Thought I might as well jump on the band wagon and get one of these going.

First 3 were meant to be yesterdays post, but WOW got a hold of me after I finished sketching last night. These two were finished today.

Man, over 40 views and not 1 comment? Anything at all?

I like Monstar the best of your sketches and maybe the heads you draw are a lil on the big side. The first perspective shot aint workin that well. You got his body appear tro be going to the vanishing point but your freehand lines aren't following the vanishing point.

SPidey needs to have a smaller dome because his upper body
is moving away from the viewer.

Nice attempt as perspective drawing is generally the hardest.

If people don't have comments or crits don't be phased. You should see the other stuff in here that doesn't get comments.

Hey man. I just saw your posts and was really impressed. I really like the Iron Man. Like greendri above, I like Monstar as well. Your sense of lights and darks is really nice. If I had one comment or suggestion, it would be to give the shapes you're using for the heads of your figures a bit of a look. They seem too ovular, and taper too much at the chin/jaw. It doesn't look quite so noticeable on Spider-man, because we're used to different exaggerations with his head. It works on Monstar as well, because the beard balances it out. But on Cap, it makes his chin a little weaker. This is easily fixed.

I'm just curious, what lead do you do your break-downs/rendering with?

Keep up the great work,

Greendri: Yeah, I have a habit of drawing the heads a bit large on my figures. I used to do it all the time, now it still crawls back into my work when I'm sketching alot, doesn't usually happen when I'm working on finished images.

Barkley: Yeah, that Cap is looking a bit pinched, poor dead bastard. As for lead, I use mechanical pencils, .5 and .7 mm HB lead.

Between the mandatory overtime at work right now and working on the comic, I haven't had much time to sketch lately. I'll make sure I get some more stuff up this weekend.
Here's a Buffy sketch to tide you over (cause people care *grin*)

Been awhile, I'll try to update more often in the future.

Most of this is very nice. Very nice indeed.

I'll echo what Greendri said about your large heads; the first to last image features them as well. The Buffy and Giles images are pretty good in and of themselves but if you were going for likeness you'll have to take a closer look at your reference.

[Mr.Hades]

Nice sketches.
I would echo the 'big heads' thing. I slip into the opposite when drawing and give my characters small heads. I like the Spidey and the Buffy is spot on...I think I voted for your Deadpool pic to win.

[anthonyharrisart]

Norman: Yeah, still working on proper proportions. I'll get there someday. As for the Buffy/Giles shots, I was going for looking *like* them without having to do complete likenesses.

Mr. Hades: I'll, belated, thank you for your vote for the drawoff. I'm really having a good time sketching Spiderman for warmup sketches and whatnot. I'm working on ideas for a Spidey sequential set for an eventual online portfolio. Hopefully, I'll have some stuff from that to show. If my job will stop giving us so much damn mandatory overtime.

Todays sketch done for someone over at Artxilla. They asked for a companion piece for the Deadpool one. Enjoy the lame.

Scott Kolins vibe. BIG TIME. I like these a lot.

[anthonyharrisart]

Todays sketch is an iffy-looking Hulk, but I liked some of the details enough to put it up.

These are pretty good. Watch out on that anatomy on Hulks arm on that last one, its a bit off.

Def. post something more refine.
