Fredram's Sketchbook

**Fred Rambaud** · July 25th, 2009, 12:43 AM

Hi guys, been lurking for years now, and have found great inspiration around this threads.

I ' ve decided to open my sketchbook thread here as well. It will contain whatever I am working on during my spare time. Sketches, speeds, some more finished stuff as well. I consider my work to never be that rendered or finished so I feel it's more appropriate to post it in this section than in the finished section.

Hope you guys enjoy the visit

Heya there Fred!

I saw your works in the student gallery on the FZDSchool, great stuff

How is the school like? I made a thread in the School's board, maybe you could drop by and tell us how intensive the school is?

Aco : Thks !

Sirkenneth: thks, yea that pig has been successfull lately haha

Krato : Dude .... a collegue of mine showed me that image last week also ..... crap .... well it sucks when it happens but you get to see what cool similar stuff is done by other guys and you get to improve on that I guess.... thks for droping by anywayz!

Rabbi: Hey man, I 'll answer your question on the specific thread

Now no post without art right cuz else wtf so here are some wips, unfortunately I don't save my process often or i flatten everything and lose steps.

Anyhow here is an example of some basic steps while doing the pig character. Line, then watercolors in painter with some touch ups, very little, in photoshop, and there you go.
And a sketch of the environment from the first post.

And 2 sketches done at 3am because my nights are awesome lately with my fantastic neighboors who don't sleep and my two months old kid who wants to be like my neighboors ...

Thks for watching !

**ethan karnopp** · August 2nd, 2009, 11:10 AM

you're doing it right

dope. Now moreeee.

**Fred Rambaud** · August 2nd, 2009, 09:46 PM

ethan : thks man !

OYO : Merci camarade, l" autre sketch avec lady fox est pourri je le referai un de ces quatres.

Josh, Flakpost, Pyroclasm : Thks for visiting and glad you like !

Now some vehicles, and a WIP for one of them. Post ap, for these ones, one madmax feel and one modified tank.

For the WIP, I went in quiet randomly, a bit messy so I had a lot of effort to do in the clean up part. Better start clean for tech stuff.

Cheers and thks for stopping by.

**Jaro** · August 3rd, 2009, 03:25 AM

Hey, great job with the character designs Fred!

I love the uncoloured version of the pig character concept, you totally nailed the ink brush look. Everything else is fantastic too. Keep it up!

**zweiDee** · August 3rd, 2009, 05:39 AM

fantastic concepts! more pls!

**JARhead** · August 3rd, 2009, 05:53 AM

Holy crap! Yes. Bad ass start bro! keep it up! and Post more!

**Benjie** · August 3rd, 2009, 06:58 AM

ahh fak! how the hell do you paint with lines, nice work tho

**bigus_dickus** · August 3rd, 2009, 07:24 AM

nice work. loving the thumnail sketches.
The vehicles are awesome too. very creative.
Just to be honest, i dont think too much of these. The textured brushes look quite messy. Maybe try keeping them a little more cleaner. Other than that, great work. *thumbs-up

**Pixie Trick** · August 3rd, 2009, 07:58 AM

Wonderful work. Thank you for starting this sketchbook.

**luness** · August 5th, 2009, 11:36 AM

**adammelo** · August 21st, 2009, 05:23 PM

Very clean work, and very inspirational, keep it up. I like that sketch of your guy in the bottom right corner on the cliff, i hope too see it further developed...

Sketch me back if you'd like...

**Rolo** · August 21st, 2009, 06:01 PM

Hey! This is a great start! Great stuff here too!

I have a question:
For that first environment you posted a sketch you made of it.

Do you first sketch an environment and then put colours over it?
Or do you just jam a bunch of colours ontop of each other and it will eventually look like your original sketch?

I'm curious because many speedpainters don't have a digital sketch of sorts and just paint on.

Great stuff, keep it coming!

**DefiledVisions** · August 21st, 2009, 07:51 PM

Really great work! The character concepts in the beginning are really great. Especially like the Pig haha. Will be checking for more!

**Mayday** · August 22nd, 2009, 12:35 AM

your stuff is way excellent dude. i especially like the environment in the beginning. ppplzzzz keep posting.

**Nadiamoon** · August 22nd, 2009, 03:39 AM

wow, man. that is awesome what is going on in this sketchbook.

**Bill** · August 22nd, 2009, 03:53 AM

Really like the characters. S'all good, but the characters are my fave's. Glad you're posting.
