heya! here is another ‘sturm’
nice meet you here:)
cute kangaroo.
–chainging color isn’t difficult in illustrator ( select obj._to change colour and use eyedropper to sampling from what you want to have)
Just quick comment on kanga is _ always think where is keyLight come from… your shadows are bit off
good luck
Hi sturmkim! Nice to meet you too. 
Schneesturm means snowstorm, in German. I have no idea what sturm means in English. And thanks for advice. I think I wolud do whole new version of that kangaroo, but there’s so much other things to do too :hmm: .
-Scneesturm-
Pencils, A3. Took about 4-5hours, I think. Reference picture was photo from a magazine.
I didn’t spend so much time for the face. I have to study face anatomy for bigger size. I’m not very satisfied with the hair and hands. Maybe next time better…
Hi…Jaakko…
I like the face on that last one you posted…
Besides what Rebecca said about doing master copies, along with your life classes, I think you might benifit from the books and teachings of Burne Hogarth a lot at this point in your journy into anatomy. His teachings will give you a much deeper insight into the figure that you are seeing in your life drawing class, which in turn, will allow you to decribe the figure in a much more selfassured manner, because you will be able to figure out what’s going on with the figure at the first glance when you see it, which is the key to great figure drawing…
Just a thought and suggestion that might help you in your study of anatomy…
Really looking forward to seeing your progress, and hope to see more of the work from your life drawing class…
TAKE CARE

Hi Glenn!
I’ve been looking for a good anatomy book. I have already Jenô Barcsays Anatomy for artist. (I’m not sure that book’s name, because my book’s language is Finnish.) There’s so many awesome drawings, but I don’t think it’s best possible for practise. So thanks for advice. I will check it out.
For me anatomy is very interesting. It’s not long time ago when I noticed that. There’s some kind of magic: when you understand anatomy of some part, suddenly you can draw it faster and better. And that everything isn’t done consciously. And it’s true, you need both, life drawing and studies from books, when you want to improve.
Thanks for the kind words and advice. I will post more as soon as I draw something new.

Hi Jaakko :). I really like your charcoal. I can’t really critique much, but it looks great! Just wanted to pop in and say welcome and that I hope to see more from you.
Thank you ha-dou-ken! Nice to know that you are watching 
I haven´t post anything for a while, but now I have something new.
-Jaakko-
Hi Schneesturm, your sketches aren’t bad at all! The skeleton one of the legs is especially nice, although I think maybe the foot bones are too short…could be wrong though.
And the bunny you did in illustrator is really cute. I love the colors and shadows-even though the shadows may not be correct, they still give it a nice look having 2 values there per color.
Thank you anandpg, NR43, Roja and Rebeccak! And Roja, footbones looks short, because drawing is from behind.
There´s more now. I only hope I could soon draw digitally something. But right now I like to train anatomy with pencils.
A4, pencils. That wasn´t easy one. It´s from book; Human Anatomy for Artist, (illustrated by) Szunyoghy. There´s a lot of good anatomic drawings, best that I have seen.
Hi everyone! I´ve been away quite a long time now. I´ve been busy at work, and had hard situations in life. I hope I could send new works soon.
