Fallen's SKETCHBOOK...lil update 29.4.13

[Creusa]

Ты бы всех нагнул в моей школе комиксов Х)
Смотря на одноклассников, скажу что лучше изучать живопись (то есть анатомия/академ/все дела - с планшетом это можно себе позволить). Без этого комиксы - кусок какашки.

העבודה שלך מאוד נחמדה. החזק למעלה העבודה הטובה!

[in2eternity]

Wow, update with comics pages is gorgeus! Is it your personal work or some sort of comission?

[Danny_K]

I would suggest not uploading from any external resources just because of the fact that in the future websites change and close but as long as CA.ORG will be on your files will be safe and our sketchbook wont turn into a broken linkage waste land.
Try to work on gesture and posing.

And I would have one request. Please link your sketchbook to the newest page. It's quite annoying when I always have manually get to the newest piece. Cheers

[Fallenangel]

Ramalooke Thank you, changed the link thing too

Ludic hhh...thanks

Marlo Thanks

Creusa Thanks..hhh..mozet ya i pereyedu k tebe

Aryeh תודה

in2eternity Thanks, it's just something that i did for a monthly "fight" over penciljack.com

Danny_K Thanks mate i just hate to use the CA attachment systems.

Here is stuff from past few days:

[Liberty]

Hey fallen, amazing stuff, i like your lines in particular. See ya.

[Ramalooke]

Great perspective on the last piece (this one with flying lady). You could make here pose a little bit loose, more dynamic. It should be a dynamic scene, you know a jet fighter is a fast piece of shit . So maybe give her pose based on more curved gesture (i did a small over painting to show you what I mean). Also you need to decide how to guide a viewer eye. Now your composition seems to be a little distracting. I mean, I don't know what is a main subject. This girl or the plain perhaps. This thunder seems to put main focus on the female, but in other hand jet is taking big fragment of the pic. Well, that's all of my complaining, hope you find something helpful here. Your other studies are very nice, as always . Especially pencils. Keep posting mate, cheers

[Fallenangel]

Liberty Thank you

Ramalooke Thanks mate, actually all the confusion about it is because i never planned it to be a full painting all i wanted to do at the first versions was to make a 1.5-2 hour sketch of a girl that's flying, after that i tried to put there a plane cause i wanted to draw one and didn't want to start a new pic for it.
So in the end i'm stuck with a sexy falling gal (she's supposed to fall from the sky now) and a weird jet sketch.
Anyways thanks for the effort with those overpaints it just teaches that one should plan your paintings and drawings.

here are the stuff from the past two days.
pencil studies...

painted studies:
a photo and a "real life" study

[Danny_K]

very nice heads! I'm jealous

[Creusa]

Лайф такой аккуратный г_г Там сколько слоев было? Ровные линии от руки? о.о

[n1frit]

Даааа чувак! Ты не перестаешь меня удивлять! Мне до твоего карандашного рисунка как до Луны! Да и лайфы тоже оличные! Такими темпами тебе грозит becom a great artist) Буть осторожен!!)))

[Ramalooke]

Well I have nothin' much to say. Decent update man. You could sketch your figures in more dynamic poses, cuz I think that they are a little to stiff in your pieces. Keep practicing!

[Fallenangel]

Danny_K thanks mate

Creusa spasibo, vsego tri sloya a linii nekotorie ot ruki a kogda bilo osobo ne udubno s pomoshyu pryamoy linii v paintere.

n1frit spasibo

Ramalooke thanks mate, i gotta do some more gestures too.

here is a different take on the falling gal wip and a doodle from today, i'm just trying to make some kind of a style/process that i will be comfortable with.

[Ramalooke]

Cool effect on the hairs ;3 u used a selection tool to get those hard edges between values? About the WIP. You need to make her look at this guy, it's strange feeling when I see her looking at me while she reaches out toward this guy. It's almost like she's a some sort telepath and she knows where he is without looking at him. And you need to fix this dude arms. Right now it looks like a sleeves with muscle pattern. I hope my crits don't annoy you in any way, keep working

[teapo]

good job on reiterating the falling girl paint. i think this composition works better as opposed to the one with the vehicle. and omg... those metal renderings on the studies are fking good! D:

[surus]

rolling, rolling... Keep on posting! Try some sideviews and aboves instead of all the chocolate photographer angles from the front!

e.g.:

and some of the following cast sculptures to train other angles:

[Danny_K]

its always good to plan your painting from the initial Thumb/composition and go from there then to add environment as the last thing, just as I learned on my last painting.
The guy looks better then the jet though

Today's live crap

[Fallenangel]

Ramalooke hmmm..never thought of the telepath look...gotta do something about it, the guy is actually was supposed to be some kind of a weird alien creature so gotta work on him too.
Thanks mate

teapo

surusI will thank you

Danny_K Thanks mate

stuff from today...

a doodle inspired by Bisley and a study, gotta do some more pencil studies tomorrow.

[Fallenangel]

Just summerising July's work....wow crap.

[MoKhi]

Wow! Everything in here is looking great. I love how your cg style is shaping up, and the line weight you use on your figures.

Have you ever tried laying a quick texture over a digital painting? It can help things look less wet and hard. I love that first image in post 648. I hope August is just as productive for you.

[Liberty]

Hay Alex, thats just mad amount of work.
Sometimes maxilla and mandible on your faces look just wierd, Im not sure, like its not in harmony with the rest of the face. I would like to hear your thought on that. Cheers

[fudgeloaf]

Hey great progress this month you really worked your ass off! keep it up!

[Creusa]

Мила мега чоткая!
А бабенью с сиськами я комментить не буду, ещё не дотянула до такого madness lvl! *_*

[dan liimatta]

The muscular guy digital study is scary

That out of the way I really like your summary post - a very productive month and some of these studies are just damn sexy - & love the Mila one in the latest update before the summary.

but also all the lines, especially the smiles ~

[in2eternity]

All updates are soooo beautiful! Have no crits, just wait for more new stuff!!!

[Ludic]
