Hi all-

I've heard about this site and decided to check it out, and i'm glad i did, there is so much talent! I have seen many sketchbooks and decided to make one for myself. I hope i can learn from my mistakes and become an artist with as much talent as many of you have already. Thanks and enjoy!

I really like first one on post #4. I would like to see you do another one similar but have asymmetrical balance.

Here's a painting i did last night, ( i do heads last:P, i'm going to do it later btw)

DAnnnnnnggggg...that 1st alchemy post is quite awesome. You should try and detail that out more and make it a mech of death.

[EBrown]

Cool designs Oxy.

Have you tried some life drawing to help you with anatomy?

[Oxy]

Nyx: Thanks Man! Yea i might keep working on it but painting is filling my time up:P

EBrown: Yea, i should focus on anatomy more than i do, thanks for the tip!

[Oxy]

Here's another painting, i tried some different techniques on blending the paints together.

[EBrown]

Nice painterly look to this. Colored in photoshop or traditional?

[Oxy]

thanks. i did this in photoshop btw

[Oxy]

new painting! not done, needs more blending and i need to do the head:P enjoy

[Venom763]

Love the painting of the female torsos. Might want to think about a wider range of life drawings instead of just the torso. Keep it up..:yayca:

[Oxy]

Venom: Thanks, and yes, i'm just having fun painting torsos atm:P

i didnt really finish this one but painted it in so yea :steph:

[Oxy]

another .

the finished painting .

[Nyx702]

Great improvement on the drawing man. I like that you are drawing the entire figure as well. Your faces have taken a giant leap with this one.

Your painting still needs alot of work but...its getting there too! Keep going in this direction...whatever you are doing...keep doing it!

You might want to try and clean up your line work some...its awfully scratchy...if you tighten up your linework some it will help you nail down your forms when painting...its all connected.

[Oxy]

i really tried to focus on the eyes here .

More tomorrow!

[Oxy]

my take on the apple.

[Oxy]

another sketch i did. more to come!

[Oxy]

a fun sketch i did.

[Oxy]

[Oxy]

[Oxy]

the rare purple frog

[Oxy]

work in progress

[Oxy]

sketch. :P

[Oxy]

sketches.

[Oxy]

sorta speedy? WIP

[DigitallyDumbfounded]

I really like your style! A lot. There's something very angular about your forms, but in a good way. I don't really have much to crit. YOur color choices are unusual but apealing. Just work that anatomy and study. :^^:

[Oxy]

new painting, wip of course.

[Oxy]

painter's impasto oils. please crit!

[LisandroG]

Nice colors in your portraits. I would really suggest doing some skull studies, getting a good idea about the bone structure (and also muscle structure) beneath the face can make it a whole lot easier to tackle a portrait.

keep up the good work

[Oxy]

LSeraph Thanks man. I will definitely work on that. You can really see how i need that kind of improvement in my last painting, lol. thanks again.

new painting. (2 hours)

[katinki]

that newest portrait looks like a definite improvement over your earlier ones! the guy has much more structure. i think you could work on your eyes even more - remember they are balls in the skull not almonds on top of the skin. and your skin colour looks great - is that painter or traditionally painted?
keep it up!

[Oxy]

You'd think that they were traditional wouldn't you? Nope. Painter's Impasto oil, i love it. (Artist Oil's>Impasto Oil)

[Oxy]

this one is actually kind of old and i forgot to post it. The skull and lips are off. i was playing with the brush and with signatures.

[Oxy]

pretty much my first actual environment that i spent more than 10 minutes on. Please crit i need alot of practice with these. Thanks, Oxy

[Nyx702]

Nice job man!

Well for the environment there is not very much since of depth. Everything seems to be in the middle of the picture. Try and separate foreground, middle ground and background. Add a crisp element very close to the viewer and then some hazy elements far far away. Blur those mountain ranges some and add some smaller, more fleshed out details such as rocks and shrubs in closer to the camera.

[Oxy]

sketches, studies, etc. you know the drill. more to come! sorry for the horrible quality btw.
