G modelling Rick Owens' diffusion line there.

And it's nice work to boot.

No, just keep an eye on them.  Maybe they'll surprise you.

Man I'm a badass

Gonna dig my sketchbook out on Saturday and have a peek.
Might use a pdf app for my iPad and scan some of the pics in.

I should've scanned them in but to be honest I don't miss it all and have not felt the urge to draw for 13 years or so.

That must be a weird feeling. If I have a pen and a peice of paper I am compelled to draw. The reason I posted stuff here is for critique and tips, because my level of sketching frustrates me. I'll hit a peak i'm happy with and that'll be me I guess.

Oh and DS robot is badass, obviously.

I guess I never had the urge because I went straight into graphic design after leaving Uni where I had to be sort of creative every day.
I think that tempered my urge to draw. I really couldn't face coming home and doing stuff after 9 hours of deadlines etc...

The secret is not to give a shit.
Out of the stuff you have posted the one I liked the most was the loosest (the last one). The others look like you are really trying.
I am absolutely terrible at drawing cartoony style faces/characters tho, I mean shocking. I can reproduce anything put in front of me, or sketch it up with a mood/feeling but cartoony style I just can't do it all.

I have had 2 works from Uni featured In Creative Design and one in Artists & Illustrators magazine many moons ago.
Both incredibly loose sketchy work.

EDIT
Days before the internet was really ubiquitous (1997). A quick search has no results.

Some seriously nice artwork in here chaps.

Luckily I work an office job, so I'm still able to enjoy it. Ta for feedback, understand what you mean by 'trying' the concentration from trying to nail down features and proportions is probably telling, and why I'm trying to nail them down, so they're natural.

When I was in college one of the tutors took it upon herself to kick me out of the habit of anally reproducing everything I was given to draw.
It took about a year but once she had managed it I couldn't face doing painstakingly accurate drawings ever again.

If I did have stuff to post it would mostly look like scribble!
In fact the Artist & Illustrators mag thing was a piece I did for a Uni project on Kafka's Metamorphosis. I think I did a little 5 cm high sketch and then blew it up on a photocopier to A4 and coloured it up with some screen printing sketching.

While I remember I used to love doing screen print sketching.
1. Get a completely clean screen
2. get all your inks together in tubs
3. cut up lots of strips of stiff cardboard at different widths to use as brushes
4. Using the cardboard paint onto the screen what you want, make the ink thick.
5. pull the screen as per normal 

it was incredibly wasteful on ink and you could only get one pull out of the screen as it would all smear together on the second, but you got some lovely stuff out of it.

I'm coming across as a show off here looking back over the last couple of pages. Sorry guys. Ill keep it in the shaggy dog thread..

I haven't read the shaggy dog thread and if I'm honest, I probably won't.  So I'll be needing you to post your drawings in here if I'm going to see them.

Read it and read it now. It's the best thing about the forum.

Everything I hear about them suggests they are.

I'll ask in here as couldn't find the thread: Are The Walking Dead comic/graphic novels good? I fancy trying some graphic novels out.

Fucking brilliant, if you want a sample I'll grab some screens of my iPad, just let me know...

@Revel: Shut up you tit and keep posting in here!
