Emmi's sketchbook

[Emmi]

Howdy! I'm a 21-year old girl from the land of ice and polarbears, Finland. I've been drawing since I was a kid but stopped it in highschool for some reasons. Now I've started to improve myself again, hoping to get better and to get in to an artschool someday. Welcome to my sketchbook :) My deviantart: http://enmie.deviantart.com/

Ugh, something happened. I tried to attach a drawing on the first post on this thread, but after doing that the whole post disappeared. It shows the post on my page, but not here. Should I start a new thread? Confusing.

It should be okay now.

Some late night pose sketching. The first two are 30 second poses and the third one 1 minute poses. Used posemaniacs for this.

[Emmi]

some pose training again.

[Olooriel]

Awesome portraits! Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

[RissaKay]

Great stuff! I'd love to see your level of full body--Here's just mostly gestures, but it looks like you'd be pretty smooth at it. Okay, I'm being weird and blabbering. Excited to see more of your studies in the futrue! Cheers mate!~

[Emmi]

Olooriel: Thank you!
RissaKay: Thank you so much, Ill update some full body drawings soon. I've got much to learn on anatomy and bodyshapes.

This was done about 6 months ago. Jon snow from game of thrones.

Here are some sketches I made one evening of Pirates of the Caribbean, Black Pearl. I tried to make them as fast as possible, not concentrating on the details but adding the right colors and tones, because I always start to detail too much. Still... they felt too unfinished for my taste, so I had to finish the drawing of Cap'n Jack. (Because he's my fav character in the film :D ) Anyway, please, critique, comment, anything! Teach me!

[Emmi]

Some sketches/unfinished work from my sketchbook. I'm totally sorry about the quality, they're taken in a dark, warm lighted room and I can't handle my camera. Next time I post anything I'll have a scanner. Pinky promise. Most of these are from imagination, except the Kate Moss drawing, Ryan gosling and the sketch of my bf. I thought I could add some my really old drawings the next time when I go to visit my parents, since all my old work are there.

Started sketching Vaas from FC3 which I've been playing for a while. He's such a badass character in the game, instant loooove

[LeaderOfZombies]

Nice work, Emmi. Vaas is looking pretty good already. Keep it up!

[Emmi]

Thanks sweetie

[Martin Jakobsen]

This is really some excellent drawings. becomes completely inspired by your drawings. look forward to seeing more from your sketchbook.

[Emmi]

Thank you for the comment, I appreciate! I'm going to have really busy spring but I will force myself to have time to draw.

[karantina]

welcome your line can improve, you are talented.

[Renart]

Wow! Really great job You don't seem to have so much problem with anatomy! I already want to see more

[Emmi]

Thank you Renart! I have my own problems with anatomy, like drawing hands and feet, and how the muscles work.

2 WIPS for the Character of the week contest "Royal family". Started drawing yesterday, hopefully will get it done in time.

[Rovanna]

I love your paintings! Especially the skin and the hair, I have a lot of trouble with hair. Do you draw from screenshots of movies? Maybe I should try that, it might help me. The Game of Thrones and Robert Downey Junior are awesome, very expressive. (I just watched you on Deviantart.) Looking forward to seeing more.

[Emmi]

A selfportrait before I head to bed. Good night

[Emmi]

@Rovanna: Thank you! I'm sure there are lots of tutorials all over internet for drawing hair, just lurk! Yeah I like to draw from screenshots of movies because you can really find some nice postures and facial expressions to draw. AND, I like to draw from not-so-used screenshots, because most of the movie screenshots you find by googling are drawn or used by tons of people already. Here are some nice screencap sites I like to use:

Hope this helps a little

Here is the finished drawing of the Queen of Hearts that I did for CHOW #315. I had 2 days time left to draw this before the finals and I'm pretty happy with the results. Usually I'm so lazy I leave every started drawing unfinished. I find these CA's drawing contests really inspiring! Thanks to the limited time I have to push myself forward much more and I learn a lot from these. I warmly recommend these contests to everyone

[Emmi]

Birds! I drew these for sinix's newest design lab, Alien avifauna. I even made it to the top 10 with my kittycatbird, woopwoop! Even thought it's not that big of a deal, it made me really happy and inspires me to continue with my drawing studies. Thank you sinix!
