Hey i like the new ones! especially the third one, its a real cool pose and it looks like you got it down well. The last ones nose however seems to look a bit odd… The hands, oh what a pain they are…

Other than that… i like :slight_smile:

Trying to learn a bit from his books. =)
Soon I will post more …

Hi Gahpe

yuor studies look very clean. Line quality and that certain self confidence comic book contours need to have is already there and are nice to follow, actually.

My main suggestion would be to try something along the lines of gestures. If you search through the general anatomy forum stickies or the tutorial section there should be a wonderful tutorial by Rebeccak about gestures.

Gesture in this case does not only mean the pose of a hand or an expression of one part of the body - it’s more a general pose and a natural flow of weight, balance and energy which forms a strong figurative image.

A good section to practise the loose character of gestures is the sketchathon (in the tutorials and workshop section, IIRC) where you draw from reference photos within 15 mins. That way you don’t have the time to care about details or even categories like “right” or “wrong” - all you try to do is nail the gesture down.

Have fun!

Hi Mu, thanks man !

I know what you mean, I have already taken a look at the 15 min sketchathon thread, It is real good I copy some pictures from there to start doing that too …=)
My main problem is to make the proportion and anatomy right when I am trying to create from imagination.
But I guess I can fix that studying a lot and doing more copies from gesture picutres too…=)
I am taking life drawing classes too once a week. It is helping a lot too, wish I could did more …=/
Thanks for the good tip Mu …=)
I will put an extra effort on that too …

I just finish the base of the skull I will detail it on zb …
Soon I will post my drawing studies of the head … =)

#21

Studies of the head, now let´s detail in zb 3 … and then study of face muscles …
This is been so eye opening … hope to continue the study and see the hole body …=)

#22

Nice to meet another person who just started their sketchbook. It looks like you are well on your way. Keep doing what you’re doing and you will be a pro in no time :slight_smile:

Nice clean model of the skull. Looks like it will make a great base model for zb. Can’t wait to see the end result!

#23

Hi Devised_Poly, thanks !!!
I still need to study a lot … but it is the only way to the good … and it am having lots of fun … doing theses studies … and a I need to do it harder and harder …
Soon I will post more updates of the skull and other studies too …=)

#24

Great lines! However I can see that you have some problems with perspective and balance (symmetry) in some of your drawing. I would advise you to practise drawing basic shapes. Many people underestimate this. It will really help you to see distortions in perspective faster when you do this exercise regularly. And when you’re drawing the figure, observe very carefully how all the shapes fit into or on top of each other. Keep up the great work!

#25

Hi SwendlyB thanks man for the tip … I am trying to work this up … It is difficult to me … but I am studing hard …=)

#26

This week was very hard to study because of work but I did some studies especially of leg and hands …It was the week´s exercise of my drawing class …=)
But I will continue my other studies in parallel too
Soon I will post my zb studies too …

#27

More studies

#28

Really like your clear and flowing line, nice studies! :applause:

Why are you painting with a blue crayon? Is it something special? :shrug:

#29

Yes, these lines are great !

#30

Hi tizianoadmirer, thanks for the compliment =)

Hi BapKe thanks !!!
No, there isn´t any special reason for the blue crayon, I just like it to do rough drawings …=)

#31

Some studies I did with the skull in Zbrush … I detailed a bit … still a lot to do yet …

#32

…tought I could give some constructive critic on the skull…

-the main problem seems to be the eye sockets. They are too flat, especially, in the upper part, where the brows are. These should be buldging out of the main form. Also I think you should get the overall shape first, then head to details like teeth and small bumps…later, you should sculpt each individual tooth (don’t be impatient!) instead of just “drawing” them… In the top view the face part looks too narrow, like the skulls of those monkeys :slight_smile:

hope you don’t mind my critics, I am just pointing out things you should work on! keep it up!:thumbsup:
