Me vs Anatomy (and other things)

[chevy28360]

Really like your sense of color, and the pose studies are really good. Those thumbnails are interesting too. That's something I really haven't practiced much. I need to get on that. Keep it up!

[RissaKay]

Wow! It's so exciting to see how much you've improved in such a small amount of time!

[tj0ri]

[Januz]

@dimi, @chevy28360, @RissaKay, @tj0ri Thanks guys!!

Nothing cool to see today, just studies and playing with new brushes in PS

Your fighting capacity is fairly good. Your enemies couldn't gain more advantages than yours in those combats.

[kamikazel33t]

Hey buddy! I have to say you are doing well! I am not sure if you are drawing everyday or not but I would like to see some more updates from time to time. Keep it up!

[Januz]

@untier, your posts are always so original , thanks for the comment!
@kamikazel33t, I'm doing stuff every day but I usually wait until a page is completed before scanning it. That takes a while since they're A3s, and they also take some time to scan and put together. I can update more frequently with digital though. I'll try to post more often!

Studies of parts of the face









Now all I need is to put these together to make a face...



There! Beautiful!

[dimi]

[tj0ri]

great studies man

[Januz]

@dimi and @tj0ri, thanks guys! Promise I'll post moar this time

Sooooooo... I'm back. I've taken a large downtime from art lately for different reasons, but I'm slowly getting up to speed again. Here's some bug thumbs from imagination.

Some drappery and a lot of gestures









I've started doing daily gestures in MyPaint now, so I don't spend so much paper and so much time scanning.
These are 30s-40s studies

[dimi]

good good!making progress m8,like the gestures try to think what the spine does and affects the major masses,line of action might help to determine a more general direction of movement hamptons book is great dunno if ive mentioned before .But it might also help apart from the short gestural studies to do more focused ones like 40min or 30 min or whatever u like ive find that quite usefull especially with faces,anyways dont want to babble more keep it up m8 doin good so far!

[Candra H]

Thanks for visiting my SB.

I can see a huge improvement in your confidence and skill since you started. Great work, and lots of dedication too. Keep it up.

I like your gesture studies but didn't I see you say somewhere you were going to focus on form with those? I think that would be a good idea, and would help with getting a sense of mass and three dimensional solidity with them.

I guess I wasn't the only one who took a little break from doing art. I'm slowly getting my speed back up. Thanks for looking at my sb earlier!

You've come a long way with your sketchbook, it's really awesome. I especially like the studies of the facial features. I feel like that is something I should do in order to improve my ability to draw the face.

[Januz]

@Nexuun, Thanks man! I still have a long way to go with faces though
@Candra H, Thanks for stopping by, yeah... I did that for a while, but then I took some downtime. I started with basic gestures again since I was feeling so rusty...
@Dimi, hey! I kept what you said in mind while doing these gestures. Longer studies are coming too

Gestures for the past week




Studying female faces, lots of notes. lots.
(I'm also adding a little sepia effect to my scans so they don't look so bland)





Some images I made while playing with overlaying images and layer modes

[Januz]

Doodling to get used to GIMP and the watercolor brushes in MyPaint
Everything is from imagination, except the apple

[untier]

@untier, your posts are always so original ,

Lol. I'm so glad that you found it. It's because I tend to comment on really interesting things for me with my passion~ :p

I like those fantastic lights you left in #105 after your playing!

[Januz]

@untier, hey! thanks for stopping by

I've been doing a lot of gestures and throw-away studies lately. I'm not posting them so I don't bloat this SB with the same stuff over and over.

I also tried to join IDW, but didn't make it to the deadline.

[Januz]

Getting my crap together. That should be the new name for this SB
I'm back to anatomy. I'm slowly getting better at proportions, I've also been doing some poses from imagination.




Here's some studies on enviroments. I'm trying to learn how to place things in the proper positions and proportions. Also, building a visual library.

Some experimentation for Ctrl-Paint's new weekly thing (#003 - 75% lasso tool)
