Etch a sketches
#1
Okay so i'm new here, the name is James or Hornybee or whatever you like really. Im 22 and from the UK somewhere between Liverpool and Manchester.

I started getting serious about my art about a year ago and I feel I need to step it up a notch and I thought that starting a sketchbook was the best way to go about it. Feel free to critique away, It'll be nice having someone other than myself laughing at my work Insane, ecstatic

I'm starting a new job next week as a junior animator so my posts may take a hit at first but I'll do my best to keep things up.

Here is a link to my tumblr that I have been using but from now on Ill switch to this.

Here is some of my work from this morning...

I would have put some life drawings up but someone borrowed my car so I can't get to my figure drawing class tonight, so I guess ill do some online figure drawing and post it later tonight or tomorrow morning :)

Welcome to CD, James!
Good job with the first post. You seem to have a pretty good understanding of depth and know how to manipulate perspective. Your faces look rather geometric and unnatural so I would recommend that you spend a day practicing just them.
Never give up and learn to enjoy frustration. Hope to see more

Spotted an N64!!!
I like how the muscles look on the Barbarian. The pose feels a bit stiff, though. You might want to try and exaggerate it a bit. But maybe that's just me.
Anyway, I also dig the colour studies. Keep the good work!

@txchris haha you spotted correct! I'll try to loosen up my figures, I guess i'll try work on my gesture lines as they usually confuse me a bit

Here is a couple of head studies/colour studies from today
