Fallen's SKETCHBOOK...lil update 29.4.13

[Fallenangel]

Wow actually went looking through some of my old SB pages and that was a study that i did a year ago and one from today..... both took me aprox. 1.5 - 2 hours...feel the difference....it only means that WE CAN GET BETTER!!!! ...

[Fallenangel]

As promised, trying to update as soon as i can...

[dimi]

Very cool sb!

[Fallenangel]

dimi Thank you

Last update for today...
3 portrait studies...each took me about 25 min.

[krysjez]

your hatching is wicked!

try defining the outlines of the eyes with less pressure? That first guy looks like he's wearing eyeliner.

[Fallenangel]

krysjez Thank you i'm just used to draw girls so thus the heavy outline...but i"ll try to not do it in the future...

Bethany K. Thank you

Hey guys, these past few days where really crappy for me....tried to make some sketches and studies and worked a bit more on the witchblade picture, any crits/suggestions on it will be much appreciated.

Alex.









last week version


todays version...any suggestions?

[Ramalooke]

Her left hand (our right) makes her pose a little stiff. You did nice job with the design of her roboarm I like it. Only this spike is to long perhaps. BTW. Sorry for my todays english, let's say that I'm not in the shape ;P

[Fallenangel]

Ramalooke Thanks

Ok...i dunno what is it but it's supposed to be my very first color attempt directly on the sketch (15-20 min) ....too tired and frustrated over some home problems....going to bed.

[Rustveld]

Your pencil work is amazing! Nice confident lines.
It seems to me that you have some difficulties when you draw faces in 3/4 view, sometimes you get it right but other times the side of the face isn't not wide enough.

Today's updated version looks better, especially the face. I would suggest adding more spikes on her left shoulder, right now the right side looks a little empty. Also maybe slim the lower part of her upper left leg and move it a little inward, maybe this will solve the stiffness problem.
Keep up the hard work!

Hey there,

Took me some time to go through all your posts, however I really enjoyed it and from now on I will look for any of your new posts. The improvement is visible from page 1. Do belive you need to stick to pencil + paper rather than PS or coloured, your sketching is great; like the level of detail in some of your drawings.

Only advice I can give is to try drawing things you normally belive you cannot, put characters in diferent situations, (like the comics you did).

Hope you have time to check out my SB, I'm sort of new around here...

all the best

[Ramalooke]

Is this a jet fighter in the background xD? Anyway values seems to be more less correct. Quite nice job for a 20 minutes draft.

[vatteh]

Hey man nice progress. I know you can see issues in your color palate, but you're getting there. Proportions are also a little off, but that too takes time. Good luck.

[towy]

cool work!, i like your style

[Fallenangel]

Rustveld Thank you i know about the 3/4 face problem it's just something that i can't get right, i'll try to work some more on the painting and show you the results.

dac Thanks, like i said in one of my posts here, at first i wanted to become a comicbook artist (and i still want) but these days i really want to learn painting cg/traditional.
I know about the stiffness of my characters i really should put some more effort in to it.

Ramalooke Yeap it's supposed to be some kind of space jet.... thanks

vatteh Thank you

towy Thanks i try

[Fallenangel]

Been working on this for few hours now and would really appreciate any comments on what i could change/improve....

[Fallenangel]

one more ....been trying to use my tablet as much as i can.... took me about an hour.

[LtPlissken]

Hey there buddy, nothing creative to say,
I am just passing by your house, I saw the tits on
the window, so I jumped in. As long as you are doing
naked big titted females, you are fine with me.
Your pencils are AWE-some, but I told you that
a few times before, and your digitals are improving.
The highlights on the females are making them look plastic lately,
but you will fix that for sure.
You are my hero.

[rupuni]

Wow, I love your pencil-sketches, they're so dynamic. Your Photoshopsketches look still a bit stiff you could try to make them more relaxed and fast :3

[Ludic]

Lovely studies and paintings, and i agree with Plissken that the highlights make them look a bit plastic, but love those highlights, looks great!

[julianR]

I like your pencil work and you are really good at anatomy.
just keep doing color studies.

[enthombed]

Wow, a lot of boobies heres, lol, nice drawings ans studies dude, I need to do more drawings.

Keep pushing

Cheers

[Ramalooke]

You are developing quite interesting style in your paintings. And you are definitely improving on this field. Gratz mate

[Fallenangel]

Bethany K. Thank you yeah i know about her boobs, it's just i didn't knew what kind of clothes/lingerie i want to do and i just got tired of thinking of that eventually...

enthombed Thank you

Here is something that i've started for this weeks chow....any suggestion???

[Fallenangel]

last update for today on the chow...

[LtPlissken]

Hot stuff pencils above.
I can feel the smell of smoldering graphite
in the soft moonlighted air.
Chow painting looking cool.
Push your light studies a bit, will
improve the reality of the paintings.

[Danny_K]

Great stuff dude, the color paintings are getting way better, the only thing o can say is just keep practicing as much as you can, finding inspiration is important too.
