Thank you all. I really appreciate your comments!

@smceccarelli This is actually really sound advice! I even have some water-soluble pencils that I've never used haha. I forgot they were soluble. I do layout before I leave any harsh lines, I stipple an outline for the linework, then I do the same thing for the shadows.

Heinrich Kley is Awesome!! He has so much rhythm throughout his drawings. The poses of his characters are expressive and lifelike as well. Thank you for the reference

Hey there welcome aboard.

I believe it would be better if you post some of your works in the main post, instead of leading peoples to a different link. At least for me, when I click a sketchbook, if it's empty I just skip it go to the next sketchbook. I do not really click off-site links.

Just my thoughts. Aside from that, look forward to see what you continue to post.
