I'm here to learn!

[Creusa]

Омг, детка, long time no see! You got better! У фигур появилась линия динамики, вообще такие штрихи/мазки уверенные о_о Молодец!

[Satu]

Very nice sb and beautiful works! I love that portrait of your friend! And good anatomy studies. Great progress from page 1 and your dedication and hard work is just inspiring! Keep it up!

[Sweron]

lovely portraits (red haired girl, and blue haired with really nice hair )

Your last environment from imagination is sooo great.. colors are amazing !!! I can watch at it for minutes

[in2eternity]

Thank you all guys, you are the best inspiration and motivation for me to move forward! I really appreciate time you spend here )

Small update, simple dove study from ref )

[Fallenangel]

Really cool study. like the strong light and the values.
As for the crits, i think that it's head looks kinda flat though, and the beak a bit too large...

Keep practicing and doing the great work.

Alex.

[in2eternity]

Fallenangel: Thanks for comments and crits, это всегда очень приятно и важно для меня ))

Here is my attempt to DSG 1610: Sci-Fi • REPRESENT A REAL-LIFE BIRD IN HIGHLY ROBOTIC FORM. When I saw this topic, I thought it might be a great idea to start lerning 3D for me. So this is a first try of Google SketchUp, looks too simple I think, but hope I could do better in some time.

[Fallenangel]

Looking great, not sure about the red nose though, it looks kinda funny maybe make it a bit smaller?

Alex.

[in2eternity]

Fallenangel: Thanx! Yes, I made big thin nose so this vehicle reminds a hummingbird, I think if I make it shorter it'll loose this similarity... But I agree it's funny a bit )


Found nice book that helps me in gesture drawing - Michael Hampton- figure drawing - design and invention. Just began to reed and made some gestures from photo ref...

[Jesus Food]

wow man those gestures look great, study pays off yo, keep it up

[Valyavande]

Michael Hampton is cool, I worked with him too! And your Gesture drawings are good, I can feel the rhythm! Especially the last to pages in the second row turned out very well. I wanna see moar!

I have to say too, hat you have some nice paintings here in your sketchbook. But you can focus more on natural light. Train you eyes and mind to see the whole spectrum of colours, especially on skin. Bring you colours to life!

[Fallenangel]

Great gesture sketches, just keep making those sketches and studies

[Ramalooke]

Some pretty good things are going on here Did I mentioned that I love your paintings? Especially the way you handle with hard edges. Your gesture studies are great. It makes me to check out this book. Keep going xd

[Zolerit]

I like how you're progressing Keep it going!

[in2eternity]

Jesus Food: Thank you )
Valyavande: Thanx for such nice words, yes, color isn't my strong part, I'll do some color exercises next.
Fallenangel: Thank you!
Ramalooke: Thank you for so positive comments, it would be interesting to see your works and sketches from this book) Hope you'll find it usefull too.
Zolerit: Thanx!

1min gestures from photo-refs and some life studies:

[shiNIN]

Great studies, especially in #308, flow, gracefulness, I love them!
{Michael Hampton, you say... Maybe that's the way for me... Figures are extremely hard for me but I feel I'm somewhat compatible with these sketches, they are easier to understand how to approach human bodies... thanks }

[Fallenangel]

Loving those gesture studies, try to make as much as you can of those, that's what will make your characters to come a live.

Keep up with the great work!

Alex.

[Creusa]

Классно ведь, класснооо. Особенно последние #308 Чувствуется уверенная, динамичная линия. Ещё где-то сотня таких и вообще конфета будет.

[in2eternity]

shiNIN: Thanx! Book is definitely worth to try, it's a shame I went only through first few pages of it -_-
Fallenangel: Thank you )
Creusa: Спасибо)) Да, нужно-таки заставить себя найти время и сделать эти 100 набросков)

Valyavande said I have to work with color more, so I thought it wold be nice to do some master portrait study, I chose Repin for this. Plus some crappy 30sec and 1 min gestures to warm up )

[n1frit]

Привет! Спасибо что заглянула в мой скечбук) У тебя отлично получаються наброски фигуры человек! Гденибуть учишся?)
ПыСы на последней козак?

[in2eternity]

n1frit: Не за что, там действительно красивые работы )) Учусь своими силами, по туториалам и книгам в интернете. На последней работе да, козак, это с Репина)

Quick life doodles and photo study ^_^

[Fallenangel]

This last painting/color study looks really great! Keep working on those skills

[Divine]

[Ramalooke]

Your master study make me listen to stary olsa xD. You did a good work on this one xd

[Rollingman]

Im thinking you have probably heard this loads already, but your progressing really fast, your last batch of gesture drawings and the last 2 paintings look ace, keep it up!!!

[in2eternity]

Fallenangel: Thanx! I wish I'd do something like this without reference)
Divine: Thank you)
rumpenstiltzkin: Thanx, I'm glad you like it))
Ramalooke: Thanx) I checked this group on youtube, nice music, very slavic)))
Rollingman: Thanks for those nice words))

Anatomy studies from Vilppu and another bunch of gestures from photo refs:

[rumpenstiltzkin]

great gestures and studies! i really like the top left torso, nice twist on it

[in2eternity]

rumpenstiltzkin: Thank you ) What about torso, there is more work of Vilppu than mine - I just redraw it)

Was inspired by one of the resent works by Darren Yeow in his facebook and by beautiful Alanis Morissette's songs . So here is a result:

[Fallenangel]

Looking great, especially those studies and gestures! ...and what's vilppu?

Keep up the great work!

Alex.
