Starting a Sketchbook here, welcome to my sketchverse.
Thanks for stopping by and destroy me with constructive critics.
I will post and be around every Sunday.
My main goal here is to gain focus (and skills).

If you want to see my previous stuff just go on my blog or deviantart, but I will be posting everything here too for now on. I encourage you guys to go to my project Astral Horizon, to have a some info about some of the sketches that I will post, I will try explain what each sketch is, the best I can.

Here's what I did last week.



Worked on a little sketch in my sketchbook,I like the hair shape and puffy jacket, but I need to work on the jacket design.

Hoop, Love that guy so much more after the design changes. [font=Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif]So I took that old sketch (far left) and work a little on it. [/font]I changed some proportions, shapes and overall appeal. I am trying to keep the design consistent. [font=Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif]I need to work on the colors.[/font]

[font=Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif][font=Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif]Image for the monthly gnomon workshop contest for September. [/font][/font]The theme was ''the descent'', we had to think about it as a book cover and provide a little synopsis. Here's mine :


A man sold his soul to gain supernatural power. But when he realize he needed that soul to love the girl he loves, he goes to hell to take it back.
