Hello to all CA members, i just started a new SB but i have already created an SB Last year and never updated it because of many projects and plates in school.So now i want to create a better SB that i will update if i can because i will be busy again.I am now trying my best to be a better artist by drawing and studying everyday and get inspiration with the people here.I just got my tablet this July and started to paint and draw digitally but i have study digital art for a year now.i just hope i can be a better artist someday.Comments and critics are really welcome =)

own character design.=)

**bad_painter** · October 19th, 2009, 05:42 AM

Wow, such nice line-work in your painting... and so clean, too! :]

Don't know why there are aren't many comments yet, because there is some really nice stuff here. About the only thing I can nit-pick is your finished renderings seem a little dead (i.e. flat), so perhaps you could boost the contrast up and add some glinting highlights to really make them pop! Hmmm, or maybe it's just the stark white backgrounds that are washing them out... otherwise, carry on, good sir.

**jatherip** · October 19th, 2009, 07:05 AM

yeah, like your linnnneesss! it flows XD! do some value studies, from life and photographs!
keep at it!

**strangedawn** · October 19th, 2009, 11:41 PM

jatherip: thanks a lot..yes i will try that.i am still learning.
bad_painter: thnks a lot i really appreciate it

**strangedawn** · October 20th, 2009, 11:58 PM

just a fast line drawing practice that i did this morning..

**crossmirage** · October 21st, 2009, 12:10 AM

Hi Sohee, nice stuff you've got there! I'm digging the weapons and character designs.

Your figures look a bit stiff though so I'd suggest doing gesture studies to get a feel for rhythms. As for the roboty ones, do studies of actual armor, and imagine robots as people in armor. Proportion-wise they're okay, but you might want to make the hands a bit bigger.

Keep up the good work!

**Zorcron** · October 21st, 2009, 12:21 AM

Wicked character designs. would love to see some more non character related work !

still life and landscape would help with your color as well

hope to see more soon.

**strangedawn** · October 22nd, 2009, 02:58 AM

crossmirage: thks a lot,yea i need to learn and study that more,i did not use any reference on my drawings and it is just a fast drawing. I should look at reference so i can i get the idea and make it more real.thanks i will study more..=)
Zorcron: Thks a lot i will try that also..i need to learn a lot.thks for the advices.=)
i look at animal images on the 2nd drawing..=)

**strangedawn** · October 23rd, 2009, 11:45 AM

just a creature..=i i am still learning and practicing rendering and coloring.

**p sage** · October 26th, 2009, 02:46 AM

Really nice mecha stuff. Rendering is ace.

I had to laugh a bit reading jatherip's comment... because your line does flow XD!

If anything is there for crit I think it might be the figures look a little stiff.

Thank you for commenting in my thread. You will meet a beautiful stranger because karma says so

**Lyno** · October 26th, 2009, 04:54 AM

Nice creatures ^soheeNgel>! Renderings looks fine. Maybe you can some contrast to the ones above, like you did with the brownish/green creature. His "bottom" is darker. You can try to apply that also on the other ones.

Have fun

!

**jatherip** · October 26th, 2009, 07:53 AM

**Jonas_J** · October 31st, 2009, 07:23 AM

You seems to have a really good eye for design. If i should recommend you to study something then it would be values. lots of value studies will really help push your work to the next level.

**strangedawn** · November 5th, 2009, 01:48 AM

practice2

**Dizon** · November 5th, 2009, 10:12 AM

Nice!

Gusto ko yung mga line drawings mo. Linis! Photoshop ba yan?

Thanks for posting sa SB ko. Sama ka minsan kung may sketchmeet grupo natin dito sa Pinas. Punta ka rin Local Groups Section tapos hanapin mo Philippines thread dun for any updates.

Mukhang dumadami mga pinoy dito ah!

**strangedawn** · November 7th, 2009, 08:23 AM

**Dizon** · November 7th, 2009, 10:52 AM

Nice! Sa Lounge yung "Local groups". "Philippines" pangalan ng thread.

**bWorx** · November 8th, 2009, 08:03 AM

hey man, thanks for dropin by @ my sketch book. Cool lines and designs here. Pera I agree dun sa iba, they look stiff, and some rendering are airbrushy. Maybe not just my taste, nothing wrong about it, though it seems na medyo takot ka, it shows in some of your works. Ilike more of the sketchy stuffs, and those monochrom quadped monsters, like the brushworks and textures.
thanks again, kitakits sa pinas! uwi ako ng Dec. lols

**botho81** · November 8th, 2009, 09:19 AM

clean lines you have here. i like the girl sketches a lot. maybe some more shading in the linesketches could help to give the characters more value and "volume". keep it up
cheers

**strangedawn** · November 17th, 2009, 01:58 AM

Dizon:nkita ko na cxa.nbngit n pla sakin ni Nkristian un nging klasmyte ko din kce cxa sa school un pla un di ko lng xado ngets nun.minsan try ko din sumama.=)

A little busy no update done.i am now focusing more on doing full paintng,but here is some fast digital sketch that i did to update.

**SMILEFACE** · December 13th, 2009, 11:13 PM

HAHA WICKED AWESOME SB YOU HAVE SUCH a GREAT IDEA FOR INTERESTING DESIGN

**Lumella** · February 1st, 2010, 08:59 AM

Nice, you have an amazing sketchbook here. I like the character sheets and the Teacup painting. You could improve more on your characters if they have more 'comfortable' poses. Bend their waist or joints to get the look you wanted for them.

Overall, they're awesome. ^^

**strangedawn** · February 5th, 2010, 08:03 AM

Grandmassa Mr. Spect:Thank you

Lumella: Thank you lumella,yaa you are correct ill also try that nextime tnks.=)
Aw i have been doing someting else and i forgot updating.

,i just got a seminar last week and i was inspired to do well, i really learned a lot with the people i met there and ill try to update again and again to learn more... here are some practice and some quick paintings that i did this week at my spare time.
