hahahaha I like the guy with big ears and glasses :P
reminds me of a friend of mine
with the exception of that he has hair still

I like your kinda drawing, kinda crazed :P
only suggestion is to try using different expressions with the mouth. I used to always draw with the mouth closed for some reason... got out of it and things started coming more to life from the dull kinda seriousness

I will scan some...

These are excellent! nice expressions on the faces, very good shading.
got any more?

palladia mors · Posted: Sun Jan 27, 2002 11:14 am

thanks for the comments

xyster: yeah, you're right about the dull mouth expressions. I will try to vary them more from now on... but the sketches are just the outcome of boring history lessons, so from
that perspective they're understandable

bilbo: thanks! I'll post more during the next week when I get my hands on a scanner.

...more comments more than welcome!

These drawings are great - very good stuff!

The anatomy looks well thought-of too. Is baldness common where you live?

Good stuff

Wow wow wow. These are superb! You have an excellent grasp of anatomy. I don't have anything in the way of a crit. Sorry I can't be of any help.

thanks for the feedback!

nova: yeh, we have this disorder in the finnish genome that makes you lose hair when you get over 40 or something...

no, drawing bald guys is just a habit I guess.
but I draw people with hair every now and then!
bellie: super pen...wish I had one! these are
just class room sketches using normal everyday pencils that you write down your notes etc.
kheemo: yes, everything is from memory and imagination. it would be extremely cool if I had models looking somewhat like these sketches, someone post a link if you know a place with good rez pics...
as for the anatomy issue, there's a zillion flaws in every one of those sketches...

but thanks!
