Hi all,
Thought i would also add my sketchbook. I'm going to just add my recent thingies, and if you want you can see my previous work and my drawings and all that on DeviantArt.

I'll try to update it often but i can't promise to do so because i'm a humongous slacker ;)
Thanks for looking!

Uhm, most sketchbooks here have nudity and none of them have such a tag, definitely not necessary

the 5 and 6 pictures are definitely the best ones. Especially that study.
I would like to see more studies like that one. :D
Also, i agree with MrBeast, that tag isnt really necessary.

Thanks! I actually forgot to post one that is quite similar to the study you like;

Supposed to be Deathwing but messed it up quite a bit;

Sickbrush gave me some awesome tips to improve it!

You are making great progress with that dinosaur :D
(I just noticed that I never comented on your profile ._.)
Love your studies,they are amazing and your first painting of a warrior is stunning.
Keep up with great work :)

nice progress in the dinosaur piece indeed, you should try to add some depth and atmosphere to the picture, and retouching the colors/values to get something more a more vibrant look.
I will keep an eye on this!

I like your line quality in your personal works, though your quick poses are lacking some confidence.
Perhaps some gesture drawing warmups might help?

Your dino rider is looking promising! if you haven't got his books already, James gurney's imaginitive realism has some of the best insights on painting dinosaurs.

Thanks all of you!
@ Eduardo: I'll try my best to do so, could you be more specific about the depth and atmosphere? i'm not sure how to achieve that, more contrast between everything?
@ Lumens: Thanks a lot! I will work on doing some fast gesture drawings and see if that will improve my sketches. Sadly i have only got Gurney's Color and Light book, but i'll look into more of his books, they are brilliant, i can imagine!
I really appreciate the tips guys :)

yes, the values and the depth of field mainly, but also integrating the characters with the environment, to do that you need to create harmony between the character colors and the background.

I know i am like a spambot always saying the same, but if you can get these two books:

-Color and Light, and Imaginative realism both by James Gurney.

Those books will help you greatly.
