I’ve been dabbling here and there while on vacation. I bought “Drawing on the right side of the brain” by Betty Edwards and have been working through that.
So I figured I would post a bit of my progress… or lack there of, who knows.
Any comments, suggestions and/or things to work on would be greatly appreciated.
sorry for the quality of the pictures… on vacation, don’t have a scanner
Self Portrait.
Portrait of someone from memory.
a few that i’ve done in the last while that were not part of the books exercises.
Just a random skull at a place I stayed.
Cover from a book I read recently… Congo
This picture might look familiar to some. (Cover of issue 95? of 3D World)
Hi!
Your works(escpecially the ogreface and skull) are really showing huge potential. The only thing i could say is that maybe practicing some pure lineart would be good to get a more accurate feel for the shape of things. Also try being bolder in shading, contrast adds character to a picture. I`m noob myself so everything is imho)
Good luck with your studies=)
lol the Gorilla in the mirror… had a good laugh there (and if it’s not meant to be a mirror but a window… argh!)
awesome concept!
you could even extend this concept into a series of “mirror drawings” and draw different funny characters
On the technical side, it looks like you are learning a lot with each drawing.
So keep drawing 
NR43 - Not meant to be a mirror or a window 
Just a border. The rest of the book cover was all black.
Reaveress - Thanks for the comments. I agree, I should work on my lineart & shading… on second thought, I need to work on everything, lol.
In that case your drawing has inspired me to maybe work out this concept myself 
Thanks for that!
Hi Derek, great start to a sketchbook. I like the linework in the portrait of the sitting man. In general it might be a good idea to learn some anatomy. The books of Loomis are very interesting ( there are free pdf-versions available on the internet). Keep going.
