Some stuff I did. Moslty charcoal figures and portraits and some digital paintings. 

Very very sorry for the bad quality of the pictures. I gave up... I don't think I will be able to take better pictures in the near future :(

Some copies from books

haha love those Loomis studies!

[serdar]

Thanks.

Yes, good old Loomis :) His books are kind of like a rite of passage in figure drawing community I guess.

I'll post more hopefully

Great drawings, my friend. I like the style in which you draw. Keep up the same spirit and remember that you always need to improve in art, so just go ahead and believe in your work, because they are beautiful. I'm telling you this as a person who has been painting for about 12 years and immediately sees a talented artist, well, or at least the makings in drawing, and you have them. I have recently become interested in Persian Fine Art because recently I went to a tattoo artist who gave me a tattoo in this style, and now I am a fan of the work of this tattoo artist.

You don't ''need to improve'' you don't even need to believe in yourself you set what you strive for and you follow throught. Phrase like i believe in myself mean nothing.It the action that have the metamorphic capacity to turn statement into more then what to me is just sprinkle and rainbow.

Everyone come with a different approch and goal they might be different as were own so it important to remember were difference and not push people with word such as ''you need to'' that not up to you to determine that.You don't ''need to listen'' to me but i think you should consider your choose of word.

Thank you, nicholascam for praise and encouragement.

And, thank you, darktiste for taking the pressure off. Believe me, I know where you're coming from so well

Your gesture studies are on point, really great linework there. In general you do a great job of simplifying the figure while indicating anatomy. Impressive stuff, keep it up!

[serdar]

Thank you very much cgmythology

Charcoal gesture drawing as usual

Quick sketches with charcoal.

[serdar]

10 to 15 min. charcoal sketches

[serdar]

Doing the same thing but, I believe, improving, even if slightly. That's ok. I'm not in a rush :)

More studies...

Your quick gestures are an exultation! I can only repeat what Damien said: When doing a portrait, try to apply the same technique at start, capturing the essential traits and construction first.
