Enthombed´s Sketchbook

[AztcFireFlower]

Hey,
Just checked your latest pages. I have to say the hands studies are looking real good. I'm understanding the mechanics of that appendage, as well.
We got some good studying up ahead.

[monotony]

wow, sketches on the last page look really good, you're improving a lot!
I like the handstudies, too. and the faces look a lot better in your last update.
your rendering looks a bit rushed at times, not giving enough credit to linework that looked pretty good already. take your time.
and now you better update, last one's been way too long ago!

[Jorge Gecov]

You are doing a cool progress!

[My57]

just work on your anatomy from reference more and thats about it. you'll get good from your head pretty fast soon.

[enthombed]

hey people, sorry for this long time without updates, i really sorry because i give up a long time and start again with drawings and trying again, this time with help of my wife, he´s giving so much love and force to cotinue this journey in my try out to be a better artist, or something like that, lol.

I´m drawing a lot but i haven´t yet a scanner, and now i´m living in other city (bye bye Manaus and helloooo Curitiba), big metropole with various artists and cool people, and now i´m back inspired again.

I woke up this thread because needs to show something and get some feedback from you people, i have stopped but i am back.

I think my english is better because i have doing some englsh classes, this is good because now i can read the other post better than 2 years ago, humm are you guys understand my english or i am wiriting nothing with nothing? lol.

Wheel i bought one new tablet today when i´m going to work and make this to you and try to post some digital stuff and trying next month buy one scanner (like the scratch sound of the pencil in the paper, but i like much more the sound of the scanner working, lol).

30 minutes, i think, maybe i will finish this one.

[enthombed]

Hi people, i´m back and trying again, sorry for this drawings, i haven´t scanner yet, but i get this with my digital camera, i will try to next time a better scanned picture of my drawing.

I hope you guys give some feedback, and thank you for visit this thread.

Cheers

[enthombed]

Some updates,i haven´t scanner yet people, sorry the quality of them, i hope buy one nex month.

Cheers

Hi Icaro,
I agree with SprayNation. I would give the same advice.
Construction is important as is gesture. And I agree, you can explain alot with just line in simple overlaps and shapes. Until this 2 D lay-in with line works, rendering won't help explain your drawing.
All marks that you put in last should explain the marks that you put in first. Drawing from masters like Bridgman will also give you a library of lines to design a figure with. Keep studying Brdgman, Loomis for anatomy, proportions as well as design. Also keep in mind symmetry, especially in the face. Eric Gist is an excellent guy to study from, too. See how he connects his gesture lines to pick up different sections of the body.

You are working hard. With a bit of specific focus on basics, your concept characters will take on a different level. More power to you and your studies.

Hi People, back again, sorry forthis long time without posts, i am trying to cotinue but i haven´t a scanner and this frustate me a lot, but i´m starting all over again and i am don´t stop now.

I hope put something here between two nights or everynight, now i´m focusing in Bringman ans Loomis, their books and reference is easy to find in internet and some bookstores in my country.

This week i will focus my skills in hands and understand his mechanims.

Cheers

Sorry people i don´t know why my pictures doesn´t appear here, i try to post again.

[Kfeeras]

great progress!! The important thing is that you focus on proportion and anatomy rahter than rendering. Thats if you dont have much time to draw like me ;.) then its important to focus on one thing.
Draw your own hand a 100 times in a week and you'll be much further. Dont forget to draw the hand from your mind, too. It helps you to memorize it much faster.
And draw a lot from life, at cafes or at the subway. It trains your quick memory and sketching ability

[enthombed]

AztcFireFlower: Hey, thanks for com here and say something about and show me the direction to start all over again, i will try to see what is wrong and trying with the help of all the people who try help. i will get back and see the old sugestions, and try to fix this things in my style, thanks again, cheers.

Kfeeras: Hey man, yes i study when i have time, but every time i make some little studies in the border of my nootebook, book or some sheets of paper in my my work, hum.. i thinking i´m getting the idea about the hands, i will try on 100 hands next week beside the studies in orther things, maybe i can do it maybe note, but i will try... why not?? Thanks for share and visit here.

Ok people more hands, i haven´t time to study, but i´m studing, seriously.

Critiques and Comments are wellcome.

Cheers

[enthombed]

Ok more hands nex week torso and studies about this body part.

Thanks for visit and see this.

Cheers

[enthombed]

hi people, I am back again ans start something new to me and trying with this start to see the things who I need, forms, flow, anatomy, I really need start to not thinking in one thing but in all parts. I see one difficult in me, I need more duty with my studies, now I am stoping 2 or 3 hours per day (in the weekends is better because I have nothing to do, , in this case i expend 4-5 hours) just to draw and train myself to be better than i am now. I hope this help me and you guys critique me please, and show me the right decisions or the right path, or someting like that.

Well let´s show what i did yesterday night in 2 hours, sorry is this is a little, but I will stop to put just trainnig stuff and now try to put some new stuff here, some stuff i will working with the site POSEMANIACS, a great place that Eric Spraynation told me sometime ago, Thanks Eric , a drawing by reference from the site FINEART and some hand studies from Bridgman I think my hands are be better than before.



Cheers

[zulu]

great studies man, your are going in the right direction, pay more attention in the structure , do some reference studies and draw some still life, ill sit here and wait for more updates, cheers!!!!

