Sketches for the new concept topic.

Looking at your work I feel like no line is wasted. I need to be like that when I sketch. I am very messy, I could do much better. Your work is very inspiring. Keep it up. ^^*

Thanks, I'd suggest try to loosen up and don't care about lines :D

Did a longer value study. First one is from photo rest in from imaginatilari.

Costume design for the new concept art topic.

Some studies. 4th torso is from a photo.

Value studies, some of these are from imagination

Torso #4 is from a photo.

God people for my story

studs

nice studyies man!! it's realy inspiring to see the amount of studies you are doing. when do we get to see more finished personal work? i think if you put all that studying to good use something realy cool might come out.

Stuff from imagination.

Top left is a photo study, then I tried some thumbnails and took one of the thumbnail ideas further.

Hey man, love your dedication to figures, the gestures in them are super fluid and feel great! I really like how you compose your pages too with the figures mingling together, it's important to make a nice page even just with that sort of stuff (something I don't do so well!). awesome that you're pushing imagination drawing too! Just cause I wanted to say something practical here too - somewhere a page or so back there was something about the backgrounds; if you make your background a slightly cooler grey than your figures they will pop out of it (like if you use a totally neutral grey, making it just a touch blue will pop them out) - not that it needs it so much, they look good already, just wanted to offer something : ) Keep going ^^

oh thank a lot man, i never thought of using a cooler grey before i'll try it today :D
yesterdays page of imaginary sketches

Your figures and anatomy studies are absolutelyinspiring. I love how fluid your lines are, they look almost effortless (but we know that is not true :P). Really close to Michael Hampton's style. There's lots of a difference from the first page to now, mostly in the shading.

How did you learn figure? Any books, besides the art school? Have a great day!

Thanks a lot man, I havent tried hampton but i'll start reading his book sometime. It's great to hear that I made visible improvement on values :D

The way I learned figures was really about doing countless gesture drawings, and taking a lot of time studying anatomy with Steve Huston and Vilppu's videos. My best source was Steve Huston's anything figure related lesson on New Masters. I explained in depth to someone else in this thread, try reading that maybe. It's the ultra-long text.
