    I don't think I could work alone anywhere. When I'm alone I just do this academic stuff.

    Let's not throw that A word around like that.
    Or pretty soon you'll be reduced to paint splatters and color fields.

    I logged in just to say that I am completely envious of every single one of those and wish that I was the one that had made them. Well, I guess I don't really dig the first painting all that much, but those sketches. Fuck yes, sucker.

    Are those really called sacred dimples? because that's kind of funny.

    Also I really love that negative space skeleton. I mean damn. That's hot.

    I saw the shoes picture and was like "holy shit is that a painting of shoes" and then I was like "oh."

    dude, that is impressive. the middle red on the girl i think is a tiny bit jarring for a skintone, maybe a slightly different hue could work, but not a big deal. that is very very nice,, damn. I second david and xion as well. the skeleton and the studies are amaaaaazin

    Thirded. The skeleton is tight. I really like how well you can capture poses, and make them feel completely natural.

    Beautiful work. I really love your lines, especially those thick outlines, like on the statues. The skeleton is absolutely my favorite; the contrast between the simplicity of the outline and the very detailed background is stunning.

    Man I didn't think much of the skeleton, I spent a while on it but dont rate it much, thanks guys.

    Ampersand: I see what you're saying, thats a lesson Ill take from that piece for sure, good eye. The chalk has a bit of a learning curve.

    Will: Thanks for the encouragement.

    DancinBoogieMan: Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it.

    Dorsa: I think I'll have to try that skeleton technique again then, I have an idea starting.

    Just got a picture taken of this piece, finished it earlier this winter. Not satisfied, looking at redoing. Its three by four feet. Or four by three?
