A sketchbook (October 24th, 2012)

[Timmi-o-Tool]

it seems you got a nice feeling for light and shadow! but it feels, that they need to be pushed out more, if you know what i mean...

[wreck]

thanks everyone.

heres another quick one.

im gonna aim for more dynamic poses soon...im realizing how tame these guys are, its a bit unnatural looking to me to see em just standing straight up as if they are having their drivers license picture taken. gotta get em caught in their prime... as well as do some color ones.

anyways. thanks again.

[DanielC]

Cool stuff man, explore more !

[wreck]

Another quick tonal sketch.

bland.

i promise ill do something more original and colorful as soon as i get time.

[Fetsch]

Great Sketchbook dernick, love the lighting on your charakters. Last sketch looks cool, great face!

[William b. Hand]

Regardless of how dramatic your poses may yet get, I'm thoroughly enjoying these for what they are, and don't see any problem with it. The interesting forms you're creating using the lovely soft lighting -- I mean, these are rendered like black & white portrait shots in a photographer's studio, which can be great. And, which, these are. I'm loving your descriptions of the basic intersections of the arm with the chest. As I begin to study anatomy I've noticed that my grasp of that area is horrible, and a couple of these pics've nicely imparted solid understanding of that stuff. Some great stuff happening in those portrait heads, too. And the landscape studies -- the soft sandy mounds meeting the red rocky embankment -- real nice stuffs! I'm looking forward to seeing where you wander.

Makes me want to do B/W stuff, very nice technique and pics.

[Gloominati]

Kingkostas: Thanks man, share i will!
Scimok: Glad you like my content... my gf's mom on the other hand, does not.
ChromaticCodex: ha ha! a robocop portrait would be a fun one. might take you up on that idea some day. thanks for compliments!
monstertree: thanks man, its not something that comes naturally to me, but im glad that whatever it is im doing, is starting come together.
surus: havent done any pencils as of late, maybe later on, just for you !
Timmi-o-Tool: i think i know what you mean, i only have one flaky-ish light source, i think i should double up on it sometime... that might help "pull it out" more.
DanielC: Thanks man, and absolutely. i dunno what im afraid of, but i think i need to take more risks and indeed explore different subject matter and methods. thanks for stopping by!
Fetsch: hey man, glad you like it, thanks for the kindness!
William b. Hand: wow man, thanks for the compliments. i really appreciate the kind words from you. as an artist, we tend to always be our hardest critic, and i personally think its for the best, it encourage me to drive myself harder and get better. but sometimes we get lost in the moment and forget to stop and look back at how far we've come. so thanks man, even tho i feel like i have a long up hill journey a head of me, you made me reflect on how far ive already come.
heix33: Thanks man!
Gloominati: haha thanks dude, experiments they are indeed! and experiment more i shall, thanks for stoppin by!

Just a quick unfinished doodle.... havent dedicated myself to any drawing time lately. Red Dead redemptions is my excuse. that games somethin else, im having to much fun making faces look all bloodied with my cowboys fucking bullets rather than drawing things similar to that nature myself.

[Ostroponis]

very impressive, im inspired

[LisandroG]

great stuff man, fantastic values. I really like those environments; maybe try putting these crazy characters into environments? give them a world to inhabit. keep up the good work

[Cyberman]

these have a really strong vibe to them man! like said above I am curious to see where you wander

[wreck]

some sketches from my sketch book.

sorry about the quality, scanner at work is just ancient and smudged up with perma smudges.

[Hellbeard]

Wow, dude! Excellent work. Your values are top notch! Please post more awesome stuff!

[LovanRoyen]

Amazing, bizzare, insane stuff! Great sense of color and anatomy.

[Tigermilk]

arrgh, sooo good. please keep posting!

[jozulus]

maaaaaaaaan, AWESOME rendering on these sketches!!! i would see more more more

[kischi]

Yeah really nice I like it too, whant to see more!

[Andrew Sonea]

Your stuff is amazing! You have a great sense of lighting, anatomy and form. I think you should work more in colour though, it looks to be a weaker spot of yours.

[NickyBeats]

hey man, youve got a really nice sketchbook so far! really nice values, and anatomy. the crazy faces on pg 1 are epic dude. soo cool! - i had to save a couple of them for future inspiration.

[Jasper_]

Great work man, very solid rendering style. Looking forward to see you push yourself with more dynamic poses and some color work. Maybe get some backgrounds going on too, keep it up!!

[Icecold]

Another person, who makes me wannna go cry and reminds how much of a weekling i am. Your anatomy and values are amazing. Can you share some tips, advices? I guess you are using gradient fills or some large soft brushes for that smooth transitions?

[wreck]

Ostroponis: Hey man, thanks, glad you likes.

LisandroG: Did you know that your name backwards is Gordnasil? .. doesnt mean anything, i just saw your name and wanted you to know this. also, good suggestion, im slowly working my way to doing just that, putting characters into scenes. ill get there, im just focusing on one step at a time, and right now, thats tonals. thanks!

darknight: thanks dude, im glad you like what your seeing. theres more to come.

Hellbeard: haha, alright, ill try man, thanks.

LovanRoyen: Thanks!

Tigermilk: im lactating with thankfulness! heh sorry, but for reals, thanks.

jozulus: mores on the way mate, thanks!

Kischi: Thanks to you too dude!

Andrew Sonea: your absolutely right. color is a nasty bitch. im no master by any means at it, but as time goes on, its something i will attempt to remedy with the help of this sketchbook. thanks for the comment!

NickyBeats: ha, by all means dude, if you like it, its urs. I appreciate it.

Jasper: Yeah, im hopin to get the time soon to do more enviros. they are fun, but take longer then a lunch break to do. soon enough tho. thanks man!

and heres a quick pencil scratch that i did earlier. yeah, nonsense. sorry.
