Just a little polishing wouldn't hurt.

Nicely done, I think just some clean-up/defining lines around the important parts of the face would cap it off.

Was finding my images all over google somehow, didn't really feel comfortable, so I deleted my photobucket account, hence the big amount of disappeared images.

I just started working on the auction work for Trish. She got the first sketch

Something else I started working on today, I must say, it went pretty fast ˆˆ
Mayor booby alert.See how long before imageshack removes it x)

Yes I do like breast..

Tommy, you are just getting more and more awesome by the day! It's so amazing to watch your progress ^^

And you should use DA instead of photobuket, and it's time you get a watermark and a sign you put somewhere on the actual drawing so that it won't be too disruptive as a watermark, but still not easily photoshopped away

Agreed. The levels of soft-tone realism are quite impressive.

Tommy I like the brush strokes you use for your drawings they are very fluid. Are these studies done on Painter?

More Bridgeman. A few days more of Bridgeman, then it's Michelangelo's and Leonardo's turn. I'm ultimately after a combination of those three, with a bit of myself of course

And made some changes to my latest nudy, fixed the animeishness of her face (at least I hope so )

Hey man, loved those skin tones. You used any reference? It clearly emanates some sort of vintage feel (:

Trishh, I feel ashamed. I had so little time, due to promotional work I needed to do. Giving that priority since I'm getting paid for it x). But your Ele will see the light of day!

Thanks Morag <3 I still feel like the hair is holding the rest of the work back, think I'm going to change it somewhere in the near future. And hell, a portfolio. Perhaps it's time I started making one

Nice to see your sketches, Toms. The anatomy studies are coming along nicely. Though I might suggest playing around with your mark making on areas that define muscle structure. At the moment, you're currently using a mostly single and continuous mark for all details on the body. Try playing around with the direction in which you make your lines in order to indicate shifts in structure. It'll help give you a better grasp in filling out form and keep the image from being too flat - unless you're going for a more 2D graphic style.

And the female nude is looking really nice - very nice and subtle details. Only thing I have to say about that is her face isn't nearly as finished as the rest of her body. Though it's in the wippie stages, so I'm not sure how far along with it you are. Anyways, the main issue I'm seeing is the structure of her face isn't entirely there.

You get that the front and side of her skull is there on the right side, but not on the left. Looks like it's mostly because there's no shading on the side of her face, which as a result flattens her face and takes away from the shape of the skull's structure. Adding some shading and lighting to the face to properly match the body should fix that right up though - pretty easy fix.

Other than that, keep on keepin' on!
