This last study looks stunning. Colors are so magical and soft, great job. Also, I really like your portrait studies, maybe you should do more expression studies.

Oh man, this recent stuff is looking sweeeeeet. The character designs looks super clean and professional, the sketches up top are awesome. I guess they were for the bloodsports, but either way, I love that one with the character turning round in front of the dragon's wing. Such a nice comp.
Good job man, you've made a ton of progress, keep it coming :)

[darxx]

hey! your studies are incredible!

if you don't mind me asking, how did you learn to do gesture drawings like that?
and do you use any particular books as reference for the planes and anatomy? :o

keep it up :D

[MajaD]

Man, you're killing it with those figure studies :D

I also love post #148, those colors are fantastic. Love the first portrait from the previous page as well (the one you said you did in BnW and added colors later).

Your last pencil portraits from memory are lovely (#144), but have you thought about adding some darker shadows to define face shape more? What I mean is that, for example, the shadow where the hair meets the face is generally darker than shadows you find on the cheeks, or that the shadows that define the insides of the nostrils should be darker than those that you find on the outside of the nostrils.
You did this perfectly in post #82, those Loomis head studies on pg. 5 of your SB. :)

Anyways, your work is awesome nevertheless. Looking forward to seeing more!

Thanks guys!
@Darxx- for the gestures first I just tried on my own then I watched a video from Sycra , and the one from Proko . As for anatomy I study the Andrew Loomis books.
@MajaD Thanks for pointing that out, the Loomis studys I did like a year ago, and if i didn't practice them they just kinda slipped from me, got to keep that in mind the next time i do a study or imagination stuff.
