personnal sketchbook

[LtPlissken]

Now you see the true power of perseverance and doing everyday studies,
you have built up another destroyer starship. Hit another level is what you
did with your outstanding performance. Tallow and muddy soup running
on the mouths of our precious observers. That’s the way you should always
do it. When you feel a presence of a dark haired northern swine, be
prepared to push the pedal to its maximal grind. You know that
you improved, so there is a time for you to treat your
self with chocolate and with a fresh bakery bread.

Nice to see you still practicing away and keeping up with the studies. Remember to hit up the pencil work and draw from life it will really help your digital work in the long run. Keeping having fun and progressing. Keep working hard and you will keep getting better.

ωραιος ο παιχτης! Εχεις κανει μελετη και φαινεται!

Just a little reminder, prefer to use a smaller brush while drawing in order to define more your sketches! With a larger brush is pretty easy to hide a possible mistake since you are always saying to yourself "oh.. the eye is kinda this, the nose is kinda that, the blah blah is kinda that" etc etc. Forget the word "kind of" in the line art, at least for now. Define moar..!

‎1hr design challence Topic : Sky Turtle

[LtPlissken]

The lazy times being right behind you, no more time wasting,
you’ve jumped right from the frying pan to the cold water, delivering
new studies, which can frost even a brainiac Santa’s mind. Hopping
from stone to stone, and from wood to ore, you achieved your newly
pursued goal. Sky Turtle on the brims of universal understanding, now
a newly born child can experience your true thrive. A big village
and population is being hosted on the back of this giant Turtle, it’s
more than fascinating. Steven Seagall sitting mindlessly in the corner
of the underground gay bar, surprised mermaids all around, I feel
the end of indulged butterfly once again. Pretty powerful deliverance
from your side of existence. Keep continuing to work in this creative
and effective fashion, you are a rare very worthy kind.

cool turtle. reminds me of the discworld novels. Try to sketch in 3/4 view it would look more interesting than a side view.

Sketching before bed

crapy update.Need more work too tired to go on 4 today

[Wingal]

Ahoy, mate. I would recommend practicin' drawin' basic shapes and forms as a warm up t' gettin' into more complicated drawin's. It helps tons and I noticed that some o' yours be turnin' out a little wonky. Vilppu has some good exercises.

[LtPlissken]

Always think about the light source when you paint, and
think about shapes as boxes and spheres. The head is a lesser
sphere, and the helmet should be a bigger sphere. You render
and put your values down, in direct relation with the light source.
Also think about the light source, is it artificial or natural, is it
above or below the helmet. Maybe there is more than one light
sources. Let’s take an example. If the only thing that puts light
on this pretty fellow, is the sun above, then think about the reflection
of the helmet and think about the shadows that it will cast on the face.
Below the chin will be very dark, opposite from the helmet’s shiny
reflecting top. His nose is too wide inbetween the eyes. Try not to
force those arrows in the picture, they are too small compared to
his head size. Test things in small thumbnails. If it looks wrong
in small, it will surely look wrong in big also. Now take some
brushes and pencils and continue your artistic mayhem.
Don’t give up and think positive.

swamp creature design for 1 hour design challenge
Running into trouble with construction can anyone suggest any good studies on plasticity ,construction etc ??


Ltnt many thanx yes the goddess of artistic mayhem must be served through studies and studies this i shall

[lionheartGFX]

work on those studies work till your nails bleed with enjoyment hahahaha and also wingal said something very important that is to always start with BASIC shapes you cant get right into the goodies thats not how thi works hahaha, you have to grind your way up there keep it up and i hope you get more time for your drawing stuffs

[Januz]

Crazy lizard Do studies on animal anatomy to design better creatures. Also, like lionheart said, focus on the basic shapes.

[JamesSimons]

I have to echo what the others are saying about the basic shapes, I would suggest your hands on small boxes, toy cars, or model kits and do a lot life drawing of them!

[dimi]

thnx guys will take heed from your advices
