Sidharth Chaturvedi's Sketchbook

Fire away with the crits! Some stuff here won't necessarily have been drawn yesterday, but I'd still like to hear thoughts on them.

This first one's a pastel drawing from life. Experimentation with warm and cool.

Some older stuff from my sketchbook.

Yet more sketches, most of these from figure reference books.

Loosen up a little, you don't have to use so many lines and stiff shapes in your drawings. Just keep cranking out life drawings, and you'll soon be able to trust yourself. Also, use your entire arm to draw freely, not just your wrist and fingers. When you use your elbow and shoulder, you can get much longer, lighter, and livelier lines. I still use my fingers for details though, that's tough. : /

Some old sketches that I'd forgotten about.

You've got a lot of potential man. Keep going. Keep up with those figure drawings. A strength of yours seems to be chalk and charcoal. Keep doing that. You've got a good grip on value/tone (as displayed by your charcoal drawings).

Really focus on those figure drawings. Check out the Bridgman or Hogarth studies. Those are excellent resources. You definitely need to work on your anatomy studies. Your figure drawings show a lot of potential but there are a bunch that could use some improvement. Check your proportions!!!

Rock on dude and draw hard!!!

Some comic pages in different styles I've been working on for school.

Thanks for the comments so far!
Peetaer - Thanks for the encouragement, and dont worry, I'm still doing the figure drawings, even from books when I cant from life. I'm not sure here the proportions are off, but I'll keep an eye on it.

Some recent drawings in photoshop.

There is some good style in these! Try to clean up some of your sketches and keep drawing!
