Hi, I think this is my last post here, just wanted to show some of my paintings (based on photo references). These were done on canvas in quite big sizes (from 80x60 cm to 40x40 cm). I found painting portraits really challenging, and always include some trial and error during the process. I'm a little bit afraid of putting more detail in painting, because of danger to 'draw' instead of finding colour and value. Do not have any specific inspiration for doing these, just realism, but trying to do it in a good way. (Maybe I found something painted similar, there are some old novel covers painted in guache that looks similar) Would like to thank for such a nice welcome on the platform under other posts, these gave some boost to keep doing art :)

In order to learn drawing comics and develop a style 2 years ago I decided to cooperate with a screenwriter on a full graphic novel (100 pages). 3/4 is done and I see some progress - lines are more confident and i simplify face expressions more, also it begins to feel like fun to draw (at the beginning it was nothing but struggle). I cannot show this work, however here are samples of pages from some short personal comics (finished while working on a main project). My goal is to draw in a kind of minimalistic style. Began with realism (attached black and white pages) and I was inspired by Magnus (he drew for Max Bunker) The colored work shows the direction I try to go into. In my opinion it is still not enough stylized yet, sometimes a bit cartoony, but in other pages to much real. I like John Romita and his thick lines, and he was one of my inspirations for drawing these. I don't know if this way of progressing by just drawing is enough, maybe i should need to do some fundamentals course again, for example to break characters into primitives. Really don't know right know. Any advice would be helpful :) Here is another post with my sketches to show my life drawing https://www.proko.com/community/topics/sketching-critique

Hi! I would like to post some of my sketches for critique. These were done during urban sketching meetings, so people I drew were moving. I gotta admit first, that I was studying some theory about drawing a lot time ago, and forgot a lot of terms. I decided to upload some fast sketches as well as more polished ones. Thanks for help!
