Androno's sketchbook

**Androno** · January 22nd, 2013, 03:12 PM

Hello everyone!

My name is Alexander Dochkin, and I'm really interesting in creating concept artworks.
I'd like to start this sketchbook to record my improvements and really push myself to studying of basics, anatomy, color, light etc. I'd like to practice working more with not digital tools as well, because have serious problems using pencils, markers etc.

So, let's start with couple of oldies studies, that I did referencing from movies and photos. Each was about 30-45 minutes.
Will try to come up with some new stuff as soon as I can!

Any critique and comments are very appreciated!

P.S. Feel free to check out my blog, too!

nice studies alexander,I would reccomend doing in tandem with color studies some value studies(especially from life).
also before studying anatomy practice construction and manikins.
keep posting and push yourself!

Really nice paintings! For figure studies, I would recommend trying a bunch of different poses rather than drawing the same thing over and over again. Repeating the same drawing improves muscle memory, but drawing the same object in a different way, or different perspective will help you understand the form of it in 3d space.

GrayPersona,
Thank you very much for advices! Yeah, I definitely need trying to do some studies from life. Will try soon.

Aether Technician,
Thank you very much! You're absolutely right about different poses, will try that next time!
