Nice stuff! You have some great, stylized work that is also pretty anatomical and realistic. It's really refreshing. I'd love to see some more finished work from you. Keep posting!

Thank you for the kind words   I will upload some more finished work soon. Im still working on the painting and rendering side of things. I find it hard to finish work and loose motivation. but I will try my hardest to finish things...

Really feeling your stylised approach, your gestures are beautiful. Look forward to seeing more from you.

Studied the female and male torso & hips today.
I need to work on drawing the male torso form memory. some of them are pretty weird looking. [attachment=73089][attachment=73090]

Aaaah, I love your line quality! Really, really nice, the figures look like they've been carved out of the page and it's very appealing. Great for describing masses, too.

I have a question -- you have some figures labeled with "ref" and some aren't, does this mean that you do a few from the ref and then construct your own? That's rad. I should do it.

Hi vlada, thank you im glad you like my work. yes I usually do a few from reference. Then I try and apply what I have learnt from the references. 

I really love your style, man. You've got a great feel for gesture, I think. Build on it and keep reaching !
