Dirk's sketchbook - dirksteele - 07-19-2013
Hey guys, I'm late to the Crimson party after being on a few other art forums for a while, so I have quite a bit of work to put in here. Instead of dumping it all in one post I'll just add my latest bits, then build on that with new work as and when. If you'd like to see any older stuff, my tumblr is probably the best (link in my sig). Here we go...
Sketches from Silver's awesome PoseBook app:

You recent studies look really great! I also like the variety in the styles you used a lot. Keep it up! :)
RE: Dirk's sketchbook - dirksteele - 07-19-2013
Thanks, I will do!

RE: Dirk's sketchbook - dirksteele - 07-24-2013
Just sketched this in Photoshop because I liked the pose. Now to come up with a character for it...

Cool works, the colors, faces and style is amazing.
RE: Dirk's sketchbook - dirksteele - 08-01-2013
Thanks crackedskull! :)
Here's last night's studies, copying anatomy from the ImagineFX 'Anatomy' special. It's really helping and I think I'm gradually beginning to understand the legs and feet, which I think is a renowned problem area. Ron Lemen is great!

RE: Dirk's sketchbook - dirksteele - 08-26-2013
Changed it up a bit and due to my own lack of planning, this took an age. I'm sick of looking at it so I'm moving on! Learned my lesson good...
RE: Dirk's sketchbook - dirksteele - 08-27-2013
Using Jaime Jones' brushes. Bitch.
RE: Dirk's sketchbook - dirksteele - 09-23-2013
Haven't painted for ages. No excuse, I have just been lame. Time to step it the hell up.
