i started my moleskine sketchbook, i shouldnt be so precious about it like it has to be perfect throughout, i can always get another haha. pretty fun

i've been livestreaming recently at http://www.livestream.com/mahons - been good, it's nice having the pressure of an audience, but the lag is kind of annoying

i'd really like some advice about approaching the whole anatomy training thing, just general critiques and advice would be really appreciated, thanks x

stuff from imagination. This was really fun, sorry my lines are very messy. also I dont know if I should be doing updates every time I do something new, I'll probably just keep it to a daily dump of what I do from now on.

composition for just an archer guy at the moment, going to work on his general design next. edit: changed some things that bugged me!

[Image: sketchddd.jpg]
uh just a sketch!

Again, any critiques are much welcome

RE: Thomas' Sketchbook - JerryActric - 07-06-2012

That sketch is killer man ! its interesting how the simple things for people at your level are the goals for people at my level haha. The face study looks crazy nice too ! I can see huge improvement from when i joined the daggers from you man ! keep hustling !

RE: Thomas' Sketchbook - Thomas Mahon - 07-07-2012

@JerryActric Thanks for the encouragement, it means a lot. I think no matter where you are ability wise there's always bigger goals, just gotta work hard n chase them! keep it up :D

So this is probably my first illustration, still a work in progress, obviously.

Heres an update on the piece. Dan Warren gave me a paint over and changed a lot of things, and even though I feel like I can take less credit for this, It's a part of the learning experience and the critiques I get teach me loads.

Really not feeling great about this, pretty terrible. Just shows what I need to work on most, aka the human form.

trying more illustration stuff, its kind of frustrating but im having fun. i like how this turned out, much better than my last attempt i think. he was originally dopey, and then I changed him to mega sinister, both didn't really work so i went for a middle

not pleased with how this turned out, just ended up running out of steam i guess!

wayy too derivative of dave, pretty shamefully so. i think i should start looking for more influences
