hey guys i'm 'fresh off the assembly line' new here. the name's ravi and i'm 18 from trinidad in the south caribbean. never taken my sketching very seriously until about 2 months ago. decided to start putting a little more effort into my pieces and also to begin collecting them.
heard this was a pretty cool place to get concrete critiques and advice for, well... art related things so i decided i would join.
here's two of my recent sketches in order of completion.
galen: yeah i see what you're talkin about, the first one does look scratchy. i'll try to clean that up.
godfather: yeah i think i drew her face a bit narrow-ish :S and for sure i knew, even when i was doing it, that i'd rushed the hands.
scosglen: i actually thought she looked asian in the photo i'd done it from so that kinda played itself out though her eyes. just drawing what i felt. and yeah i guess i do draw out (maybe not every single) individual hair strands. but i try to do it with a soft lead so it spreads itself out and fills up the gaps. in the first drawing i only had an HB so it didn't come out as clean as i would've wanted it to.

That mouth is funky, almost like it's two sizes too big for the girl. Also, those fingers are looking flat because the outline shows up too much.

I want to see what you can do with color. That's what I can never really get myself into. Black & White always feels save and easy.
<<< Just a loser I guess :P
I don't suffer from Insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.
