hi. my name is todd, and i'm 16 years old.

i've been lurking around this forum for a month or so and decided to start my own sketchbook, for better or worse.

i know i'm still a noob at this, so any criticism would be appreciated.

Hey T-M-K! Nice start, I'm liking the last drawing's coloura lot.

Well, you asked for some criticism so here you go a little sugestion more than a critic. On the anatomy studies you should try to get a cleaner line and well, the man is falling to the right. Solving that wellm I would recommend some life studies, they're always a great experince man, keep it up and never get discouraged ;)

[T-M-K]

lolisuck

probably should update a little more frequently, and with more than one shittay piece at a time. oh well, que sera sera.

random environment.

[Peter_K]

Nice painting. I like the textures. But I can't quite tell if it's a road, or a stream, or does it matter? I like it though.

[T-M-K]

thanks peter, it was a road. :)

playing around with brushes in ps.

[aldous_huxley]

ahhhhhhhh

[T-M-K]

some stuff from my sketchbook and a quickie

[Toxdel]

awesome stuff dude, your faces could use a little work around the nose area but other then that its all good. I like your use of texture in a few of those paintings.

[elsewhere]

Hey man, JohanL on NG here! Love all your art man, keep updating fo 'sho
:^^:

[T-M-K]

some stuff from my sketchpad

sorry bout the crappy scanner. :[

[T-M-K]

school's started since my last post...

I'll probably post some acrylics within a few days [unless they suck]

anyway, here's some sketches
as always, crit would be appreciated.

[FightingSeraph]

One thing's for certain, this is a lot better than what most people start uploading on here.

[InFlame]

hey Todd,

cool sketchbook, nice images so far. I really like the brush tryouts! but the pencil sketches are good too. keep it up, good work! :)

cheers,
rebecca

[T-M-K]

FightingSeraph: I'd actually venture to say that quite a few artists start their sketchbooks fantastically. thanks, though

InFlame: thanks, glad you like them, yo. :D

got bored in science class, so I sketched quite a bit.
sorry bout the bad quality scans, as usual.

[T-M-K]

so, I'm thinking that I might try to start updating this thing semi-daily. I doubt I'll be a able to carry through with it, but we'll see how it goes I guess.

some human humans and a not-so-human human:

[Nibras]

Awesome stuff man
Great sketchbook
your ref drawings are sweet they look very accurate
Your anatomy studies are looking good too.
Its not the website that build that artist its the artist that build themselves, everyone can join the wwebsite its only here to record your progress and give you a push and its up to you to take it and make that progress :P
Your pretty great for a 16yo so keep up the good work

Wow, amazing stuff. You make me feel bad about my scribbles.
I hope to see more.
What do you want to do as a career?

[T-M-K]

FearSelf: thanks, glad you like them. Ideally, I'd like to become an illustrator.

project for English class

i'm gay

[T-M-K]

man, school is a pain in my ass.

I wish I had an art class or something similar that could at least allow me to get a little practice in, but no dice.

here's a detail of an acrylic that I'm working on. any tips? I'm new to this.

morrr

[T-M-K]

school has been brutal lately, but now I have a whole week off to practice!

it's not really relevant to this website and it's not really art, but this (http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/rr200/tmkunkler/pu-3.swf) project has stolen my youth from me for a week or so, and I'm whoring it everywhere now that I've got it done. :spam:

today, two speed paintings, both of insect fight quality

[T-M-K]

today's dose of disfigured monsters and unfinished freaks

[seth1]

Sweet work. That big arm dude rocks.

[vanbythevaseline]

Keep it going TMK! You have an incredibly amount of potential from the looks of it. I really like your textures and I loveeee yer sketches.

[jedininjaman]

Sweet (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=467824&stc=1&d=1221789467)
Love your stylized works

[T-M-K]

seth1: Thanks! I actually tend to insert huge disfigured arms and stuff like that because I can never get anything symmetrical. yikes!

vanbythevaseline: thanks man, glad you think so.

jedininjaman: yeah I have trouble with faces, especially noses. ugh. thanks for the comment man, when I see similarly aged artists like you doing so much better than me I get totally pumped to improve :anime:

some stuff from today and yesterday

[Jaytea]

Wow, you have a lot of great work here. The use of value on the ostrich pic is incredible! All the folds of skin are there, and rendered nicely. Great work, man, keep it up!

[T-M-K]

been busy lately :-/

[T-M-K]

reference used

as always, I'm open for suggestions on methods of practicing, ways to improve, etc.

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Hi man! Some real solid stuff here, but there are better ways to learn this stuff. For one I suggest doing some posemaniacs studies, those are pose studies from 3d figures. I would also suggest you study some more colour theory, so you get the whole blending thing down.

Life drawing is also something that you might want to look into, both casual drawing from life, and proper life studies.
