Give us a look at some stuff. More. :)

[Mon Chat]

[elpez]

[sleep]

[Mon Chat]

no reference, i was so pissed off that day... we drove all the way to norwich, only to discover that the quality of art was aweful, so i drew as a statement against it... but yeah, always loved drawing birds.

[Mon Chat]

this ones for sean. the lazy (hardworking) bugger. http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs26/i/2008/069/7/f/ice_wench_by_dr_yes_no_and_maybe.jpg:oneye:

this ones for sean. the lazy (hardworking) bugger.

boy you did good. im really sorry i didnt keep my part of the deal.....once the art deadline is out of the way we can REALLY get down to business.

nice one by the way- as far as "futuristic woman arctic explorer" goes, i dont think you made the femininity of the character obvious enough. it looks decidely male, androgynous at best. im really digging the execution though- its beautifully done and i love the red fade into the background

[Mon Chat]

more art guys :)

I like your concepts, and i like the bird. I would suggest picking up the anatomy book. Start drawing from life getting a 3d sence of things. Draw from photos and try to knock down proportions while you drawing. Start gaining skills with a pencil. Then transfer what you learn to other medium like painting.

[Mon Chat]

i really should, the only reason theres less pencil work up here is because im too bobe idle to use the scanner, other than that... right away!

[Mon Chat]

cow entry! http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs26/f/2008/110/7/8/DRI_by_dr_yes_no_and_maybe.jpg

Hey, I like your line style alot very adaptable to diffrent kinds of images, one thing I want to say is think about using different tones other than that piercing jet black for text, varying the tone in typography can make a hell of a difference especially with alot of negative white space near the text.

I feel bad about giving crit when I havent uploaded any of my own work :/

[Mon Chat]

crit is goooood :) i can now go back to the work and change it :)

[Mon Chat]

moleskine!
