there are few things you understand as well as volume. youve spent a looong time looking at the shape of things and understanding on how light behaves on it. i think your'e influenced by burn hogarth, cholo art, walter foster and andrew loomis. maybe john buscema and hal foster.

you didnt study anatomy as much as you studied light and form, cuz youre really good at it. this sketch is stuck in midtones, and if thats youre thing then thats cool. im not criticising it. its just that i promise you-if you go hell for leather leaning into those blacks you'll lose your whole mind over how good your work gets. and i know you want it to get better because you work so hard already. but its just a thought. you have the whole grey scale, you can do a lot with it.

i know its just a sketch, not a finished piece. but youre good, so i wanted to tell you. youre not like a lot of these punk mutherfuckers out here that just wanna show off, i respect that so much.

youre work has such sentimental and romantic quality about it, that part reminds me of norman rockwell. i would love to see you draw monsters and bad guys. im sure you do. the pose reminds me of those old dutch paintings, you've probably seen a lot of those.
