here are some of my drawings from this quarter. as you can see i really need to work on anatomy. i think most of these are between 3 to 6 minutes. the head is like 15. any crits would be appreciated, thanks!

i like your "weird blue ones"! The first image has a great sense of atmosphere and light, i think it works really well. I'm glad that your teacher convinced you to post here.

I agree that your anatomy needs a bit more work, (so does most peoples) but then they are only quick sketches. Just keep up life drawing that will help sort out your anatomy. The terra pic is a great concept, but you have simplified the hands a bit too much, and her left arm looks a bit like a tube, with the wrist looking a bit strange (well in my opinion). It amy be an idea to do a series of studies of hands or parts of the body that you find complicated. I know that helps me.

Keep up the great work

No more lurking for you, just posting!

Good environments! The snow ones are really good. They have a real emotion even though it's just snow and tracks. Lonely. I like how they're constructed from just some brush strokes. Reminds me of Paul Lasaine (LOTR)
