DoubleThink's Sketchbook

[DoubleThink]

Hi,

I'm from Belgium & want to draw more, hence the sketchbook.
I started drawing seriously about a year and a half ago, when I signed up at college for my graphic design classes, sketching was one of them.

I'm 21 now and I would like to learn how to draw with the Wacom tablet, with which I had some fun this afternoon. Well... fun, it's a 20 euros tablet, so it's not worth much, but I try

[DoubleThink]

Here's some older stuff

Master study of a hawfinch, original was by Carl Brenders, who is argueably the best nature painter in the world... :p

Don't have a picture of the original, but I wasn't that far off... (80 hours approx)

Part of being a graphic designer is begin able to work with markers & reproduce fast images of how stuff's going to look like.
Here's my take on parts of a skatepark, promoting a new shoe by Globe.







I'll try & add some figure studies when my scanner's been fixed.

some life studies.
I've been trying to copy Mentler's way of working. dunno, probably shouldn't keep doing that as it's not looking that great <_<

Here's an update

a combination of doodles, 30 sec studies & some random studies.

Oi, A majority of ur art is hard to read. Your colors seem to be really blurry and your not quite sure how to work with it. A good way to get learn photoshop is to look at the digital painting thread, http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=107217. Also your stuff tends to be flat, I suggest that you draw objects from life, that will give you a better understanding of form.

Keep it up,

small update.
I'm busy, but I'm still sketching

Here's some scribbles from the train & some studies.

Feel free to leave some critique

[DoubleThink]

small update, I did more this week, but I don't have the time to scan & upload all of them.

[DoubleThink]

what goes on in my mind

[DoubleThink]

Today was a good day for sketching, a bad one for studying.
I'm loving the poses/faces page if I say so myself :p

[DoubleThink]

some more scribbles
not too pleased about these :/

[DoubleThink]

Some older stuff, all of it was for school projects.
I hated doing the buildings.

[DoubleThink]

some good, some bad, as usual.
I'm longing for the day they're all good :p

[Carbono]

Nice practices, good to see that you're practicing all ranges of stuff, anatomy, faces, etc...
Keep it up!!

[DoubleThink]

some more scribbles.
They help me relax.
I'll do some more extensive ones once my exams are over.

[DoubleThink]

I took a small vacation & it shows. :p

[DoubleThink]

quite rough, but I like it this way.
This was the last page of my sketchbook, I'll have to go buy a new one

[DoubleThink]

Getting my wacom tomorrow, finally!

here's some scribbles from on the train.






Looks like I'm not all that good at drawing from imagination :/
Any tips there anyone?

[DoubleThink]

got my wacom

this was my test run.
I'm very pleased about my new tablet :p

[DoubleThink]

Little rough around the edges.

[DoubleThink]

This one's better

It's a draw-over of an eye I did a few posts back.

[DoubleThink]

a cup & quite possibly, my first concept thingy yet.

It's a sort of bee-nymph
Her wings are leafs.
I'll make a colored & edited version later on.

[DoubleThink]

First one from reference.



It's a zebra finch in case anyone's wondering.

Took me about 40 minutes

[DoubleThink]

Fucking horse, rushed it & couldn't get it right. <_<

[DoubleThink]

Fairly fast SP

Trying to get a feel for these brushes

[DoubleThink]

I've screwed up a lot this afternoon.
Though I've learned quite a bit, so it's not all bad.

I feel sorry for what I did to the girl.





Guess I need to work on my portraits?

[DoubleThink]

like the hand better than the face...
