@Tooth - Thanks alot man!


some sargent study

i started my moleskine sketchbook, i shouldnt be so precious about it like it has to be perfect throughout, i can always get another haha. pretty fun

i've been livestreaming recently at http://www.livestream.com/mahons - been good, it's nice having the pressure of an audience, but the lag is kind of annoying

lookin good man

Thanks Brent!

Random concept

Aw man, I love Dr.Diego so badass haha, really solid rendering and awesome design.

Good work on the Dr. Diego

Thanks for the encouragement guys!


got a scanner finally!

finding construction real difficult

self portrait, just in values tho

i am drawing most of the day, just doing work i cant show. hate it

i'd really like some advice about approaching the whole anatomy training thing, just general critiques and advice would be really appreciated, thanks x

Loving Dr Diago and the Traditional sketches man, you nailed the Dr concept !

Thanks man! I appreciate the nice feedback from people


screenshot study, work in progress, love this film

working on faces more, again, finding proportions really difficult

some colour studies, want to make this a daily thing

A few figure studies. Big thanks to Sam Carr for his resource compilation. Check it out here: http://www.samcarr.net/p/learning-resources.html

stuff from imagination. This was really fun, sorry my lines are very messy. also I dont know if I should be doing updates every time I do something new, I'll probably just keep it to a daily dump of what I do from now on.

this how far I wanna take this study, just wanted the face


composition for just an archer guy at the moment, going to work on his general design next. edit: changed some things that bugged me!


uh just a sketch!

Again, any critiques are much welcome

That sketch is killer man ! its interesting how the simple things for people at your level are the goals for people at my level haha. The face study looks crazy nice too ! I can see huge improvement from when i joined the daggers from you man ! keep hustling !

@JerryActric Thanks for the encouragement, it means a lot. I think no matter where you are ability wise there's always bigger goals, just gotta work hard n chase them! keep it up :D



So this is probably my first illustration, still a work in progress, obviously.


a quick study of a tree, for the piece above.

Heres an update on the piece. Dan Warren gave me a paint over and changed a lot of things, and even though I feel like I can take less credit for this, It's a part of the learning experience and the critiques I get teach me loads.

some poses from loomis and imagination. bad

doing a 500 face challenge with PkMike.


so many strokes


Really not feeling great about this, pretty terrible. Just shows what I need to work on most, aka the human form.
some character sketches I might finish



quick study, playing with the smudge tool after watching brad rigneys demo. not sure I like it but it's nice to experiment

trying more illustration stuff, its kind of frustrating but im having fun. i like how this turned out, much better than my last attempt i think. he was originally dopey, and then I changed him to mega sinister, both didn't really work so i went for a middle

dump!

not pleased with how this turned out, just ended up running out of steam i guess!

wayy too derivative of dave, pretty shamefully so. i think i should start looking for more influences
