A big thanks to all the people who make this site happen.
Respect to all the amazing artists who post here.
And to everyone working to get better, keep at it, good luck all.
Now, time for me to start my own sketchbook...

[Ntropii]

some quick poses..3 minute ones...

[Ntropii]

some longer 20 minute poses...

[Blonde Bomber]

I love the last pose from yesterday, of the woman squatting like that. Lots of good movement in it, very nicely done for a quick sketch.

I think your apple is nicely rendered towards the bottom, and with the ambiant light of the area around it. It gets a little fuzzy when it gets to the direct lightsource, but regardless, good work.

[Ntropii]

Thanks Bomber, I really enjoy doing short quick sketches. Thus the need for me to spend some time improving my rendering. I'll go back and work those upper highlight areas some more, cheers!

[AustenFM]

excellent stuff, those figure drawing are especially nice, great flow!

I can't wait to see more of your fleshed out work, keep us updated!

[Ntropii]

Thanks Austen, I do hope to keep posting regularly. Study..practice..trying to take my stuff up a notch. I worked on the highlight area of the apple and completed a bronze statue study with painter.

some vehicle work...

[Burdie]

Awesome start! You're three minutes sketches are amazing. there's a lot of movement and feeling to them.

[KarylGilbertson]

Hey man, definitely a strong start, you've got some chops! lets see some more... :)

[Ntropii]

Burdie: thanks, I'm glad you like them! With long poses or rendering, it's so easy for me to tighten up. Short poses are such a great way to break loose!

Ookchk: appreciate that Ookchk! Will try to keep posting. Thanks for stopping by.

Some more studies for now...

[Ntropii]

This pose was a great one to practice a little foreshortening.
My xacti camera was sittin on my desk and I thought, let try Sketchbook pro out on it...

A mage character I have been working on.

[mcunha98]

Nice studies, keep going !

[Ntropii]

more mecha work

[Ntropii]

Some more life drawing....:lifedrawing:

[Randis]

you have very fluent strokes!
I enjoy the mix of classic studies and mecha! very cool

[SymbioticFusion]

Your life drawing pictures are great, really like the mechas too.

[Ntropii]

:lifedrawing: Starting doing longer poses the last couple of years.

[Ntropii]

New tech stuff :android:

[Ghast]

Great start dude, I love your figure drawing. #17 has a lot of great energy to both of them. Keep posting ;)

[seungy]

Couple of the poses in post #20, the 2nd and 3rd one seem to have slightly off proportions. Otherwise you got some nice skills going on here! keep it up!

[Ntropii]

Thanks Ghast and seungy, appreciate the comments! Thanks for pointing out the proportions, cheers!

Here's one a little different style.

[masterpug]

Pretty awesome stuff. I really like the studies and the texture of the work. The only thing I think I could say in the way of feedback is to work on faces a bit more. The bodies you have are extremely realistic and have some really great lines and life to them. The faces that you posted don't seem to have the same amount of life to them (or are missing). Normally that is the first place the viewer is going to look because the eye is always looking for it. Just a thought anyway. Keep the faith!

[Ntropii]

Thanks masterpug! great point about the faces...ya, I have a bit of an aversion to them...but you're of course absolutely right, it's the first thing we look to.

I have a few that I spent longer on and managed to get some facework in, but I will have try try harder, thanks!

:lifedrawing:
Here's a few with a bit of colour too.

[Zephyrion]

I'm in awe of this man. Especially the fluidity of those line.
Only think I want to point out is that you seem kind of afraid to push your values more. Don't be so afraid of going darker.

[Ntropii]

Thanks for the comments cannibalcarnival. I do lose good tone especially when I work in colour, I do need to push it more!

Recent work and rework...

[Tundra]

I thought the painting of that camera (from, like, 2 years ago..) was a photograph.

Your paintings are great, and as others have said the lines for the quick lifedrawing are wonderful. You can call me a fan of those lines. I never thought I'd be a fan of lines, but here we are.

I really like the first piece in your newest post, I think it has more contrast of the two. The design of the second is cool - very "evil dark knight".
