that sixth one on the right is really really nice!

you gotta real nice style goin on, I dig it.

**naomiful** · December 21st, 2006

ty zach!

here's something i've been working on the past day or so, i'm having trouble with lighting and the color of the lighting.. no reference so i guess that would make it more difficult. medium is acrylic ink and matte medium layers between on tan rives bfk (my sheik - alter ego of princess zelda)

**naomiful** · December 21st, 2006

here are 2 more attempts at color/value this morning, just kinda quick things - filled in the guitar hero and then a random weird color pic, struggles with lighting :>

**Elnady** · December 21st, 2006

Hey
Really nice sketches,your style looks nice
keep it up

**saa** · December 21st, 2006

hey your hatching looks really nice, you have some really strong pieces!

my favorite is the 5th drawing in your first post, the last digital also looks nice!

one thing: i noticed that you used approximately the same fleshtones on both of your digitals, in the last one it matches well, but in the first one it doesn't go with the pure white of the shirt.

keep going, you are doing very fine!
cheers

**naomiful** · December 21st, 2006

elnady> thanks~!

saa> i see what you mean! i will experiment with better colors next time, ty for the cc!

an hour ^_^;;; ps sp, a bit stylized..

**anubis713** · December 21st, 2006

Great stuff in here!
First off, I really enjoyed the guitar hero piece.
But the one that tipped it off for me was the Shiek piece.
Very well done. The only thing that looks a little odd is her left leg looks a little thin. Is Shiek's hair really that long? Great colors!
Your sp is cute too.
I wouldn't mind seeing some animals!

**Razorb** · December 21st, 2006

very nice

love the zelda pic and the guy sitting down near the top! really nice work.. cant wait to see more

**naomiful** · December 21st, 2006

@___@! this is a pic i'm coloring for a friend, although i dont have THAT much experience coloring in ps, i'm tryin! i was messing with the skin tones so much, that when i was done and smiling, i realized i hadn't touched anything else, booo.. haha, so before i go insane and mess everything up with randomness, gonna leave it alone here and chill, then come back. pleeeeaaaaasseee critique the color! and whatever else needs to be looked at !

**naomiful** · December 21st, 2006

anubis> you know, i was totally thinking about drawing animals last night! lol, so maybe i will venture off and mess with that tonight.

razorb> wow thank you!

--alrighty, um yeah i'm dumping a bunch more random stuff :p

enjoy!

**naomiful** · December 22nd, 2006

Just putting in the progress of my Morrigan coloring!

**Wake101** · December 23rd, 2006

wow, amazing sketchbook already. I really like every single thing in here. my favorite is probably the sheik painting, because its awsome, and because I'm a total zelda nerd.

keep posting, I'll keep watching.

**naomiful** · December 23rd, 2006

Wake> thanks! You know.. I've never actually played a full Zelda game all the way through. I just heard through watching friends play SSBM, etc that the cool ninja dude was actually a chick, and then she was actually princess Zelda. Sweet! lol -_-;

I'll be gone for the holidays this weekend of course, but I bet I'll be back with a looooot of life drawings - !!

**Lee W** · December 24th, 2006

very nice sketchbook

hope to see more stuff soon

**naomiful** · December 25th, 2006

OldNoobie> aw, thanks!

Here are some sketches I've done so far being on my holiday break. Various people doing stuff or playing games, and random stuff/sketches.

Enjoy!

**Lee W** · December 25th, 2006

very nice life sketches

with what looks like pen and ink, no less

**naomiful** · December 29th, 2006

oldnoobie> ty!

sketched cloud yay!

**Wake101** · January 2nd, 2007

wow, your still lifes are awsome. You draw with such confedence in every stroke, and the fact that it is all pens makes it even more amazing. I was just wondering, what kind of pens do you suggest and what sizes do you work with.

I feel I could learn alot from your work, great job.

**conceptzaholic10** · January 2nd, 2007

hey nice stuff here! keep up the good work!

**Tigermilk** · January 2nd, 2007

holy crap, incredible work. Love the lines.
post more!
tiger

**naomiful** · January 3rd, 2007

Wake101> wow, thanks! well, for the life drawings I'm using a Pentel R.S.V.P ballpoint pen "FINE" ... haha, I just pretty much copied that from the pen. It sometimes blots and makes dirty marks on my drawings, which I'm really liking lately.. you can get these at like lil' book stores and walmart I'm sure. The inking is done with a Pentel ColorBrush, black. Lately though, I've been messing around with a waterbrush that I filled with india ink, which makes the marks look a little more transparent and "messy".

conceptzaholic10> Thanks!

Tigermilk> Thank you!~ will do

Here's some more random stuff.. enjoy!

**TangLung** · January 3rd, 2007

You have beautiful still life art work, especially the facial detail.

**Alcian** · January 3rd, 2007

Niiiice sb, impressive studies from life. Want to see more

**galenb** · January 3rd, 2007

Absolutely beautiful. You've got style. Sorry, nothing else to say.

**NicoRaven** · January 4th, 2007

The last update is really good, you contron negative space well and you have an highly unique line and your character are not lacking personality.

**naomiful** · January 4th, 2007

TangLung> Thanks! :]

Alcian> alrighty! ^^

galenb> haha, it's cool, thanks!

NicoRaven> thanks, I always kinda' worry whether or not the characters I draw have personality. I'm gonna' try and work on them more for the future!

A wip of something I'm working on - really sketchy so far ^_^ Enjoy!

**anubis713** · January 4th, 2007

Brilliant!
All the updates are fantastic!
The colored picture you are doing for your friend is amazing!
And the sketched Cloud is great!
This last one is pretty good for still being sketchy!
I really admire your style!
Especially the last girl in thred #11!
Keep them coming!

**Niva.** · January 6th, 2007

Hey Naomi, thanks for the help in my SB. You've got some great work here, I can't really crit anything. The only suggestion I can make is for you to sharpen some of your rendered pieces more into focus and use some textures.

5 stars from me, and thanks for the help once again.

**naomiful** · January 8th, 2007

anubis713> thanks!

n1va> thanks, and I agree ! i'll be working on that.

Here are 2 more random pieces. The first ... *scream* lol, but I'll show it to you all anyways! > O

The second, he's a little flamboyant. I think I might put some colors on him! hehe, enjoy
