@Lyno: guilty as charged, your honor i squeezed the legs Glad you can see i thought more about the lines, i really did.

[Incinerated]

Du er virkelig produktiv, den sidste update er fantastisk.
der er knap så mange croquis sessions i Århus, som på svensker øen, desværre . Men det er selvfølgelig et kig vær.

[Flaskpost]

the Appaloosa ones are awesome. great values! keep the studies up!

[dierat]

Great work in here! I really like the last page of figure studies in your most recent post. Keep up the good work!

[Jonas_J]

@Incinerated: Helt sikkert et kig vær!
@Flaskpost: Thanks
@dierat: really like kevin wueste aswell, that guy is awesome.

life drawing stuff. two steps backwards.

[AztcFireFlower]

Great studies. Kevin Chen is amazing. I learned an incredible amount in his class. Stuff that will NEVER leave me.
Kev Wueste does have some beautiful figures.
Feet seem annoying at first until you get the proportions of them. If you think of it as a wedge, much easier to cut into it to shape into a foot. If you have access to K. Chen's demo's there should be notes attached to the drawings. Check those out. There is much in his simple explanations.

To answer your question, I use charcoal pencils that I sharpen to a point. I practice on smooth newsprint. Charcoal allows you to paint with the pencil because the media is darker, flatter & ,I think, softer than graphite. Thanks for visiting my SB. Keep on drawing.

[drd]

Awesome work, great figure practice; I should do more of those...

Thanks for posting in my SB!

[Lyno]

Cool man, did you already try to draw on bigger paper then A4, you'll really have the chance to let your lines flow . You should try it .

[Jonas_J]

@AztcFireFlower: Thanks! i'll check out kchens demo's about feet asap and thanks for letting me in on what materials your using, much appreciated
@drd: Thanks! and your welcome!
@Lyno: I work on paper that is high like A4 and wide as A4 is high (if you know what i mean ...). Instead of squeezing in 3 figures on a page, i'll try and do the longer poses on one piece of paper each. Thanks for pointing this out! definitely going to try this out at life drawing tomorrow

Batch:
- Kevin Wueste studies
- Bridgeman
- character
- ilja repin study
- Nancy Guzik- Erica Study
- Nazi officer character (inspired by tf2 concept art)

[Lyno]

That Nazi officer character is just great man, strong pose, nice colours, sharp edges(love those ) face is looking great too, I would scale his eye a little more though .

Cool .

[Cacodaemonia]

I have no idea why I wasn't subscribed to your sb before... Anyway, you've got a lot of great sketches and studies here. Keep it up!

[kingkostas]

wow mate this last soldier is great!!!I like the rendering.When i stare in the arm for some more time, i get a strange feeling.Maybe needs some checking
Great , keep up

[p sage]

der er knap så

Agreed!

selvfølgelig

Fascinating

The Bridgman stuff is good; looks like you also do a lot of life drawing... but peh. The models? You need some more athletic models from time to time

Draw and draw more. I think the answer to your statement "Braintree learns how to draw (and paint)!" is yes!

and now "selvfølgelig" is my new favorite word

[Minne Danhieux]

i stumbled on your sketchbook trhu my frien lyno's his SB. Nice things you got going.

Your livedrawings are nice 2.

some of the movie value studies are realy livelike!

keep it up!

Edit: the last army dude is awesome... good focus on the characterhead he has!

[Jonas_J]

@Lyno: Thanks I'll correct the eyes and make them abit larger.
@Cacodaemonia: hey my first subscription! Thanks!
@kingkostas: hmm yea the "arms behind back isn't really reading too easily. will take a look at that.
@p sage: selvfølgelig! we've only had female models so far ... i can't complain
@jocky: Thanks! I'll keep at it!

Life drawing session. A few of these im actually pleased with. A few.
Also a kchen study using charcoal. Pretty sweet medium, going to work with it.

[towy]

hard work on here! ; it's really interesting, continue your work in anatomy that begin serious ; ) (just for me the heads often too little and so long neck but depend of the model too, keep the concentration anyway )

[007-r0b3r7]

love your stuff man! great studies and shading. looks like you're doing a lot to progress.
are you in art school or taking separate classes?
awesome job, keep it up!

The Nazi officer character came out really nice. He seems like a person to really take command of an army. One comment is his feet seem bit long and exaggerated.

I think all your gray scale studies have been paying off.

[Jonas_J]

@towy: Thanks for the crit! yes i have a tendency to make the necks too long (or too short).
@007-r0b3r7: Im in university, but nothing art related, and im not taking any classes besides CA's live streaming classes
@Pigeonkill: Thanks! yup they definitely are, will take that into account.

- 2 pages of train sketches
- charcoal MMa study
- 2 pencil studies of buildings from LOTR
- character, i have changed some things about him digitally based on crit from my last character.

[Sirkenneth]

Wow! I havent been by here in a while! Its looking REALLY good. Way to keep up on those life drawings. Those are working well, but I would try to use darker and lighter lines to help hold the gesture and weight of those pose. Digis are nice too- you are doing it all right! Keep it up man!

[yochanan]

Det ser rigtig godt ud! Især den tredje sidste tegning er helt i top og kan også godt lide de to tegninger af fæstningen. Og kan være jeg sent på den, men ham nazi officeren er rigtig nice lavet! Mange detaljer med uden at det virker kompliceret. Ellers har jeg ikke så meget at sige desværre! Keep it up.

[Cacodaemonia]

Nice job with the life sketches, and the boxing one is very well done.

The first LOTR sketch is kind of bothering me because the shapes in the foreground are so much lighter than the gate in the middle ground. I'm sure that's how they were in the screen shot, but done in pencil like this, it makes the image seem really flat.

[towy]

your scene really nice too, you can do one comic book easy i think :]

[tokotewhero]

lovin the dedication to those studies man. especially lovin the digi ones. dont forget to keep that pencil sharp tho eh. hehe

[Lyno]

Hi Braintree , nice pencils! Train sketches are looking good too .

[Jonas_J]

@Sirkenneth: Thanks i'll write that to my "do this" list.
@yochanan: Tak skal du have!
@Cacodaemonia: Actually they were darker in the screenshot, so i guess you caught me in being lazy will not happen again.
@towy: In a few years perhaps, after attending CA atelier Thanks anyway though.
@tokotewhero: Hah i'll remember that thanks!
@Lyno: Yup im sketching on the train now
