oxane's sketchbook

**Oxane** · August 17th, 2012, 08:24 PM

so, i have/had another sketchbook floating around here, but for some reason i can't open any files on that one, so i just decided to make a new one.

i'm a 16 year old that likes to draw for fun, and practice. i'm in 10th grade, and i'm taking many art classes. i'll end up putting some of my sketches, studies, and some finished works that i think are good enough to share.
my favorite kind of art is any art with lots of detail, specially to faces.
i love constructive criticism. thanks for the help.

i use Photoshop CS5, and my billions of sketchbooks.

1st image - just doodles/studies/sketches i was doing for the past hour. trying to inspire myself.

2nd image - i drew this for my boyfriend's birthday that's coming up. it's supposed to be him walking a monster in a swamp.

drew up one of my friend's OC, alexis. she's real fun to draw.

**Oxane** · August 19th, 2012, 04:38 PM

my WIP of an OC called , Black Market.

**Oxane** · August 21st, 2012, 12:02 AM

i helped a friend create/draw his OC. her name is The Don. she's supposed to be in a spanish mafia. she has two younger brothers. she happens to be very ugly, and very muscular. she can beat the shit out of anyone. she made her own bull horns out of shitty metal and calls herself better than anyone. she also had her leg replaced with a FLAMETHROWER because of a problem when it had to be amputated. so this is what i came up with.

nice start ! keep it going, and more studies, good luck!

**scariari** · August 23rd, 2012, 05:42 AM

ahh wow, your pencil work is so crisp and lovely!

on the don - she doesn't look very ugly to me! if she's so physically powerful, it might not hurt to make her a little thicker. she has a model's body right now, which is great, but maybe doesn't give the impression you're going for if you want intimidation and brute strength. i would suggest looking up and doing some studies of female wrestlers or weightlifters, if you're interested in changing that! it's good for learning about how muscles and anatomy in general work, too.

**Oxane** · September 24th, 2012, 09:24 PM

hurrr i need to practice on my anatomy so bad, as well as head shapes.
anyone got any tips for head shapes and anatomy?

**Oxane** · October 2nd, 2012, 11:13 PM

more doodles and practice.

Great effort so far, to improve your anatomy, I would check out the free digital downloads of Andrew Loomis, from Amozon(Dot)com. he has got one on head and hands , and figure drawing. Though those are free, and worth the money even if you had to buy them I would also get something from Hogarth, and Bridgman anatomy books. I would purchase the Bridgman's complete guide to drawing from life, and Hogarth Dynamic Anatomy (I heard the first edition is better then the knew one if you have a choice. I have the first addition and love it) Good Luck Man thanks for sharing.

I really like the guy and girl in post 18 coki & bacterial their faces, the grey-scale the Color reflected in the glasses "nice". I also like how you pushed color in the last picture to tell the story, it means even more because typically you shy away from color, maybe it is your idiom. I think it smart to keep the colors as simple as you do, because when you do use them it packs a punch.
I wold like to see the depth of your pictures pushed a little further, they are coming up very 2D. Personally I would love to see a few 'Studies' just you and a pencil. Still life, photo study or self portrait in a mirror. Something as simple as a Box or paper bag, but pushing it to the point you get a real since of the depth.

Oxane,
In regards to an earlier post, I love that you want to get better at anatomy. So important! Book reference like those from George Bridgeman are always great. If you can, there are summer programs out there, too. My opinion is look for the ones that really stress fundamentals, but there is something for everyone out there.
