Idas sketchbook

[IdaS]

Greetings and thanks for looking! I'm new around here, this is my first sketchbook and i'd love criticism on everything I draw/paint. :-)

I am an 18 year old girl and I wish to become a concept artist.

[IdaS]

Some of you may have seen this in the critique section.

Shark study.

A dragon.

[greyskill]

Welcome to CA IdaS! Your work is very good!
I really like the dragon and the crocodile especially.

You seem to have a great grasp of form and how to express it interestingly with lines.

I look forward to seeing more of your work! Keep on posting!

Being a big reptile fan, I really like your croc and dragon.

[IdaS]

Hello again! This evening I wanted to play with colours. It's a moray eel, I love those. Please, tell me what you think and be honest!

@ Brandon: Thank you! I love reptiles too, they're so awesome.

[IdaS]

Another colour practise! This time, an octopus.

[greyskill]

I like your color studies!
They are very nice, and I like seeing your style in a more painterly form.

The only thing that really catches my eye is the colors are a bit to vibrant and neon for my taste.
But if neon is what you were going for than that is great.

Keep up the good work! I want to see you post here more often!

[IdaS]

@Greyskill: Thank you! I see what you mean with being too neon and vibrant. The next time I practise colouring I will try to give it a more.. Nature/less bright colours.

Tried to do the 30 - 90 sec practises with Posemaniac.

Thanks! I will try to finish it soon.

[T_Marasà]

Good work so far, love the sketched dragon, really nice gesture and flow, also I like the tickness of the neck and limbs, it makes it more imposing and feral!
Keep training with posemaniac, it's a great tool for loosening the gesture on the human figure!

[CrownLullaby]

Wow, you're so really good! Keep up the good work!

[IdaS]

Thanks!

I practised a little more with posemaniac.

Continued on the dragon.

Also I tried to think of a mermaid, turned out to be an ugly/old moray. I still don't know what to do with the arms.

[IdaS]

Just turned 18 and updating with an apple! I wanted to try practise with colours and I have heard that starting out with an apple is a good idea.

[DefiledVisions]

waah! fed drage! og tillykke med din födselsdag
keep doing those studies! but don't just try to copy them without knowing what you want to learn from it. Also I suggest doing something quick from mind after each study, using things you learned from the study.

Jeg ka godt snakke dansk men er ikke særlig go til at skrive det

Mange tak!

Lige nu øver jeg mig på at farve og anatomi. Tusind tak for tippet!

PS: Jeg synes du er god til at skrive dansk. ^^

[IdaS]

Long time since I last submitted anything.
Anyways, I've been practising anatomy. Still is!
Here's a few butts and felines haha

[Telephonoscope]

Your figures are great and I love your bright color schemes! Do you have access to live models to draw? I've found that it really helps inspire me to really get anatomy down when there is a real person in front of me.

[IdaS]

@Telephonoscope - Thank you very much! I don't have any live models except my parents, but I have a lot of books, magazines and stocks which I study.

[Telephonoscope]

No problem!

Would your parents or friends mind if you did quick sketches of them while they were sitting and watching the television or doing some other random thing that caused them to sit or stand still for a few minutes at a time?

Also, just sitting on a bench in the park or at the mall is a good way to draw people walking by. It forces you to do very quick gestural studies that are really good for loosening up.

[IdaS]

Nah, they don't mind. And thanks for the tip! I will be sure to bring a tiny sketchbook with me next time i'm in town.

[knut-]

Nics sb you got here.
Great apple study, nice values on this one.
Keep up the anatomy sketches and try to have different kinds of lines on a drawing to be more dynamic.
Keep up!

[IdaS]

@ Knut
Thank you! I will continue the studying and experiment some more with my lines

[Hilbruks]

I think you have a lot of cool sketches in your last post. Your colors are also getting very nice. And maybe most important of all; you draw really nice hands!

[greyskill]

Hey Ida!

I like your new stuff.

Your pencil work is really nice! It has a good flow to it.

keep up the good work!

[IdaS]

Hello! Im terrible sorry for the long break, but my computer crashed and my tablet was not working on my other! I have also been busy with graduating high school. I have been practising with paper and pencil, but I do not have any scanner. :|
It was weird going back to tablet but I've been warming up yesterday night
