Bucksters Sketchbook, Development of an uninspired mind [Nudity]

**Buckster** · September 20th, 2007, 05:02 AM

Hello to you all and welcome to my humble little sketchbook.
This is my first thread here so here is a little info on myself to start off:

I am living in Sweden and studying game design and developement in Skövde. I've been drawing and sketching ever since I was a kid and this thread is meant to show my development aswell as to develop myself even further so please leave your comments and critique.

[Here are a few sketches to start things off, there will be more here very soon]

and now we are at present day, more comming shortly. I hope to get some nice critizism now so I can evolve and improve along with you here at ConceptArt.

Cheers

wow, I really like your style, it has a definite character two it, especially the b/w sketches. I hope to see more of them fleshed out and polished as time goes on.

**Viking Raider** · September 20th, 2007, 07:04 PM

love your pencil rendering, especially the weirwolf guy from post #6. I like the poses too. Swords and armor, rock on!

**Buckster** · September 21st, 2007, 09:27 AM

some digital art, I am a newbee when it comes to digital coloring so please give me some critisism on theese.

the chef is a quickie ^^

**Tmza** · September 21st, 2007, 03:04 PM

Man, you got very impressive sb in here! I really like the style in your pencilworks. Great characters and inspirative creatures. My favorite is that dude with huge sword, cape and long hair in post 5. Seems you need to practice in digital painting (well, dont we all), but overall they are looking good.

**Hellblaster** · September 21st, 2007, 08:13 PM

The chefdude seem to have done something good and are proud over it, and he is waiting for someone to hug him. the sincerity in his eyes. ahw!
Anyway, the sketch of the girl with the huge swords are something you might consider continue working on, she's one good piece of art and are by all means worth a little more attention, I even think you should put som color on her just because it sounds like a good idea.

**Buckster** · September 23rd, 2007, 02:17 PM

tmza: I agree that my digitals need alot of work, thank you for the nice comments.
Hellblaster: Thank you for the comments, I just might continue and do a digital of the girl. ^^

this digital is a fast, fast painting.

**Evxyza92** · September 23rd, 2007, 02:22 PM

Clean up the fat guy pic, and try to define a light source, I'll be sure to look for an update on that one.

**motives** · September 23rd, 2007, 02:38 PM

Wow! Great work here! Some perspective issues in some drawings, nothing too serious though

The swordgirl with the mountains in the background is my absolute favourite.
Keep at it!

**Camara** · September 23rd, 2007, 02:42 PM

Hey!!!Good start,man!!!Just some anatomical issues,but anyway,great work!!!Hope to see more digital stuff!

**Buckster** · September 24th, 2007, 06:12 PM

Evxya92: Thank you and I will clean up the quickie and post the process as well soon.
Motives: Thank you for the nice words, I might just do a digital of the swordgirl sketch since it seems to be somewhat of a fav.
Camara: Thank you for the critisism, please do stop by again and give me feedback.

This piece is for a Jack the Ripper theme we had at a little get together.

hi buckster, it's great to see your improvement over this thread.. as far as c & c for the digital painting of the robot, i think it's working quite well but flattens out in the foreground.. my fave is the sketch of the machine/girl above the butcher. that'd look nice painted!

**Buckster** · September 26th, 2007, 11:40 AM

Pearblossom: Thank you very much for the nice comment, I will consider doing a digital of that girl ^^. I agree with the flattening effect on the robot. THank you for the c&c

Here is a process of the butcher piece. I guess that I rushed the end too much so the hands, weapons and bg are very sketchy.

here you go ^^

**Buckster** · September 26th, 2007, 11:43 AM

finished

**Buckster** · September 27th, 2007, 01:18 PM

This is a piece that I felt inspiered to do after a lecture at school, doodling away.

**InstantIndian** · September 27th, 2007, 02:19 PM

Dude, the fat guy rocks. I wanna see some extreme foreshortening so your creations pop out more.

**Buckster** · September 27th, 2007, 02:37 PM

InstandIndian: Thank you for the compliment, I will take your opinions on foreshortening in mind.

Here is a quick pencil sketch that needed some extra grayscale work. My girlfriend had some useful inputs this time ^^

**OneOfTwo** · September 27th, 2007, 02:59 PM

Hey there, I like the way you show different characteristics in each of your pieces, it works really well! Nice job on the mechanical pieces as well, I really should do more of those myself.

