[constructicon]

wow - I can`t say much...amazing sketchbook devin! thx for sharing.

[smrr]

Yep.

We're all so inspired by your sketchbook, devin.

Such wonderful art... which my jaw can't seem to fathom. It tends to hang by my hands as I attempt to type a reply to your sketchbook...
Sometimes it's just too difficult to even post a comment due to the inconvenient jaw-dropping nature your sketchbook induces.

So um. Apologies if I'm unable to comment in your sketchbook sometimes... BUT IT'S YOUR FAULT LOL

You're just too awesome *gasp*

Thank you again for sharing ~

Looking forward to mores pls.

[devin]

Eduardo, here's some 50% shots of the hands and face. I used mostly the default round with a low flow and a round smudge brush with scattering on:

Incredible job on the study Man! The portraits in recent posts are really awesome as well!

[BenFlores]

soo damn good. i have a feeling youll be one of the greatest :D keep us all inspired man

[OtherMuzz]

Haha i saw that on reddit man. Rad job.

I bet that's a bitter sweet feeling, getting recognition for a study, and not for personal creative work, and having the peanut gallery arguing over whether it's a filter or not.

[ramalooke]

Dat photostudy *.*! amazing job ;) I have no ide how I could miss your sketchbook before. Tons of cool stuff and sweet porgress. Love <3

[devin]

Thank you guys :D

Muzz, you hit the nail on the head haha. I had a few mixed feelings about that, but I figure the positives outweigh the negatives really. It's good to know that my studies are getting better and I think my imagination work will follow suit with time. Those comments were definitely something though! took a bit of endurance to get through reading them haha. I figure it wasn't worth arguing with people about it though, a lot of them seemed to have their mind made up already ;\

^ Just a quick comment -

I tip my hat off to you for keeping your calm while reading those ridiculous comments!
Dear sweetrolls, I literally made an account to spank people for their ignorance. But later deleted (all 10 of) them because, well, what you said: if wasn't worth arguing with them.

I'm certain your personal work will follow suit, it's only a matter of time now!

[Prabu]

Awesome study bro.

[pnate]

You're kicking ass man. Keep up the awesome work! Those same comments about tracing pop up in every single one of those threads so good on you for ignoring the haters :)
