W1r3d Sketchbook

[W1r3d]

Hi, been lurking for some time. Thought i would give it a honest shot to shape up me arts.

Comments and Critique is as always appriciated. After all, i'm here because i want to learn

[DK_sketch]

fancy meeting you here
hey man welcome to CA, it´s good to see that you finally decided to join
Hoping to see a lot of improvement and I will of course help giving pointers as best i can

[W1r3d]

Awsome, I'll be keeping an eye in your thread aswell DK

Tonights reaping.

Good to see anatomy studies (that's stuff I need to revise over), if you keep at it you'll find the proportions and anatomy easy as pie (along with the help of lifedrawing). Though I would like to point out some problems with the female nude study (which is the first image in your second post), the torso is one head too long (a human body on average is the height of 7 heads), and there is an element of shapelessness to the anatomy (you give her some masculine body traites in places, like the upper leg and shoulders), making her look abit lanky and peculiar.

Though there is noticeable improvement with your shading and use of colour. Especially in the differences between the first Warhammer piece and the second, which features greater definition and contrast making it a more striking image.

[DK_sketch]

nice to see you are keeping it up try out a sketch a day and see if you can keep it up, if you can you are gonna see improvement extremely fast

[W1r3d]

@kagemusha22 - Thank you for your reply I'll keep at it with those anatomy studies. Just as you say. Need to find me a lifedrawing class here in Falun though.

@DK_sketch - i'll try too keep it up to the best of my abilities

[DK_sketch]

Nice update need more anatomy studies though
Keep em coming

[W1r3d]

Made a quick face study before bed. need to do more.

[W1r3d]

I know it's a small update. I have yet to skan my posermaniacs pages. Will be a larger update later on.

I'm looking into what kind of Life drawing classes there are in Falun. That would aid me greatly right now i feel.

[W1r3d]

New Face,

[papervampire]

nice studies! i think you're on the right track; keep it up!

sketchtime while watching Desert Punk anime.

**Edit**
Also managed to squeeze in some posermaniacs today. Feels nice.

[DK_sketch]

Nice stuff so far you are really keeping up the hard work, inspiring

[W1r3d]

Trying to keep up with the anatomy. Feels like i also need to compliment with some more facial, hand and feet studies. Also color would be good.
@ papervampire: thank you i enjoyed looking through your sketchbook.
@ DK sketch: thnx dude. Needs moar though....moar!

[DK_sketch]

nice update
one thing i think will help you especially with the face is blocking it out with really hard lines just to get a feel of the prorportions and placement, makes it a hell of a lot easyer

[W1r3d]

@Dk_sketch - yeah i am going to take that in and start concentrating on getting the facial lines correct.

Can't really say what i though with this one. I just felt like doing something and this is what came out.

[Kagemusha22]

That last post is pretty good, I really like it. Attractive colour combinations (that're mature), the almost cubist styling fits the design of the character and that definite black line perfectly punctuates the drawing.

[W1r3d]

@Kagemusha22 - thank you very much. I'm delighted that you like it

Made a doodle while listening to the documentary 'the wild china'

[Evxyza92]

I like what I see its good. Your faces however needs some work. They need to have some more proportions. For example you have too much space between chin and lower lip on a few of your pictures. Other times the eyes are too far apart.

Check out some face studies and post 'em up. Keep it coming

[W1r3d]

Thank you very much Evxyza

I agree with what you say and i've been reading through this head tutorial thread on Conceptart. I'm going to try this method out:

[W1r3d]

Sketched a little something more.
Gonna do some more anatomy and at least one proper facial study.

[Mr. Smile]

Nice start!
Watch out for those proportions and do more anatomy studies, and It will be real quick.
Also if you´re using white to do your lights (I´m not sure if you do), don´t do it. Select a palette of colors instead. Using white makes the skin look kinda like a plastic and you don´t want that.

Good Luck!

[W1r3d]

@Mr. Smile - Thank you .

Yeh i really need to sit down and go through a couple of pages with just facial studies. different views and persons. As for the highlights. I will absolutely keep your words in mind. I usually have a photography to go after. I generally try to avoid the color picker and instead eyeball what colors the subject, lights and shades have.

Update with a facial *More coming tomorrow*

[W1r3d]

New update

made a scout helmet and continued on the facial studies.
