Dan1989's second sketchbook>>now with paint!<< (some nudity)

**Dan1989** · December 16th, 2004, 03:42 AM

Some images have been removed for bandwidth reasons. Look at the bottom of this thread for newer sketches!

Well, I haven't posted in so long that my first sketchbook was deleted, so I decided to start a new one (I couldn't post because my computer was in the shop for 2 months nearly

) Anyways, here's some sketches I've done recently.
Hogarth Clothing study

Animals

Loomis

A guy

**Dan1989** · December 16th, 2004, 08:23 PM

Here are some creatures I drew today

**Dan1989** · December 21st, 2004, 11:40 PM

crappy loomis study(right arm is WAY too short)

CRAPPY lamp study

Blah... I've been feeling very uninspired lately, I'll try to keep posting regularly though.

**o0Dave0o** · December 22nd, 2004, 02:01 AM

Hey man keep going! All you need is the dedication and you can succeed! When you're feeling uninspired just draw anything, whether it be something in your room or drawing from photo or anything. Just draw draw draw, in no time you'll be drawing like a pro, besides, the stuff I see here is already an indication you're well on your way!
Cheers,
Dave

Quick sketch of a gamecube

**Dan1989** · December 24th, 2004, 11:47 PM

Simplified shaded figure, referenced from loomis

another loomis figure (notice a recurring theme =P ?)

**o0Dave0o** · December 25th, 2004, 01:38 AM

Hey man those are really coming along...I just have to ask though, why on lined paper? It's not a horrible thing, but really distracts, even if they are sketches...keep it up though man! You're figures there look quite nice so keep going!
Cheers,
Dave

**IanE** · December 25th, 2004, 02:55 AM

Good shading and proportions! Keep it up, man.

**Dan1989** · January 11th, 2005, 03:11 PM

Sorry I haven't posted in so long! Just been in the process of moving... blah. Anyways, here are some studies of male figures (Finding male references is so hard!)

**IanE** · January 11th, 2005, 03:29 PM

Hey, Dan! Welcome back!

The first thing I noticed in this sketch is that the neck on the left figure is too long and that the right side of the rib cage seems to curve in a little to much. Not 100% on the rib cage, but it looks a little funny. The figure to the right looks excellent though.

Good job, and welcome back!

**Dan1989** · January 13th, 2005, 01:18 AM

Ooh, studies

Hultgren animal studies(Yes, the horse and the dog on the bottom have strange proportions @_@)

Shape study of a loomis figure (Proportions may be wrong since I paid no attention to them

)

**Dan1989** · January 13th, 2005, 10:55 PM

Here are some loomis studies, I got really pissed off while doing them because I was having trouble with the proportions... maybe I'm too much of a perfectionist

And here is a WIP digital painting I'm doing in painter 8 (I'm using acrylics, and credit for the reference photo goes to ceiliog from wetcanvas.com)

**Dan1989** · January 16th, 2005, 08:14 PM

Weird eggs... done in painter, credit to Crias from wetcanvas.com for reference

**Dan1989** · January 18th, 2005, 12:24 AM

Loomis figure, surprisingly not-crappy XD

**hurricane** · January 18th, 2005, 02:54 AM

head + neck seems odd, to pushed down (imo)

looks good though !

cheers !

**Dan1989** · January 19th, 2005, 01:55 AM

Thanks for the suggestion, I might just go back and see if I can fix that

Here is a loomis figure I did today

**-sideshowbob-** · January 19th, 2005, 04:49 AM

looks good so far

there are some easy tips on how to learn or how to understand foreshortening.. before u will be able to draw a foreshortened body.. u need some training.. i did that 2.. with drawing cubes * in my first 3 month of "drawing start " i only drew cubes.. because i had to understand this

its good training*.. in our couch.. u have foreshortening too.. in ur chair too.. in evryline u draw.. there is foreshortening ... train ur eye to reveal the foreshortened truth

in my sketchbook is a Tutorial link .. ask me if u cant find it

u can also pm or request help in my sketchbook

keep up ya stuff

*if u need other help or tips n stuff.ss just ask*

**Dan1989** · January 19th, 2005, 02:09 PM

sideshowbob: Thanks for the advice! I will definitely take that into consideration.

I think what has been missing in my art as of late is spontaneity, so I decided to do some gestures of my arms and hands

**Dan1989** · January 24th, 2005, 07:04 PM

I need to draw more! Here are some crappy sheets of studies

Feel free to comment on anything that looks wrong

**Dan1989** · January 29th, 2005, 12:56 AM

Ignore the pastel disaster...

**Ink_Monkey** · January 29th, 2005, 02:47 AM

Those hands look really good man and hands aren't easy to draw there fun once you get them though cuz they can really portray allot. I'm glad the lined paper is gone to your drawings deserve a nice white surface. Keep it up. I'll be back.

**Dan1989** · January 30th, 2005, 01:36 AM

Thanks for the comment

As always, critiques/suggestions are welcome.

**Dan1989** · January 30th, 2005, 10:49 PM

loomis quicky

I'm obsessed with hands now

**Dan1989** · February 2nd, 2005, 01:08 AM

Bought a bunch of new pencils, thought I'd try them out.

**Dan1989** · February 2nd, 2005, 02:02 PM

Snakes

Deer

Rabbits

**cburt** · February 4th, 2005, 03:13 AM

oh wow, i really like your animal studies a lot. they have all the gesture they need but they're all very brief, seems like you've done quite a bit of study of them..i also like your arms and hands, at the wrist connection, you're getting that point perfectly. cool stuff
