Deaf_Matt's first sketchbook (Updated 4/4/07)

[Deaf_Matt]

Well, I don't see the "New Members" board to start my introduction lol :dur:

Anyways, my name is Deaf_Matt (or you can call me Matt if you don't mind). I'm 20 years old and I'm currently a student of Rochester Institute of Technology/National Technical Institute for the Deaf. This is my first time to be an member of this forum and I don't have that much to show you my works because the rest of my works are in somewhere that I can't find lol

So, there is it.

My attempt to understanding the anatomy and it's not that great :\

This is my first time of digital painting with photoshop before I took a look on bumskee's photoshop tutorial.

Any comments to say about it? Hopefully I will find more of my sketchs to post more.

BTW, it seem that I failed to understand the rule about having attachments because I'm really confused about it lol

hi and welcome ! :D

ur anatomy isnt really THAT bad at all .. takes lotsa practice anyways and you got a good start there :)
just keep practicing.. observe real life stuff.. pose on front of a mirror always does the job xD .. trying to keep things 3d is a hard chellenge.. its first thing i saw @ ur anatomy..it partially lacks of 3dimension-ness that also requires some experience.. its quite not that easy to do something u never done before u know :>

besides
here are some links that should be helpfull
