Not much to say here, had to kill some time before the show started. I think the legs are too small, but I didn't have any references to go off of.

Eh mookz that was a while back, I agree with you completely now and have been studying different areas.
Also Nero please dont be so quick to assume, it really degrades the respect I have for you as a fellow artist.
No I am not evading a ban, when I was perma'd from accumulation of infraction points I took it as an opportunity to take a break (forced one). Instead of instantly creating an account or doing something else stupid, I just waited a while and cooled off. About a month or two later I created this account and asked the mod who made the ban if I could return.
Ok, so the dump of pictures I promised is actually quite small because I still have to dick around with the scanner settings. Half of the scans came out horrible looking, but here are some scans that came out OK, though Im still unhappy with them. If the scanner continues to mess up the values and contrast, I will just have to edit them in photoshop, which will make the images take much longer to post.
The below were sketches during periods of free time at school without any references (a habit I need to break)
And yes the pen was done freehand without any previous sketching.
Hopefully I can figure out the issue, because half of these sketches rely on the subtle value I put in, which the scanner decided to rape.
I personally must say you have improved. Also, the respect you talk about... I didn't even know there was such a thing.
The last one and the third last one stand out to me, but the lion seems like it was rushed compared to the guy. (The head just seems to have a lot of shading but no definition of what is what.)
Edit/ Maybe thats just my view on the work though. Nice to see you have moved from a 2d or screwed up 3d look, to this.![]()
It's hard to draw things you don't see every day when you aren't using references. People, you see every day. Lions, not so much. Unless you work at a zoo, or watch a lot of MGM movies.
Great stuff, though I think the snipers' ghillies could use some textural work, and convey a just a little more form. Not too much obviously, since they're ghillie suits, but they look like blobs right now. Very nice detail on the gun.
Thank you both.
The lion was rushed more then the man, simply because I lost patience and because i didnt plan the sketch right to make the lion pop.
With the ghilies, I attempted to add some definition, but in the end i overdid it and made it look like highly shaded blobs. I decided this previous was better and took an eraser to it, I kind of wish I did it on larger paper as I wouldve been able to get that definition in. It was sketched in a note book the size of my palm ha
