Dandy Andy's Sketches(some nudity) UPDATED

[SneakersSpeakers]

So I'm a little nervous, this is my first post, and really my first,"HEY YOU THIS IS MY SKETCHBOOK" which I am awfully embarrassed about, but since I'm trying to improve to apply to NSCAD this year, I thought now would be the right time(okay I'm sure I should have done this like two years ago..)

Anyhow, I'm 17 years old, and not really comfortable with studies or gestures or anything like that. Which is something I really need work with, I'm just going to post my next little while to get you guys caught up with what I've been doing, I promise there will be more 'real' artsy stuff after I get it all caught up. I'll try and post every day, two jobs and school can be a bit of a challenge though.

Anyway, I really would love some critique, some of my more refined is much better, but I want to get better at my faster things.

Oh.. also I do some sketchy things digitally, and clean them up a bit but umm.. yeah enough talking. Just trying to get comfortable with all this hababooluh

That's probably the one that has the most work sunk into it, probably about 6 hours off and on in a bus ride home. It's photo reference obviously so I could come back and forth to it. But thank you ; ; You can see I got a bit lazy when I realized I'd have to shade straw weaving..

awesome designs. love that one with the goat (i'm assuming it's a goat) and the giant hands.
great work on the portrait.

Finally doing some more portrait stuff. I tossed a bit of colour on just for fun. Been unproductive lately though, gotta get workin' workin' workin'

[SneakersSpeakers]

Last two for today!

The second one I'd really like maybe some advice on, I have no idea what to do for colour wise and I'm not sure how to finish it.

Just some random bad-jazz along with a quickie portrait of Nelson Mandala that I kinda like

So I've been doodling a bit this morning, and I've become frusterated with this image, I would really like to keep going with this sort of concept but I don't want to refine until I had it in a way that looks nice, I'd like some criticism on this image, please?

[SneakersSpeakers]

Not much lately, just some stuff from in class. Sorry guys.

Blaagh bad portrait and an rpg character.

And unreferenced noses.

Good start on your SB. You have some nice stuff here. Keep posting cause I'd like to see more. The image of the girl in front of the mirror could be really nice once painted and finished.
