Sketchbook of DOOOM... learning to draw.

**Maunty** · October 20th, 2009, 04:11 PM

Hello,

Thanks for checking out my sketchbook. I appreciate all criticism, feedback, support, etc. I'm 23 and I've been drawing consistently for about 3 years now + the time I spent messing around as a kid drawing street sharks or any other scribble that could have a lazer gun strapped to it. My goal is to improve as much as I can and CA seems like a great place to foster that spirit.

Enjoy!

**Maunty** · October 22nd, 2009, 01:16 PM

Heres a few WIPs

**NickyBeats** · October 22nd, 2009, 01:31 PM

**latigid** · October 22nd, 2009, 02:46 PM

Yep i second NickyBeats cool characters and some lovely inks too keep at it this time you have talent!!

**DisorientedArt** · October 22nd, 2009, 04:38 PM

You have plenty of talent. I love the guy with the shield and the chainsaw on his back. Looks like he's just having one hell of a day

**Maunty** · October 25th, 2009, 10:54 PM

Thanks for the comments guys. I worked on it some more and stopped at this. I think I like how it came out but ill probably still mess with it a bit.

**karikaertan** · October 26th, 2009, 03:36 PM

I love the last one.Keep it up man.

**andres333** · October 26th, 2009, 03:45 PM

congratulations the last one is pretty good.

**Maunty** · October 28th, 2009, 11:49 AM

@karikaertan: Thanks man, hopefully there will be more to come.

@andres333: Thanks for checking it out, I appreciate it.

Heres some life drawing practice I did over the past few days. I need to do this kind of thing more often, its great practice. There were some things I couldnt get right, but overall it was a good exercise and something to improve on.

**Maunty** · November 1st, 2009, 07:22 PM

Hey, hows everyone doing?

I woke up this morning and did a few arm studies from Bridgman for the first time. I definitely need to do more of these cause its great practice and I've never really done it before... gotta improve!!

**Maunty** · November 3rd, 2009, 05:33 PM

Hey, I've been making myself do some studies over the past few days and these are a few examples. I read a couple bridgman books as well as Successful Drawing by Loomis and I tried to incorporate some of their ideas into these... must improve!

**Maunty** · November 5th, 2009, 03:39 AM

Heres a WIP from tonight that started from a sketch I liked. The face will be redone and I still need to finish up his right arm and legs + enviro. Hopefully it comes out well, I like it so far. Please let me know if there are obvious things that need fixing other than what i've listed.

**IronFistGoon** · November 5th, 2009, 09:37 AM

great stuff man. I like your lines. You have a very graphic style that uses a great spotted blacks. I also really enjoy your concepts. I would continue to study anatomy. The few that you have are pretty good. Get out and draw from life, that will really build up your ability. Check out these links.

Keep it up. You are doing great.

**Maunty** · November 5th, 2009, 11:58 PM

Dr poPcoRN: Thanks for checking it out and there will definitely be more

IronFistGoon: Thanks for those links, thats some really good info. I try to draw people when i get the chance and I'll have to get around to it more often now that I've been reading up on anatomy a lot. Thanks for the encouragement, I appreciate it.

Heres where I'm at on the WIP I posted last. I think I'm pretty much done for now although I know theres plenty of room for improvement. Feel free to tear it apart, I wont mind

**Izer** · November 6th, 2009, 12:13 AM

Nice work, lots of good details in your work, keep up those studies.

**Sanskarans** · November 8th, 2009, 10:20 PM

This man is a brilliant artist .

**Maunty** · November 13th, 2009, 03:12 PM

Izer: Details are my favorite part and sometimes I feel like it gets carried away. I'm glad you like it though and I'll keep up the studies.

Sanskarans: Thank you, those are very kind words and I appreciate it

I have a lot to learn before I can begin to compare to many of the people who post here, but heres to learning and progressing!

Here is a Panda wearing Qing dynasty armor done partly for a competition on the League of Legends forums and partly just for my own entertainment. I have multiple steps saved if anyone is interested in seeing the progression, but for now I'll just post the final

. I was really stumped on what to put on his banners because I didnt want to make it overly ethnic since its for a cartoony videogame. When I get a good idea I'll probably go back and redo the banners because for now they arent as rendered as much as the rest. Photoshop start to finish.

**IronFistGoon** · November 20th, 2009, 04:47 PM

I love the panda. Very nice. I really like the black and white nude study you have there. it is rendered amazingly. Can't wait to check in again.

**Maunty** · November 26th, 2009, 12:52 PM

Hey everybody,

I finally finished something after a week or two of failed attempts. I guess it was just one of those off weeks, who knows haha.

Regardless, heres a b/w (obviously) drawing of a Hell's Angels rider. I got the reference from an online photo album (http://rideamoto.com/2009/11/23/the-...s-angels-10999). The album has some awesome pictures in it and I'll probably use a few others for reference in the future. I believe the picture I chose for this drawing was one of Doctor Gonzo, Hunter S. Thompson's pictures from the time he spent with the biker gang.

The problems I had with the drawing were that I made his torso a little too long and it was hard to make the biker vest stand out from the leather jacket. Its got its problems, but I still like it and I think its a move in the right direction.

Photoshop start to finish, wacom, etc.

@Ironfistgoon: Thanks for checking out my sketchbook again, I appreciate it always. The panda was fun to do, it was for a League of Legends character design contest.

**Mex** · November 26th, 2009, 11:39 PM

cool works ! Especialy like the man with saw. Outstanding !

**Maunty** · January 13th, 2010, 04:11 PM

Hey everyone, been in a bit of a drawing slump lately and havent been able to finish much. Heres something I did yesterday partly in anticipation for Diablo 3 and partly just for the hell of it.

Its a Witch Doctress

**Maunty** · March 3rd, 2010, 06:34 PM

Hello again, heres some stuff I've done in the past month.

**Metal Fingers** · March 3rd, 2010, 06:55 PM

Lovely start to the SB, the gothic person with the hammer has a real warhammer vibe to it, I dig it.

**Maunty** · March 3rd, 2010, 09:38 PM

Thanks for checking out. Warhammer is always a big influence for me cause the artwork is incredible. That guys based off the warrior priests of the Empire, so good call

Heres some additional really rough/loose sketches

**Maunty** · March 6th, 2010, 03:21 PM

yoooo. The first one is a warmup I did on top of an older drawing and the second is something I started yesterday for a competition.

Looks like its going to rain today so I'm ready to buckle down for a long day of photoshop

**FightingSeraph** · March 6th, 2010, 07:20 PM

I really like what you've posted here, especially the guy with the chainsaw on his back.

**Maunty** · March 23rd, 2010, 04:14 AM

Hello, just some late-night updates.

Thanks FightingSeraph, I'm glad you like it

**Maunty** · April 2nd, 2010, 04:36 AM

I've been practicing some enviros lately and this is my favorite so far... still needs a focal point of some sort but I'm not sure what to put in.

**Maunty** · April 12th, 2010, 02:07 PM

Hey, I dont have anything new thats finished to post today so here is a quick sketch from this morning's warmup. Hopefully I'll be able to finish something up in the next day or two. must... get... better...

**Maunty** · April 22nd, 2010, 04:20 PM
