You have some serious skill.

Lovely hand by the way.

Thank you very much. ^^

I've practiced hands a lot. and I mean... alot! haha. It's one of the hardest things for me, beyond drawing a face in small scale and feet.

That's good though.
I think I have the same problems, lol. I should probably practice more myself :U

You have real talent here. Such detail and your shading is amazing. I love your tone of shading and how you got the lighting on the side of the faces on the first page. As a fellow artist i am truly impressed. Great work here my friend

Thanks! I spent a lot of time trying to get black and white shading down because most of my work is in pen or pencil. I can't do color for crap though xD.

I know that feeling bro. I'm also too scared to color. I'm such a perfectionist so if i make one out of line color i feel like i ruin the whole thing and need to start all over xD so i just leave it to black and white. These were mostly for school right? if i read correctly. Seems more like a passionate hobby

Ah i see now. How long does it take you to do these. Like an estimate on most of them. The ones you did color looks like you took so much time on which is good. Patience is key when it comes to shading even with color. I want to get a career in this as well but I've been think maybe taking my talent into animation. I've done characters I made up but their harder to do (to me) since i have no idea what i'm drawing yet which is why I'm inspired by yours.

Uhmmmm usually a real good piece is around 5-8 hours of work total, over like 2-3 days. Most of the ones on page 6ish where i dumped a ton were done for my portfolio and got done in that timeframe. Sketches and shit like that usually takes like 2 hours from conception to finish.

You're right, patience is key, and being willing to know when you shouldnt force yourself. I find that my worst pieces are when I just can't draw for shit. Then I take a day or two and breathe, then I can do pretty good stuff. xD

I'm glad you're inspired by mine. I try to just think of a meaning I want to convey, or a thought I wanna express, and draw it out. I spend the most time thinking of what i wanna do, then actually drawing.

Yea that's about right. I hardly finish them in hours because I usually do other stuff during. Thats a pretty interesting concept. I mean thinking about it more than draw it. I can't say I do that much since I draw already made characters. I can do scenery pretty well but other than that and animated characters. Have you ever thought about entering your work in a contest?
