some concepts that might fit

#1 Pascal you wascal! where you been!!!

Anyway, a pregnant woman fighting might be a touch too sensitive?? :))

Love yer art as always.

Phil.

#2 Where have i been??? Where have you been all i have seen of you the last few day's is Zoom|zzzz and Zoom|bbiab or something like that...

I actually liked the pregnant one, it shows strength. Or so i like to believe :)

#3 Wow, Dec. Still dressing her up? Now look what you've gone and done, you made her pregnant! Where's that girl of yours, and what does she think of this situation? ;-)

#4 Nice concepts, but is it me or are they just too sexy ;)

I have noticed that you like short legs and well defined behinds ;)

#5 My girl??? Heheheh she keeps telling me how the waists are to slim, she tels me that now healthy woman has a waist like that =O) So i just worked around that =O)

Well Gema i don't actually like short legs but usually i make them or to short or to long i really have to start working on that, though it's usually the feet that are causing the problems. I hate drawing feet... The short legs do make the figures look more solid though. You're right i really, really have to work on that.. Thanx for pointing it out, when working on something i usually get to focused and over see these kinds of problems..

#6 Very nice.
BTW, it reminds me some Fiana from the Confrontation miniature wargame.

#7 Never heard of that Frank, but it could well be. The concept of mixing old with new isn't all that original anymore, though i like it very much..

#8 pascal, have you considered art school? more specifically life drawing? i ask because you have talent, and seem to have a natural knack for shading and characterization.

#9 Hehehe i'm a lost soul man, kinda past the age of going to school... Not that you can ever be past the age to learn, but i have financial responsabilities like a house, a car and some other stuff that require me to work and leaves little time for school. I am how ever in an ongoing process of learning new stuff every day and am trying to practice my skills as much as posible.

Thanx for the compliment though, it's apriciated.

#10 yeah, youre never too old to learn, but responsibilities are what they are. if you want to learn what they teach you in art school insofar as sketching, i can sum it all up in one line: draw what you see.

if you take an hour or two a week and just draw subjects from life, in a pad, you will see a dramatic improvement in your skills. draw loosely at first, even holding the pencil upside down like a brush. after you rough in the basics, go for more detail. if you want to draw people, and cant find a still subject (usual), draw yourself in the mirror (very useful tool). as for the rest of art, its just learning new tools and principles, but you can learn principles from books (light and shade, perspective, design, composition, color theory, etc.) and practice. the tools are harder (oil, acrylic, ink, dyes, etc.).

i went through a year of intense art training, and i swear that other than introducing me to new media, all it really did for me was make me work like hell, which is of course the fastest way to improve your skills.

anyways, keep drawing!

#11 Two Words...Gray's Anatomy...great book. Learn the figure from the skeleton, up. If you know what is happening under the skin, you can create a more proportionate, lifelike figure. The human form is a structure, like a building, it has a frame the everything is built around, and it would not stand without it.
my 2cents

#12 I know my anatomy don't worry. I usually just try to get it to look cool, putting looks and shape over correct anatomy. Some times it turns out good sometimes it don't. these pics have some issues i know, but the overall look is pretty ok (at least i thought so) so i decided to post them any way.

But your right the anatomy isn't correct, thanx for the feedback.
