Sketchbook 2011-!!!2011 HERE we go (page 91 COLOSSAL UPDATE) :) --->

[Nadesican]

Looking good, man! A word about your last post though. The highlight for the bottom of the jaw, in comparison to the actual movie clip you referanced, is actually set a bit too low. The arm (camera left) also seems a little less massive then it should be. It is perhaps too short, or thin?

[Biomecha_wolf]

Ya gotta be freaking me man with the last one!!!

O_o

Only one word: AWESOME !!!!!!!

I really liked the ref from that trailer and how you transformed to your own "twisted" fantasy

Although i must agree with the guy who told you that you put too much green light, but anyways, this character is in a kinda professional level.
Keep up the good work and post more!!!!!!!!

[kingkostas]

Royzy-Thank you royzy !!!
paperX-Thnx man!!!I am back now with the new pc.At least now i can use photoshop very well.Its the first time i go in 100% zoom and watching the whole paper. (from 14" went to 19" )total difference and from 768 MB ram to 2 GB

Nadesican-Thnx thnx for the points !!!The more points the more research !!!
Biomecha_wolf-Thnx kab !!!I think it was just a result from my old screen but anyway i will still have to take care of saturation !!!!

Ok now i am back.Unfortunately i was unlucky with the PC order and it made me wait another whole week before coming back at home.But now i am back with the new pc and soon i will also order a tablet.
The screen is awesome 19" i am gonna cry.It not even make my eyes hurt.The pc is fast and i run the photoshop without stucking from low memory !!!!No words anyway.
Now the fact that i was away from home hadnt made me to stay lazy without working my skills.
So now i came back with a colossal update to pay back the missing time !!!!!!!!!

Thank you all for the continuous support!!!!You are my power

[Ahim]

Holy shit dude you been busy, good stuff! I wondered where you were.

These characters are so good, I love all the lines, they kick ass, damn I need to loosen mine up!

Awesome update :-) Nice you got a new computer, always good fun!!

I have a wacom bamboo fun if u want it! its A5 and hardly used, sell it dirt cheap if ya interested. I got an intuos cos I get student discount, I had only the bamboo a short while!

[donalfall]

Great studies and creatures! That's a fine sized upload alright. Good work.

[kingkostas]

Ahim-Thnx for this very encouraging comment mate!!!
AlexTooth-Thnx alex!!! Ahh dont worry i will just find a good e-shop near me and i will order the bamboo fun as soon as possible.
donalfall-Thank you very much !!!

Ok the bad thing is that the University started again and i have tons of excersizes for the classes.This will keep me more busy.But dont worry, because i will try to post as often as i do !!!!

Sorry for this quick(ok not speed but quick) but i came to home late and just did some of this(the base is from a quick doodle from the previous post, you will see it)I was bored to finish it and you will see some lazy strokes hahahaha

Anyway thank you all for the support!!!!Btw some more thnx to the people who added positive voting .I am now back to 4 stars.That only makes me keep up!!!

(i did it in WIP style )so that maybe i can help someone)

[kingkostas]

some quick pose and head.
Got to go to the university now.
See ya later

[Diverse]

This is great update man. Maybe try drawing more costumes on figures.

[kingkostas]

Sorry for the quality of the last coming works.My schedule is full now pff,always happens when uni starts again.I did some quick pose warming(put i will not upload them) and i will upload a rendering study(quick) on one of the previous sketchies.
Need to get my beat again.
Thnx for the support!!!and sorry for tiny and less quality

[kingkostas]

Pfff damn busy with uni.
I found some time to make some things.
Torso rendering studies(quick no ref) + (life rendering study, on my desk, unfinished W.I.P) will find the time to make the finished

see ya all

[AlexTooth]

Nice lamp man, looks realistic =) I agree Uni is a killer, I am almost on Easter holiday already though, so I can draw more!

Thanks for my comments man, you rule!

