Your linework is so neat! Thanks for posting the rough sketch work and the final lines for those environments. I love to see the cleaning process

Keep up the good work!

**jthierba** · September 21st, 2011, 01:09 PM

Thanks for stopping by my sketchbook. Wow, what a great sketchbook you have here. I love the variety of your work.

**GEB** · September 21st, 2011, 01:16 PM

Wow impressive work!

**Aresa** · September 21st, 2011, 02:04 PM

I love your recent environment layouts! The finished work looks so clean and well polished. I'm trying to get my feet wet with some environment studies, so do you have any tips on how to go about it?

Love the studies and I love that you draw anything. Great variety! Can't wait to see more!

**Rhubix** · September 21st, 2011, 08:39 PM

Thanks everyone for all your awesome comments

Dracken- I'm always happy to try and help!
Aresa - Thanks a lot. I found doing small studies very helpful. 10-25 minuet pieces where the focus is just composition and perspective less then 6" square, sometimes as small as as 1-2 inches.
I also like copying from favorite movies. I just pause at pretty places and do quick thumbnails.
It's a lot like character drawing, lots of quicker focused studies. When you get around to a more finished piece things start coming together.

Today's post is lots more doodle-sized things.
Happy sketching everybody!!

still in love with you style!

hawhaw!

**Uche Achonu** · September 22nd, 2011, 04:54 AM

Really nice stuff man, thats a lot of work.

**Rhubix** · September 22nd, 2011, 07:36 PM

Thanks you guys

Here's today's offering to the CA gods. I put a nickle in there for scale.

**Rhubix** · September 23rd, 2011, 06:55 PM

And another one with my trusty bic pen

**MeteorCat** · September 24th, 2011, 01:52 PM

Awesome sketches Rhubix. I really envy your style sometimes

I have subscribed to your thread and I can't wait to see more.

**FightingSeraph** · September 24th, 2011, 05:55 PM

Rhubix, I wonder if you have considered trying your luck at a more distinct style?

**Rhubix** · September 25th, 2011, 01:58 PM

Thanks Meteror cat

FightingSeraph - Simply put -no. My goals are diversity and employablity- not uniqueness.
Right now my focus is improving my fundamentals to the point where I can work in as many parts of the animation pipeline as possible.
I feel that style comes naturally and don't see any benefit to consciously forcing a specific style on my work. In fact, I feel adhering to a style would make it more difficult to adapt to the different styles and work flows of different shows and studios.

Any-who., Here's something I've been playing with. One of my weakest areas is story boarding so I've been working to improve that.
The video is a bit low-rez since the bg's are my usual tiny thumbnails.
excuse the mutating proportions on the character, I haven't quite worked out the one I intended to animate.

**iven** · September 25th, 2011, 04:59 PM

WOW your page 9 blows my mind, I am working hard to get better, can't wait to
see all the other 8 pages. Nice animations here, I have a lot on my website.
Hope to see you around my SB,.......

**jon n** · September 25th, 2011, 06:33 PM

Great pencil sketches, would love to see you paint and render them!

Thanks for the awesome link on #212!

**Rhubix** · September 27th, 2011, 08:00 PM

Thanks Zikes! There's definitely painting on my to-do list in the near future.

Today's post: Town doodle thing...

**Baudolino** · September 27th, 2011, 08:30 PM

Hey, thanks for stopping by my sketchbook! I really like your works, especially your lively & gestic characters. Looking forward to the next update!

**MeteorCat** · September 27th, 2011, 09:02 PM

That is a very nice town. You should totally paint it. I think it would look beautiful!

**AdrianNagorski** · September 27th, 2011, 09:34 PM

Love you storyboards your landscapes man this is great soon you'll be working at Disney!!!

**Rhubix** · September 28th, 2011, 06:59 PM

Thanks all

Today's post is some bird guys done in red pencil
And another enviro-doodle - bic pen with some pencily shading
+ some quick goblin drawings. ~ 30 seconds- 1 minuet each, also done with my trusty bic pen.

**rokushoxxx** · September 28th, 2011, 07:40 PM

Im an animator as well, really interested in ilustration too... Your sketchbook is simply amazing, you can tell the difference when an animator draws because most of the times theres so much movement in one drawing... (im not there yet XD). Great stuff!!

PD: loved the bird sketches XD

**Aishani** · September 29th, 2011, 12:49 PM

Hey there. I'm really interested in children's illustration as well.

I like your silly blob drawings and the bird guys, to name a few. But in general, your sketches are great. They have such individuality, the expressions. And your trees turn out very dreamy and loopy. I like that a lot.

**Misplacedhippos** · September 29th, 2011, 05:56 PM

I don't have anything constructive to say here, but I will say your stuff is great and i feel like I'm learning a lot just looking at it.

As an aside, what corner of Newfoundland are you from? I got to live there for about half a year and the landscape had a big impact on me.

**Rhubix** · September 29th, 2011, 07:51 PM

rokushoxxx - Aishani -Thanks

MisPlacedhippos , thanks too - I'm from the Avalon peninsula, not too far from St.John's - I love it there and hope to move back some day >.< WTB Newfi Art jobs

More sketchy tings and some anatomy study things today.

**MeteorCat** · October 1st, 2011, 08:49 AM

I'm slowly but surely falling in love with your sketchbook. I am so glad I've subscribed to this thread!
Keep up the amazing work.

**Baudolino** · October 1st, 2011, 09:01 AM

Awesome update! Reminds me that I need to do more muscle studies myself... The rocky landscape from post 262 is also fantastic, I would really like to see an colored version of it. Keep up the good work!

**Rhubix** · October 2nd, 2011, 09:14 PM

Thanks MeteorCat

, I'm glad you subscribed too ^_^
Baudolino- I have been meaning to do some painting so I started with 262

Thanks for dropping by

Below- a few painting trials, trying to figure out some styles to go forward on the animatic.
