xvampire,
Welcome! 
Great to see your Sketchbook here, your reel is fantastic, and I was really impressed with the 3D realization of the 2D concept art in the beginning - and the cave creatures and fish just made me laugh, really impressive stuff, so congrats!
You have some strong 2D work as well here and it will be great to see how you develop it - I’d love to have your participation in our Workshops, which you can be notified about by subscribing here:

With respect to crits, the Goonie drawing is great - the only minor crit I might have is to suggest defining his left forearm a bit more. I’m curious to see you really refine a 2d digital painting from one of your sketches. It would also be nice to know a bit about your background as an artist.
Cheers,

Hi All, thank you!
I respect all the comments here
first, I think that I still need a lot of improvement, thats why Im here, CGtalk sketch book, I ve seen a lot of great sketches , so I wish I could learn from all you guys and girls.
I think my bg is so confusing ^^
I grew up with comics, games, and movies.
I started to read disney comics, then early DC/marvel comic,
after that I read manga/anime which is influence my illustration style a lot.
I almost want to be a comic artist that create story and graphics on my own, but I know thats still not really possible in my country.
at the same time I studied life drawing/photo drawing and fine art painting (non college), which is luckily still help me to achieve the realism/color … sometimes I went to local traditional art gallery.
actually, I also started to love CG, at that time, and played a lot of games … so I tought that I already lost my interest to comics and paintings. and want to be a game/movie artist.
then I learn CG, and make my first CG, I tought that cg doesnt need traditional knowledge anymore as long as its look like in the movie and games, its already good. but I was wrong,
it always turn out like cg-ish lifeless artwork. then I realized that cg and fine-art must be together.
thats why I always keep drawing untill now.
which artist to admire? a lot!
random example : Akira Toriyama(DBZ) ,Herge(TinTin) , Derek Riggs (Illustrator of IronMaiden cover), Yoji Shinkawa (metal gear),
etc etc etc 
Im so sorry I only have few images to post now, I ll get/scan some more if I have a time …

xvampire,
Thanks for your talking about your background - I think you are absolutely right about the fine arts really informing one’s 3D work - anangpg, Thomasphoenix, Intervain, and others are testaments to this.
Below I’ve linked some Sketchbooks that I think you will enjoy checking out - there are so many great Sketchbooks around and I encourage you to check out as many as you can - but since there are so many, here is a good place to start:

I think all of your studies are solid, but I might suggest really working on injecting more boxy structure into some of them. Have you ever seen the books or DVDs of Glenn Vilppu? He’s a renowned figure drawing teacher for animators who really emphasizes structure above all else. I think that he’s definitely worth checking out.

I love the control you have with line. Almost every line seems very deliberate and fully in control. I would push the darker values a bit more in your sketches, but that’s about it.

darker value?
yea I think its a very good Idea,
and also the mid values mostly I am quite lazy to do it
I think its gonna be a good practice
thx

Hi Xvampire, you’ve got a good imagination. i like that stuff. The wolf skeleton looks really good too. You should construct animals more to make them look more natural. Perspective studies are essential to do that. Keep going!
