My Sketchbook or: How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Draw!

[Mila]

Thanks for the kind words on my sketchbook Rotor. Nice updates

[n1frit]

Wow your pencil graphic is totaly mad! You should connect it some how with the digital stuff, it looks not so rich as pencil. But any way great works, thanks for sharing and inspire!

[Ghast]

Your pencil sketches are great theres a lot of confidence to the lines (especially on the warhammer ones...nothing says patience like chaos marines haha). Looking forward to the outcome of the Xenomorph piece. I know its a little late, but the piece might have a better sense of interaction if the alien was looking at the source of the light. He's a ruthless predator and having a feeling of tensity by the possibility of an impending attack would have been cool. Either way the Xeno looks sweet

[Rotor]

Mila: Thanks for stopping by!
n1frit: Thanks! Yeah I kinda get what you mean, my digital stuff is not that expressive. It is propably because I tend to overwork things and focusing in parts.
Ghast: Never too late my friend. Like I typed earlier, the white line is a suggestion for the direction of the jaw. Maybe it's just not clear enough but it's there for memory's sake.

Here's something. Guess who my hero is.
Thanks for looking.

[Rotor]

Oh yeah forgot these. Been watching Spartacus.

[kingkostas]

Lets keep up mate!!!

[~KJK~]

yaaaaaay rotor in his habitat! lovely!

[Rotor]

kingkostas: Yo! Thanks alot mate. It is time for a gear shift.
~KJK~: It's called a comfort zone for a reason! Thanks mate, much appreciated.

I'm going to show you guys some stuff now.
This is basically me relaxing and doing things on my free time as I'm dead busy (but rightly so!) with school stuff.

My biomechanoid as it stands currently.


Alien piece. I think this is a good starting point for fleshing it out.


The devil chick. I have no idea where to go with this one.
Maybe give it some time and get back to it with fresh eyes.
Need to establish a stronger structure for the image, it lacks solidness.


I just noticed how the composition is very similar if not exactly the same in all the images.
I need to get that sorted aswell.

Oh and shitty phone cam pics of life drawing class.


Thanks for looking.

looking really good Rotor!! awesome updates man! those Giger pieces look sweeet!!! keep em coming man!!

[Rotor]

NickyBeats: Thanks man!

Taking this further. I like the dude's pose but the alien could look more aggressive.
Thanks for looking.

[Mila]

Space jockey! Sweet. I like how you blurred out most of the image.

Your last piece could be more dynamic. I can't help but think the alien just turned around to look at someone calling it's name. Instead, I believe the alien should make itself really big to impose the person, or defend itself by bending it's body like a coil, ready to POUNCE! I hope you understand what I mean Keep up the good work.

[Inkthyosaur]

Love the space jockey.

In your alien encounter, where's the alien's tail at? I feel like that thing whipping about could give it a bit more dynamism.

[Rotor]

Mila: I agree with the dynamism. The pose will need to have some rework.
Inkthyosaur: I'm still undecided with the tail, it could be a nice element to move the eye around. I'll see what I can do.

I took some time to view this on different monitors and it was way too dark. Lots of stuff to do.
Thanks for looking.

Oh yeah while you're at it, check the Finconauts thing in my sig, we now have a group SB with some mates to kick eachother's asses.

[Spudonkey]

MAN I LOVE YOUR PENCILS!
*calms self*
I need to start being stricter with myself with my work...

alien piece is killer also

[Rotor]

Thanks man!
Here's a small update and self portrait from sunday. Very busy lately.
Thanks for looking.

[NeonPoweredFirefly]

Really cool SB!

[kingkostas]

yooooo markus, here my thoughts!!! Sorry for the words being small, i did a fool thing at the end and shrinked them with everything else.
Lets keep up!!!

[Rotor]

Aaah Kostas!
I got another good critique for the same piece and worked it out based on that. This is excellent information mate, thank you very much!
Here's how it looks like. I will consider the value overlapping in the next piece for sure.

[kingkostas]

looks nice mate!!! haha no problem, keep up strong!!!
