I love the style of these, the unfinished style looks great! Would love to do stuff like this when I get some time...

Bretton >thanks man, i like the colours too, thought i wouldn't stray too far away from the flesh tones to keep it all semi neutral looking, i think it needs a bit of black though.

Theo > i'd like to finish them too, maby add some more texture, but for me the most fun part is just the hb pencils.
i get bord adding alot of colours, and mostly jsut shade things in painter with my new wacom, i need more practice.

pickassoreborn > the unfinished style always happens to my work, they all look finished when i scan them, then on the screen i add things here and there then all of a sudden it's like a whole different drawing from when i first started.
in a few days i'm hoping to have stuff in the finally finished section but whenever i post stuff in there people tell me to put it in the sketchy section because of the loose style,

for a while now i have been needing to sit down and figure out what lines and what muscels go on what bones and so on and so fowrth, thisafternoon i had a go at it using 2b and hb, i never really use 2b but i've found it to be rather good, with the softer lead you can ease around the muscels and curve out the lines with a nice smoothness that dosn't seem to happen for me with the hb.
anyways here are some studies i worked through without reference- i wish i could say it was from looking in the mirror, but sadly no, my lats and what not are in ill repute.
i'l post some more once they are done.
