Di-Dorval's Sketchbook - Di-Dorval - 11-10-2015
Hi!

Also want to add some older paintings I did like three to five months after I started (from older to more recent) (first one is a study!):

I'm not looking on critique on the paintings they are too old heh. But I would definitely enjoy critique and tips on the last two lineart drawings!
For more of my older stuff I mainly post them on my deviant art: http://di-dorval.deviantart.com/gallery/

Hey, welcome!
I'm particularly fond of your creature design, floaty grub and torso maws. I don't normally do much lineart but I often comment on the use of line weight to imply depth. I think you've used it appropriately.
Execution is one thing, content another, I look forward to seeing your recent work =D
RE: Di-Dorval's Sketchbook - -echo- - 11-11-2015
Great progress from that first one, and welcome to the forum! :)

I'm super slow but hopefully that will improve over time and yea torso maw is my current favorite even though I've done it a good while ago. ... Saw your gallery.. your lines are great!

Hey welcome to the forum and great characters!
RE: Di-Dorval's Sketchbook - Di-Dorval - 11-19-2015
Thanks both of you!
Might has well post some of my notes I took while listening to Charles Hu Gnomon stuff. Thoses aren't studies just notes I took while listening so its messy.
Also body proportions stuff from Loomis.
