start of my journey

[Jojomondag]

Hi all this is the start of my journey hope we will be friends!

So far concept art has helped me a lot to get my energy back. I’ve had a rough time like with my energy/fantasy for about a year now, And I’ve not been so happy ; ( but I started drawing again and I feel really happy again. So well now my goal is too never stop drawing until I die so I can be happy all the time.

Nah my goal with this is too being able to in the end take my ideas from my head and put them on paper. I think my ability to draw off things is average but when it comes to putting ideas from my crazy head onto paper it won’t work. So I’m going to push myself until I can put my ideas on a paper so everybody understand them and says something like wow you made that no way that’s awesome or something like that ( hopefully )

[Jojomondag]

This I did while riding the train a while ago and well I couldent draw anything because the traing was moving to much soo i just went wild and somehow i like what came out.

And this is the latest picture ive drawn its a draw of from a book with artwork Gil Elvgreen i think his name was.

[Spirit]

wow, a nice start to your SB nothing much i can realy crit on at the moment, so all i can say is i hope you keep on posting!

[Jojomondag]

Thanks alot Spirit I took a peek at your Sb and you have some talent there really nice!

Anyhow i would also like too work more with colors then I do but im kinda afraid of them never turns out the way I see them, but anyhow here bellow I posted a bit older watercolour artwork I did.



Ohh and i started too work on this yesterday its draw of from a person if anybody in the progress can tell who she is i have succeded . im not too happy about it atm the face is hard. But plz tell me how i can improve.

[Jojomondag]

made this quick sketch at work today, kinda liked it.

[kidult]

hey Jojomondag great that U started a sketchbook and good to see some work here. Keep practicing with anatomy studies and check out some books on proportion to help your sketches along. Practice makes perfect!

Whoopi Goldberg?


Interesting stuff, but you've got a long way to go. If you REALLY want to learn how to do stuff out of your head, first learn how to do stuff that you can see. Start with fruit, work up to figures and anatomy, THEN you know what's up.

[Jojomondag]

Just finished my Whoopi Goldberg (aka Islandic singer Bjork) But I cant really see the resemblance. But i learnt something with this picture Contrasts is a great tool i have too learn how too use it!

[Sublimus]

Looks like you're off to a good start. I think it is wise of you to continue using photo reference, but try to get some life drawing in as well. I think you are also doing well in terms of mixing up your POV.

Keep up the work and you will be in a good place soon enough!

[Jojomondag]

Thanks Alot Sublimus im looking for lifedrawings but i havent found any in my city yet ;/

[Jojomondag]

I have started a bit with anatomy its quite hard but i think im learning alot from it soo im going too continue with this for a while.




Amy C&C is welcome.

[Lake]

slow down. really. you're rushing your anatomy studies.

The reason you copy other people's anatomy drawings is for a few reasons, one of which is the muscle memory (it gets ingrained into your nervous system to draw in that manner)

take the time to work on a study until it looks near perfect. Use less scratchy lines because you know that the drawing you're copying doesn't have them.

[Jojomondag]

Thanks Lake i think i have understood the concept behind anatomy stuides now thx!

Still working this solider i drew the other day, otherwise im drawing alot of anatomy lately might post some of that soon.


Have a good one regards: Jojo

[Jojomondag]

Will try too update this more frequently now ive beeen kinda lazy grr getting angry at myself.

Anyhow need some help with this picture. It will be a piece over the financial crisis, The elements so far has been handrawed but im going too work in photoshop with everything from now on.

[Jojomondag]

[Jojomondag]

Drew this girl yesterday im quite happy with it!

[Jojomondag]

Ive always liked too draw girls and now ive desided to be really good at it!

What tips can you give me? I know practice anatomy and im really prepared to do that but i dont really know how to do it. Sofar stuidying antomy for me has just been too draw of some skelletons and their parts are there som better ways?

[Jojomondag]

Ive been starting too draw many skelletons lately and i scanned this skull for now.

[Jojomondag]

Ive started too practice more on clothes and posture. And im starting too get the hang of it jippie ive also started more on still life drawing as ive heard its a good practice. Anyhow this is what i painted the other night!

[Jojomondag]

New picture! im acctually not happy at all over this, but iguess that just proves i need to practice alot more on drawing from life. This took me a huge amount of time too complete. Anyhow any C&C are welcome.

[Jojomondag]

I just completed this last draw of a picture i found here on conceptart. Dont remember the atist atm but it was a photo i will share his name when i remember. Anyhow quite happy from this one learned alot about values. Im gonna start working on Posemaniacs now but is there any other page that works even better then posemaniacs? ive heard that usually the picture from that hompage will tend too look rather static.

I just wanna get better at drawing poses from my head so i guess thats the best way too learn.

Heya

I can't see any of your new work, things are coming up as missing image files. Maybe you would like to look into this?

One issue I see in your earlier work at least is you should think in simple shapes, draw cubes and cylinders first, to get the form of what you're drawing first. That was the advice I was given at least.

Hope that helps, good luck with your next drawings bro and have fun! =)

[Jojomondag]

Hi Kungfoowiz thx for your reply, the pixtures should be fixed now. And thx for your tips, im gonna think more in primitivs.

Did some drawings this weekend and here you can see some of them. The clock is the onw im most happy with. Trying too draw more from real life.

[Kungfoowiz]

Hey bro

Interesting, your shapes and sense of form has improved much from your earlier drawings. For example the shapes are more believable from the seashells, it looks like you may have drawn them from life.

On the monster for example, try to imagine his arm as a series of cylinders, and then use this to guide your construction and drawing. The same applies to almost everything, try to imagine it as the basic shape first, it will help your drawings muchly.

[Jojomondag]

drew this yesterday, still practicing alot. Gonna start reading bridgman and loomis now! and do studys. Kungfowiz thx again its soo easy too forget all the essential stuffs ^^.
