Hey what up! You've got some great drawing skills, everything seems fairly accurate when it comes to proportion and symmetry ( thinking about the morgan freeman study) If I were you, I would switch up my brushes, and just focus on the default round, using hardness and size to get the job done. Also, pay really close attention to value control, once you feel you are about finished, put the study piece and reference in grayscale and see how close you are. Keep doin' it to it!

Have decided to build a portfolio as a goal for this year so i am
reworking a couple of older pieces to start it off, they are still fairly rough but any comments on the compositions are appreciated.
Included links to the originals!
Waiting for my orange to go mouldy too so i can do another study from it :P
Also working on a fairly large traditional piece on my fine art course, photos coming soon!

Hey hey! Nice sketchbook here. The Morgan Freeman study looks great and liking those original environments. I do have a comment about the first enviro: the arching silhouette things look like they're pretty massive and possibly too thin and weak at the base to support the arcs they are creating.

So yeah! Keep pushing it!

Nice studies! As they have already told you, it shoud help to use more brushes. If you could achieve this, the other brushes will give way better results and boost your quality! :D
Your work is quite painterly and I liked that! keep it up man! :)

thanks malan,
made a start on bloodsports 7, excited about this one although i've never played the game :p
looking to stylize it towards some contemporary traditional painters i love, particularly revolving around colour and brushwork.

hey mindwrack,
good path in here, glad to see a balance between traditional and digital work, it's nice to not let go of the tools and go back to the basics every once in a while. doing lifedrawing is going to help immensely, in my opinion there's nothing that beats it. what you could also do is go through some anatomy books, try out loomis and bring a bit more knowledge to the table when you do life studies.
all in all, good progress and keep it up dagger!

unfortunately i didnt have time to finish this bloodsports because i had too much work the past couple of weeks, but i do plan on finishing at some point, won't be able to submit to the kotaku deadline either because i'm in paris on an art related trip the whole of next week, anyway, here is how far i got, i have a problem with faces in the context of figures at the moment, but will be sure to do more studys;
