Fantastic work Zane, especially the life drawings. Looking forward to future updates of this thread.

[Storyteller]

Absolutely MAGNIFICENT work. The creature design is my personal favorite (I have a soft spot for such fantastic things!), however, there is no denying the masterwork of your other offerings. WELL done!

[CanAur]

Not bad, but i think the second one has some troubles with the hands' length.

[jeremyhopkins]

Yeah I really like your life drawing too! I feel though that maybe you're having some difficulty applying your knowledge from life drawing to your character sketches. The guy draped over the chair is a brilliant pose and it would be cool to see him translated into a character drawing. I have a couple more suggestions but I'm not exactly sure how to explain it.. I'll need to think on it for a little while longer. Overall though its really impressive work!

[zanekohler]

Thanks for the comments and feedback!

Yeah I do have trouble translating them to character drawings. I have had a couple of character design classes and found that to be the case. I would start off with good rough loose sketch for a start and lost something when tying it down.

My favorite is the aging person...I wonder what the story of that guy's life is. He looks very aristocratic.

[JenI]

Nice. I really like the creature design and the environmental study. :) Of course your "man aging" piece is rather fantastic too.

Great stuff!

Thought I would take a stab at coloring my rhino drawing. Have to give thanks to Beavotron for the inspiration from her youtube videos!

I did follow fairly close. However anything that I did differently pretty much would have been the same end results. So worth watching!

Should be fun! Yeah if you follow some tutorials like Beavotron's it goes step by step. And of course this forum can help in any bind.

I'm sorry to clutter up your thread with questions, but can you post a link to Beavotron's tutorial/s please? I haven't been able to find them.
