lol sorry I posted that such a long time ago I've actually rebuilt my site since then. I've read that article though I can't remember if it was before or after I tried to use colour, in any case I decided to focus on value and anatomy first, then work in colour at a later date.

is the right link these days but I've had to take a break from drawing to concentrate on webdesign, so i can grow my business, so I can spend more time drawing, funny world.

Hi everybody, I was wondering If anyone had any advice on using colour, I've only really done life drawing using pencil or more lately in grey-scale on the computer, I had some good results and so I decided to have a go with a colour drawing. As far as I can remember this is my first real foray into this sort of thing and was looking see what direction I should be going in to improve.

Yep you've pretty much hit the nail on the head, I'm not bad when there's a model or photo in front of me, thanks for the kind words by the way, but original creations are causing me issues, troublesome since my ultimate goal is to concept my sci-fi characters.

My thoughts was that I just haven't done enough practice, I'm not the sort of person who can sit around with a sketch book doodling, despite best intentions, so I've not got a bank of things built up in my head to draw on.

If you have advice to offer it would be very much appreciated.

Hello every one I found your drawing tools about 2 weeks ago and think they are fantastic, I've been using them as often as I can in between work and children etc. I was wondering if anyone could give me some critique, I'm pretty OK with CG software and I'm desperate to make the stories in my head into animations, but I struggle with concepting the characters and stories have pretty much stayed in my head, I have tried developing ideas in the 3D programs it's a huge time drain, so I've been practicing my drawing so I can do things in the normal work flow. Any way I started 10 days ago here's my results, I tend to do a 1 hour class style session. I would really appreciate as many pointers as you can offer.
