Ramalooke's sketchbook

[Rotor]

Looking good so far.
What I'd suggest is try and introduce a wider set of values to you digital stuff, as well as figure out how different surfaces work with light.
Otherwise this is looking badass, keep it up!

[vayne108]

Nice studies and I agree with Rotor about your digital work ! Anyway keep on working, I would love to see more !!

[Ramalooke]

Thanks guys

I've been pretty busy cuz I've got a second job. So there was no time for studies. But I've worked a bit on this elf chick portrait. Still WIP. Ugh I feel like a shit today. Going back to bed. Cheers

[Fallenangel]

Awesome studies and the wip looks pretty cool too!

Keep 'em coming!

[Ramalooke]

@Fallenangel
Thanks mate

I hardly draw anything from last two days. Being a little sick so I had a hard time to force myself to do anything. So here are only some figure drawings. I was thinking to start a daily streem to force myself doing more studies. Still need to figure out at what time I'll streem. Anyway when I know something I'll post here. Just in case someone is interested ;p. Thats all, peace!

[Jephyr X]

Sure...we're interested! It's always good to see another artist workin at the craft...seein' all those studies!

Your pencils have improved. But really. Not saying just to make
one more reply, it is really that way, I can see that you are
a fast improver. And by that, I mean, every time you touch
the pencil or the pen you made one more step toward your
success. I bet that you would make a mega leap in your skills
in only one week, if you would decided that way. You have
the talent and lots of things come easier to you. And of
course I admire that you are drawing even when you are
not feeling well. Most often when I feel sad or bad I do not
touch the pencils at all. So there is one more top quality that
you have. The digital is looking great, I like her huge melons,
trying to pop out from under her shirt. She is a hot one, I saw
it right from the start.

Awesome book so far... I would suggest moar studies of the www.posemaniac.com variety or for more complex ones... http://www.pixelovely.com/gesture/index.php

I'll be watching (subscribed)

[Ludic]

I agree with Plissken, your pencils have improved a great lot.
And your latest digital portrait is looking pretty realistic, keep up the good work my friend.

[Ramalooke]

@Jephyr X
Thanks

@LtPlissken
I'm glad that you think my pencils has improved. But I must disagree with you. I'm not talented. I'm simply trying to draw as much as I can and learn as fast as I can. That's it. Thanks for visiting and comment .

@Mat Kaminski
I don't really like posemaniacs. Those models are far from what human body looks in reality. Muscles are not affected by gravity, poses are to stiff. It can be usefull though, but I don't think it should be used for learning purpose. Thanks for subscribing. I look forward to see you more around here . Cheers.

@Ludic
Thank you ;3.

Here are some hand studies I did from Hogarth's Drawing Dynamic Hands. Pretty good book. And could you look on this elf protrait I'm doing. She's pretty fucked up and I have no idea how to rescue this image.

[Ramalooke]

I'll be streeming everyday between 9-10pm GMT+1. Follow me on twitter to stay informed.

WIP.

This newest one (the male above) shows a great stride forward in your painting skills.

I know it's not from life, but it makes for a great improvement in your digital painting.

Keep coming

[mitchoo]

Wow man, didn't looked at your book for a while. Nice work! You are really getting good at painting. Keep going, I think I will try to study some photo's as well.

Cheers!

[Ramalooke]

@Mat Kaminski
Thank you

@mitchoo
Thanks Yeah, do as many high quality studies as you possibly can. It's a best way to improve. And thanks for visiting my stream, sorry for not sayin' 'hi' but I don't have two monitors and I forgot about the chat ;P. I guess it's time to buy second monitor .

I'm done with this study. I've fucked up so many things but I've learned a bit.

Btw. I have a problem with pen pressure. I can't turn it off. Do you have any idea how to fix it? ;<

[Koh]

Great studies bud,the improvement is profound even in the last few images.

[devastacio]

Hey there mate. Howdy? Good to see some new interesting work added to your SB. I wont go through every post since time is an issue, but ill mention my opinion on most of your work.

# 134 – I always like to see some good concepts. 2nd one Is the most interesting one for me. Good work.

# 145 – These mech designs caught my eye. Lack of colors dulls my interest but not a lot. Couple of detailed work will help.

# 158 – haha I still remember your last ‘Piggy story’. Good work here and nice use of colors even most of em are primary colors (or nearly).

# 163- Unique concept! I like it a lot although you could have done more with the backdrop. Tis little distracting and conflicting with the foreground. Nevertheless, Good job!

# 189 – Great work here mate. Good use of colors too. Good old MK! I think your previous studies are paying off. Try detailing it more once you learn enough to confidently do it.

# 205 – Interesting concept here but needs more work I think. ‘glaudarien’ certainly left a good critique that you should pay attention to.

# 223 – Some good speed-paints. I like the 1st one a lot and the complementary color scheme you have used. You still need to work on the overall lighting and the contrast of the image and try to clearly define a focal point (point of interest). Don’t worry more practice will remedy this.

# 232 – Hey good CHOW piece. Although the brushwork looks little blobby, I’d say it’s a good start. Keep going.

# 242 – Good lighting and atmospheric effects. Still needs work on your brushwork.

# 251 – Spot on! Much better than the last CHOW piece. Good brushwork too. Could have used some sharp highlights on that armor but that’s a minor thing. Well done!

# 274 – Hey nice work here. I like the way you have rendered the clothing.


Overall I see a big improvement on your paintings. You still need more work on your lighting and brushwork but those come with experience. Keep doing more studies as you have done and try to increase the frequency of doing studies. You are definitely on the right track mate. keep it up!

[Ludic]

Great hand studies! Looks like they're improving!

Man, it's so cool that you're streaming so often, wish i had the perseverance to
do something like that, haha.

Keep up the studies mate!
