i think you have a good handle on coloring and color theory. I like the nose of the kid of the first post. Nice hatch marks that follow the contour of the body.

Keep posting :)

[That fat kid]

hey sydni, glad you finally posted some of your stuff up here...you have a very loose, expressive style, full of life...and your acrylic paintings are always fun to look at....i don't really like crits so i'll come back after your next update....keep posting!

ParkerD - thanks for the crit and the time. color theory is definelty something i love to get lost in. thanks for stoppin' by!

fat kid - thanks for the time. stay away from the spray butter. it could account for the fattness.


some figures done in india ink - with TWIGS. :bashful:

and these are gone too. damn.

[That fat kid]

hey sydni, very interesting twig drawings....i assume these were twigs from a tree...i like the cross contours and searching lines that develop and show form...the gestural quality is very unique....a lot fo character...the proportions are goofy, but i'll put that down to speed....keep it up!

thanks guys!!! :bow:

[That fat kid]

hey sydni, glad you decided to repost your images....that SP of just the features still bothers me, since the eyes are disproportionately large and too far up the face...seems like all you draw is your nose and mouth, loosen up a bit and draw your whole head, with both eyes! as forthe pic of you and your dad, maybe use a different reference of someone ese and see how the eye would look in a clearer picture? and you're not getting my cast!

The paintings are stunning, love the impasto. Is it oil?
The last one is an interesting style, would ike to see more like it.
Also like the drawing of that fat kid (guy with cast). Is he nice in person? :P
Keep positing!

Good job on the city scene sketch. Keep em comin. :)

[sydni]

another update!!...
tfk-- thanks! i found another reference as far as that photo goes, and it has helped out a lot. p.s. hide the cast, then.
green sock-- thanks a lot!! yeah, it's oil. (my favorite. :teeth: ) and to answer your question about TFK: if i said no, then it makes me mean. if i say yes, then i'm lying. so i'm going to go with no comment. :P
gmags-- thank you!
