c&c welcome.

Wow! Those are great!
Where they part of some guided exercise, or did you do them for fun?

these where for college, we had to go to the train station and draw people waiting, talking, sleeping and so on.
it was hard, these are no "5 min poses". Sometimes the guy wouldnt move long enough for me to finish the drawing, sometimes he´d move as soon as I had laid the first line. It was a very good excersice to improve speed and precision at lifedrawing. I encourage all of you to do it.

here´s another one

i like it when you go into the figures instead of just going around them, when you just go around them it makes a silo effect that doesn't look too good. when you go into the figure it makes the figures and drawing come alive. line and line weight is great but always think in terms of planes and use the line and line weight to accentuate it. this isn't about style, but just understanding the thing you're drawing. hmm, am i making sense?

Thanks for the crits. I try not to "silohuete"(sp?), but sometimes it just happens. Rather than thinking about definig planes, I try to transfer what i´m seeing taking contrast into acount. Of course there´s usually contrast between planes( light bounces off differently), but not always.
Pretty nice stuff you have on your website. i liked the traditional media art the most.
