mixedmax Sketchbook Stuff

[mixedmax]

He mixedmax, I'm kind of late, but welcome to the forums! Looks like a great start so far, you see to have a very good grasp of color and lighting. Love your textural painting style. The caricatures are also very nice. Are some of the portraits original characters, like the gril with the clenched teeth?

If you are interested in improving your anatomy would definitely suggest trying to paint figures from photographs. Your faces look really good but for example marla's collar bone reads a little off, seems to stick out a bit too abruptly without blending into the rest of the chest smoothly, and also look a bit too uniform thickness (possibly these things are your exaggeration as well). Hope these comments help.

Great working, looking forward to seeing more!

Cheers man, nice to see you here and thanks for the feedback and the comment!
I don't know if I can go so far and say few of them are OC's, as I always had some sort of reference, but tried to do something on my own from imagination after the basic sketch.
Yeah, I'm actually on some full body gesture sketches right now, working on my lack of anatomy skills. I kind of noticed how I'm always using the same framing and not a lot of movement/gesture, that really bothered me.
Thanks for the Marla feedback too, unfortunately all that wasn't exaggeration, she was the first sketch I did on the iPad Pro that I got myself over the holidays, so I actually had a bunch of struggles during the whole process :D

Take care and all my best,

Max
