some of them are really co0!

keep it up and rock more each day.

[thomasaurus]

Looks like your on the right track, and I like how you use as much paper as you can. Watch your line quality though.

Keep it up!

[Josef K.]

@Dan
Yeah i'll definitly draw every day and try to get better. Even more cuz i got bridgman's life drawing since today and it is awesome!

@Jnorish
hmm i always make very many lines, ur right! But i think the reason is, that im not as sure yet, i think it will improve when i've got a better knowledge of anatomy

@mlessard
thx, i didnt use references for most of theese.

[ericdee]

Wow, this guy is just sixteen years old, I wanna see the drawings you will make with twentysix. Good sketchwork, continue!
Cya, eric

[Josef K.]

A little bit older than me and quite a bit better. What a nice combination. :)

You're studies are great, where'd you learn anatomy? Perhaps you should try out some portraits or hand drawings. They're great fun (and a pain alot of the time). :) Keep at it.

*Makes note to try to get better than Josef*

:P

[chudzta]

Hey kiddo. Im only months in age above you. So cool beans. Im gonna make a concious effort to start posting again. so keep ur eyes peeled. I'll rejuvie up my sbook thread later tonight

Now.. yeah awesome that u have the patience to study that much.. keep it up

One thing is your line quality.. alot of times my sketches resemble yours with the etchiness.. its a habit im breaking and you should take a lil thought and be swift and confident.. im sure u know that. but execute it. it will really make these studies worth studying..

And when u did clean up the linework and pulled together the rendering and shading.. it started to impress more and more. keep working hard. piece - chudds

[Josef K.]

@silvir
i have a book of hogarth here - but i think its not very good, i'm looking forward to the bridgman i bueyd at amazon
hmm portraits - didnt even think of this, but maybe i'll try it later on ^^
ur right with the hand studies - i should really make some - but if it concerns hands im really lazy *g* but have to do this anyway

@chudzta
yeah ur right, ill try to improve my lines in the future, it is really much cooler if the linework is cleaned

Good stuff Josef, I really like your studies on movement and how the body twists and turns, doing those studies will only help your figure invention.

Hogarth is good to study but don't get too caught up in his style, just analyze the information.

Keep going and experimenting till you find your voice in your artwork...that's wat these sketchbooks are for so draw away man!

[Josef K.]

thx :)

in fact theese studies are mostly bridgman studies but i still seem to be influenced by hogarth ur right ^^
i think it will last a bit till i found "the voice" but ill keep practicing
thx for the comment again :D

wow josef! this stuff is great! i've looked through you're whole sketchbook start to finish and it's amazing how much you've improved. keep going. i've just started my own sketchbook so check it out!

[chudzta]

the post before the last i thought u were just gonna do studies of half the subject. then u started full figures. lol. And the most recent concept is rocking. He should get a job as a butcher. be quite efficient. keep rocking - piece - chudds
