Bloodyhorse Crappy Sketchbook

[bloodyhorse]

Hey everyone, I've been drawing for almost 3 years now, but not every day (sometimes I'd go a month without drawing)

But I'm ready to get back into it and maybe have a career in art one day


The sketchbooks are the main draw for me on this site so I figure I'd start here

I know, I suck

Hang on, let me see how this works...

[bloodyhorse]

Don't hold back on critiques, this is the first time I'm actually drawing every day

For some reason the scanner is making them huge so I'll size down my next entries

[Goyo]

Hi bloodyhorse. Nice start, Keep it up all it takes is practice. :-)

[bloodyhorse]

Thanks Goyo, I will keep practicing

digital stuff

[bloodyhorse]

Im pretty bad at environments so I'll try to do at least one a day

[bloodyhorse]

One of those is a pixelovely gesture- I use that site a lot.

[bloodyhorse]

D'oh. real life stuff interfered with my updating. Also, I'll be inactive over Xmas break- but with a ton of sketches pouring in afterwards. Because I still do real life doodling until I can get to a comp.

I was really proud of these until I scanned them in- argh. I swear they looked better before!

[bloodyhorse]

More stuff

When I'm stuck on what to draw I usually just start making shapes of buildings or towers

strange, because I'm pretty bad at them

[bloodyhorse]

No access to a scanner right now but this webcam should work until then

Sorry about bad quality

[bloodyhorse]

Still struggling with vehicles and buildings - also, I need to get better at taking pictures more professionally...

[bloodyhorse]

I draw too fast and never finish anything really. I upload 100 lame sketches versus 3-4 nice looking ones. Oh well, I'll get slower over time maybe

[Cyberman]

really like the pen drawings, and some of these traditional works your starting to do are show potential, keep it up these are good!

[bloodyhorse]

Thanks Sean McClain, I'm going to try to do more traditional stuff

[bloodyhorse]

Not as much to show this week...Free time is slipping away!

[Heyriel]

Great stuff so far and wow, you're really drawing a lot! Keep it up! (:

[bloodyhorse]

Thanks Heyriel, quantity over quality I guess

Not much today, though. No time to draw lately...

[bloodyhorse]

Past 2-3 days

[bloodyhorse]

Again, past 2-3 days. Can't wait for the weekend....sigh no time to paint

*wait, It's been four days!

[Nextra]

Hello Bloody,

Nice images, I really think you got it going on! If I could offer any feedback, it would be to experiment a bit with contrast in your digital images made with color Good luck!

[bloodyhorse]

Thanks Nextra, I will try that.

In fact, value studies in general might do me good...

Anyway stuff from last week + this weekend

[bloodyhorse]

posemaniac gestures and oh yeah still bad at vehicles and buildings

[bloodyhorse]

My internet was down for a few days, meant to update yesterday

[bloodyhorse]

Scrapped a lot of drawings past few days... I do too many cartoons. Gotta find a more realistic approach to drawing...

[bloodyhorse]

Not much to show today, though I am joining the age old tradition of redesigning pokemons

[bloodyhorse]

All I really did this week was digital painting illustrations, but I'm postin' em anyway cause I dont got nothing else right now!

[bloodyhorse]

More illustrative type stuff BUT I'm sketching more too!

[bloodyhorse]

I need to get a new scanner since this old one broke...Until then, crapass webcam pics and illustrations.

This IS what I end up drawing, most of the time...I don't really use a sketchbook and I feel like its starting to cramp my creativity.

Hope I didnt repeat anything...
