   Hey, welcome to the boards. 'Fraid they're a bit dead though, hopefully you can liven things up a bit.

   And... yeah, wow, awesome art. I'm jealous. Love that crown though.

   Hey trying to keep a sketchbook of some kind, trying to get some daily drawings out, still along way from actually getting a full drawing finished from start to finish. Here is some ship sketchs, although no colour Im trying to deal with subject that I dont usually do, so ships seemed like a good warm up for some environ sketches later tonight.

   Hey ya, great to see you updating!

   With the little house thing, I think the main issue is that you tried eye balling the perspective. Best thing to do is draw up a perspective grid to guide you along. The vehicles look pretty cool, but again, few perspective issues, mainly with missing wings/booster on the other side of the body (in some of those you should see them, but very foreshortened).

   Well that's all my crits, keep posting. Gonna post too once I hand my last assignments in.

   Sorry I hadn't posted sooner, but I don't really have anything intelligent to say. This is some cool stuff and it looks pretty darn good to me.

   Hey Yabot,

   I'm seeing a good sense of foreshortening in these thumbnails, particularly in some of the ship sketches.

   It seems like you have a tendency to overwork the lines in your sketches, and I'm seeing some slow moving lines that can actually be smoothed out by hitting them faster. If you're worried about getting the lines in the right place drop a few dots onto the paper and ghost the pencil between them until you've comfortable with the motion. 'Fengdots' work
