[Gibi]

trying to loosen up my digital painting

[Gibi]

i've been drawing on paper for most of the day but last few hours i've been working on this..it's not finished yet..but it's getting late so i finish it tomorrow. Used 3 reference pictures for it and it still sucked

[Gibi]

some practice

[Gibi]

I guess my best observation yet but still def not good enough !!

[Gibi]

F*** it... The end of this self portrait..I don't feel like pushing it any further.

[Gibi]

15 minutes portrait.. He would have knocked me out for ruining it..

[p sage]

Einstein at the beach got a giggle from me.

Good work on the SP. Post stuff from imaginations... it will be motivating for you

[Gibi]

thanks p sage! I liked the idea of einstein on the beach myself but don't like the colors..here is something i'm doing from imagination..lol..I have no idea how i'm going to color this one

[Gibi]

Finally starting to get used to painting in photoshop and it's possibilities.

[Gibi]

From now on I'm posting 1 page of quick warm up poses a day, done digital due to lack of a scanner, as a journal. this here being the absolute minimum

[Gibi]

please people, is there any way to truly understand spiral stairs and not make a mess of the construction lines?

[Gibi]

quick ones day 2.

[Gibi]

.. definitely a weak point

[Gibi]

ok this is getting awfully random..well maybe I'm getting hungry.

[Gibi]

place(s) I live(d), upper right being the present.

[Gibi]

This time from imagination since a long time.

Cool style you got there! I really like cliff piece in #61 and the moviestill in #63. Keep drawing and draw some stuff from life, it gives so much!

And no, I got no amputee fetish, I was just focusing on the torso and pelvis in those sketches. No limbs.

[Gibi]

Lol I knew you didn't have one ..
Thanks a bunch man! Indeed drawing from life really helped me last few months. I'll sure continue doing so!

[Gibi]

Note to self: Next time actually look at the thing first.

[Gibi]

quick poses day 3, but woke up to late so I don't feel like drawing much today.

Hi Gibi!
Your sketch book has a lot of interesting stuff even in te first part, where as you put it you didn't cared to develop anithing, I think that there the drawing is very spontaneous and that you have found some good ideas there.
In the #50 post I've noticed that you have some problem with anatomy but not with the gesture drawing so a little bit of study of anatomy like you are alredy doing and you will be fine

[ConnyNordlund]

some practice

hahahaha looks like marko!!

[Gibi]

*Rena* : thanks, Yes I guess I was coming up with a lot of random ideas back then! And I sure need more practice on anatomy, how muscles are connected to eachother and proportion.. I've been doing a lot in my sketchbook lately but will upload it when I get the chance again!
ConnyNordlund: I guess Marko looks like Al! but uhm who Marko?

[Gibi]

quick poses of the day

Studies are looking really good man, keep it up, you can see the progress.

[Xelar]

One of the first things I noticed was how much black you used in your studies.
way too much! don't just do light&dark. Try to use like 20 value for dark areas and blend it out properly to some mid-range value and blend that out to like a 80. You can always add contrast later but adding mid-range values does not really work.

Hope that helps

[Gibi]

Koh: thank you dude!
Xelar:Yes that's really useful, I will try it out in my next one!

[Gibi]

poses of today took a bit longer than usual
