Showcase because it's just cool, that's all. :}

Shi-Painter is fun, I love them silky-ish wrinKles.

Dave.... LOLOL

He looks like an ancient statue, the kind you'd find on Easter Island but with a body. And it looks like he has two faces, the one we see and one on the right that looks like a profile. And man boobies. :)

good? maybe. but where is zep?

this one looks more simple and pretty.

Thanks! Although that you risk to make something that doesn't "look good", there is also a high risk to learn something new and get inspiration for further work.
In my eyes it's all about skill and making mistakes.
When I paint, then I try do implement some elements that I already mastered (being able to do them intentionally), and as I paint there occur some unintended mistakes. Some of them look interesting and others do not.
So I try to follow those new elements and try to understand what makes them so interesting. And if I don't make mistakes, I force them to happen by drawing intentionally not correct.
It is a lot of fun, but you should not try to many different things at once. Keep it simple and try to put some time into this new thing.

Making too many mistakes at once (well, you/me already do infinite unintended movements at any moment) makes your work seem pretty random.
And this is what I do wrong...I do not develop enough skill in every style.
I do not draw enough to handle them all.


EDIT: Is it just me, or can others also not see most images on 2draw?

I totally agree. I let my imagination and skill collaborate as much as possible, and I'm all about happy mistakes sometimes. I like your system.

And yes, every other day, it seems a good third of the images don't load properly. Might be our browsers though, not sure. oO

Dr.Snoopy: you put in words what I was discovering in an intuitively way.

MrPaul, thanks for pointing that out...I din#t really noticed that before.
Well it was just intended to be very quick anatomy practice mixed with some graphical stuff to make it watchable in this board...but these tips do actually help....so don't stop ^^
And yeah I noticed the big head and hands too...but they do fit very well (original).

This is the issue with using paintings and sculptures as reference, they are never 100% correct. And this is why I hate my anatomy-book ...it's full of lousy handmade drawings(or doodles), and it tell you to draw people in real life. But this is hard, because I'm not going to find a naked person, willing to pose for me a few hours a day, that easily.

I like the way it's kind of in a "poster edge" style and the palette is really pleasing. I don't think everything has to be anatomically correct to be pleasing (actually, a little "morphing" of that in a work like this makes it more interesting sometimes)

Very sexy, yes.

you guys are homo; this is better than the 500 anime shits you see a day, I like it

rocken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like it. The white sketch lines seem more indecisive than simply raw, but overall it's a cool composition.

I like, standing the world in his back.

I really like this picture
It does look look clay!! Thats so cool!!
I've spent a lot of time with this feeling and I think this picture is one of the best representation of it I've seen in a while

I like how the nose merges into the upper lip :D

Cool
