Hey nice stuff you got here. Capture poses and personality pretty well in the drawings. My only critique is your rendering - you're comic-book style outlining abit too much - at least for my tastes anyway. In my opinion. outlining a silhouette before you capture the 3D form severely flattens any images, no matter how accurate the outline is. Secondly, your linework is jagged, not smooth an confident (with the exception of the most recent pic). The environment sketches are looking pretty good, nothing much to crit on there.

the airplane, the textures are looking just a touch flat, and the model itself seems to be out of proportion but that could just be the camera angle. The shark, ACE. I love it, hahaha.

Thanks for sharing your work!

thanks for the tips! I'm going to be doing a lot of drawing this year, so I'll make sure to work on that.

as for the b-52, I did model it over blueprints, but the plane has pretty weird proportions compared to most large jets already.

I started shading the cigarette guy--I'm hoping to eventually start working on a comic with these characters, somewhat in the style of The Abominable Charles Christopher, with monochromatic colored shading over black and white inks

A couple more. I'm trying to get the scanner not to wash out the images so much

oh wow, the level of improvement from your first life drawings to you last ones is incredible! Good job and way to stick with it. I'll have to upload some of mine sometime soon ^_^.

If you're ever looking for resources to brush up on your figure drawing, I'd check out the Andrew Lumis books on fineart.sk

they are amazing
