Thanks Rebecca, I will have another go at the deer image and see what I can do. 
Echinodermata I love you sheep drawing and the skull. Very good shading and I also like the sepia tone.

Spirit Dreamer,
Ah, I really like this one a lot!! I love that the blossoms are the only colorized bits in the picture, and the brushstroke work is really nice! This is what I mean about not using effects ~ I think you get so much more out of just your own line work!!
Cheers,

raptor|3D,
Wow, really nice drawing here! Your drawing looks as though it belongs in a reference book, particularly the upper half. Great stuff ~ thanks for posting, and canāt wait to see the ārealā drawing and not ājust the exerciseā. :eek: 
Cheers!

Thanks a lot rebecca! Looks like I will have to do the second drawing really good. WeĀ“ll see wether the drawing from real fossil will be better because by saying āthis is warm upā I meant that I needed to prepare for drawing trilobite from real by drawing trilobite from book, which is for many people easier - including me. So I did this drawing in order to warm up for drawing from real :)) So, weĀ“ll se. Thank you again for your kind words :))
I have to join Open Figure Drawing Workshop as soon as I will have photo reference printed because I donĀ“t like drawing from monitor.
cheers

Hi
Seems that extinct animals are ok here so here is my scribble
Well my friend Raptor|3D and I agreed that we need more training so we choosed some topic (trilobites obviously) and here it is ā¦ nothing special but anyway
Its just good old Pencil 4B and plastic eraser
This one is drawn on rough paper thats why it has such a texture
time: cca 2hours
This one is drawn on smooth paper
time: 4hours ā¦ yeah I know Iāam quite slow :sad:
Ok thats it

raptor|3D,
No problem! Ok, now I see what you mean by āwarm~upā and that makes a lot more sense! I definitely look forward to you joining the OFDW! Zhuzhu has offered to model for our next session, (not nude, of course :D) and I have asked him to provide us with printable versions, so weāll see. Iām sure yours will be a great contribution!
Slux,
Great to see you back on the boards! These drawings are just sooo beautiful, particularly the last one, the details of which I love. I used to hugely love trilobites (I have a real one thatās fairly large) and these are really great objects to draw fromā¦well, now theyāre objects since theyāre fossilized. But your shading work is amazing, which doesnāt surprise me since you did such a great job with your skull. I think itās awesome that you and friend raptor|3D paired up to do this exercise, itās a great thing to have such a great artist as a friend!
Great work guys! Hope to see more soon! :bounce:
Cheers,

I went for a walk yday, nearby we have a small farm with a few horses and cows. I managed to meet 2 cows, and one horse. One of the cows (the standing one) was a big pain in the a*** :P. It kept moving every three secondsā¦ The other one was just sleeping there and munching on grass. The horse was a very nice one though, good poser. Earned an apple and a pet on the nose from me.
Quick sketches. Couldnt do it for long, it was rather chilly, my hands were freezing in no time Oh and sorry for the bad scan ā¦ it s from my sketch book with a spyral ā¦ so it is casting a bit of a shadowā¦

fooxoo,
Great to see your work here! Your story is really entertaining, thanks for that! Cows, indeed, can be feisty modelsā¦
My favorite here is the more gestural cow to the left in the first sheetā¦perhaps it is gestural because the cow moved a lot?
Thank you for posting ~ hope to see more of your work here!
Cheers,

Hi
As I said before Raptor|3D a me had a deal to draw some trilobites ā¦ actually deal was to draw three trilobites I have already drawn two and here is last one. Its done in Photoshop and it took me a while too finish ā¦ too much detail you canāt really see it in this resolution but there is a lot of small details ā¦ but it was quite good practise ā¦
So here it is ā¦

Holy Paleozoic, Sluxman! This is incredible! :bounce:
Youāve only been drawing for how long, you say? Iām continually amazed at the quality of your workā¦this is just a beautiful piece, and Iām sorry we canāt see the detailā¦perhaps you could provide a small close~up at full resolution? That would be great to see!
I really donāt have anything to crit on thisā¦I think the left end could be cleaned up the tiniest bit, but apart from that, this is just a beautiful portfolio piece, which has a wonderful āgraphiteā feel to it!
Thanks for posting this!
Cheers,

Hi
Iāam glad you like it ā¦
How long have I been drawing? Well I have started seriously with drawing couple of months ago. I have been drawing quite a lot when I was 8-10 years old but you can imagine quality of my images :eek: ā¦ after that I was interested in drawing less and less and I have stoped to draw completely ā¦ especially after I got my first computer I was always quite technical person so I love computers and stuff like that (btw I have finished my secondary school quite recently - branch electrotechnics ā¦ no art here just a bunch of equations and electronic shemes) I didnāt like it much I like to create and electronic isnāt very creative. But I like art too. When I was young (6 years) my mother took me to psychiatric (it was common in my age) and she said that I have talent for art. But I didnāt ever attend any drawing school. When I was choosing my school my parents told me I could attend some drawing school but I didnāt like that idea and I said Iāam not interested in drawing (I was 14 ā¦ too young - btw Iāam 20 now ) what a mistake! ā¦
Well at the end of my school I was thinking whan to do. I thought I could be a programmer ā¦ I enjoy programming but I sucks at math so thats probably not good idea. Then I have discover 3D and it was just perfect ā¦ lot of technical stuff I enjoy and very creative. As I started to work with 3D I have realized that good drawing skills would really help me to get better so I have returned to drawing and here Iāam.
So I have decided that 3D and painting is what I want to do for living. And when I do something I always want to master it as much as I can. So I will do anything that will help me to get better. Its quite easy since learning new things is my hobby and I always analyze everything I do and Iāam also very critical about my stuff so I learn new things quite fast. I have decided that 3D/painting/drawing etc is exactly what I want to do in my life so Iāam going to study it very very very seriously ā¦ I may be just a beginner now but give me time and will get much much better I know it ā¦ I just have to work on it hard ā¦
This anatomy forum is great because Iāam obsessed with anatomy well and with everything that can help me to get better. I didnāt have much time to study anatomy closely yet but Iāam definitely going to do so in near future.
Ohhh I guess I talk to much
here is bigger version of my trilobite 50% original resolution

Slux,
Well, thanks for all that interesting information! I admire your hard work and dedication, and am so happy to have you on the forum! You do incredible work, and I can only imagine what your work will be like in a few years, if you keep up your dedication, about which I have no doubt. Clearly, you are a driven person, and it is an inspiration to see! And, it is great to know that you have found not only a desired vocation but an avocation, or a passion, which unfortunately, so many people lack in life. Itās funny, because so many people will try to discourage a young person from doing art (not a stable career path, etc.) but so many people when they get older have no hobbies, no passions, no joy ~ I find this ironic and sad. I think we are lucky in this age when we have viable artistic career paths (3D, Graphics, Design) whereas even several years ago, this was not as much the case.
At any rate, I am thrilled to see your work, and hope we will be seeing much more from you!
Cheers,
~Rebeccak

Shyam,
These are fantastic! :bounce: I am happy to see these hereā¦I have to admit being partial to the bunny pictures, as they are adorable and are captured beautifully. The bear and wildfowl pictures are also quite nice. I really like the loose, gestural quality to your work, and how you reveal their structure.
Great stuff ~ thanks for posting!
Cheers,
