And yet again im still here.

Journal Entry: Wed Mar 26, 2008, 5:14 AM
As you might have noticed, I haven't updated my journal since November 2006.
Last picture is uploaded in October 2006. Thats about one and a half year.

This entry serves the purpose of showing that I haven't left deviantArt. In fact, I check it on regular basis.
I have practiced a bit in the time passed, but I could not complete anything I thought was worth showing and kept on practicing, until I finally stopped. I think last time I actually draw something picture-like, though not finished, was in autumn. The annoying thing is, my sense of self-critique and requirements for myself have risen with the growth of knowledge- risen faster than my actual drawing skills.

The reason I'm writing this is, I started playing with my pencils again a little and this time I'll try to finish something.
I can't tell you the exact time- if I continue being lazy, maybe still months, maybe less. Depends on how much time I have and what quality do I desire. Actually, about the last, I figured, I should just draw and see what comes out, because something is better than nothing.

Another reason to write this is not to show the ancient entry on the first page. I find that It's a bit outdated by now.

So,I hope to update soon.

Hello, there!

While browsing through the AA forums I found your deviantART and took a look at it...

I must say I like your technique with shading,but in the future, you might want to try some light color.

Comment back!

Thanks for the advice, i'll do that. Dynamics and body proportions are hard, that's why most of my chars are just standing straight and staring at distance.
:D

Hie!

(Woot, first post :D)

If you would like some friendly critique, then read this, otherwise ignore it. ;)

I just had a quick look through your pictures, they're looking nice :)
You have a good pencilling technique, not afraid to use alot of contrast, which is good. The backgrounds and stuff are looking pretty sweet too! That's something I need to practice on xD

What I would suppose you could need to improve are your characters' dynamics, but I'd say you're well on your way - just keep drawing and you'll keep improving! :D
One thing I would suggest for you, is to look at some reference pictures (real people) and practice drawing necks.

I hope this was helpful, I'm lookin forward to seeing moar! ;D
