Elderscrollers Sketchy Stuff

[Archreux]

Hey, you've come quite a way from those first few pages in your sketchbook. While I was looking through all of it there was a definite growth in your progress up to this point. Also, your sketchbook has really got me wanting to do some pencils, haha. Quite inspiring, I must say.

The studies you'd done of Alex's drawings really payed off in the end, right after that there was a leap in quality within your characters designs and the quality of the pencil lines themselves. If I could offer a bit of critique it would be that in some of your drawings the poses feel somewhat stiff, and forced. You've got a few drawings in here where the poses feel natural. The female at the bottom of your post, #105, and a couple of those cleaned up chars are some good examples.

I find that a lot of this problem stems from the positioning of the feet and legs, so keep an eye on those next time you're doing some characters and I'm sure things will continue to improve from there. I would also continue to study more and more faces. They've improved quite a bit, although some of their proportions, such as the eye placement, tend to be off in a few of them.

I'm a really big fan of this last portrait you'd done, I'm really tempted to go and do something similar now just because of how cool of an idea it is, and the portrait itself turned out well. The cracks were a nice addition on your part.

Loving the progress here, keep it up! :]
