Pezzle's Necrosketchikon [November 2011 ]

[Pezz]

Just thought I'd get one of these started up... Just a bunch of pages from my Moleskine for now. Last one is an experiment with some of those Derwent Inktense pencils. Know a lot of it is exercises and just contour-ish doodles, but I promise I'll post some studies soon.

KLAATU... VERADA... ... Nectar... Nickel...

You know, I never knew you had this sketchbook going! I would have posted here much earlier.

Nice work I see you've done so far. I understand how you're busy with other things and haven't been able to post since November. Especially gearing up for art school, which I think you'll do very well at.

I do like your work. You're off to a great start!

[Pezz]

Here are some more sketches from my Moleskine. There are a few pages of planning perspective grids out in between these two pages but they're in light pencil and kind of worthless by themselves, it was the closest sketch paper I had to me in class at the time.

If you couldn't tell... I like Beholders. For some reason It's all I want to draw. So now instead of telling myself it's bad and nobody wants to see Beholders, fuck you brain, I'm drawing Beholders.

And as for the second page, I drew those on a bus from Trenton, NJ to Philadelphia, PA and man do I suck at drawing on buses. Was a good way to pass the time though. We went to see the Cezanne and Beyond exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and it was fantastic. After the exhibit showing, I stayed a lot in the Arms and Armor room, but I hadn't taken my sketchbook in, thinking they wouldnt let me bring things into the museum. I was wrong, and I will be taking another trip there to do some European Armor studies.

Interesting work so far post more!!!

This much can be said yes, but I am going through a phase where I've said fuck all for a few days and wanted to draw stupid crap. It makes me feel better in between my course work at school, lmao. All this darned non-objective assignment has me itching to draw silly things like beholders.

I'll be getting back into life drawing more in the summer. believe me. I'm re-taking the course for personal benefit.

[Pezz]

So I felt like drawing my hand last night (right page). I like the lighting that my boyfriends fluorescent reading light gives off. The shadow on the right of the hand is cast from my moleskine.

[vayne108]

That hand is not that bad, you just need to up the darks in the shading to define more form and structure. and you could thicken the line thickset in some places. You kind of started to it on the pinky finger.

[Pezz]

So here's another one from when I was awake at 2 AM. Doing some lion studies, mostly for a character I'm creating but they're beautiful creatures.

[Pezz]

Just got back from a charity hockey game that our sporting goods store sponsored. I brought my sketchbook and got some really quick n' sloppy gestures of the players. It was tough to capture anything, because if you've ever played or watched hockey you know that they stop and hold a position for maybe a maximum of 5 seconds, if you're lucky.

The refined sketches were from the bench or from the bored goalie that never seemed to have the puck enter his zone (it was a pretty one sided game lol).

[maldrin]

Howdy. The action sketching during the hockey game was a great idea, and you did really well with it. You got some pretty good gestures on those. Also, I like the nicely rendered hand - it's really good! And the beholders, yeah, those are good any time. You can never go wrong with beholders.

keep it up!

[Pezz]

Just two sketches, one from yesterday and one from today. The one from today was brainstorming the basis for my D&D Character. I have to add his Efreeti details now, though, as he is half!

I think I liked him better bald -shakes head- Drew him all hunched up on a hardwood floor, he he.

First pic is x-posted to my Lion Race thread in CCenter.

@maldrin: I agree. Nobody can EVER go wrong, ANYWHERE with Beholders. Unless you're fighting them, in which case it kind of sucks, but they're so cool. I want to play the Reverse Dungeon module or something like it where you can play AS Them.

I'll check your sketchbook out soon.

[Pezz]

Let's round her off for the evening with another lion study or two. Been working on my 40k figs, maybe I'll post them sometime.

[Eva K]

good studies and interesting designs you have here. Plus you have lions *love* ^^
Keep up the good work =)

[Pezz]

So another quickie from Wednesday night. I apologize for not updating more but I've been very busy trying to do other art projects + studying for finals + doing final speeches, so yeah that sucks. I have far more studio classes next semester, and will therefore have lots of painting and sculpting ness to show!

This is a 15 min Beholder from my imagination.

