Hi! :D Nice movement in your sketches! In even the most "sketchiest" of them, I can still tell what the person is doing! That's awesome! The people look very lively!!

Some body proportions are off, such as the legs being too long on some of the people .

But keep it up! It's good stuff! I love the bikini-clad girls! :)

[alesoun]

My first impression was that the legs of the man in the first drawing were puny and under-developed; but, scrolling down, I see that you've fixed that! I like what I see so far.....

[Sealegs]

Yeah I agree with JazzW, your sketches are very nice and loose...very comic-book like.... My only complatint is that your posted images are so large, that even on my fairly big monitor, i cant see the entire drawing without scrolling. If there is a way you could resize these, and make them a bit smaller that would be great!

[Axion]

Nice style, I would love to see more!

[Ashrumm]

you have nice gesture in your work I would advise you to try scanning in a smaller so we can view your work in one pass. Keep it up.

[big_b_utah]

Thank yo ufor all your comments, and I will in the furture resize the images.

Meanwhile here is a few more.

[SEVANS]

Your sketches have a great energy and flow to them. The body language reads very easily... but many of your more finished pieces lack that energy.

Just keep at it and try to be slightly looser in your 'finished' pics. Not as easy as me saying it though.

[big_b_utah]

yeah, that has been a problem for me, but it is getting better. sometimes I want to do to much. lol

[big_b_utah]

This is my new weekend project here is the first sketch, a Orc Rogue

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/big_b_utah/oneeyejack.jpg

[icebergart]

I really like the perspective you chose for this new sketch and the stance of the orc is great. Are you going to refine this one more?

This is the first time I am using a digital wacom Tab to paint, if anyone can give me advise, and some suggestions I am completely open to it, sence I dont know what they hell I am doing :D

But sink or swim I will give it my best, I will update tomorrow.

[matejkovacic]

The 3d effect of the guy with an arrow on his arm is quite amazing.
Maybe his head needs some work. I also like some very good figure
sketches. This link was very helpful to me

http://manfacedgods.com/videoreviews.htm

It shows how to use brushes with less opacity. Maybe it's even better
to set the opacity to pen-pressure sensitivity. The other trick is to sample
color you are using from the mixture of color on the painting.
Good luck!

[big_b_utah]

Thanks for the comment Mate. And also thanks for the links, I am going to watch them right away.

[Evxyza92]

very nice stuff with the photoshop and anatomy seems to be in place man good stuff

making doos headway now, thanks for everyones help and comments, keep them comming.

[big_b_utah]

ok I have been working on my digital painting skills sence this last weekends project went horribly wrong, so here is the WIP

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/big_b_utah/death3.jpg

[Konstruktion]

I liek the highlight on the coat in your last post! Around the head im talking 'bout. Also this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/big_b_utah/cabbagenailgun.jpg) is really sweet!

[Jazz]

Now that's an angle that I need to get!! Very nicely done! :D As for the colouring, say on the skulls, I figured they were skulls after a little while, but they're blended nice and soft as clouds! Perhaps they could be sharpened a little more, as if differentiating one skull from another. But you know, it's good that you have some elements in focus and some not! :D

Oddly enough, the colour in the cloak seems flat, even at the folds. It's good practice you got going there, though! You seem to have the rounder aspects down! :D

[UПiT_22]

[Perfect practice makes perfect] Stop rushing.

[big_b_utah]

Thanks for the imput and here are some of the improvements so far, give me more advise, I need it.

[matejkovacic]

I think the problem about this guy is his face.
It makes him funny instead of realistic and creepy.
The first sketch was a bit better. His eyes are to comic-like.
Right hand and right leg are looking quite good already.
Keep it up!

[Uziel]

Keep your images in a 800x600 frame so everyone can look at them properly.
Your sketches contain to much linework. It's ok to sketch loose but try to keep it simple and nice.
Apart from that everything looks pretty good to me.
Keep going
cheers

[big_b_utah]

I took the suggestion and I updated the face and the weapon what do you think?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/big_b_utah/orc-5.jpg

[RaistlinTheDark]

great stuff man, the ogre great update, but i think it will be better if you make his face look more fierce

[matejkovacic]

Ponytail looks good. Eyes too opened, there for he looks scared and to sincere.
Cheeks to round. Not angry enough. I think there should be more
straight and downward lines on his face. Maybe he could open mouth and show
teeth more. Weapon looks really nice.

[big_b_utah]

I finaly got it!!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/big_b_utah/orc-6.jpg

[matejkovacic]

Awesome! Much much better!

[Jazz]

Ohhhh, cool characters!! Brian the Brain!! YEAH!!

I also like the one with the plumpish towel sword guy. He looks like a pal of mine! XD I have a problem with that tattoo on his shoulder, though. Part of it appears to be going across his armpit and then onto his pec. ...Is that what it's called? I need to study the names, but yeah.

The VERY last one is nice so far! I can't say a thing about the reflections, yet. I'm no good with them. But I'll keep watch of your progress!!

[big_b_utah]

Thanks, it was fun to do, and let my mind go wild.
