Othrandir's guide to whatever

[Psychobuddy]

Hey man, more good work just keep it up....but I'm sure you knew that already.

And yeah you're an inspiration, hah, I get inspired by hard work and you work hard.

[ezekrialase]

Very nice updates! Keep the sketches coming!

[Othrandir]

Psychobuddy - heh thanks man! I'm afraid I don't do nearly enough work , but hey , I don't mean to complain...so...yeah...

ezekrialase - Thank you man! Sure will


here's today's stuff. Not very impressive , but it was fun

leg studies from imagination mostly , but there are some from reference and other artists poses. I learned a lot just by thinking of the poses , I think I'll do more








some faces ( I swear the proportions look waaaay better in the sketchbook )

[Othrandir]

yey , more sketches... really having fun these days

so here's some of those usual hands to get the pencil moving I really like doing them sort of as a warm up for sketching.





more legs . Trying to get the action right. I gotta stop doing from mind and actually do some anatomy studies...First thing tomorrow!





sketches , mostly from mind













50 min sketch to put some color in the post

[Quinn Simoes]

Really great improvement from the start of your SB till now. Your hand studies are looking good!

Keep pushing your anatomy studies!

Cheers

[Othrandir]

Quinn - Thanks , man ! I'll do whatever I have to do , haha


So today was a fun day...filled with legs Although it might be a boring post ( I'm sorry about that ) I still learned a lot today , so I'm happy. I continue tomorrow with the leggies and so on. I just wanna rant again about school...I just want it to be oveeeer damn I hate those last 20 days of school , when you can basicly smell the salt water in the air , it's freaking hot outside and you're stuck doing tons of exams in a classroom with 24 people in it...and the worst of it all , I have no time to draw!! soon..soon..until then ANATOMY! ( because it's the thing you can study best without the need to be absolutely , laser focused on it ) , when school is over though , I'm gonna hit hard the digital side and I also wanna try traditional painting. It's going to be LEGENDARY!



blah , blah , today's stuff

Hands to warm up ( I know they're terrible , I just do them now so my hand would get used to the pencil in the beginning )




Bridgman studies















Legs from mind



random...



and a random super flat creature for fun ( 1 hour )

[TNiznet]

So I'm back! Woohooow anatomy weekend , yeey Here's all the stuff but it's not in any order , sorry about that , but I'm too tired Too bad I couldn't do any digital I missed it so much , but I'm here now and my tablet can stop feeling sad























something to make things more fun ( I know the nose is horrifyingly bad )























yeey , I finished my sketchbook and I bought another!! I always get excited when I get a new sketchbook , the feel is awesome

[Othrandir]

yeaah , still on page 6 guys , come on , we can do it!


I'm sorry about the quality , my scanner refuses to work properly today :/

some poses







studies







heads ( I actually don';t know If I posted these already , forgive me if I did)


hands


more heads


some faces




digi stuff

a quick 30 min face sketch , I really like it It was just easy and fun painting it , I love that



trying to paint a girl again , still failing miserably



well , see ya tomorrow

[Andre-Sutherland]

Awesome anatomy studies man! keep on ripping through them

[Othrandir]

Andre-Sutherland - hehe thanks man



nothing much really , just some sketchbook pages and some digis. Man , too bad I didn't check the paper of that new sketchbook I bought... it's shit!! srsly , it's so terrible I think I can only do lines on it and no shading... if a 2B pencil touches the surface it instantly turns into an 8B wtf... too bad I can't show you the A3 sketchbook , I really liked some stuff in there... anyway , summer is coming and the paper and pencil stuff will be left in the background for a bit anyway

here's the pages







and the digis

first some terrible sketches , done in 3 AM , when I was too exhausted to care anyway



an environment study



trying out some fun stuff with this photo study. Too bad I got bored and didn't finish it . My anatomy sucks balls as always , I have to work on that sooo much



and a quick sketch for no reason , I'm just posting it for the quantity I guess



damn...that's it??? fuck , I gotta work more , ok bye!

[Othrandir]

so small crappy post today. I've got so little left 'till the end of the school year , I don't want to mess anything up. Turns out I kipped too many classes because of this drawing business and two days ago , I got warned with a transfer to another school. Weirdly scary Mostly because of the needless social awkwardness when having to meet new classmates. I'm just gonna lay low this next week and it's going to be fine.

so to fill up space here's this little crappy post

random sketchbook pages from imagination ( I think I have 2-3 things copied from random places , should be pretty easy to spot )







50 min study from tonight



and a 30 min sketch before bed

[shockowaffel]

Wow, lots of sketches and anatomy.
Your studies and stuff look quite interesting and promise to become realy good.
Your free sketches (in color) tend to have really really highly saturated colors.
Try to use more desaturated colors.
You're already doing some master studies and drawing from photos is also a good way to improve on colors. Just try to remember it when you something yourself

[Othrandir]

shockowaffel - hah , thanks man , I tend to lean towards the more saturated because I think I like it better , but you're right that I should do more subtle color variations , thank you for the crit

okaay , new stuff

some anatomy










some sketches







some creatures and character-y things





and a 45 min photoshop sketch , I don't like the colors :/

[Othrandir]

Okay , so only a small digital post today It's dark right now and all the sketchbook stuff are in the A3 one I have , so I can't take any pictures


Quick photo study , trying to figure out color basically



a girl portrait I did from a pencil sketch , they look nothing alike I also don't like the expression of the colored one

before


after


a random thing ( I've been going through a lot of Max Verehin's videos and I think they messed me a bit haha )



and something from just now , experimenting with more stylish stuff .. I think I have to learn how to paint girls before making them stylish haha

[Othrandir]

one more creature thing

[cgaddict]

Wow, you got a ton of work here, very inspirational! I could tell you're very motivated by your work, so keep the pace going and you'll go far. Will definitely be watching your progress as well, keep it up.

[Othrandir]

cgaddict - Pff , you're saying I've got a lot of work in here?? Look at you man , you're fucking crazy , I only dream about practicing as much as you do man. Your sketchbook was like a slap to the face , Thanks!



soooo , some stuff

I'm super sorry about the crazy shit quality , I hate that I love the A3 sketchbook somuch , but I can't scan it properly:X On top of it all each of the photos is at a certain angle so the drawings get with super bad quality and out of proportion bleh , I gotta think of a way to actually scan this stuff

poses ( some from mind , some from bumskee's stuff ) and some faces along the way... ( I don't think I can stay really focused )













head stuff









some hands





monsters





fast photo study , it was mostly about the colors



quick b/w portrait from mind , again inspired by bumskee stuff...that guy's a genius :X

[cgaddict]

LOL @ your response. I know I'm crazy, it keeps me motivated haha Great update man, those figures are looking very solid. Really dig the variety of work as well. Keep going!

[Klaustrophil]

Awesome studies. Love your anatomydrawings. Getting better and better. Keep it up!
greetings

[TNiznet]
