Hi all!

i have been drawing pretty intensive for a year now, and inproven pretty much..
..been thinking about starting up a scetchbook for awhile, i finally got around to it. Ill try to keep this book updated. Feel free to hit me with some criticism and comments.

These are a couple of weeks old..

That house is from life, the rest of them are from my brain.

Good start to the sketchbook, gets you going I guess. :) It would be good to spend some time getting anatomy though. Bird studies look good, is that a kookubarra? I like the one that goes "Sup?" is there a story behind that one?

cheers,

[look]

Bird sketches look good.
Watch for the skull shape in your profile drawings, some of them appear to be too narrow, and some appear to be a tad wide.
The last one reminds me of jackie chen. :P

the bird ones are great...they are grounded in reality. all quality artists do reference to some degree and you can see how much it pays off...don't cheat yourself, use your time wisely and work from life/real world...you have some talent, it just needs developed by learning to represent the world before you can start constructing your own

thanks for the feedback it means a lot to me.
i agree with you all. actually i bought a sketchbook for the purpose of drawing from life and doing studies, but for some reason i started drawing chicks. thanks for getting me back on track :)

bumskee - yepp, that's a kookuburra. that "sup" pic have no story behind what's so ever.

look - jackie chan, you say? hehe.. it was meant to be a rockdude :)

[Teal]

like the monster on second pice the most but it could be stronger rendered. self p looks good to. half of pics did'nt load so maybe i write something when my connection will back to life.

I like the guy with the goatee the best. You need to work on your linework a little. I don't know how you draw, I'm only looking at your work and trying to figure it out. Sometimes drawing quicker, lighter, and looser will help to build confidence with your linework. Keep it up.

[Main Loop]

nice dish, probably the strongest piece so far.. you have good poservational skills, just inconsistent right now

[kalakal]

matthew - No, i wasent smoking in that sp. i just added that to get a replay.

Teal - Thank's !

SprayNation - Thank's for the tips !

Main Loop - Poservational? are you aiming at my charecterposes?
anyway, like you gouch paintings.
