Eumir's Sketchbook

[Eumir Carlo]

I wanna learn and get better and I see this place as the perfect training ground ^^ I hope you will all take care of me.

as to what i want to learn i don't know where to start and how but i did do a work right now just to exercise my ignorance on the human form

[OakLeaf]

Welcome to conceptart! Nice start. One day you will look back on this first post and chuckle to yourself as you remember the day when you were ignorant in the understanding of the human form.

[Eumir Carlo]

OakLeaf-thanks, do you have any anatomy books that you think is good to start off with?

[OakLeaf]

Figure drawing for all it's worth is a classic and it's free so I'd start with that. Here's a link to it. Also, the books by Bridgeman such as constructive anatomy and the complete guide to drawing from life are good. If you want just an all around good anatomy book just for muscle/bone/preparation reference I would highly recommend Artistic Anatomy by Paul Richer, it's the anatomy book I use the most.

Oakleaf- thanks started practicing my anatomy with the book of Bridgman's Complete Guide To Drawing From Life found on the internet ^^

[Eumir Carlo]

Tried applying the latest exercises i've been doing i know the left hand has something off and both lower part of the feet but i dont know how to fix it T.T i know somethings wrong but cant seem to pin point what makes it wrong

[Weaving Worlds]

Very nice use of colour. I think the only real problem with the last painting is that her legs are too short. If you have the character on a different layer than the background, you could just stretch her a bit from the waist down?

[OakLeaf]

Nice!

[Eumir Carlo]

Weaving Worlds- yep i think so 2 and the right foot doesn't look 2 pushed back which makes it awkward

OakLeaf- thanks

did a lil streatching when i woke up on my artistic muscles

and then i had to work coz everybody has to make a living hehehe
and then the 6th character i did for my 2013 personal chalenge to make 365 characters this year was suppose to be practice anatomy study first but just couldn't help it i learned some muscles yesterday and apply it some more hehehe

and then came after the anatomy practice want to do more but grrrr job got on the way me sad T.T

[Heyriel]

Your sense of color is really amazing! *wow*

[Eumir Carlo]

@Heyriel- thank u my good sir ^^ i tried

when i work up i stretched not my legs and stuff but my artistic muscles and made this

and then went off to start practicing from the anatomy book pardon the bad photograph of it if i went too close flash gets in the way had to do zoom in and was hard yl its on my lap XD



and then my character challenge the 7th a Norse Warrior from the future ^^

[Eumir Carlo]

Here an update on what i have been doing
during the weekend i went with my friends and sketched the hell out of people in the mall

monday woke up with a sketch

did work and then it was time to have fun after


then character challenge character 8:Colossi Hunter Nomads
wanderers that Hunt big game, they hunt large beasts like dragons, no permanent address and has the ability to adapt any kind of climate from hottest to coldest of places. Best in the wilderness

[Weaving Worlds]

Wow, LOVE the environment in #11
Nice anatomy sketches, too! I'd add a little more contrast to the environment with the dragon in #12. Some darker shades - especially on that piece of rock on the left - would make a big difference I think.
Thumbs up!

I like the paintings a lot! keep them up
I also can see improvement in the anatomy
