why hai there,
I'm lav, a student from belgium. In my spare time i'd like to keep drawing, i'm still novice atm but i enjoy doing it.
I will post doodles and projects in this sketchbook and hopefully update it quite frequantly. Feedback is always welcome, i'd like to learn from my mistakes and get better.

Anyways, go to last page please, don't need to see all this jibberish!

edit: i moved all previous work to my second post

Anywho, I have to say, I've seen your drawings (in rl too offcourse -still remember the drawings of the Aztec Warrior ^^ really liked it the first time I saw it) and I have to say that you show some nice potential to make something out of your drawings here

Keep sketching, producing a lot of work - Dirk will make sure of that :p - and offcourse, keep posting here ^^

such a shame

**Lav** · November 6th, 2008, 06:00 PM

i don't miss the effort, there's just not enough days in a week, i'm working on it tho

**Lav** · December 16th, 2008, 10:44 AM

small update, the first two are characters from a game in flash i'm making atm

**Lav** · May 12th, 2009, 05:44 PM

whoops, bout time to update this
some of these are bit older sketches, others i've used in interactive/animated flash projects

**Lav** · July 2nd, 2009, 12:38 PM

it's been a while since i really continued my anatomy studies and it really shows when i try to draw something again so i've been trying to catch it up a little bit again, here's an update

**Lyno** · July 2nd, 2009, 02:31 PM

Hey Lav, that's some cool stuff, the only thing I can suggest is that you do even more studies

but it's a really nice start.
I'll check back later when you have an update to try to give some crits

**Sublimus** · July 3rd, 2009, 09:13 AM

Nice studies so far.

No crits yet, just saying hi!

**Lav** · July 3rd, 2009, 03:50 PM

thanks for stopping by

a small update

**NanoBlack** · July 6th, 2009, 08:42 AM

Hi! Just dropping by.

Nice studies, keep practicing the human figure. You're really getting there, proportions look fine. I've always found muscles and bone structure to be my downfall, and they really matter if you need to exaggerate proportions for one reason or another.

Keep working, I wanna see more finished pieces!

**gnarl** · July 7th, 2009, 08:46 AM

Ello there. Skeletal studies look nice and smooth, liking those. Especially that profile of the skull.

**Sublimus** · July 8th, 2009, 08:32 AM

Hey lav!

A note on the skull girl: Don't forget that the eyes are small spheres inside of the skull. You've rendered the eyelid area as one flat shape, and does no justice the the real 3d shape of the eye. Since it is all in shadow at that point, it wont be too extreme, but you should at least suggest that those forms are there.

Otherwise keep up the good work dude! The other skull drawing is spot on!

its a girl... :p

**Sublimus** · July 9th, 2009, 05:58 PM

Yeah, I meant the side view in post #9. Should have been more specific! :0

**Lav** · July 11th, 2009, 09:01 AM

I think grafguy means that i'm a girl so not a dude

But thanks for the comments, been away the last few days and have a lot of programming work to do as well but i'll try to keep updating as much as i can, stay tuned

**Sublimus** · July 11th, 2009, 10:35 AM

A GIRL!? On the INTERNET!?

IMPOSSIBLE!

**NanoBlack** · July 11th, 2009, 05:17 PM

WOHO!

we should form a girl's only SSG!

.... naaaaaa, jk.

**Lyno** · July 14th, 2009, 07:15 AM

Good decision on that last one

Some really cool forms, I like the first one the most. If you want to give yourself another "challenge", try to design a skull that hasn't a aggressive look.

**Sublimus** · July 14th, 2009, 09:54 AM

Hey, alright! Goo choice, my friend, those tumbnails are a TON more interesting to the eye than you original. You might want to look up some animal skulls and see what those look like for some inspiration/study.

And one note on your drawing that you won't finish (to keep in mind for the next one) - she's suffering from a case of 'football eyes' (american football that is). Eyes don't really look like that shape at all, they have much more elegant, subtle curves. Try and sneak in a study or two of them before your next shot at the skull girl!

Keep fighting the good fight, ma' lady!

**NanoBlack** · July 14th, 2009, 11:43 PM

I like the thumbnails, simple and in profile but it shows your creativity a lot more. After you've worked with a few, then go ahead and do some roughs.

Hey, I'd have a few of these if they came out randomly online!

**Grafguy** · July 17th, 2009, 07:30 PM

stopt me conan en begin te tekenen!!!!!!

**Lav** · July 22nd, 2009, 07:21 AM

yes sir! Sorry i haven't been updating for a week, also getting a new comp soon but will be working more to keep up again.
I've been trying to do some 30 second drawings, here are some of them, still need to practice it a lot tho

and my enw idea for the portrait with skull, i'm gonna turn the skull "hat" into more of a "mask". Here's the portrait, feel free to feedback the anatomy and stuff, still gonna work on some ideas for the mask.
Making a skull less aggresive isn't easy, but i'll try to experiment with it

**Lyno** · July 22nd, 2009, 05:47 PM

Heey Lav, some proportions issues in the figures, but with more practice these will go away, so just keep going. About the face, I think you want to let her look somewhat upward? The ear is drew at the right place then, but then you have to draw the bottom of the chin too. Otherwise, you have to lift the ear.

And give the dog an eye

.

**Grafguy** · July 22nd, 2009, 06:27 PM

the meaning of those 30" poses is to capture the pose quickly is simple flowing lines, it traines your lineflow and your knowledge of the overall proprtions, do such 2x 5 Minutes each day and in a week you'll notice your skills have gone through the roof!

**Lav** · July 27th, 2009, 05:27 PM

yeah lyno you're right, i still need to define the bottom of the chin
This is a different project i'm working on (school project that had to be about yourself and uniqueness and etc), it's a bit difficult to explain what the idea is, but i'll try.
It'll be a flash application and when you get your mouse over certain parts (for example the eyes) a small animation will begin with explanations (for example poor eyesight, then an animation of damaged eyes).
I cant really explain the style i'm trying the use so it's difficult to try and define the best background for it, but here's the WIP so far

**Sublimus** · July 29th, 2009, 08:25 PM

Sounds cool! Can't wait to see a working version!

**Lav** · July 30th, 2009, 11:27 AM

i really need to start doing a lot more of thosse 30 second drawings, small update
