Will Lake's Greatest Adventure

[FootstepsBeckon]

*dusts off a few seats* *pulls a few levers*

Hello hello. So yes, after a conundrum of collaborate catastophies I'm partially back where I belong. Of the sketches I've managed to get my hands on for this short upload I've got some gestures,a few studies and a couple of other things.

It'll be nice to see some familiar faces again and i have missed the boards greatly.

can anyone suggest any good books for environment drawing?
























I'll Return when I can,

keep on sketching.

heres a wip where ive thrown some red scribbles down to work on the composition- gonna go for a shadowy figure up on the upper level to draw the viewers eye.

Oh, and a space scribble which was fun

Good to see you still working away.

[xerenity]

Damn, such remarkable improvement... and creative as hell too.

Good luck, and keep us updated mang!

[FootstepsBeckon]

hello all, time for an update. This week i have mainly been tryign to look into starting environments and thumbnailing (thanks to lemur and bapsi for the advice) and generally getting inspired by the ever-creative tom scholes,thanks for posting so much many moons ago tom.

RBeek : thanks rog, i missed my dutch brother far too much.
Ceinwen Fang thanks ceiny- are you of the fang now? o_o
Black Spot hey black, nice to see you again- thanks for the window tip ill keep an eye on it when I progress the piece.
Lightship69 hey buddy, happy new year to you too! Hope you've set a lot of dreams and goals for yourself to achieve in this end of years?
Hayden Zammit thanks for the kind words dude, needs work though.
xerenity Promise meng, tack.

so herrrreeee we gooo- some life studies (heads from work), a self portrait some other scribble and some quick environments



stay cool.

Will

[Black Spot]

So I'm guessing this is your SP


It's the best of the bunch as you could spend more time looking.

Get a second mirror to place at right angles and do tons more of them.

[cloudcan]

You are def on the right track! keep it up! go go go xD

[Pervy]

Mmm, look at all those sketches! Really awesome to see you updating us all with all your doodles once again! Definitely keep on going with all your studies and imagination work because i'm loving what I'm seeing so far especially the self-portrait (?) blackspot emphasized and environments in #333.

[FootstepsBeckon]

Thanks to a personal jab by a friend I feel the non-obligatory-but-soul-binding necessity to upload *something* for a reply, life is hard.

Here's some crappy attempted watercolours I did- p.s i actually like the wizard one (his name is ALFOR!)

Black Spot: thanks ma'am, I've always figured sitting down to do a self portrait might be a good idea but i haven't actually gotten to it since er..page 1 -_-
PervyKAY THEN IMPERVIOUS ONE.
Cloudcan: appreciate the encouragement dude.






this week in progresses- trapezius studies & pectoralis major.

See you on the other side,

Will

[Ceinwen Fang]

That's quite the moustache!

[cloudcan]

That's quite the moustache!

Lol this

I love the compo here would love to see more enviro-type work from you, I think you really have a feel for composition ^^
(and fyi I'm a girl not a dude)

[Black Spot]

Nor sure about the tattoo on his head - you can't laser treat water colours - or can you?

[FootstepsBeckon]

laser treat wha?

started a new blog for an environment diversion; heres studies and doodles and new explorations:














new blog: http://allthingsconverge.blogspot.com/

[RBeek]

really good stuff mate good to see ur still going at it! kapawnsome!

[Black Spot]

The laser thing was a joke.

Good to see you expanding your repertoire of drawings.

Serious now. Wales has the Triple Crown, can they do the Grand Slam? I'm already hoarse with yelling.

[tehmeh]

some pretty good enviro ideas going there, I second what is said about mirrors, just keep drawing faces and be as strict as you can about the accuracy of lines. Never knowingly leave something wrong on your page.

[stgodd]

Awesome dude!

[Lightship69]

Hi mate

One of the things that I like about your SB matey is the simple fact that I don't know where you are going to come from next, its great stuff and quite inspiring to see someone taking on the unknown and experimenting. Good job and well done you.

that's it really mate ta ta for now and all the best as usual.

[FootstepsBeckon]

Hey folks, kept drawing but had a few interventions of life which caused my mind to drift on in an unproductive way. Things have changed now for the better, so i'll be endeavouring to pour my all into advancing! Heres a big dump of some stuff from the last 3 months or so- a lot of studies (including some scholes,kchen and others sketches used to test colouring)

Long way to go, but hell I am really enjoying the journey.

[FootstepsBeckon]

some selfs!

[FootstepsBeckon]

wipwipwip!

i remember when folks used to talk in threads but i guess i can keep things going D: choo choo

[FootstepsBeckon]

[FootstepsBeckon]

heres a wip from this morning- theyre slowly starting to vaguely resemble me >_>* STUBBORNNNNN

[FootstepsBeckon]

looks a little bit realer D:

[RBeek]

cool, smaller brushes, higher res and that should help out a whole lot good u get the sort of values down quickly with a big brush, but u gotta take a smaller one once u start detailing.
