[wasabi89]

Hey man
I really like your self portraits, maybe u should start making them daily =)
That reminds me that i need to push myself more into pencils too

[LastGen]

Nice stuff going on here, Aragah. That self portrait looks cool, I'd like to see it finished - as well as the teen challenge creature, cool design!

[Aragah]

vinicius, yes man i think ill do more of them, i really need to draw more from life

LastGen - hahah thanks man

im calling today short, my cousin is spending the night

lol overused texture? needs depth and atmosphere


some progress


i feel the need to draw stylized lately, i really should push it


sp


from life


lame page

[vanaga]

Love your studies. The digital one's are improving real fast. Actually everything is improving here, went through all pages and I'm sure about that
You're having a good balance between the amount of doodles and studies. I like that. I'm jealous about that
Keep on rocking, don't be lazy.

[r zanchetin]

The pencil self-portrait is coming out amazingly.
The helicopter texture is fine, but on the grass watchout for the obvious patterns, the right side seems overlooped and it draws way too much attention to that side.

[wasabi89]

Yeah! Dont stop mate!
I know how drawing can be a frustrating stuff, although you just need to keep pushing mate. Lets make these studies get in ours braiinsss =)

catch u later

[Aragah]

vanaga - wow man, thanks a lot for looking trough everything im trying my hardest not to be lazy

rafael, haha valeu man, vo lembrar de pensar nessas coisas nas proximas

vinicius - haha valeu man, to tantando aqui




fuuu im feeling so drained this days, no enegy for anything, idk whats going on. every time i get like this i start to question my vegetarianism. whaa my mind is a mess right now

not able to focus much, i cant even wake up early anymore.
lazy lazy days
heres a no effort update




after the master pascenko


idk if this one helped anything with figures color or anatomy, but i think it helped with rendering and brush strokes, abs are dalicate thing to render

[Ainuwolf]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK

dude!

gostei muito dos digitais! Os estudos também tão foda XD

[Pete Hidalgo]

Thanks for the comment man. Loving the latest updates. The shark is awesome.

[Aragah]

Ainuwolf - hahahahh valeu man

Pete Hidalgo - thanks


waaaaa im a big pile of pooooop!!!
had a complete meltdown today, i think i recovered, sort of.
idk, my imagination stuff isnt giving me hopes lately.
i got to get back on track tomorrow! f me.
idk, im just not very excited to do personal stuff. i dont mind studies

so, crapy crapy update, i feel they are getting worst, but i cant stop updating!





f me, i mean, look at this, after all this i still draw super distorted and dont realize it, its ridiculous


sp. its too confusing right?
oh and anther thing, i made such a huge confusion between what was saturated what wasnt. i think i put too much saturation at the begining, then everything else i added just looked pure gray. any opinions on that?

[rinnikirun]

Your on FIRE Your latest self portrait is coming on quite nice.
Keep it up my friend!

[Jephyr X]

Heya, Been a while since I last popped in.

Glad to see you still at it...self-flagellation aside. Although I do understand...we can all be our own toughest critics.

To help silence those accusing voices in yer head (perhaps?): I'm digging your sp in #215 above. Very nice/delicate pencil work and touch. Would like to see it finished.



I love the mask concept here.

Lovin yer pencils/sketchbook pages in #108....this one is a good example...and here.

Keep werkin and postin!

[Aragah]

ven- - whooooo thanks a lot man!

Jephyr X - thanks a tons man! ill definetly keep working and posting

lololol
i think i got happy again with drawing,
more energy!

i have a huuge problem, i cant freaking draw somebody standing, just a plaing simple standing pose i cant, little to no perspective, natural standing pose, i just cant freaking do it, its driving me craaazy!
i mean, if the pose is like jumping roling or anything, or even with crazy perspectives, its easier to me than a standing pose.
haaaa im mad!

so i felt like i was really productive today, but it doesnt seems that much now,

idk, i wont complain about it

"finished"this one


sudies



doodles

[Aragah]

idk what going on, picture quality is horible, and the page is too large to scan, so ill just leave those small and more of a "statement" that i did my studies since you cant actually see(or judge them by that matter)
**note: i think my problem on standing poses(mentioned before) is deppely rooted in the fact that i canot draw a single decent pair of legs! and it went completly unnoticed by me so far. this is ridiculous.


so, superhugemassive fail at this sp.
one day i shall conquer the art of decent portraits!



doodles




my very first "metal" study, i was so lost,
any opinions on how i did? i mean, i tried a lot of brushes and a lot of diferent directions and ways to use them. they all looked diferent from eachother, but none looked quite like the reference

