Robert's Sketchbook

[LordVenom]

Hey everyone.

My name is Robert I'm, 24 years old from Transylvania(Romania) and I'm an industrial and economical engineer.
I've been visiting CA for years now but never had the balls to post anything. I've been drawing since i was a child, and I'm trying to draw every day now. I'm just a hobby artist but I'm trying to get better. I love robots and line art, I'm really into comics and comic art. I want to improve my painting skills, and would appreciate any tips and critiques anyone could give me.

With this sketchbook I want to force myself to draw even more every day and hopefully get some critiques.

I'm new to this forum posting since I'm used to the DA method, so forgive me if I mess up some things.

I have a sketch of Metroid Primes main character(Never played the game so don;t know any names) we did on a chillstream quick paint event.
2nd is sketch of a mech from avatar that i did during a chiustream.
3rd is a wip of an American soldier in Afghanistan, ref used a photo from http://militaryphotos.deviantart.com/

[LordVenom]

Some figure studies I did during a crimson daggers streaming, and a color study.

[Nlete]

Welcome here neighbour =) You gave it a pretty good start, keep posting!
(If you are writing Transylvania then maybe you are hungarian?)

[LordVenom]

Thanks Man, trying to do more and more of these.

I'm writing Transylvania because it sounds mysterious and more interesting then just writing Romania And yes I am of Hungarian/Székely origin.

[zerdron]

I like how you painted the flower. I just can't describe it in words.

[Blondebeard]

Keep it up, good start!

[LordVenom]

Thanks guys I'll do my best to be consistent and hopefully get better at drawing.

Here's a color study that I started this morning and finished now:

[LordVenom]

Studys during Crimson Daggers and my daily robot.

[Nlete]

Cool, i liked the opacity you did with the glasses.
Is that a mining robot something i can see there? =)

[Nlete]

[LordVenom]

Nope Nlete it is an industrial all purpose robot for a contest over at DA. I still have to draw his little companion robot, which hauls around his replaceable tools.

[LordVenom]

More lady head studies during daggers today, and my entry to the robot drawing club's contest on DA.

[RickyRock]

I really enjoy the sketch of flower. You managed to capture it very vivid. It is not static, it has some sort of internal glow.

[LordVenom]

Thanks Ricky I'm very insecure about my coloring, so your kind words mean a lot.

[LordVenom]

Today daggers study.

[Farquad]

Hey, that's a really cool industrial-mech design. Does it transform, or are there two different types altogether?

[BlackDelphin]

Finally decided to post here i see! Nice sketch book start, and i wish you many, many pages to come!!

Like the flower painting and the mech stuff in particular. Keep it comming dagger!!

ps. you posted your portraits studies on ice's page too, instead of the daggers. you should delete that http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...149698&page=17

[Nlete]

Nice study. I just feel like it needs more detail or something

[LordVenom]

@Farquad It's a two bot package. The smaller robot hauls the bigger robot's different arm tool around, like a welder, excavator or saw. Alternately the tool can be removed from the little robot and it can carry a load up to 53 tons around. The two actually have a linked AI, so they are kind inseparable.

@BlackDelphin See now this is why i'm a member since 2006 and yet only now started to post. This site is incredibly confusing for me. No messages of new posts, no messages is someone replies to you, it;s gonna take months till I get used to this. Oh and thanks for noting me on my mistake I removed my post from his gallery, so embarrassing X_X

@ Nlete Thanks man, yeah for an hour study it definitely should be more detailed. I have to work on my speed.

[BlackDelphin]

Aaah take it easy, breath, i had an account for half an year tll i started posting. Not even thinking of making a sketchbook!! (just posting!) so many threads, so many places to visit, so many ways to mess up, so many GOOD artists!! >_<

But hey! One step at a time
It's THEE best art community out there i say! Lots of dedicated people, and ways to improve fast. It's worth it!

Iar in legatura cu notificatul, nu primesti repli, intr-adevar, dar daca vizitezi din nou locul, sau mai bine, te inscrii ca sa primesti mail instant, zilnic, saptamanal sau mi se pare ca poti si lunar (la inceputul threadului, la thread tools, click pe subscribe to this thread) primesti mail si atunci stii ca trebuie sa faci o vizita

Iarasi daca vrei sa-ti schimbi vreodata imaginea care iti apare in dreptul la sketch book, trebuie numai sa schimbi prima imagine, adica acuma, ar trebui sa schimbi robotul. (scuze daca stiai deja, dar pe mine m-a tinut un timp pana ce am descoperit si mai bine zic..)
Succes in continaure la explorat!

[LordVenom]

@BlackDelphin Yeah back in 2006 when i subscribed i got scared away, almost instantly. But i kept coming back and coming back. Had I found Bobby Chiu back then and started being as intense about art as I am now, i would be so much better by now, and back then I had more time to draw as well.

Hah m-ai salvat, am cautat si am gasit cum sa fac subscribe to thread, dar nu stiu cum sa schimb prima imagine, pur si simplu edit si se paote uploada alta imagine in primul post al sketchbook-ului?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------


A horrible scenery study that I did during the daggers today and the daily robot:

[BlackDelphin]

Why are you calling that a horrible study!? :| It looks GOOD!! And it will only get BETTER!!

And that mech stuff, like always..great!

Pai dai edit, da si daca dai pe go advance-> manage attachments, poti edita imaginile; iarasi daca editi titlul la prima imagine, schimba si la thread si atunci se schimba si in mailurile care le primesc ceilalti.

Fata de dA, aici poti edita cand vrei mesaju, sterge, adauga, multumi cuiva, cita, raporta hmm..si cam atat cred

Oricum, o sa vezi cu timpul, ca e mult mai bine aici, iar lumea e mai concentrata pe studiu. Daca ma gandesc mai bine, chiar pe un anumit tip de studiu.

Ne vedem maine, cu un alt post, da?

[Nlete]

I like that study, and the bot is cool again =)

[LordVenom]

@BlackDelphin Thanks but I presume my landscape studies will suck for quite a while, usually it takes time before u start to get better at what u do. Si thanks for all the hint sper sa ma obiesnuesc cu incetul.

@Nlete Thanks man, orvendek hogy tetszenek

[LordVenom]

So here goes the dagger study and a quick robot. Industrial heavy lifter, it's late I'm tired, have no energy -_-

[Noukah]

Hát szia! jaj de jó, te is itt vagy
I really enjoy watching your robot-progress, and I hope to be seing more coloured studies from you now!

[FightingSeraph]

Dude, those are some excellent mechanical designs, but I think you are in need of some anatomy studies. By the way, the Main Char. in Metroid is called Samus Aran.

[Nlete]

Nice study, i like your colors here!

[BlackDelphin]

Amm, no, nu tine mult timp, ce mult exercitiu!
Daca exersezi mult in mai putin tip, da, tine mai putin. Daca exersezi mai putin, tine mai mult, evident

Asa caaaa GO VENOM GO GO GO!!!! UPDATTTEEE

[LordVenom]

@Noukah hat mar 2006 ota itt vagyok XD Csak akkor meg nem mertem hozzaszolni, mondjuk meg most sincs mit hozzaszoljak az ietteniekhez de probalkozom ^_^. I'm going to wary the color studies with anatomy studies because I need both.

@FightingSeraph Thanks man. Yeah i need more anatomy studies and not just that. 1st I thought that Samus character was a robot did it with my robot drawings XD

@Nlete Koszike

@BlackDelphin Mersi incerc cat mai mult, but I need longer days for mor study time
