    The only problem I have is that most of the characters seem to be fighting sleep. Otherwise, good stuff.

    Chop logic: thanks, probably because those two were actually from life.
    NakedZergling: Thanks, I like that one too.
    Beavo: yeah, its one of my favorites
    MKR: Yeah, thats probably due to the large amounts of eyelid in all of them, haha.

    And now for some stuff since then, sorry for the crappy pics of the bigger stuff.

    YES EVEN MORE STUFF!

    Here is a poster design I did this morning for my type and image class. We had to take a letter, and show it with five words starting with the letter, and also have the letter form itself. I obviously got 'K'

    Here are the thumbs I started with, and then the poster I made. Still need to ink the guys, and lay down some flats on them or something.

    I'm a sucker for character/creature thumbnails.

    I don't know why...i just love the energy and the compulsiveness of them.

    These are great...one of my favorite pages in here.

    As far as your figure drawings go...i think you need to do a quick sketch blocking off all the areas of different shade before you start rendering.

    Here's a great tutorial that will help you with that.

    I think the biggest problem with the newest portrait is that the ear is waaaaay too low.

    Just pay attention to where everything is in relation to everything else...if that makes sense.

    I love your ink still lifes and environments.

    Dee Lock: Thank for stopping in. Yeah, character thumbs are a lot of fun, and since I am doing an independent study about them, expect to see a lot more. About the ear, usually I would agree, but the dudes ears are strangely low. And yeah, Im no good at values.

    Here are two vector things for a button maker my friend has that Im going to use the shit out of once I get a few more ideas. And then two little sketchbook pages. I have a butt-ton of figure drawings too. But Im too lazy to scan them (unless you bug me to).

    I said I had a bunch, but i did not say they were any good. The first batch were two minute sketches. Some of them, the model would pose for thirty seconds, and then we would draw the pose from memory.

    For these the crappy ones were 5 mins, the others were ten, I think.

    Here's something I just did. Im trying to use the technique in the skull above, but for more realistic subject matter. I think its worth doing a few more times to try and get it right.

    The outline on the hood is killing it, and I need to knock the eyes back too, I think.

    Two pages of composition studies for a painting I need to start and finish by the fifth.

    And then a drawing from figure drawing class when the model does not show. All you can do is draw people drawing people.

    They way I have the little guys cut off straight is bothering me, but Im not sure how Im going to fix it. Ideas? And obviously, the main character has not been rendered out yet.

    (And I should have a big post in about a week.)

    I'd like to think the lack of comments in your thread mean you're doing something right. The digital piece that got in is awesome. It's got a foggy feel, but is still sharp.

    The silence is broken! Thanks Bombs.

    Here is a project for my sequential class. We had to take little red riding hood and put a twist on it, then illustrate five story beats. I turned it in, but I think its worth putting in some more time to clean up.

    Isn't it funny in most forums it would mean you're doing something wrong but everybody is too polite to say it. Here, a lack of scathing criticism means your work probably isn't too bad.

    There actually on brown paper bags! Heh heh. I got a few looks when I brought them out to draw on! I like the material though.

    Yeah, I could use some hand studies. Its tough to squeeze them in with the limited amount of time each pose is.

    Here is something from my design class. A boring vote poster!

    I honestly can't see anything here I dislike, apart from the fact that your sketches are much better than mine.

    Thanks mustang. Moleskins are pretty nice, but I think I am going to try and find something a bit different. While the pages are thick enough to paint on and stuff, they are so nice, I feel like I am wasting them by just drawing. Which in turn makes me draw a bit less.

    Here is a WIP. Crits??

    I really like the ones you (presumably) did for class assignments, the studies of human figure and life drawing. Ever since taking a life drawing class, my fascination with those kinds of artwork has grown considerably.

    Does the skeleton you drew have scoliosis or am I looking at it wrong?

    Negative on the scoliosis, its just a broken piece of shit.

    As I suspected.

    I'd like to thank you mustang for your consistent feedback. I don't really know why my thread yields so few replies, but all feedback helps, and I get so little it seems.

    Perhaps it's due to a lack of socializing in other threads.

    Rest assured were you to be pompously over-confident in your abilities, the replies would come thick and fast and none to re-assuring either. I'd like to think your lack of replies more lies in your ability to see your own failings in your work and your humbleness in your successes, it kind of leaves us no-where to go.
    So in short, start being more of a jerk ;)