Also yeah the red is blood. I use an xacto to sharpen my pencils and as I was shoving a mechanical pencil back into its slot without looking I kind of stabbed my thumb. It still hurts and its kind of tingly where I punctured myself.

I ended up making the blood amusing eyestalk beams >.<

The beauty is in the eye of the beholder,..

the rest of the group is usually in it's stomach...

Great Lion studies

[SMILEFACE]

i really dig the lions an the southern style poses are great keep ROCK'N

[Sidharth Chaturvedi]

Nice work here Pezzle, and always great to see some studies going on. Love the lion character design . Also, hooray for Beholders, now I'm remembering Baldur's Gate fondly.

[Pezz]

Hey thanks Sidarth. I don't post in this enough; After DWIV I will.

[TASmith]

This goes without saying, but I just wanted you to know, you're much, much better than Chauncey, and your crit of his work was spot on. Post some more work in here, it'd be great to see what you working on now.

Now I'm doing a set of drawings for my Sifu (kung fu teacher) for our school t-shirts. I can post them in here since they are kind of boring for the WIP forum. Now that Dominance War IV has ended (well, I turned my stuff in amidst the Database Errors, heh) I can focus on many other things until the semester kicks up again. Wahoo!

[Pezz]

Not much interesting today. Some other sketches from my lion character and the rough brainstorms I'm doing for my hockey team's logo (Bristol Bandits). But it should be posted, anyway.

[Pezz]

Party's still split in D&D tonight, but my creativity is starting to take off on an absolute tear... and I'm embracing it. God how I missed it... welcome back, me. I did a bit of observational drawing and blind contour drawing though too many likenesses didn't come out right need practice! My drawing frequency and creativity kicks are starting to get to where they were before such terrible things befell me.. I've beaten you, jerkoff.

All done in my most favorite V5 Rollerball fine point pen, it glides across that nice creamy moleskine paper.

[Pezz]

So we have some eye studies I am doing as a part of the Molten Core workshop in the Community Activities forum. I was told to try more rendering my sketches and studies, so this is my attempt - and they were right. I am learning quite a bit more doing finer rendering.

Everything else is fairly loose and quick. My moleskine tends to be a place of quick thoughts that I just let flow out of my hand before they leave my head, so it seems... it's like playing word association with lines.

PS: 3rd loose sketch is one of my bigger ideas for the "Newborn" contest I was playing with and let evolve.

[Pezz]

Two more for you guys today... an Astral Dreadnought (Drawn from Manual of the Planes Cover) and a 30 min sketch I found from a life drawing class I had a year ago.

[Pezz]

Hopped a plane to Kentucky this weekend for a wedding reception and did quite a bit of drawing.

So now for you I have some terminals n' airplanes n' zombies, delicious zombies.

[NanoBlack]

Keep practicing!

In particular I really like the eyes, keep doing small, detailed sketches like that and your skill with skyrocket!

Apart from that, It's good to do a number of quick, loose sketches. Nice to see you experimenting with form, though I'd really like to see some colour in your work. Keep working as you are, and develop that talent.

[Kiera]

sweet! I looked in here earlier but the sketchbook always seemed so empty.. but now you filled it with sketchy goodness and I love it! The newest post is especially fun to look at, the zombies are very characteristic (the fat one is cool), the inside of the plane has a good sense of space, the sketch with the airport has a good overall composition and the quick gestures are accurate and I like the person on the toilet.. I could go on like this with your other posts but I leave it like that and say: post moar

Hey, thanks for the comments all! I am trying to draw and study a lot more in between doing miniature painting for others. I don't think my minis belong in my sketchbook, lol.

I'd like to work in color too, but I don't know just what I should use on the go for color, I'm simply terrible with and don't know how to control colored pencils. I'd like to learn and practice sometime, though. I'd REALLY like to take paints on the go, but I can't see myself mixing up washes on an airplane (especially since you can only have 3 oz of gel or liquid!)

The good part abou a sketchbook is that everything fits

I really like your eyes for molten core... and the zombies.. those are really funny

The aircraft looks like drawn with a wide angle, but I'm not sure how small are canadir cabins, so probably this is a quite accurate representation

Will you show the drawings for your Shi Fu? Looks like you're studying Wu Xing