**vaettir** · September 27th, 2007, 07:16 PM

Vi tar det på svenska...

Så, nu ska jag försöka analysera och ge kritik efter bästa förmåga... Håll i hatten.

Det första jag kommer att tänka på är att jag tycker att du är bra på att rita form och tänka tredimensionellt. Att du alltså kan vrida på kroppar och former och ställa dem i olika vinklar, och inte bara rita dem ur vissa fixa perspektiv.

Jag gillar också dina skisser. Linjerna känns både säkra och rena, och ger en bra känsla av formen. Speciellt benen på den här figuren: http://conceptart.org/forums/attachm...1&d=1190326122

Vad gäller renderingen tycker jag du beskriver form och "rikting" i detaljerna bra. Dock tenderar den övergripande formen (senaste buzz-ordet? Behöver synonymer till "form"...) att bli lite platt. På den hukande tjejen med de stora vantarna som exempel. Både den uppåtvända ryggen och den nedåtvända magen är högdagrarna lika ljusa och skuggorna i princip lika mörka. Samma sak som jag brukar slarva med... Ett tipps jag fick av Björn var att först skugga hela figuren som ett objekt, då har du liksom redan angett ett maxvärde för högdagrarna när du sedan går in och renderar detaljer.

Den digitala biten så. Tycker det ser jävligt bra ut, speciellt med tanke på hur lite du har jobbat med PS. Har bara två anmärkningar här: En del bilder ser oskarpa ut på vissa ställen, speciellt där där du inte definierat detaljerna noggrannare (t.ex. axelskydden på den senaste färgbilden och skallen på gubben med korset i pannan), vilket blir lite irriterande för ögat. Har du dragit ned hardness på penslarna? I så fall skulle jag nog rekomendera att du använde en hård pensel, i alla fall till konturerna. Den andra grejen är att hudfärgerna kunde må bra av lite mer olika färger och nyanser (så att det inte bara är olika mörka/ljusa varianter av samma färg), fast jag ser att du fått in lite grönt och rött i de senaste bilderna så du är ju på rätt spår där.

Måste säga att tjockisen har fått riktigt trevlig hud, speciellt där det veckar sig så där mysigt på magen.

Känns verkligen som löst hängande läderaktigt skinn. Ser bara en liten miss på hans vänstra pectoralis som ser ut att bukta inåt. Tror inte det skulle ha skadat med några ännu ljusare högdagrar uppe på nackmusklerna (kan inte det coola namnet...) och deltoiderna och på vapnena, för att riktigt visa formen och blankheten.

Slutligen måste jag bara påpeka att jag tycker mig se tydliga Hurriinfluenser i hjälmen på den näst senaste bilden, och att jag verkligen älskar dina blyertsnäsor!

wow, love your style and shapes!
..I think I'll leave the constructive part to vaettir..

stå på

**MeTaL-Mike** · September 28th, 2007, 04:04 AM

cool stuff! love the concepts

**Nizza_waaarg** · September 28th, 2007, 04:23 AM

hey, really cool sketches. Looks like you'd be perfect in game design. I especially like most of your black and white sketches, the rendering comes across really well. Your digital stuff is looking good too, no specific crits on that, just more practice.

I think there are some anatomy issues in a few of your pics that could use some resolving. Though your style is very cool, I just think some of the peices don't seem right anatomically.

and on that butcher pic, his pectorals(right one) should lead under his deltoid i thought, his kinda got a pointy bit overlapping, just kinda stuck out for me at first

very cool work overall though, looking forward to updates

cheers,
chris

**Buckster** · September 28th, 2007, 04:41 AM

OneofTwo: Thank you the compliments.

vaetiir: Tack för kritiken. Jag håller med om att jag borde vara mer noga med gråskalan vid renderingen, tack för att du påminde mej ^^

lysgaard: thank you for stopping by ^^

MeTaL-Mike: Thank you as well.

Nizza-waaarg: I really do appreciate the c&c, thank you for pointing out what bothers you. I will keep at it so please do stop by again.

Here is a quick sketch I made today, daily doodle.
