These are fabulous. Because you're obviously quite skilled already, be more daring with the marks you leave and the way you load the brush!

That’s very kind of you to say, thank you! I definitely want to go more expressive eventually, just making sure I have a solid base first. :)

More rendering and character design. Trying to keep it simple. I really like to use the lasso for selecting areas and applying airbrush set to dodge or burn, it has a cool effect I think.

I think you have the right idea, use circular forms for the contours which are foreshortened. I know it's not what you're aiming to do, but try tracing the image now.

I like his expression. You really captured some emotion here. I think his hair lost the magic, however, it looks like it's pressed up against glass the way you shaded it. Also bring just a little more light to his jaw so that it doesn't completely melt into the background, which probably isn't what you want considering his ear is lit.
Thank you for your critique, Nathan.
I see what you mean with the hair. I do find that I struggle simplifying the general form of hair.
And good point on the jaw area. Makes complete sense when you compare it to the ear.
Now that you mentioned it, I believe I was to concerned with utilizing lost edges that I forgot about the picture as a whole.
I'll keep these in mind for the next one.
Take care!

Took some time to make characters with a Philip K. Dick vibe. I don't like spending too much time fiddling with details, rather let my brushes do the work and add little bits of visual interest wherever. Let me know what you think.
Hi Marco. Your work is very upbeat and child appropriate. Have you made any 'darker' work?

Thanks, Nathan!
Oh, yes. I have a huge horror side of me that comes out in my art - usually around October. It's scattered all over my instagram page (@bucciblog), and I love putting my usually upbeat style into a dark image.
Here's a picture of a girl disposing of a body, for example:

Been on a Depeche Mode trip lately, I don't know what started it but for the past 1.5 weeks I've been consuming their tuff. It's wildly nostalgic. "Never let me down" is an absolute banger, but the music video is lacking. "Enjoy the silence" is the next best thing in my opinion. Can we do hashtags here? #depechemode

My dog is a bit of a loose cannon. Try taking away his chew toy and he'll throw a fit. This picture personifies the little guy when he has a jealous tantrum.
