zauselbart's sketchbook (stop whining, start working)

[Revidescent]

Wow, that Tenochtitlan piece is incredible. I like the animal studies as well, nice feel to them.

[Zauselbart]

Revidescent: thanks a lot - i love your portraits! yes the tenochtitlan piece was hard work
PeteJ: thanks!! yes i must do more figure studies - i really suck in proportion - man, why i'm so lazy
Etchpa: thanks mh you are right. mostly i use the normal round brush. i dont' knwo why - i will try to change this. thanks for the advice!

and here is no a wip, party time

[Purim]

Hey Zauselbart ^^ Vielen dank für das overpaint!
You corrected the face from being somehow molten to a nice pretty face. Thanks for that! I certainly do see my errors now.
And hey! Your sketchbook is totally awesome, it's nice to see someone improve that quickly. There isn't anything I could give you advice on right now other than keep going!

[PeteJ]

Hey, good to see you doing more stuff. Keep it up.

[Yemi775]

[Zauselbart]

[Zauselbart]

character design / wip maybe - i'm too slow - 3 hours and still bad

[Zauselbart]

portrait sketch from imagination - still too slow

[Yemi775]

Holy shit! the colors you used for that character design just made me smile on the inside. Wow keep them coming buddy!

[Saran09]

really nice sketchbook, your traditional stuffs is really nice , you faces are definitely improving! keep you the hard work

[Zauselbart]

Yemi775 - thanks a lot - yes we keep rocking!
Saran09 - many thanks! i will do my best

so here is a little sketch (with photo ref) 50 minutes with a different brush as usual - not too bad - but sill too slow

update: other portrati study with the same brush 45 minutes

@KateyParr: you have right - i should take the time for studies - the main thing is to learn - thanks a lot!

[KateyParr]

Hey man! It's okay to be slow. Once you've 'got it', then you can worry about time. Some people are naturally gifted at being quick. I spend 4 hours on tiny sketches sometimes, but it's okay as long as your learning and something came out of it. Your digitals are looking fantastic and I like your use of brushes. I really love that little tv set and sofa illustration. It's got adorable colours and a homely feel. My favourite!

[Flaskpost]

Mucho nice studies! Good progress from the earlier pages! Keep kickin it!

[Zauselbart]

Flaskpost: Thanks a bunch!! - your sketchbock is just awesome - thanks for stopping by

face study - was a pain in the ass - maybe next time
and 2 minutes figures - i must do more of these

i'm searching a mentor - i'm just too bad
I'd really appreciate any critics and comments - thanks!

[Revidescent]

The colours on your studies are looking really great, and the last few heads have some really nice brush technique. Watch the structure a little more carefully, though; some of the facial features are a bit off-axis. =)

[Zauselbart]

Revidescent: thanks a bunch - yes i should take a look by bammes - i'm need more structure in the first phase of painting - try to fix that

here are some airplane sketches: the first are a little older, the last one is from today all with ref, 1h for each

[Zauselbart]

quick colors studies / 30 - 45 min

[Zauselbart]

anatomy studies / 2 minutes
and color study

[Zauselbart]

mh wip - there is a lot of work

critique is always welcome!

[Zauselbart]

color study superwoman
quick b&w

[Zauselbart]

new portrait with ref - wip
try to push the things little further than the other portraits - i'm not satisfied

[kevin_]

nice updates! your colors seem pretty spot on! all i see is proportion issues so keep an eye on that.

[Zauselbart]

kevin_ many thanks - yes, proportion is a really hard thing for me - i keep an eye on that!

little update e new character sketch - wip

[Kvetch]

Hey, your sketchbook was really fun to look through. You seem to have an awesome grasp on perspective. The pen sketches of environments on p2 & 3 are great, and the technical drawings (violin, tools, etc.) are insane.

I really like this one: http://conceptart.org/forums/attachm...1&d=1355838767
