i really don't know what to say....keep practicing....

i really don't know what to say....keep practicing....

Just don't bother..

--------------------------------------------------------

Heroic, hey man.

So we got your first posts hey, i say it's not bad at all for someone who just started. You should see some of the work that comes out of fundies down here in Sheridan. It's really late, ill comment some more later but from what i see, you should let go the fantasy stuff just a bit, try to work on anatomy. If you want to get the shapes right, don't copy off super heros or marvls or game stuff..they usualy are way off the actual good stuff to learn, plus youre just copying whats been done way too many time.

I know it's hard to find some good places for models but try some old anatomy books, they usualy very good in general.. if youre into analysing, better off copying those. Then later on when you get the grip you can start doing your own fantasy. Just a way to do it better i think.

Ill catch you later man... it's 1 am and i got tons of things to do/post/etc..

keep up man

[darth massacre]

Yep, Roger what Alex (softdrawer) posted.


Keep looking at books, real people, construct things and learn proportions first. Details....it can come later.....I've learned it this way before but never really enforced on me till I came to Sheridan....don't go into details too early. Build up your picture bit by bit, start from the frame (anatomy studies) and then the little details.

Keep em coming.


Whooooo 1.29am and more DVDs to watch!

[HEROIC]

hey alex,

I just found out that i got to start from Basics not jumping way too much and copying, i showed my drawings to a friend in library and he told me the same u said,, it just passed away my mind cause the only thing i was thinking about was, what should i do next,?

Now i undrestand what do i have to do, i gotta start from basics, and i got the stuff to do it, and i got plenty of time, so better not to lose it.

i got like 5 or 6 books on Anatomy and lifedrawings from the library today.

Im gonna try the anatomy stuff by tomorrow morning, from the pics it looks pretty cool, cant wait to read it, its too late now, 1:30am,,

thx for helping man. U know, im so lucky that i found u guys, specialy the sheridan students, and so many other artist here,, cause if i didnt know, i just dont know what crappy experience i would have after 1.5 hears, just wasting my time.
Thx Softdrawer,darth massacre

I recognized Alex immediately.

Desire is the primary ingredient to learning a skill and drawing is definately a skill, so I'd say you have everything you need: desire, pencil, paper, and a sandwhich when you get hungry (you do have a sandwhich, don't you?).

There are several books which can take you along a structured path and many seem very good (my path was devoid of structure), if you wanted to go that way. If not, there's an exercise which seems boring and pointless, but is actually really useful (and can be cool). Take a couple sheets of paper and practice drawing lines. Make them straight and consistant, swoopy with varied line weight, thick and heavy, and thin and narrow, but make each line its own entity (not back and forth or sketchy). The first order of business in drawing is lines. When you get comfortable with the tools (lines), you can really concentrate on where they go, since giving them the approriate weight will come naturally. Take about 15 minutes a day to do nothing but line work (then draw what you want). It's a fairly good warm-up (like streching prior to running) and you'll be stunned in a couple weeks at how much better your drawings are.

You're on your way. I look forward to seeing your progress.

[HEROIC]

dogfood- thats a very good idea man, i didnt think drawing has a warm up too. lol

i think i got what u said, its a very good suggestion, i got some books, but im gonna go to library again and check out for more.
can u plz draw an example of the warm up as you said, for da lines, and upload it. So i'll be sure i undrestood the right thing.

[softdrawer]

I recognized Alex immediately.

huh?

-------------------------

Hey, yeah it's good to see that you want to learn.. and you're getting there man. Kepp on doing the same, analyse all the time.. ask yourself some questions as how to create good illusions and how to reander things so they look real. Push always.. get books of professionals and try to find out why they do it in certain ways and what does it give to them. How is it a good technique and how they manage to succeed with it. There are soo many alternatives and options to creation that you can achieve. Just so as much as you can, at one point you'll find your own style/technique and point of interest, then you'll know what you wanna do in school (Sheridan perhaps or any of your other choices).

Just try to always find drawing fun and creative.. if you ever feel down and think you cant create anymore, youre wrong.. theres -always- stuff to draw no matter what. You could draw the same figure over 10000 times and the 10001th time it'd be better and you would of learned something new. trust me. Great artists have been drawing since ever and keep on doing it. It's a matter of finding your passion in art, a goal perhaps. Then everything else comes into place by itself.

Hope that helps a bit,

If you have any more specific questions..

[Goodbye..fromthevoid]

damn I'm jealous. Well keep up the good work or whatever the hell is working for you....

[draw]

I see the difference bro, you changing for the better. Life drawing is the bomb it helps heaps along with anatomy and loomis/hogarth/bridgman - basically anything that teaches you the structure. But bringing it back to real life is where it at. keep it up.

[Goodbye..fromthevoid]

Life drawing is the bomb it helps heaps

sometimes for some people...sometimes nothing helps.

just wanted to squash the dreams of young children everywhere.

[Shylone_Breath]

hi !
sorry it's long time to no reply on your thread .
your anatomy is very good ! but when your draw without ref take more care about proportion
promise, i check your thread more often

[Sopor+Aeternus]

heh it s funny to see someone who has the same anatomy book as I have ( the one of Burne Hogarth)
only, man you really have studied a lot of that book neh?
I still have to start reading it, before I study it
just like everyone sais: great improving with your studies!

[SirGreenSock]

Haha, revived this old thing.

Man, you've gotta clean your room, almost as messy as mine!
The character you're designing is showing more improvement, could still use more details to bring out the personality though!

[HEROIC]

MORE STUFF FOR TMR O_O

[HEROIC]

dont have time to edit the life drwaing ones.. gotta go to work

[blacky]

Nice work,
you're like a scetch factory. That's cool. Like those you did with pen (or ink?).
Cuz its got much contrast to it (which in turn emphasizes your good linework).
Have you tried doing scetches in color though?
Just grab some watercolour paper and start drawing with some brush (without prescetching) That sort of stuff has been fun to me. So just as an Idea. Might work out for you too...

Cheers.

[SirGreenSock]

Subway sketches look good, you're really improving with your life observations. Can't wait for you to post the life drawing session stuff!
