Sketchy Sketches Of Doom

[roozard]

hey braineater, your sb looks great! im from germany too and almost your age, so i'm a bit jealous, haha. i really like your studies, you should do more landscapes and use your landscape skills to use backgrounds more often in your pictures!
weiter so :'D

[braineater]

hey, thanks a lot for stopping by ! yea i also noticed that i didn't really draw lots of landscapes lately but that's why i thought it could be useful to give it some more tries. but i have to say that i'm probably the last person you could be jealous of when it comes to drawing.
ist doch immer nett jemanden zu haben, mit dem man mutterspracheln kann

I actually felt the way Vilppu teaches was not as technical as hampton because he does not really go through the anatomy in geometrical forms and he makes you start really really simple which is to master the cube , he also puts emphasis on doing tons and tons of gestures and he even states that in his classes he makes his students do six hours of gestures every class.

[braineater]

i'll be away for a whole week from now on (holiday with my family)
but (!) i finally found the pdf of vilppu's drawing manual and i will hopefully use it there
i also already browsed a little in this book and you're right, he teaches the basic forms more than hampton. guess i will practice that til i've got a better feeling for those basics.
see ya

Man... dat landscape!
Each time I come back here you're impressing me with new stuff, hard to believe you're still so young.
You have a lot of time, hone those skills!

[braineater]

so i've been to the netherlands for a week and had the chance to visit an art museum and take a look at masterpaintings of rembrandt, vermeer and others.
but i still found some time to sketch a little while being away so this is what i got
cheers !

I saw some of your museum photos, and I have to tell that you went through some divine moments
in Amsterdam. Your power and force got boosted up, your mental subliminal aura got the double
shield effect. You have two swords equipped on the front of your hud. I am so happy about
these happenings, I wish you a happy new year, lots of happiness and love. Your pose studies
got to another level, true emotional warmness is pouring out, from the pores of your every
pencil touch. Thank you for sharing and for caring, I will be around the rosebush, behind
the backyard shack, waiting for some more blockbuster epicness.

[braineater]

i've been ill for the whole week that's why there isn't much to show today..but since yesterday i got a bit interested in watercolor
so i tried painting from refs








for those who care, i uploaded some photos of the paintings from the rijksmuseum in amsterdam:
this, this, this, this and this

[HarbingerofIllRepute]

I definitely see an improvement in your poses, they seem to have a bit more gravity to them. :>
And those watercolors are looking nice! I hope you're feeling better this week, Braineater!

[kamikazel33t]

I C improvement too! I can feel more depth with your poses. For perspective try to be more patient with your studies and I suggest you check out the basic drawing dvd by scott robertson it is pretty awesome and I find that he helps you make the transition from ruler to freehand perspective.

[braineater]

HarbingerofIllRepute: hey harbinger, thanks a lot for stopping by ! yea, i guess my skin color starts changing from corpse-white to normal again
kamikazel33t: thanks, i'm starting to get more fun with perspetive now. hope i can get this dvd somewhere

[Kambei Shimada]

Nice sketchbook.

Lots of studies here, I can see your working hard.

Keep it up.

[braineater]

Kambei Shimada: thanks for the taking the time to have a look

more mind-scribbles

[DanBK]

DAMN! so many poses! so much perspective! This sketchbook is just getting more and more amazing
and apparently you're also really good to watercolour :L
I definitely need to do MOREEEEE, you're leaving me behind

[braineater]

DanBK: hey there! thanks a lot but i don't think that i'll ever be as good in watercolor as you are with your paintings

some moar.

[HarbingerofIllRepute]

Heya!
Those heads are looking pretty nice.
You are getting stronger, like wildebeest! o.o

[braineater]

HarbingerofIllRepute: yayz, it's harbinger again thanks for looking



some lame scribble update

[Morningtea]

It's been a while~
And your art's as awesome as ever!Keep it up~

[braineater]

Morningtea: yea, it's been a while. great to see you being back

imagination




gesture tool + life

[Naidy]

Hey, mate. Nice seeing you're still keeping up that mix of reffed and unreffed figures and faces. I always thought switching between those two states helps you retain information as well as figure which parts you still need work on.
Speaking of work, it looks to me like there's already an improvement in the facial proportions of your non-reffed faces.
Keep up the good work!

[DanBK]

i agree ^^ your faces from imagination are always getting stronger! every time i come here you seem to remind me of what i need to work on, cheers :L
life stuff is difficult as hell, but yours are looking nice. keep it up!

[V3T]

Just seen your SB, it's going well and you are progressing nicely =] I would recommend trying to construct your heads a little bit more before you render, keep up the work!

[braineater]

Naidy: thanks. yeah, anatomy is still a pain for me. but that's why i keep trying
DanBK: let's keep reminding each other to practice more
V3T: hey there and welcome! thanks a lot for having a look in here and your advidce. (:

the thing in the middle was commissioned work

scribbles

[Fez]

Try to give the leg bones a little more curve, the femur, tibia, and fibula has a natural curve so try not drawing them too stiff or straight

[braineater]

yea, i pretty much suck at legs (or anatomy in general). especially in those quick-scribbles i don't really pay attention to this
however, thanks for the advice.

[Morningtea]

Improvement!!Keep it up~
