[rodrigo!]

thanks a lot everyone for the encouragement it is much appreciated especially during these rough patches im having where i hate every second im drawing and its a constant struggle...
it seems everything i draw turns out completely shit and its fuckin annoying
i went to life drawing class today but it was almost all gestures so theres no point in posting them
studies of left hand with lamp

bleh

[Kondor]

cool stuff rod, dont worry, everyone here is willing to support you because you deserve it man, keep on posting

[rodrigo!]

thanx a lot man

[rodrigo!]

todays shit...

Nice hand study Bro! the value on figure is coming along well too. Keep them coming...looking goood!

[JadeDragon]

Rodrigo!

I agree with Xia, those hand studies are superb. And the full bodies from life are really great! Im sad to hear ya getting frustrated sometimes, I see so many great qualities in your art.

The body on the girl standing facing us is really nice....excellent shading and shadow work there!

Great job on the sketchbook, Rodrigo! I see you improving rapidly! Those studies really pay off in the long run. Its great to see another artist fond of drawing on comicbook paper. Drawing that big really helps growth, and you can really go in there and have fun on the details, like ya did on those cool cyborg drawings.

Keep up the great work, man!~~~JadeDragon

[rodrigo!]

craig- haha yea man i had a lot of fun, felt the after-effects kick in hard today tho

thanx a lot XIA! im really glad u liked them bro, i will keep em coming as much as i can


jadeD- thanks a lot man i really appreciate the kind words, i guess i was pretty annoyed that nite nothin seemed to go right for me
but yeah i love drawing on those big comic boards its great fun and they are so smoooth the pencil slides across sexily

anyways i really couldnt be bothered doin anything that would require concentration so i just did some scribbles on this page...will probably do more studies and stuff soon to compensate

[PHATandy]

LOLOL... tht last picture is pretty wacky.. the face on the large animal is cool.
Youve got some nice studies... i really like ure hand studies up a bit.. some impressive rendering.
Keep up the good work and post more soon.

[rodrigo!]

thanks a lot phat andy for the nice comments!

thanks again guys for the encouragement i dont think i wouldve bothered drawing tonite (reaaally tired) if it wasnt for the kind words and stuff so yeah!


1-some face drawings for my art diary (school art)
2-figure drawing thing
3-just some shit i did to relax and experiment a bit

[rodrigo!]

got a new sketchvbook...its 11 inches by 14, a bit smaller than A3
its pretty gay to scan but definitely worth it its a lot more fun having more room to play with

yay
study and some hand gestures

some ink shit

[Kondor]

hey rod man, im really liking this new stuff, the inks are really nice, how did you go about piecing your new pages together?

[jungsangchoe]

dude your work is awesome! i love some of them sketches and yeah the hand study rocks... love that cyborg thingy u did too... must have spent a lot of time on it... dude u really got a great future in front of ya considering tt ya jus 17.. which is really young.. cool.... respect!

[Burning Eyes]

Damnit, you are really good... and young! BIGG inspiration to me, caus im 16... Now I gotta catch up...Keep postin!

[Craig Houghton]

Why must scanner sizes be so damn standardized. The big ones are ridiculously expensive. Ahh well. I'm positive you'll put that new book to incredible use.

Everything is looking great. That includes the inky stuff. As you work with he ink stuff though, I'd consider shading the bodies a bit more strongly. Part of the fun of ink is strong etched-in-stone value shifts that you can't erase away, and at least a couple of the figures look like they could use some nice carefully applied darks. The one where she is hugging her knee is very good, but I think getting in some of the darks on her might have given her more depth.

I'm really loving the figure studies!

-Craig

[rodrigo!]

whoa!!

luke- thanks a lot bro if u can catch me on msn il give ya the lowdown on scanning big pages...its a major pain in the ass sometimes though , scanning these was quite annoying so i took the lazy way out and didnt add a third section in the middle to get rid of the middle line.

jungsanchoe- thanks a lot man i really appreciate the kind words!!

thanks a lot burning eyes, dont worry man i sucked big time when i was 16...was too lazy back then!

thanks craig i agree ill work on that more its a shame the rendering suks so much on this new pic im posting tonite but ill have to work on it tomorow.


thanks Mike! thats really good to hear. I'll keep at it, probably need to do a bit more studies need to kick my myself in the ass a bit more to do those.


so anyways, after all those great comments it feels inadequate posting scribbles like this but i will be working harder tomorow hopefully.

anyways
heres some shitty scribbles for tonite...




roughs for a comic page...not worried about technical aspects just wat i want
to convey in each panel. ill probably do abother few layouts on the right size paper before i start the final page (ill use a ruler and stuff, seriously
)

[Soja]

Hey Rodrigo!!
U got a lot of nice stuff in here!!
What could help a lot is drawing much from live!!
For example doing some sp while studying the anatomie of heads.
Keep on doing this!!

[rodrigo!]

hey thanks soja, i mite try that out soon.

heres another comic page layout i did.., still really messy but i think im happy with the angles the last panel looks pretty retarded im not too confident about that angle..seems a bit cramped...ill try and come up with some better ones.

[xia]

Nice sequential Bro! I really like the 2nd and the 3rd shots (I am a big fan of finding interesting angle within the frame, and I think u did a great job). Keep them coming bro!

[rodrigo!]

thanx a lot man im glad u liked those 2 panels! ill be working on that page the final version probably on the weekend

anyways..

[rodrigo!]

[Rusty]

bah,ive talked to you enough times on MSN so yeah,keep goin boy and keep lettin your skillz evolve without barriers..

Jace

[Craig Houghton]

I loving seeing the sequential stuff up here. I'm glad you posted the first rough as well, it's great seeing the evolution.

In case I haven't mentioned it, I love the shading you pulll off with those long clean pencil lines. Very nice.

More!

-Craig

[rodrigo!]

thanks a lot jaseman i really appreciate the support !!!!

hey craig thanks bro im glad u liked them

[rodrigo!]

[auden100]

Nice work. I really like the comic shot of the buildings and cars, and that zombie cyborg just kicks ass. It's all coming along, keep trucking.

[rodrigo!]

hey thanks a lot auden i appreciate it man, im also really grateful that ya checked out the first page of my thread too

[Jokisalo]

nice stuff! especially the last one, really love the face.

[Craig Houghton]

Great stuff. You really have such a knack for those full lips. They're quite memorable.

Oh, and the nipple on the right in http://www.renderosity.com/photos/Ar...ticle10021.jpg Is it just me or is that thing really pointing skyward.
