[Discoskull]

Your environs are awesome. They make me want to draw environments. Nothing makes me want to draw environments. Great work.
I especially like the ones with the strange critters in the rain forests.

[liam.c]

man your knocking the doors off shit ! awesome stuff giz supercool !!!!!!

[Dan.v.D.]

if i was your daddy i'd make you stop doing speedy-ish enviroments and paint, draw and render all kinds of real objects. you absolutely got colors and lightning of scenery down but you fail as soon as you're trying to put anything specific in. a good example is sityoffrisinmun :-) i'd give you at least4,5 stars for the background but only 2 for the buildings in front.
sorry for sounding harsh here but IT HATH TO BE SAID
keep it up giz

[enthombed]

hey dude, nice landscapes, i hope learning something from here my friend, thnks for share this sutff.

Cheers

[gizmodus]

spudstudios: thanks!

airage: thank you! You've improved a lot, so keep it up!

bumskee: what??! You tried copying one of my pics? I feel soo honoured, hahahaha. You sketchbook is awesome!

liam.c: thank you so much! Love your stuff too!

Dan.v.D: Hahah, don't be so strict with me... I know I know, I suck at drawing and I should practice it way more often. But there's not much time and the only time I take my pencil out is when I draw some girls and fashion stuff...

enthombed: cheers!

I finally had time for a bit of personal doodling around. Around one hour:

[bumskee]

yeah would be kewl to see some figures and other studies while you are at it. maybe see some tightening on your work too. Having said that, you seem like you know what you are doing so, I am sure we'll all get to see them in near future. Meanwhile, keep kicking ass. and the mood u create in ur enviros are stunning! cheers, Min

[Elnady]

Great enviroments
Really very inspireing
keep it up

[gizmodus]

Thanks a bunch bumskee & Elnady!!!
I tried to take some photos of my sketchbook but either the pics were very dark or the flash reflected too much or it got just unsharp. So, please don't hit me if it doesn't look that pleasing!
I still see many drawing errors in them myself so I don't want to force you to give feedback. But if you have some time of course, I'd appreciate it a lot...

[Aslev]

very nice gizmodus, i really like your enviroments.

in the drawings, what i can see is that the proportions are off, and the faces are a bit skewed(twisted).. i think you could overcome this by trying to construct your drawings more carefully.

looking forward to seeing more!

[Dragonis]

hi Gizmodus! i have always been amazed by your works od DeviantArt... it is awesome you made your sketchbook here... your arts are so amazing... i love them... AND i'm waiting for more

[gizmodus]

notic: Thanks a lot, mate! Yeah, a more careful construction would give better results I think. I have to work on my patience...

Dragonis: Cheers, my friend!

A bit dark

[Bendragon]

Great paintings youve got here. Figures needs a bit more work but your enviroments are very solid. Im not sure about the perspective on that last one. Looks to me the lamps are shrinking really quick on the foreground.
Hehe, nice fashion designs too :p

[Coinpurse]

keep consistency! great sketchbook, seems the both of us have the same problem. The lack to update enough, lol

keep em comin!

[Cold]

Heh, yeah, thanks for the link.

Just noticed a weak point in your perspective drawings of the human anatomy. Few things are off sometimes, but nothing major that would stop you in your tracks. Saying, I do it myself.

To focus more on specific areas: The pencil drawing of the naked lady, both her shoulders are to high and need to have the same slant as the two breasts.

Your pencil sketch of the first big face, where one side is completely in shadow (maybe because you couldnt get the far eye right ) heh, the corner of the forehead is too short, it needs to be pulled out more.

[designboot]

i like the last speed and the way you paint city

[gizmodus]

Bendragon: Thank you! Yeah, the perspective of the lamps looks wrong. The street was supposed to go down but obviously it didn't turn out well.

TheST: Cheers mate!

Cold: Yeah, you pointed out some good points! I think with a better concstruction in the beginning I could prevent a lot of problems. Thank you for the helpful feedback!

designboot: Thanks a lot, man!

The first one was a commission for a rap group. Second one is just for fun.

[gizmodus]

A fashion sketch..

*wants to be a fashion designer*

[purb36]

enviros rock, as expected. your figures are getting better. if i can say just one thing, the neck inserts at the back of the head, and probably goes takes up the middle half of the head. not an exact science, but a general guideline. so like in the 2nd drawing from post 171, the girl should have more on the back of her head, and the rear line of her neck shouldn't go into the bottom of her ear, but more further back. ill draw somethin to show what i mean, cause sometimes i dont explain things well.

where in switzerland are you? hows the weather there? cheers!
