Syrogen and I decided to start a combined sb, in order to keep us improving, give us all the feedback you can, we will greatly appreciate it. I just graduated high school on tues, so now I have plenty of time to draw... Lets see where this sb goes! Shall we?!

To start off im just gonna post some doodles as of late. Not my best stuff but I dont wanna fill it with old drawings, thats what my website will be for.



Btw, these are just studies

[Syrogen]

[Burning Eyes]

here are some skull studies of mine, im gonna start studying like a mad man! This is the summer of improvement!

Digital one is a few weeks old tho, pencil pages from this morning, its 6:01am and I havnt gone to bed yet haha. Will do more skull studies when I wake up, then its on to the body...

[thirdeye]

Nice lady Burning - very sexy

[Chandan]

Great idea guys. Just keep getting inspired by each other and the world around you. Don't have much to crit so far so get cracking!

[Fellah.]

Hi man, great start. Really diggin those digidoodles! Nice to hear you are going to study hard, man! No alot to crit yet (agreeing with Chandan), but cool idea here! Looking forward to more - keep it up!

[Burning Eyes]

Quick sketch of a wolf for tonight, would post more but it was my grad party so I didnt have time to do much, will post more skull studies when i wake up, im gonna be wrappin up the skull tomorrow, and movin on to next part of body.

[Burning Eyes]

Cool idea for a sb man. I'd like to see your process for the girl in the first post if it aint too much trouble. Always looking to learn. Skull looks good so far.

[Mike Frank]

Nice stuff so far guys. Your paints have come along way Burning Eyes! Hot shit!

[Chandan]

Nice tutorial. Good study too...do more! And MORE!

[darkchild]

That b&w girl is cool. Can't wait til you finish it. I photobucket doesn't delete it also. They've been deleting my stuff lately.

[MrBobMarley]

Hey thanks for doing this man , my digital stuff is lagging so I'm just soaking it all in. Your blending method has a nice look too.

Those lines all over, is that so you see distance from, for ex., the jaw to shoulder, shoulder to hip, hip to thigh, nipple to stomach etc etc? I do that but it a much different way. Your approach is new and interesting to me.

[Burning Eyes]

yes they are relative distance lines, i dunno i think it works best for me, i may work on her some more tonight, but ill prolly just end up doing somethin from my head... i havnt in a while... expect update later

[Jackwhat]

Thanks for posting in my sketchbook, it will indeed be nice to keep an eye on this thread!

One thing about that steps image, it bothers me, and by me i mean ME, to use guidelines to that extent, i dont want to rely on things like that. Im not sure if thats good or bad but i feel like that could become a crux (spelling). I want to learn proportion and draw with my eyes what i see.

Maybe thats just me, i dont read or study enough to really know much about technique and shit

Looking forward to the next lotta updates!

[Burning Eyes]

ok so tonight is a night im sticking to my imagination, ive been studyin so its time for me to have fun, here are a few sketches ive done in the past 3 hours, all cept the rendered face were made in ps7 with a brush that i made, my FIRST BRUSH w00t, soo much fun... the brush is actually the bg for the one (2nd) pic.... hope u like...

[Fishspawn]

This stuff is great, keep studying!

[Burning Eyes]

theres 2 more sketches for yas, time for me to go to bed..... enjoy

[thirdeye]

Thanks for the process shots of the lady - it was very interesting to see how you work.

[Burning Eyes]

ok ok thats it 1 more before bed, using oc i did somethin i dont normally do... im liking the effect, hopefully i can be this motivated when i wake up!

[Syrogen]

damn i hate work, i barely have any time to draw

[Burning Eyes]

ok so i decided to wake up, do a sketch, now im going back to sleep haha ....

here another quick sketch..


this stuff is wonderful syro, i think maybe both of us should try something finished? haha keep it up and i will too

[Helzon]

Hey burning eyes and syrogen, great stuff.
But just wondering burning eyes why you pull back right at the last second and leave off finishing the render? It's like building a skyscraper and leaving the windows and trim out.
Would love to see the skull, the woman and the wolf tightened up..but hey that's just my two. Cheers fellas.

[Burning Eyes]

heres a load of sketches from tonight, gonna get back to anatomy soon i promise!

[krakel]

hey good to see some new work from you burn! seein some improvement. i like the contrast pics a lot and the skull- although you have some issues with the lightsource there

syrogen-
good work so far- but you know you gotta give the credit where it is due... in this case that would be tonci zonjic (lungbug) no offense or anything just reminding you

keep up the good work guys

[Burning Eyes]

ok ok ok so i know i keep saying im gonna do something more finished but im REALLY enjoying this no ref sketchinessss... i know i need to get back to anatomy... within the week i promise!

so here are a few more quick sketches - starting to play with color more, not much but a little



Tomorrow when im not tired I will scan a finished SP I did for school, I started using charcoal a bit, maybe I should do something in that soon... yea, maybe...

[Syrogen]
