Parax' Sketchbook

[parax]

Hi,

finally, I opened a sketchbook thread after lurking around for months. I have been drawing seriously for about a year now after a pause of several years, and at the moment it I'm trying to learn Photoshop.

To start off, here are some skull studies (orthos are from reference, the skull in perspective is from a plastic skull) that look completely different on paper:

Leg study from reference:

I'm very thankful for comments and suggestions.

jaroslav: Thanks! :)
katsgod: Thank you, if my scanner didn't include as many of the erased lines it looked a lot better..

ivy'sgrandkid: Thanks!

Some quick figure drawings from photo reference emphasizing the anatomical structure (my lifedrawings are too big to scan :[ ):

This is an image I'm working on in PS, they are some kind of alien hunter monkeys. Still need eyes, bits of primitive clothing and weapons.

I cannot decide on their colors, at first I wanted them to look hidden in a forest and added green, but I think I'm going with browns layered with flesh tones...
