Capt Surge's Sketchbook

[rem92]

post 58 looks good, the face is reeeaallly good, but it has a major flaw... its like the skull isnt human, likes its missing something in there... so you need to give it more volume on the back on the head.. also a little longer up the skull.

[Capt Surge]

Another crap study I'm going to watch some things n getting good skin down, the values also suck why does everything suck!!!!

[Capt Surge]

Only one thing right now a wip, my wrist hurts sometimes and I'm gearing up to graduate high school yay!

[Capt Surge]

So I've decided to stop with constant studies and move on to the fun stuff I'll keep studying but alot of people want to see exciting things. This was originally for CHOW but since she is in a bikini its going to be disqualified.

SO this character is now the female warrior race of Mars. This is obviously still a work in progress so any feedback would be nice.

[Capt Surge]

Another head/face study, not finished, but I think I got the point of the exersice so I'm done with it

And something I might do for CHOW

[JoeS]

Real nice work man, you have a good way with colour and painting, especially in the skin tones. Keep working hard

[Capt Surge]

Ninetailed goddess for CHOW the idea is to have the crystal represent the tails. I realize I don't have enough crystals. Any feedback would be nice. Also there is a head from imagination and an unfinished study of some lady.

[Capt Surge]

a wip of poison ivy i think, I'm thinking of posting some figure and gesture studies later or something I need the practice.

[Capt Surge]

Don't know if anyone cares but I worked on my version of poison ivy some more and heres a color study of a kitty. Any advice on anything would be nice.

[SteffenBrand]

Dude, you made an awesome progress! *_* I really like your style...

[Capt Surge]

Heres my final for CHOW I was like five minutes late, for some reason the contest ended sooner than I thought. Also heres a wip, believe it or not it started from a ref of Christina Hendricks i think her name is.

[ssandulak]

Nice studies. Skin tones are hard...something I'm still working on myself Keep at it though, the progress can be seen.

[Capt Surge]

These are just some figure studies that I've worked on. I was gonna do one more on the page, but I got lazy. Then I tried again with more lame results, and also a portrait that is still a work in progress. The real focus was to get lighting situations down. I'll try some figure stuff from imagination later

[Capt Surge]

A lame painting from life, just part of my sketchbook and tv stand. I really need to do more of these to get better. DUH!!

p.s: Marko D's livestream was awesome and inspiring.

[Capt Surge]

Quick photo study of another kitty, any tips or tricks for anything related to painting would be great. ^_^

[Capt Surge]

Don't knwo if anyone cares but I'm waiting for some money so I can get more sketchbooks to start this crazy drawing schedule I made for myself. Not to many studies, but still trying to get better whenever I can. One thing I'm also really bad at is not finishing stuff because I just hate my own artwork all the time because something seems to be missing from it. I'll keep working and find it someday, but for right now 2 lame unfinished character paintings.

[Capt Surge]

Unfinished studies and imagination stuff

[FROZ3N]

post 45 and the white cat caught my eye..
nice sketchbook brah

[Capt Surge]

Discovery wip

[Ambiguity]

Good on you for studying that ear, it just looks odd when someone paints a really nice face and they totally neglect the ear.

Keep up your studies, you're doing great ^_^.

[Capt Surge]

More unfinished studies, experimenting with some different stuff

[Capt Surge]

More unfinished studies

[Capt Surge]

Been having trouble painting lately, and college is coming up soon. I think i'll go back to my old painting method of grayscale first, color later. I can't seem to get colors right though especially on skin. Any advice would be nice.

Unfinished failed figure paint studies

[Capt Surge]

wip...

[Pete Hidalgo]

Awesome studies man! Really like the legs in post #77. Great color!

[j.zhang]

whoahh

[Capt Surge]

just one, practicing better drawing and less painting

[Capt Surge]

Trying to get better at painting the female figure still no heads, when I have the courage to put heads on them I will do that. More later, maybe...

[Capt Surge]

Character sketch need to practice hands more.

[Capt Surge]

Unfinished sketchbook page. Don't have a scanner, the camera picked up the paper grain a lot.
