Go to the last page!!!


Hi all!!!
I've just complete my first real sketchbook (almost 200 pages!!!!)
I want to show you some of my drawings,I've scanned the pages I like most.
Some are from photos, some from real life...someone invented...
And I post some of my digital sketch as well.

I use Photopaint and a Wacom tablet for digital paint.

I hope to update this sketchbook weekly...
Thanx
Dan

Only old man and bikini girl are from refs





Batman is not from references!!! :-)


No refs for those pages


I use a real life references for the couple on the bench, and for the man with
moustache on right page


I use some detail reference from military veicle for the sketches on the right



digital...

all the digitals sketches are from photoreferences with a little bit interpretation.

[JPC]

I specially like your sketches of everyday people and your digi stuff just really inspires me.
note: either your sketchbook is small or you have a big ass scanner!

[Carbono]

Cool studies, i love how you did the curves of the 'fat girl'!

Keep it up!

Really sweet stuff. No crits. Those vehicles look very nice, and the two old guys sitting talking are also very well captured. Looking forward to more posts.

Thanx all for replies, I'm working -and scanning! :-) - for more posts!

[funfetus]

Wow, EXCELLENT stuff. I love the drawings. Your figures look so...fleshy. The digitals are great as well. Excellent values and colors, but I think they could stand to be a little sharper. Keep up the incredible work!

hey !

very cool sketchbook pages.
i like your pencils very much, especially the perspective views of the ladies
but really nice flow in all of your lines. very lively.

but i have some problems with the digital colored pieces.
the colors just dont want to jump to life somehow, in fact i miss the depth in most of them, seems you do little abstraction or close looking at nature.
rather you seem to use photoreferences (which is basically ok for sure) and copy the flat colors.

there is so much more going on in color varieties, maybe its all to sketchy to judge it from that point of view, but learning from life and closely observing what is there to see, not what you think you know about any given object, would add life to the colors as much as in your pencils and figures.

just my 2 cent, keep up the good work !

[Ian Mack]

I'd have to agree about the use of photo refs...you're people look great but the landscapes felt flat to me as well. I've gotta wonder what size sketchbook you're working with! I really like how you push the figures so much yet are still able to bang out something completely different as well. First the cars, then the castle, then the robots. It's something that I want to start doing in my SB. The only other thing I can note is that you're skipping out on the rendering of the fingers in most of your figures. Great work though!

[DANKA]

Hi
azghoul_ Thanx for the constructive criticism on my digits landscape
I see your color study named "coastlight" and...man! it's amazing! thanx again

Ian Mack_ Thanx for compliments and for the constructive suggests!

I hope to post some more tomorrow!

[kidult]

Great stuff man - like the diversity in the subject matter.

[jinok]

wow graet stuff i love your style

[NemesisOnline]

Wonderful stuff, can't wait to see more.

[DANKA]

Sketchbook!

A pair of my colleagues caricature, from real life.


I used photo refs for the man and the screaming girl with glasses on bottom right.


The images on right was ispired by a photo of a man with a monster mask (the first up on page)


Digits

From various panorama photos that inspired me


this is from a photo of Michele Trecate_ http://www.vercellink.com/fotografie/paesaggio.php _


Inspired from a photo

[Tom van der Linden]

cool SB man, you're pencil work is great! You inspire me to use the pencil more 'stead the good 'ol ballpen. Keep it up!

[zeo-x]

Amazing pencil sketches mate. Really loving the line quality on your pencils. And the digital works are really cool too.

[clayman101]

I really like the variety of approaches you take. The only gripe I might have is that I'd like to know which are your original works, and which have been referenced.

Whatever the case may be, I really enjoyed looking at all of your stuff.

Cheers!
