Sketch dump

Heeeey. Let me tell something for this post.
When I started taking illustration and concept art more seriously I jumped too soon on digital painting, because I only saw the end result and not so much the foundation to get there. That was a big problem that I would only see in the future.
I got too confortable with the capabality of changing everything at any time, I sort built my skills on a very forgiving media. which is a bad thing to do in the end.
That lack of traditional training shows up on my sketchook when I try to draw straight from pen. I don't have a very confident line yet... and I haven't learn how to think carefully before putting a stroke down. So that's the reason why got back to traditional, and doing it with pen, to force me to develop my drawing skill in a good way.

That being said.... hey... here is some sketches, Hope you like them:

I also post more of these on my instagram, add me there if you wanna see more updates

trying to imagine it's anatomy

more Anatomy and some landscapes

I'm posting some traditional drawings from life and also some digital studies from photos...

This is the digital, done after more than 2 weeks without practice, each pose is 2 minutes, I used to do better and more in 1 minute... That's me failing miserably... but that's ok, let's keep practicing.

And at the end here is some digital painting studies from photos, so I may prepare better for my next creation painting. I have a hard time with leaves and trees and green... so I'm trying to improve.
Beside the first one, these were done pretty quickly, the first was the worst... after some practice things got a little better.
