looks great !

one thing you can do is to look for photos of muscles, especially arms, they need some work, try to look at where muscles starts and ends !


a great post and i will drop by again for sure !


cheers !

c00l stuff * fires*

u can get some anatomybooks for learning stuff like that.. me recommends hogart.. he shows u how the skin flows around the bones.. he dont draw skin. which dont show u the muscles... but its what we have to know.. where the hack are my muscles

hogarth also indicates.. how the muscles are connectet with eachother.. he shows u how the muscles flow into eachother with lines.. its awesome.. i really learned almost evrything about where and what my muscle names are ... whith my hogart book

Arm studies!!!! More to come soon.....

[demeter_luna]

thumbnails I do to learn more about values and composition. These are mostly movie stills from LOTR. They range from 15-60 minutes

[demeter_luna]

Muscle studies
oops forgot the nipples!

[dymrus]

Hey,

Had to visit your sketchbook since you were nice enough to drop by mine. I like the stuff you have going on here, it seems that you are learning a lot of new things. It's nice to see people improve in these sketchbooks. Love the dog sketches.

Are you taking any life drawing classes? If not, consider them. I've been taking them for the last couple of months. A lot can be learned.

I guess I might see you at the montreal CA workshop.

Keep up the good work... nice to see some locals on here.

[demeter_luna]

I haven't updated my sketchbbok in ages damn ! I realy had no time with me starting school and stuff... but I promise that during my xmas break I will scan in a shitload of pictures


here's 2 for now. I did these for homework for my observation drawing class
black and white conte on grey ingres paper
it took around 45 min each

This doesn't look too bad, the studies seem to pay off and you have some nice volume in your drawing. Your drawings are very tight, you might want to loosen them up sometimes, but it's not generally a bad thing I think.
Sometimes it's easy to lose track of where you are when you are studying, so you might feel like you aren't progressing, but it looks like you are doing well.

[demeter_luna]

Hi! long time no see!

I thought i would scan in some of my doodles since it's been so long.

Some of these sketches are for different projects for school (like the facial expressions are for my animation class). The woman with the dog is for another project an the thumbs with the different cities also.

critiques and comments are strongly encouraged!

thank you for viewing

[Sorknes]

Like your handstudies there. and the dog!

The thumbnails in the last update works good as well. Wish you'd work more on the painting with the throne, but I know how it is to go tired of a piece, heh.

[demeter_luna]

Hey Sork, thanks for dropping by i will definetely focus more on doing studies from now on. And that throne painting.... I just can't stand to look at it anymore


I felt like drawing some quick studies before going to bed... I wish i could attend life models regularly but for now I have to settle for pictures

i took references from this site http://www.characterdesigns.com/

under "photosets" you can find some pretty decent references for action poses




thses are no more than 10 min each

[demeter_luna]

Some doodles I drew in class

[demeter_luna]

Hey! I know it's been a while but I will post more often from now on.
Critiques are always very welcome

Here are landscape sketches that I did for practice. I tried to get all the colors and mood right while looking at a picture.

[demeter_luna]

the first image is a matte painting I did at school and the second one is a photo montage I did for fun.

[Jesus Food]

lovin the white conte peices luna! ur sketchbook is great so far

[demeter_luna]

A color study.

[demeter_luna]

This is a color study from the movie "La citee des enfants perdus". That movie is amazing for it's use of colors and its mood.

[pauscorpi]

i really love the mood in the church piece

and the photomontage is awesome

[demeter_luna]

pauscorpi : thanks alot

another color study from the movie "la citee des enfants perdus". This one took longer and there are still many mistakes.

[Sharyl Chow]

*Stalks, put more stuff!

[demeter_luna]

Hey love! how have you been?
Here one just for you


Another color study from a picture

[demeter_luna]

This is a color study I guess. I should learn once and for all what a human face looks like.
~1 hour

[demeter_luna]

It's been quite some time since I posted!
Here's my attempt at posting more often

[demeter_luna]

[demeter_luna]

This is another attempt to draw every day

[HarbingerofIllRepute]

: DDDD
Yay Luna! :>
Keep up the pace!

[demeter_luna]

Thanks Harbinger! Long time no see how are you?

yay 3 days in a row
Just a small color study for now

[Setherial]

really interesting seeing the difference between your older work and your current work. There's some really nice stuff in your sketchbook, you should post more often. I love the guy with the sunglasses and cigarette on page 2, nice shading and abstraction. As it was done in 2005 I would love to see you do something simular with your current skillset.

thanks Setherial, I feel my style has changed many times in the last years and I'm not sure if I would be able to recreate something similar to that sketch. But it's well worth the try
I also plan to draw every day and keep improving and that also means posting more often Thanks so much for stopping by, your encouragement adds more fuel to my fire.


Here is today's totally random and unplanned brain fart:
