Hey bran man,
thanks for the comment bro. Rebecca ? evrytime i went to her thread I saw those digis. dont know , I look properly.Yeah , Hurri rules wth pens man, hs the dope.
Heres another pen sketch

**Brendan N** · December 3rd, 2006

good lookin sketch bro, put some more work into studying faces and drawing them. this one is feeling too flat, watch the rendering around the mouth and eyes. Getting to really know the planes of th head can help a lot in this regard.

But nice drawing overall, like I said I'm digging what you're starting to do with your linework. It's getting looser everytime, try putting some more variation into it!

ciao!

hey man,
Thanks for the comment and te crit.
Okay so update tiume.
So I have been reading mein kamf < yeah the autobiography of Hitler. Its quite intriguing to look at the world thorugh the eyes of a monster, or maybe a dillusionally ill person.
So I am also thinking of putting some rough drafts of the story in sequential sorta way.

Hi bhanu
nice sb. some interesting stuff in here. to crit some poses seem a little stiff. I am guilty of the same. Also you might want to pay attention how you describe different textures with the mark you make. more!

**bhanu** · December 6th, 2006

Todays update
A friend asked me to do something more cartoony so I started scribbling, I am not te biggest fans of teh cartoony style but som stuff looked beter than the other.

**Coinpurse** · December 9th, 2006

Hey Bhanu, apologies for not showing up sooner. Im digging these pen sketches, mabey try focusing more on strengthening up those lines. Your making improvements which is great man, keep up those studies!

HEy thestjester,
been a long time since we talked eh?
Still good to see you here man. yeah linework needs a bloody lot of work .
Thanks for the encouragement.
Okay so, heres another page of red pen art.

**DanielC** · December 11th, 2006

Noice !!
Keep an eye on the chest's muscles. Especially the abdominals. They're a bit confusing.
Also, the lines look a bit messy from time to time... keep things clear !! =)
Keep pushing bro !

**Orifice** · December 12th, 2006

Sketches comin along nicely mate! Your figures are improvin. I'd like to se more hawt action though, like the howling guy in the penultimate paper. I'd like to see some pencils, shadowing practise. Anywho, lookin good indeed!

**bhanu** · December 14th, 2006

Thanks for teh commetns guys,
Daniel-Great to see here bro. my anatomy work is slcking. have to work mroe.
take care.
Orifice-,.hey man. Pkay so you want some action you will get some action and yes some pencils too.
next update will be one of those.
For today though a painting. tones suck ,it sucks compleetely . but wtf eh?

**j a k e** · December 14th, 2006

Improving a whole bunch Bhanu! The sketches are nice, but try and strengthen the line quality like has been said. With the painting, it's not too bad, but with the face try and use the same method as you do with the body rather than just dark outlining. So it all flows

Keep it up man, great progress.

**stine** · December 15th, 2006

hey bhanu, thanks for stopping by in my sb - really like the water colors, it's such a tough medium... i second jake on the outline, but really enjoy your choice of colors. great second book over all, take care!

Keep pushing bro !

Thanks for visiting my SB. Like your work here. I'd like to see how you progress with your line work. I would suggest to, now and then, discipline a bit and use long sweeps to get the long gesture of the torso to the leg, etc. Try it and see what happens when you resist the multiple strokes for one sweep. I know that as you search for the right form you can use many lines in your search. Imagine the shape you want B4 you draw it. Cleaner lines are also more efficient and read easier. One way is to do a trace over your original and find the lines that describe the gesture best and sweep them out on the tracing.
I've done thousands of copies of quick sketches, from some super advanced students and picked up their thinking on just this aspect. This was a important part of my training. Just a suggestion, your work is always getting better and better.
Keep up the great studies.

**Sepulverture** · December 18th, 2006

Hey, Bhanu. The pieces that are are taking time on and rendering out (like your life drawing stuff) is looking really good. Keep at 'er.

**harikumar** · December 18th, 2006

hey u have some good stuff here man....but poses are a little stiff....cool work keep it up

**Brendan N** · December 18th, 2006

Hey bro

Daniel and Aztec have said it - don't get too messy with the lines. Every line should have a purpose!

But the updates are really good, I'm digging the lot. Keep these up and keep focus, always think about what you are doing!

ciao bro!

**DanielC** · December 22nd, 2006

Hey nunu !
cool updates.
But don't forget THE PLANES !!!
If you really put attention to them you're characters and enviros will really pop out.
Keep working, and the watercolours experiments are interesting =)

**JERI** · December 22nd, 2006

I get the feeling that you may find it useful to challenge yourself to increase the orderliness of your details by a notch when you do your sketches. I maybe wrong of course, whatever is comfortable for ya.

**Brendan N** · December 23rd, 2006

Yo bhanu!

Sorry for not dropping by earlier man, you're making good progress with the water colours - I can see you are gaining more confidence.
But I think you are still trying to be too illustrate-ish with it.
Go have a look at Solon's thread over at SoFA, look how he creates form with his water colours. Try using them like that to get the most out of them I think. I think when you are able to do this effectively, you will be better equipped to do more detailed rendering in water colour as you are now!

ciao man, keep well!

**liam.c** · December 26th, 2006

lota impovement quickly ! exelent man ! i see you doing people lay outs .. thumbs studies perspective .. and panel work ... u know what your looking for enjoy your self geting there ! keep up the good work mate!

**spudstudios** · December 28th, 2006

great stuff. Nice studies.I prefer your looser stuff. The blobby Pen work looks great. I don't think I'll sketch with much else myself these days.

**bhanu** · December 31st, 2006

heyya people, The new years round the corner,
Yay, I know not much is going to change tomorrw but I like celebrating. Okay I ahvent been able to update. but atleast I did tak out time to do some sketching. I was thinking od doing couple of new year paintings but Shit got delayed. I will try doing them tomorrow and posting them.

Have a fucking happy new year.

**bhanu** · January 2nd, 2007

HEy guys, been a long time I posted here.
Really not in a good mood today. SO heres the fucking art .

**Brendan N** · January 2nd, 2007

Hey bhanu

cracking updates my man. My biggest crit is look at how the head attaches to the torso - the women's neck isn't looking convincing enough, and the dude is looking a bit flat. watch your proportions bro, but overall I love the texture you've created - really awesome, please continue using it. Really nice stuff, you're making solid progress

cheers man and HAPPY FUCKING NEW YEAR!

- d.

**DanielC** · January 2nd, 2007

hehe someone's happy to be in 2007...
There isn't enough different values, things tend to be a bit confusing.....
but oh well, you're not in the mood anyway =)
Bonne année !

**Tigermilk** · January 2nd, 2007

hahaha, that year-killing-pic is awesome.

i think you should listen to Daniel, you tend to get stuck on basicly one tone. I too have got this problem, getting stuck in midtones. Don't be shy - get some black in there!

by the by, I like the red pen sketches, very nice.
happy new year!
