pencil pushing

[serhc]

Sooo uh, I've been here for a while under another handle, but never really contributed any art, so I figured it'd probably be better if I got a fresh start with an art post...

edits: crit away please!

[serhc]

A couple of new images, and I cleaned out the first post of some of the less crucial pics


The second one was done as a 90 minute portrait assignment for stevekim's class

edit: added the one from the first post here

[ProgDraws]

hi! nice sketchessss man!

[catface]

LOOPY! awesome

[Dan Valkar]

sweet sb! neat teen girls...nice pencils..show us more!

[serhc]

Thanks for the commentos guys, here's a new batch, again done for stevekim's class:





I've recently rediscovered deviantart for its nude stock photos, so I guess I'll be having a lot more naked people in this sketchbook, haha

[serhc]

Filling sketcher with my junks:
I think I work better on that application than any other digital program...or pencil, which is probably not a good thing :|

[octopus_interphone]

Ah, a bunch of pretty girls. Nice. I noticed you have the tendency to make everybody's hands really small in proportion to their body, so keep that in mind.

[ped454]

The skinny-ness of your characters reminds me of Samurai Champloo and the manga 'Ares'. I like your style a lot. It's very rare to see and with some refinement it'll get even better. Hope to see ya round

[Cold]

Nice sketching my favourite one is the face in your second post, nice! na mean

[ABC]

I like your style. Reminds me of Chester Brown.

It would be great to see the sense of action from your imaginative work in the reference studies.

[MurdokX]

take your time on some sketches.

[ajvenema]

i agree with murdokx, finish something
sketches are looking good though, they have style

[serhc]

octopus_interphone: Thanks, I'll go back and look at those again and keep an eye out for it in the future

ped454: Thanks! I'm trying to refine my lines, giving them more meaning and such. Hopefully they'll be a bit tighter in time

Cold: Thanks yoo, and thanks for taking the time to return-looking at my sb, hehe

ABC: Will try to do that. I tend to compartmentalize when I'm drawing, separating referenced from imaginative work...what skills I have don't seem to carry so fluidly - thanks for bringing it to my attention!

MurdokX: Thanks, will do. I will fight down my impatience :]

ajvenema: Hopefully I'll get a finished piece up here soon :] thanks


New scribbles from sketcher, with bits added in PS where the limited page size of sketcher wouldn't let me do more

[serhc]

Hey peoples, some new doodles off sketcher. I think I'm going to horizontally extend the canvas of the last one and turn it into a finished piece, finally.

[naomiful]

glad I met you in sketcher, your drawings especially the pencil ones in the beginning are really beautiful

keep at the life studies and figure drawings, you will go very far ~

[towy]

I like line more violating for the last ones

[serhc]

thanks naomi, means a lot from you
thanks warlock, not sure what the second part means though


Some new sketches, done on paper - it's a little less scribbly than the digital stuff, I think

Edit: sorry, these might be a little light on some monitors...it seems a little inconsistent

[catface]

Nice updates loops You got good line quality in these pencil sketches and THERE ARE DETAILS no way...

I suggest doing more studies and drawing from referance more often. the proportions on your figures are a little off sometimes, mostly the hands and feet are smaller than they should be. I like the first one lots o cool hands

update more!

see you in sketcher

[serhc]

New one, portrait of Agyness Dean from photographic reference, done in sketcher and fixed a bit in PS. Missed the likeness, and I'm crap with skin tones...guess there's a lot more practice to go

[grenappels]

hello fellow college student. keep it up, you're good, and keep in touch, i need some local competition to keep me motivated.

[serhc]

kanoodle: thanks yo, will practice those things :]

grenappels: haha, thanks dude, so do i, and looks like i got some catching up to do. we should get some kind of sketch group together or something


so this is another model from reference, and it's pretty obvious i got more than a little work to do with colors :| any suggestions are highly welcome

[serhc]

working on values and forms a bit, also trying to keep the gestures and energy while losing the scribbliness in the linework

[Renegade89]

Hi
Lovely sketches, i think you do very well on the rhythm of your drawings, you got very good gestures and interesting stylization, keep working .

post 22: I dont have very good eye to colors but i think adding a bit more saturation in the midtones might help, it keeps the piece from looking muddy

[Ignominious]

i think the ONLY thing i can crit on is to work a bit more on anatomy

you've got a good color sense, and a wonderful sense of weight and movement in your figures.
a very very good sense of it!
i'm jealous....haha

[serhc]

renegade: thanks, i'll keep that in mind for later paintings

ignomi: thanks i'm doing a couple of actual figure studies as i'm writing this, but i don't have access to a scanner, so they'll have to be put up...later, i guess, haha

so anyway, here's another one from sketcher

[_andreas_]

yeah, apart from some anatomy issues, great work!
i really like the moleskine pages, your figures and faces have a sense of delicate vulnerability in them.
looking forward to more!

[catface]

Love the last one man good lines and there is nothing wrong with the color, its really nice actually. you are improving

Keep working Loops

[serhc]

Speedpainting in artrage! Getting uncomfortable with colors, going for a brighter, smilier feel...I think it was pretty successful :] The colors are a bit more vibrant than usual, which makes me happy

...though now that I look at it again, I probably should've left the bird out

[Matsign]

Hey! They are great, but don't stop with the pretty girl faces, it's really going somewhere. Lots of them made me smile. Keep doing Steves' classes!