[kingkostas]

AlexTooth-Thank you very much alex !!!Yep uni, but anyway we have to keep trying.

They loaded us with tons of assingments both sculpture,drawing,woodcut.
But i will try to do as much as time allow me.

See ya all and thnx for support

(first a speed mouse character full digital, and second a quite quick character creation with pencil and some inking )

[merl1n]

hello, thanks for commenting my sb again!!!

I went through your sb and I must say that you have obviously improved a lot since you began. Keep it up, tons of sketches and practices are paying off!!!

cheers!

[Jakers]

Woah that update when you just got your computer was HUGE....did you do a whole lot of drawing while waiting for it to come? nice work!

Its good to see progress shots as you work on a piece, though with the last character I think you posted too many that didnt have a lot of change in them. not a terrible thing but some arent necessary.

Anyways you've still got pretty good proportions overall and its great to hear about the things you are learning in school, I hope to see some of the results of having other people guide what you do creatively

[~KJK~]

Hey, great updates man! It seems that youve been very busy with your pencils Maybe i should do some myself

[kingkostas]

merl1n-Thank you merlin !!!
Jakers-Yeah i did a lot of work, thanks mate!! .Now i draw less due to uni assigments, and they are really many.Ahh btw no guides , all written in their balls.Only one two professors were that nice(which means they loved their work as teachers) to guide in some things.But now they will sent the one away while the other is busy with some other things.Anyway, i keep doing the research by myself and conceptart.org
NoodleDoodle-Thnx noodle

guys really sorry for not uploading very often.Is just so many assigments that i need to finish within hard deadlines, pfff.
Anyway i will upload soon
see ya

[kingkostas]

Ok here the update.Tiny but more than nothing in this busy time
see ya all

[amianna]

Your sketchbook makes me feel like I havent been drawing nearly enough at all...Thank you for sharing Sometimes I have no belief in myself that I can ever get as good as people lke you but I have to try anyhow

[Josef K.]

whoa lots of work! love your quick characters - very vivid and great sense of form and anatomy! keep rockin mate!

[Janos]

Nice sketches. The no reference poses still feel a little "wrong" but its a very nice way to get better.

Cheers

[Biomecha_wolf]

Your sketcbook man reminds as all one rule....

You just inspire us

btw on that lamp (your lamp? ) i could really feel the metal base and that is really goooooood!!!

Well i post only to reply and to excuse my self for not uploading that much.Its because i also got a comic book work and i need to spend a lot time making the comic pages, and ofcourse university.Anyway dont worry as i will may hit some massive uploads after some tinys

see ya all and thnx for the support !!!
(i will check your SBs soon)

[the ANGRY filipino]

I love how you do a ton of pencil sketch studies! very inspiring and motivating for the rest of us!

[Giorge]

haha , fun , you are getting the hang of it , do more !

[AlexTooth]

nice non reffed work a usual dude - man i want to draw faces without ref! be such an awesome skill, one day

It's nice you're busy with work - that's more important than uploads, just don't keep us waiting too long!!

[kingkostas]

the ANGRY filipino-Thanx mate !!!
flamable-Thnx flam !!!
AlexTooth-Busy very busy, but mate look the quality now, its so bad cause my mood is again back to -0 pff.Thnx anyway !!!

Ok i cant pretend i am happy.It seems i pass the bad phaze again but i hope things will be better after easter holidays.I will also order the tablet soon(i havent already order it cause i am thinking about getting intuos cause i heard that bamboo is not good for getting pro usage) so i will use the money i get from the comic book to invest it on the tablet

Sorry for the quality of work (and the low level) but keep in mind that i will try hard cause things are getting harder and harder for my future.I will have to reach a certain point very soon and that pushes me more and more.
Anyway see ya all and thnx for the great support even if i dont upload that much...

nothing from ref as usual

[kingkostas]

One more before going to bed.
see ya
(getting some experience from refs)better than nothing

[the ANGRY filipino]
