Hello everyone I'm Wesley, (Zanben)

Here are some social media links if anyone would like to see my stuff there too! ^__^

ArtStation

Now that that is out of the way, I am a Fine Arts grad who is mostly self taught in the way of digital painting and is starting to dabble in 3D sculpting. I'm starting this artblog to help motivate myself and to keep track of my progress and studies. My goal for the next year is to break into the concept art industry for games and I am going to try to accomplish that by working on my craft and portfolio. That is the goal!!

I want to keep this space updated daily with my studies and works in progress, so feel free to leave any comments or criticisms. ^__^

So I'll start with some sketches I've done the other day!

Thanks for stopping by! ^__^

Hi zanben, great sketches you got here! :] I especially like the bearded dude in profile haha~ Keep it up & I'm looking forward to what else you post!

Love this type of thing I fill sketch book pages like this all the time :smile: can't wait to see more, they are all looking good

Very smart and directed study tactic, should follow your example on that front. ^_^

Hello! Nice work with your sketchbook so far :smile:
If i may offer a criticism and suggestion, it would be to work more on anatomical structure. In the last drawing, if you were to analyse the tridimensional structure, the symmetry of is not accurately observed, the right ear would be a lot more visible, and the right eye doesn't quite fit the skull (and both eyes look very close together). Her neck is also a bit thick.
I recommend drawing a bunch of human skulls for practice. This will help you draw heads better, obviously, but also help with general 3d forms.

Nice work you have here, I really like that fish person with his lamp thing.
Fishmen should be used more in general fantasy (and scifi) :smile:

Zanben really great new sketches man! Especially love the latest one, nice job with the painterly shading on that one. I also reeeally love Oliver the Lazy Sword Mage drawing, it's super charming and has a really fun vibe going on. Good stuff man, lookin forward to seeing more!
