[smrr]

I see tf2 all up in this shi-! (ﾉ´ｰ`)ﾉ
Such awesome

I'm gonna write some stuff here so you have it in here rather than le Skype

So ya, great stuff taking on monkeybread's feesback on thumbs, I can see the improvement there!
My feedback to help improve drawing would be to remember not to just draw the contour of a figure, object, etc. This is where form and structure studies come into play - I've probably said this before (in which case sorry :3) but its super important! Everything in the world is made up of a few popular geometric shapes, sphere, cube, cylinder, cone, you name it - as practise, it helps a lot to warm up, sketching forms like these. As you're doing so, you're gonna want to try and see through the forms. For now, itd be more valuable if you had a couple of models of these objects, then eventually work from your imagination doing the same kind of exercise ~

Then you know, move onto more complex, asymmetrical objects like treadmills and whatnot haha but yeah being able to see through objects... To visualise what an object looks like on its blind side is invaluable :)

Examples of how master artists did this in their anatomy drawings can be found in http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0823014010...ot_redir=1 and http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0823002810..._aw_sims_1
Great books if you can get a hold of em, try to analyse the simple shapes they use to create such complexity in their figures

Hope this helps at least a bit, talk to you after brekky!
