Humble Sketchdump

[DvrJeroen]

Wow guys..

Care - Thank you ! I must say, I'm not really comfortable with shading, but thats something I will work on next (school)year.
I'm gonna take art classes, specific on life drawing. I've taken a look at the reilly method you mentioned, and its pretty interesting. I didn't know that technique had a specific name (:
I'm glad you like the architectural studies and the watercolors!
And yeah I was told before that I should use more soft edges in my shading.
For the perspective, you might be right. Sometimes I'm pretty lazy and don't pay much attention to the correct perspective grid..
Thanks again for the feedback, It's much appreciated!

Pete Hidalgo - Hey man , thanks!! You're completely right with the waterfall pic. I didn't really think about it :p
The scale is waayyy off but yeah I used a ref pic for the whole background (the trees) and didn't change anything yet. I was actually gonna finish the pic but didn't come to it.. There are many bad things about that one. And when I look back at it, it looks pretty awful :p
And..thank you for taking the time writing down the whole thing!!

Now something different.. I did a pencil (+ white conté) and watercolor study of a piece by Zdzisław Beksiński, I don't know it's name, but here's a pic ->(Link)
I'm really stunned by overall 'feeling' of his work. really inspiring!

edit: WUT page 5 already?

Today's sketches

[Lav]

Do you do those sketches from photos? If so, from what database? I'm always looking for new places to do studies when I can't do live drawing at school.
They're looking really good

[DvrJeroen]

Hey Lav,
Yeah, I get my reference from several sites and stocks.. here are some :

Some things I've been doing
First one was for the EOW

[Kriss_Kringle]

Really cool architecture studies,man!You seem to be improving in the digital department as well,oh and thanks for dropping by on my sketchbook.

[DvrJeroen]

Kriss_Kringle Thanks man!

'steampunk racer' for the teen challenge

[feralkat]

Your paintings are nice! Your gesture drawing has improved quite a bit from the beginning of the thread, too. I noticed it's a lot of contour drawings though. Working out the inner structure of the skeleton is something I'd love to see.

[DvrJeroen]

Feralcat Thanks ! I'm gonna work on that in the near future

Hmm, looks like my sketchbook is pretty messed up by this new skin and lay-out :/

Here's a little screencap study (+-30 min)

[Eleyon]

It's nice for being only a 30 minutes sketch! I'd like to see the final result

[Greenhouse]

Hey, nice sb! You're doing big progress on the body gestures, they are getting so much better than in the first pages.
I really like the water colors. The building constructions are great! And this last car in just 30 min is very good. Keep it up!

[DvrJeroen]

Eleyon I'm glad you like it! But I don't hink i'm gonna finish it (:
Greenhouse Thanks! Will do..

Enviro thumbs w/ same color palette (1/2)

[bbwolf]

sweet work. good excercise. Looking good and tipped me off to another excercise I need to incorporate in my art workout. Thanks

[DvrJeroen]

PMbbwolf thanks, I started with a regular photograph and just began sketching these thumbs, picking the colors off the pic.
I've found this technique pretty good to quickly generate ideas
