PolarityMechanic's Sketchbook

[polaritymechanic]

Helloo,

I'm a 23 old student (not art related) and from Germany. I've been drawing for many years but only for fun and not very good.
Since Feb. 2011 I'm attending nude drawing classes and since November I try to get serious about concept art (I'm a little late to the party).

The first post will contain some 'old stuff' to give an overview. Everything later will be new.
(my nude drawings will mostly be LQ, sorry! - they're too big to scan and I'm only able to take pictures with my mobile phone lol)

anyways, nice to meet you!

[yogeshj25]

awesome work here! yeay cheers to the start of your sketchbook!

[Vilhelmina]

Hey, age is just a number here. In the end your work and effort is what matters! (: (I'm 23 too so I strongly disagree to you being late, haha ).

Really like the colours in the second last piece you posted here!

[polaritymechanic]

old stuff from the first post:




















@ yog: yay I did it thanks to you!

@ Vilhelmina: thank you very much for your kind words! I try to work hard! (:

[Eludor]

Ich stimme Vilhelmina zu, alter zählt nicht, aber um erfolg in der branche zu haben musst du dir einen abarbeiten und viele kontakte knüpfen. Deswegen einfach ran halten und jede freie minute arbeiten - nach cliche sollte das bei uns deutschen ja kein problem sein


for our english speaking folks around here:

I agree with Vilhelmina, age doesn't matter, but to be successful you have to work hard and make contacts. So work every minute - should'nt be that of a problem, since the cliche says we germans work hard

[polaritymechanic]

@ Eludor: Thank you very much for your encouraging words! ja, ich werde versuchen mich -ganz deutsch- dahinter zu klemmen! Hier einen Sketchblog zu eröffnen war ein erster Schritt für mich (; lieben Dank nochmal!


Today's nude drawing (+ foot study) and some messed up fineliner sketches of the place my classes take place in!... also a sketch I did in the bus (bumby street -> wonky lines wheeeeeee C: ) + another portrait.

Those hand sketches are awesome, very interesting lines.
Keep seeing shapes and forms when you draw.

The Vanderpoel studies and Legolas piece look good. Was it from a screencap? I should start doing those..
