    I dont feel the need to post all the work I posted in the previous sketchbook thread.

    I've missed you so much, Punaji.

    Everything looks tip top to me, but the hatching you've implemented, the squigglyness, and the feet stand out as particularly nice. Really like that type of hatching.

    I like how you draw by using rough lines to suggest forms, good stuff.

    loose forms are fun and easy

    your faces are getting better, i especially like that one on the right in the last one. I would like to see less scribbling, more concentrated sketches though : )

    I'm digging the chaos and flow, I'd like to see more stronger work like this

    maybe stronger realism that isn't very sketched, mixed with these crazy squiggles and lines.. maybe it might fuel inspiration for other neat designs?

    glad you're keeping the scene alive!

    I agree with Zach. You've got the mileage down, now try to really put some concentrated effort into these little pages. Beautiful stuff, your extremely talented for your age.

    Please indulge my scribble kick I've had little patience but to do quick studies

    Duuude.
    That new one is so awesome. I love the depth. Foreshortening has always been a weakness of mine. Great blanket, too.

    The middlest knuckle looks weird, though. And tbh, I'm not fond of the scribbly. What's he holding?

    damn man, your ability to capture realism is getting that much better each time. i really dig this one for the depth and contrast. the cloth to his right looks great too

    it looks to me like you're rushing and being unforgiving with mistakes

    the floral in the top left is sweet
    though I still see no structure in the drawings..

    yeah that is the worst part of the otherwise fun scribbling

    This ones got a bit more structure to it, nice stuff. Reminds me of a Picasso self portrait.

    I don't see what any of you mean by his things lacking structure. Messy? Yes. Lacking structure? Not really.

    Also new one is fantastical.

    Im pretty sure what zach and forgettenfigure mean is that the two dimensional scribbles are incongruent with t he three dimensional forms- they're flat

    I think it works pretty well with some of your stuff, like in the top two on this: [url=http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc223/Retro_Nym/001-1.jpg] Maybe not so well in the more volumetric ones but I'd rather see better integration (3-dimensional scribbling? :|) rather than you ditching it entirely...

    the guy on the bottom right is really the only thing that gets to me, could just be an issue of contrast. the arms look great though, so much flow and definition with so little lines

    yeah i used some .05 cent trash pencil or something and juxtaposed it with an real pencil bad idea. also bad likeness anyways

    I know these arent the most interesting pages, but all I can think of right now is to fall back on quick figure drawings of people around me it loosens my mind

    your lines are fluid.. but I don't think they follow form and gesture all too correctly yet, maybe work more carefully? it seems like most people have a problem with being too picky with lines and whatnot.. maybe you're the opposite of the spectrum

    i dont think i understand what your trying to say can you please elaborate this sounds important

    (caveat if your refering to proportions of the girl on right: shes like 14, her proportions are strange Im not saying its a perfect rendering but this wasnt a full grown woman I just messed up completely)

    (but you seem to be targeting something more general anyways)

    hmm.. basicly what I'm trying to say is go back to working with shapes and take a break from just scribbling what you think you see

    for instance.. the girl on the right is leaning far too backwards.. and her legs are bending awkwardly.. and I don't really understand what's going on with the feet

    i feel the same way, you are nearly there though...

    your rendering is nice enough, it's just that the forms become a bit too curvy and snake-like, rather than straight out definition. try defining the outlines more which will force you to look at the angles. This goes for the bottom part of her legs especially
