i really like the amount of effort you are putting here mate!
And you are on a good path with this last practices, maybe you started with the pratices from Sickbrush class? i really recommend you to follow that class.

And practice, always practice there is no other way, for you, me and everyone else xD

Keep going!

Nice man keep going! Just something I noticed in the study, try to reduce the distance between her shoulder and her head, "bring it in" the body. Lovely gestures, you getting a lot of the motion

Youre on the right path man. Construction is invaluable where you are, youre getting everything down great just make sure the basic shapes and basic build are correct. I can already see the improvement though so youre really on the right path.

That bug-tracing stuff seems interesting.. for a project or just for the hell of it? :)

Eduardogaray:Thanks mate, i'm really happy with how my gestures are tunring out recently,
except the 2 minute ones, they're a pain in the ass, I keep either rushing them or spending to long on them, can't find the middle ground haha.

Kaffer: Just for the hell of it :), they're an exercise from a ctrl paint vid for drawing around the form of an object and simplifying it into basic shapes although I would like to draw a picture based around bug's if I can think up an interesting enough idea.

Finally managed to draw a hat onto this guy been trying to draw it for two weeks.
Just messing around with the base colours on this right now, figure out what looks best.



LtPliskin over on c.a suggested I start studying hampton, picked his book up recently and so far I think i'm learnign alot from it, I have major problems with drawing poses from imagination and alot of the stuff he talks about in the first chapter(centre of gravity,balancing) seems like it should help alot.



Think i'm gonna redraw this, it came out good but I did'nt really simplify the forms into shapes.

Faces! So many Faces!





W.I.P for something i'm working on.


:D Pretty proud of how this turned out, I heavily referenced the face from my own but even still I think I did a damn good job of it and i've never tried to draw something with this sorta camera angle before either.

It's really great you are doing construction studies, but watch out for those proportions on the face, in a few of your portraits the eyes are way too high, aim for around the middle of the face for the eyes.
Keep up the hard work!
