[Pepitolo]

hello there, I start this thread to have an other good reason to work my drawing skills after work. I hope i'll be able to post regulary.


Here is the first contribution, some sketches done in painter,
for the animals i've corrected them by using some reference.

That monkey is very good! But I think there's something wrong about your hyena. Maybe it's a bit blurry. Keep posting, you have a good talent!

[Pepitolo]

here is a study ofone of the biggest master ( according to me) Sargent that i haven't finish, but it's late and i need to go to sleep.

thks for comment, the hyena is a little bit more in a carton style, it's maybe why it was difficult for me to finished it.

[Pepitolo]

new version of the study, to me the render is to smooth, i need to be more instinctive.

[Pepitolo]

little sketch tonight, as usual comment crits advise , etc are welcome
I have always been frightened by the clown

[Pepitolo]

here 's some of my yesterday night work, crits & comments welcome, as usual.

hope you'll enjoy it.

Nice start on this SB! I love monkeys! You can never go wrong with monkeys in your SB! Now post more!

[dierat]

I love post #4. You have a good sense of variation in your warm and cool values in the vest, great work! Too bad about the hand though; it looks like his arm ends in a stump. Keep updating!

[Pepitolo]

B-man: thanks for comments, I like monkeys too, so let's go for more monkeys

dierat: thanks, if i work again on the post4 i'll try to do something on the foreground hand...you're right, there's a bad lisibility

[Kan Muftić]

Nice sketches, try to make stuff less wobbly and tighten the shapes.
Looking forward to seeing more!

[kevinwueste]

some nice heads and character studies! love the african woman ( ?) painting! Chupacabra has some good feedback to consider! keep up the good work!

[rusko-berger]

Very good pencil & line work.

The two previous comments by my esteemed colleagues are a little bit vague to me: I think that the drawings all function well as exploratory sketches; that's where you get to experiment and be as imperfect as you like, as long as you're figuring out what needs figuring out.

As a "working, but professionally submitted" concept, maybe some quick value editing in Pshop could define the Sept 2nd "tusked creature" a bit in terms of volume and readability. If that were the case.

However, the dogs and your married freinds drawing are as dead-on as I could imagine. Same with the child & tree, and lizard. The others just look like things quickly noted, which is all they're trying to be.

And...I'm crazy about that Hyena!

Thanks!

Nick

[Elophant]
