learning to fly

[canti]

Hello everyone!
I'm visiting this site for a long time now (add a year or so to my registration date) and I always wanted to open a sketchbook but, well...never had the guts to do so.
Im 21, currently studying virtual design and heck, i need to improve.

for the first two girls i used fotos as reference, the speaker is from live as well as the sitting guy and the pensketches. The last girl is from imagination.

[Rushlord]

Well looks like I have to be the first to comment here. It's a shame. Makes me want to kill myself...I really don't hate the speaker. It's not bad to see some new stuff here :|. You should post some more pages from your sketchbook.

[canti]

hello again. The nude girl is a colorstudy from photo, the rest is from life.

hey canti.. great stuff! try to use longer and wider brush strokes / pencil strokes... will give a more calm and focused impression to your stuff i think.. some of the lines are a bit 'all over the place' .. but i really like that blue sketch keep posting please

[canti]

Thanks alot for the helpful advice. I will try that.

[Rushlord]

I really don't dislike your naked girl and the linedrawings are pretty not bad as well

[canti]

Not much at the moment. Had a lot of stuff to do for university.
First one are facepractices from imagination. Man, i suck at lines. I cannot draw in Photoshop -.-". Pensketches are from life, for the horse i did use a photo.

[Rushlord]

Hey that's pretty not ugly. I don't dislike the horse the most. Keep it up.

Good Work!

[Rushlord]

Update please

[Kfeeras]

sindn paar gute sachen dabei!! Weiter so. Wo studierst du??

[canti]

@sandeepbarot: Thank you!

@Kfeeras: Thanks. Ich studier an der FH Kaiserslautern.


At the moment i feel like i'm getting nothing done. Somehow everything turns out quite shitty. One big problem i have is seeing/feeling things three-dimensional or x-rayish. I have no idea where the hidden lines have to be...
Does someone have an idea how to get a grip on that? Maybe i`ll have a look at yoitisis island again.

First two are a mix of stuff from imagination, Kchens demos and posemaniac. 3. is from imagination and last one is just a quick colorstudy.

Not bad, great work on the human figure, can't see anything to really criticize.

[Rushlord]

I think you just have to practice three dimensional drawing a lot more. Maybe start with boxes and gridlines and stuff like that. If it doesn't come naturally practice is the only thing that helps. At least that's what I'm thinking

[canti]

Thank you, guys.

[Janos]

The colours you use are great. Anatomy is looking good, too. A little stiff though.

Cheers

[Rushlord]

How did you do the second digital painting. Looks awesome.

[canti]

@Janos: Thanks. Yeah, i agree about the stiffness.

@Rushlord: Just painted the puncher i have next to me on my desk. Done in Painter X. Everything in oils except the sparkle, that was charcoal i think.

[canti]

First two are from imagination, the third was done in Ubuntu using the Gimp. Which was quite a pain in the ass, not because of Gimp but because of the horrible notebookscreen. For the other ones i used photos.

[Rushlord]

I love your life paintings. Great work on the faces too. Keep it up. I'm jealous

[canti]

Some strange deamon or so, girls from ref and some incredibly ungly studies.

[Rushlord]

The demon looks pretty cool. It reminds me of something.

[Arne Meyer]

Hi there!
I really like your drawings from life, they look very vivid.
What you should practice, is to get your digital brushstrokes a bit more cleaner.
They look a bit to rough and dirty for my taste.
All in all a promising start.
Good luck and keep on posting!

[Konstruktion]

Well you sure are of for a promising start, as previous poster stated. Bad at handing out crits, you will likely get better. Good variation of color studies, lifedrawings and imaginary drawings.

[canti]

Ah sorry, i'm so damn lazy.
Hope i will update more often. University is keeping me busy with lame stuff i don't want to do...

Some sketches. Love the new Photoshop CS5 brushes.

[jskotte]

Really nice studies and characters You have great values in your work. Only crit is the horse, it looks a bit off, maybe a small head, I'm not really sure.

[canti]

@ jskotte: Thank you.

PS doodle, drawing (yeah i know, that thing looks like a penis...) and poses. Did a lot more of them, but my computer crashed.

It's hard to get clean edges...