[towy]

cool work i like it, maybe you should scan more you stuff (but ok i 'm lazy too to do it also haa...)
about your digital work i'm not sure if your brush feel the push (sorry my english i dont know how to explain )

[wasabi89]

I think youre getting better at color too man, your digis are coming clean and the values are starting to look more vivid. idk how to explain ,
Loving your motivation man! Youre doing great
Keep pushing it

[Ainuwolf]

Nuss, a quantidade de estudo é impressionante. Espero que esteja realmente aprendendo com eles!
Achei bem fodinha a armadura \o/

Keep on rockin'

[Aragah]

towy - thanks bro, i scaned today, but i think it takes too much time, and hahah im sorry i have no idea what you meant. i can only guess something with pen pressure?

wasabi89 - hey man! thanks! i want to see you guys work hard!!!

Ainuwolf - hahah valeu , eu tambem realmente espero que eu esteja aprendendo com eles, senao....

soo, trying out a few diferent ways, the sb pages are scaned, the sp and the hands are photos from my ipod and the legs studies are from my camera,
scanning takes too long, and ipod pics are to sucky, i think ill stick with the camera

bad doodle, "the moon tower"


tried to do some studies, failled HARD, i think i was tring to do texture or something, but i got the colors so wrong i kinda gave up, i think i have to learn other stuff before jumping in so much detail and texture

sooo, i conluded, i must study colors!
freaking hard to get bouguereaus colors right

studies


from life


sb

[vanaga]

Loving the last selfportrait.
If you want to learn about colors, check out the Betty Edwards "Color" book, if you haven't. Higly recommended

[Aragah]

vanaga, thanks! i have the drawing with the right side of the brain by her, its intresting, but i think theres some stuff missing in her theory. ill see if i can check that out thanks man




sooo, idk,
did i do enough today?





sb


amm idk how to classify those. "concepts" i guess
im trying to improve my creativity and imagination, any ideas on how to do that?



critique on this one please
-is the idea too obvious/cheesy?
-is it too dark?
i should study hair and blod :/
-edit- i think it need cast shadows on her face right? more light on her nose, and than highlights


blobs, really bad color studies

[wasabi89]

yeah man! "D
I really liked how the last girl came out!
You're colors have improved again ! man,
hahaha , loving you're dedication!
keep at it!

[shiNIN]

You are quite hardworking here, I feel ashamed being so stuck again...
I like your digital doodles/sketches the most, quick nice artistic strokes without overusing texture, yep, that's the way I guess.
I'm all uncertain here and I can't say anything about colors, it's a sunny day and my monitor is very close to a window, there is sunshine everywhere, I barely see anything from your last face painting, for example. Hopefully I will say something more useful next time.

[Ainuwolf]

Toda vez que você mostra seus desenhos você diz que não está satisfeito com eles :T

Todos os artistas dizem isso, bem, talvez não todos, mas a maioria diz que não são bons o bastante. Você só está dizendo a si mesmo que sua arte não é boa. Esse não é o caminho pra melhorar. Você tem que entender onde está errando e como fazer pra melhorar, não só ficar se corroendo.

Pra melhorar a imaginação você tem que aprender como as coisas reais funcionam e depois modificá-las pra criar coisas novas que funcionam do SEU jeito. Tenta copiar algumas idéias de alguns artistas e tal e tenta entender o mundo do seu próprio jeito.

E por favor: PARE DE SE MENOSPREZAR SENÃO EU VOU AÍ NA TUA CASA E ESPANCO ESSE PESSIMISMO PRA FORA DO TEU CORPO.

obs.: Gaste mais tempo com os color studies e tenta dar uma ajeitada no brightness da pintura.

obs2.: Eu falo sério quanto a ir na tua casa e te bater até você ficar feliz.

[Aragah]

wasabi89 - hah thanks bro! lets keep pushing it!

shiNIN - haha thanks man, ill be waiting for you to come by again

Ainuwolf - haha man, nao sei, por uma epoca eu ficava down quando via que tava ruim. mas agora ja nao. eu percebi que eu NUNCA vou achar que meus desenhos estao bons, e isso nao eh algo nescessariamente ruim. eu aprendi a nao ficar triste com isso, agora o unico efeito que isso tem em mim eh de querer melhorar, o que me da minha motivacao! hah vlw pelas dicas e pela visita!


sooo, i guess i slacked off today,

these legs are killing me, sometimes they are really boring to do, others really fun.
trying to figure out "how" to draw, or my style, or what ever its called

[Conniekat8]

looking great, keep it up!!!!!!
