Ashley's Sketchbook

[katanimate]

Hey all!

I've decided to start a sketchbook here, figured that I would get more professional and honest feedback.

All feedback is appreciated!

To start out (a lot of animal work, obviously):

I'll try to find some sketches to post sometime.

Hey I really like the lion cub. Reminds me a lot of Simba from Lion King. That's rendered really well. Good stuff :)

It is Simba, I should have mentioned that. Thank you very much for the complement!

[katanimate]

Some sketches and a speed paint : )

Wow! I see the start of something great here!
You could definitely look into toy design..I think your sketches lend themselves well to it!
Please keep posting because I would love to see more!

Wow, such expression and life in your drawings - They're lots of fun to look at!

These were done a while ago, but I figured I'd post them.
Just quick digi painted animals.

Oh my goodness, your artwork is very very amazing. I love the dynamic poses and coloring for the cartoons! very detailed and interesting. Keep doing what you're doing, really no critique haha!

Any sketchbook with cute cats in. is a good sketchbook in my eyes. :)
Work looks good though so far - just think about working on some real faces and anatomy, i know it sounds like cliche but it will help your faces a lot by adding that tiny bit of realism and making sure you're pushing proportions etc in the right way.

Keep it up, looking forward to more.

[Asterisks]

what a fun sketchbook! Love Simba. keep it up!

[Kerion]

Cool renderings on the coloured works, but I like the stylized various portraits at best, effective and neat.

A quick Chiustream submission. About two hours of work.
Theme "Goth Dragon"

Ps. It's been a long time since I've drawn a dragon, not since middle school, I believe. Was an interesting challenge.

[Bergulf]

Very nice. Rendering is very good and polished. Good use of blur to create some depth too. I think its overdone on the cat in post 5 though. Apart from that no real crits from me. I second what PHATandy wrote about practising real anatomy and faces, that never hurts.

omg kitties:heart:

i have to say im in love with your style. especially the kitten with the mitten...socks....sockmittens? XD everything is so lively and you have such a nice grasp on lighting and color. Im definitely keeping an eye on you!

[Nisshoku]

Still lovin it! Now... Pusshhh yourself, darling ;). Try and do something out of the box that you haven't tried before, it'll be hard, but sooo helpful!

[Mitze]

Love the paintings of the kitty cats. Keep them coming

[Hope.of.Memory]

I love all of your cat pictures! Such great shading! Cats are so cute. :D

[katanimate]

Couple new pieces. Playing with character design and sketches.

[_MOTH_]

[katanimate]

A chimera cub character and a leopard character for your enjoyment.
I know, I know! I should do some figure drawings from life.

[Ivan Turcin]

[Eva K]

Nice felines especially. :-) The realistic take on the Lion King is very cool (though I prefer the fur as it is in the other pictures).

[Charles Ratteray]
