Tsoul's Sketchbook

[transitsoul]

hello, Im new here the name is Shernard 22 yrs old. After roaming around and checking out the wonderful work on here you all are a great inspiration. I mainly do work as a graphic designer but lately I've wanted to grow more as an artist wanting to get my hand into a little of everything also finding it harder to come up with ideas and hit the wall one could say.

Deciding I wanted to get better I had to get down with the basics to improve no matter what art is my passion and one of the only things that keeps me sane these days lol

These are some of the things I worked on this past week

[transitsoul]

Just a few gestures to get this sketchbook going ( now if could only figure out getting my images to scan properly)

[transitsoul]

Here are some of my studies during the weekend mostly head studies and a few gestures turned out to be a very productive weekend.











btw for future reference this head study is from march its true what they say draw , draw and draw some more :

[Stefmanovic]

Really digging your style, love the almost cubist like vibe of those faces!

[transitsoul]

Thanks man appreciate it I'm finally getting back into my sketches hard work but I can see the progress

[Theeroos]

Nice work, a lot of improvement indeed. I also really like your gesture drawings, there is a nice flow in them (:

[Stefmanovic]

But do you want to do more with it? I mean, is it just sketching or do you also try to do larger projects (comics or concept art for example)?

[transitsoul]

oh yea defiantly looking to go towards the concept art route (and I'm also messing around with 3d and animation for personal projects) Im just taking more seriously now that I made time for drawings again (you knw how life goes)

[Stefmanovic]

I'd love to see some animation or comics done in that cube like style. For some reason it kind of reminds me a bit of Aeon Flux, which is cool!

[transitsoul]

thanks man yea I use to study as a graphic designer doing mainly vector work where I developed it now its becoming a staple in my drawings
matter a fact let me show you : http://tsoul98.deviantart.com/

[Stefmanovic]

Very cool stuff! I can imagine some of those vector pieces could make great wallpapers. I don't mean for on your screen, but imagine whole walls covered in that kinda stuff, people could then really disappear in the wallpaper!

[transitsoul]

I knw I gotta do that when I get my own place and I just checked your blog out, those steam punk thumbnails are really nice

[Stefmanovic]

Yeah my sketchbook won't show yet, but luckily you can see them on my blog/tumblr. Cool that you like them!

[transitsoul]

Yea man, what are you trying to do with your work ? ( you are having a problem w your sketchbook?)

[Stefmanovic]

The sketchbook doesn't show anything yet because I'm a new member. I've already put it up for the mods to fix it.

As for what I'd like to do with my work, not sure yet. These city designs started out as an experiment for Sketchup, but I'm want to incorporate them into a bigger project. I'm also writing fiction and am working on some stuff that fits into the SCIROR framework. I already started working on some short stories, all connected to each other. The artwork could also be an element of that, but I'm not totally sure yet. I also like the idea of it being a project of its own.

But yeah, perhaps that discussion is more fitting in my own sketchbook, rather than going way off topic in yours!

[transitsoul]

Man that's some good stuff I like that idea of incorporating your story and artwork and Its,all good man don't matter to me where we discuss were all artist here (hopefully they can get that fixed gonna have to keep on eye on your "sketchbook" when they get it working here )

[transitsoul]

Just something different some form exercises and organic shapes
