Finally back again, here are some figure drawing studies along with some other things from imagination, Im pretty sure you can tell which are from imagination. Also did some studies of the arm, the page with the bones was with ref and the other pages was me applying what I learned without it. My wack caravan drawing and some thumbnails for a background .Constructive crits are more than welcome, enjoy.

[Michael Blackbear Uwandi]

Though I know the site is more focused on chaacters ,here I have one finished background along with the thumbnails I did for it , as well as a work n progress.

enjoy, critiques are more than welcome.

[Michael Blackbear Uwandi]

here are some drawings Ive done over the last 2 days. one is a speed sketch roughly 40 min, another one is an interior (work in progress ) of an environment/ circus , and a practice of some techniques Ive learned over the week. no refs used. Critiques are more than welcome

[Michael Blackbear Uwandi]

quick practice

[Michael Blackbear Uwandi]

here is the new one for the day

[Michael Blackbear Uwandi]

so I have a couple torso studies, 2 min each, I had to do a refresher on them because sometimes when you improve, you realize something is wrong with the method you used b4. and I did a ninja design for a friend (just a sketch) to see if he would give me the ok so I can do a more finished design. Also feel free to give me some suggestions on the designs please . then I did a color study using only the hard brush of one of my fav movies of the year , Paranorman. Then I tried to utilize what I learned from the study to approach the adventure time picture. This is only a small portion of the image. there is a lot more to the finished piece, I just have to finish hha
