Looking good. Motivation is so much part of the equation. I didn't start taking art very seriously until I was 23. I felt I was too late in doing so. I work as a concept artist for a small game studio now, so anyone can do it.

Rocu: Thanks Rocu and respect! Well, i need to wark harder because i definitely want to try work in game industry someday, i was growing on games, so it is one of my dreams, hell yeah!

Hey!

When I was working towards attaining my goal of a games job I used to listen to this podcast: http://gim.acanaday.com/ . Games Industry Mentor. It has some great topics and it used to inspire me (as well as drop some knowledge on me).

Hope it helps.

Great to see you studying. Keep it coming buddy!

Rocu: Thanks Rocu, i'll check the stuff.
Mashach: Nice to see you again buddy, i wont stop! it feels better and better

Nice progress, keep doing it. Also you have mentioned drawing from mind, to make it happen you must not only draw, but read a lot of books, look around, travel, see as much as you can. You must have strong visual library in your mind to draw awesome stuff from it.

For example you thinking about crazy bunny holding AK47 in his hands and shooting with flowers instead of bullets. You must know how this weapon looks from various angles, you must know how flowers look, what colors are they etc.. Ofcourse you can google all that stuff as reference images, but the more you know, the less time you will need to get that final look.

Organic stuff from mind is hard, boxy stuff ain't so, the bunny will be problem and the AK47 less.

Thanks, update!

Doing lots of sketches can be a good thing, but I need to point out that it can also be a bad thing as well. If you're making poor movements and strokes you're conditioning your brain to make those movements instead of the correct ones.

I see a lot of measurements going on in your sketches, however I don't see what they are measuring. Great example is the very top guy on the right (holding a sword or something), you have an X going through the belly button and some shape to denote the upper torso, however the proportions are all wrong.

My suggestion to you is don't make a bunch of wild strokes in the hopes of magically figuring out how to draw better. You need to slow down and make accurate methodical strokes until you've mastered them. Once you've primed your brain with quality information, then you will be able to sketch quickly like the pros. I strongly recommend you do not skip this step.

I see you're in to figures. This is a great book that will help you get better and learn how the human body works and is proportioned http://www.amazon.com/Figure-Drawing.../dp/0857680986

I wish you the best of luck and I hope this helps you.

Garret_AJ: Thanks garret for you words, working on proportions ,getting slower and reading loomis

[LadyShanta16]

Hello,good stuff you got there. Garret is right, proportions needs work. Some of the skulls and portraits you've done needs work also. In your last sketch on the first page, the pencil lines were so light, I can barely see them. Did you used a lighter pencil? The only pencil I've used is the writing one (HB2). Also, you've been using swirly lines in your drawings. Plus, look for the angles, muscles and curves in the limbs, because some of them looks straight. Good thing you're using Andrew Loomis books. I've had some in pdf.

Wishing you best of luck and keep going!

Man, you're really working hard, great dedication! I think just that drive to keep pushing youself to do better will definitely help you attain that goal of yours no problem.

You mentioned you're not so strong in observational drawing, though I think you're on the right track now, practicing angles, measurement and proportion really helps. Keep doing those and after awhile you'll realise you will rely on them less and less. For myself, what I found is that doing contour drawings also helps a lot in that aspect. Maybe you can try that out.

Just keep practicing and you'll be awesome in no time!

LadyShanta16: Thanks, i use mainly mechanical pencil 0,3mm, lead pencil holder Kooh I Noor and 8B monolith + classic Ball point pens

LongJh: Yeaah, i do them sometimes and they help, Maaaaan there is so many stuff to do.. i would like to have 42hour per day just for drawing, that would be fck awesome!
