Gill I hope you don't mind me saying that although your sketches are for fun stuff and they do show an upgraded sense of simple volumes, it is time I think to hit the life studies, anatomy, structure, volumes and lights! You might be hindering yourself with all the demihumans.

real humans are overrated! demihumans are where it's at  :P

On that note, i should take that advice as well, and draw more real people.

If you want to take these seriously real people would be great, but if you love whimsy too much, at least start getting into some deeper light and volumes.
If you want to keep these as cute little sketches, do so! and ignore practice.


today's quicky:


thumbnail single point perspective sketch.  in life, it's the size of half my driver's license (about 2.25" x 1.75")

A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

I'm fully aware I should be doing more life studies, but most of the time when I draw on paper nowadays, it's to get away from my surroundings. Effectively, so I can stop thinking about anything besides what I'm doing. Same reason people get high, I presume.
Unfortunately, this doesn't lend itself well to thinking about where I should be directing my energy, like studying the people around me.


Wait. Why am I making excuses to you guys? :huh:
Oh yes naked women are beautiful
But I like shrimps more haha ;)

Since this is a free forum with no ability (or desire) to demand any task from you greater than those which you have set before yourself, I can only assume it's because you already understand the value of working from life (else you would not have felt compelled to comment), which all I would want to make sure of if I could.

I hope you don't feel that we require you to change your methods or make excuses?  Certainly not, especially in the off-topic threads.  We can suggest and hope, but that isn't the sort of thing you need to feel pressured by.