[VirgL]

woah, someone here is dedicated, just checked the last 4 pages, big amount of improvement, i agree with the others about spending less time on the rendering, however i think rendering also trains your brain with form and structure since you need to think about those when placing your values. Cant give any crits, ill try to do as much studies as you do and run hide somewhere

[enthombed]

zulu - Thanks for share some knowlegment with me man, I am really trying a lot, now I am paying more attention in the structure, i get some referente from the links who you send to me in MSN, thanks for that chat my friend, I hope pay your beers that i promise to you,

WhiteC - Thanks for stop here in this thread and leave some words, yes, I will listen more and pratice more the line, for this new beggining I will train more my structure of the body´s parts in week, and I hope in 5 weeks draw the human body, I am using some good references who AztecFireFlower told me to use, Bringman and Loomis, I am glad to find some pages of them at internet, but Iam using KChen knowlegment too, weel thanks agains for share some words again, keep posting bro!

Wheel this week is time to draw HEADS, I hope you like and comment too, Sorry for the bad qualityof this pictures, ihaven´t a scanner yet.

[hurricane]

You are doing great my friend. Just keep on drawing, try to think of what you are drawing instead of copying what you see. Not saying that is what you are doing.

Have you heard about an artist called Villpu? He has a really good way of drawing form. He explains things really well and I think you would benefit from listening to his advice.

Keep at it, you are progressing great

[enthombed]

Hurricane: Hi Bjorn, thank you for you visit, I trying this first step is how to construct better the parts, i will try to put this knowlegment in my drawings sometimes, I have never heard about Villpu, did he has a thread here? I will trying to find something from this person, Cheers

Ok people, more head studies, nex week torso stuff , I think next week i will try something neither the studies, I need a up to date my works, and I began to understand the proportion, i think that.

Thanks for visit and comment here people, have a nice weekend, i will cotinue drawing .

[enthombed]

Hi people some new updates, some studies, and some from reference, humm I think this was for fun, love to draw this stuff, now I feel better when draw than before.

Thanks for Wanimal for some pictures who he posted in his thread.

[Bushido]

You are doing great man!

Keep Working

[enthombed]

Ho there, how are you folks, I hope all of you are fine, I did a Cartoon to one comedy podcast of my country, some studies from Posemaniacs.com (great site!!), and the last page from my papers when i try to look to some people and underestand how the clothes of them works, hope you aprove this.

Cheers

[enthombed]

Hello world, Iam happy today, yesterday I found the most precious stuff to someone who need reference to study more anatomy.

I went with a friend to an Bookstor of old books here in my new City, and I fouded one book of Birdgman and one book of Loomis, damnit my day was perfect with this, now I have a lot of reference to study with my old book of Bridgeman, niceeeeee.


Well people, like I said last week, Some torso studies , hope you like this because I have fun doing this studies, I don´t know but I think start to percept how some parts od the body works (I hope has percepted this).

Critiques ans commentas are wellcome as allways

[enthombed]

Hi People, sorry I am late to post here, I get back my internet right now, the service was down this week, sorry for this, I am now trying new stuffs.

All from observation, I hope receive some critiques here.

Cheers

[enthombed]

Hi people, I am again here, sorry fot this pictures, I didn´t buy a scanner yet, sorry for that, I really think in stop to put some drawings because I haven´t one to put something here with a good quality to you saw, I hope you understand this.

Here the news drawings, i did some anatomy studies to understand the position of some back muscles, and some torso stuff, and I trying to do some drawings by reference to make my eyes better to proportions and begin to push my drawings.

I Hope you like and comment and thank for all the guys who come here and leave some words.

Cheers

Loomis in Portugues! That's just awesome. Icaros, you're dedication is inspiring me! Great work in here, great energy.
I will 2nd Hurricane's suggestion; as you study, think - What types of lines was Bridgeman using to describe a form. Example, where does he use overlaps, thicker lines.... Analyze how he draws volume.
This is the thinking process I use when I study any Master. How was there procedure different then mine.

Your copies are good. Many have nice flow.
I suggest finding a long line, if possible, to connect the flow from upper to lower body. I'm looking at the silhouette in these examples. I'm using your figures in the last image in post #265 as examples. Just suggestions to further push gesture.

Left Fig - You have a nice flow in front, chest to belly to crotch. Front leg also has a nice unity. You could even connect the back leg from the extended arm & rib to flow through to the front of leg all the way down.
Mid Fig - Focusing on the right side; arm flow line through rib, rib cage to leg, and from this point all the way to heel to toes. You can find the big gesture on the right side of this middle figure. One giant C curve. Sometimes if the figure doesn't have it, you can force it to flow (part of designing your drawing).
Right Fig - You could push (even if it feels like exaggeration) a nice S curve from left side - head & neck & rib down to crotch could be one C curve. Picking up right hip an leg which would then form a longer S curve throughout the body.

Anyway, keep adding to this powerhouse study thread. Doing a great job.

[enthombed]

AztcFireFlower Hi, thank you for stop here again and gave me some words of advice, Yeah!! I Have lucky this day beacuse I found more material to study, yes my wife told me smae thing, Iám very dedicate but need more advice and she saw here o one help, soo before have saw you response I have decided to stop posting here, but no... I will cotinue this or will die trying, lol , I start think in this lines and all the things since my return here, flow, movement, form, overlaps, but need more practice with this to see more and show more withmy drawings, I believe if I have one mentor or something like that to send this drawings and this person show me what need to improve it was great... oh well I will continue alone, but with people like you I think going to be a better artist, thank you for you support and friendship here, Cheers.

Hi people, I am back again with more stdies now with some studies of Vilppu, this master is great to teaching his skills, and I am learning a ot form this master, and off course some studies to see what I learned, and trying this time with some charcoal and sanguine (I fell like a artist with this media and sorry the shade, i can´t resist to do this, I NEED TO FOCUSING IN LINES, NEED DRAW ONLY LINES FOR THREE MONTHS, LOL) .

Critiques and Comments are wellcome.

[enthombed]

Yay , Hi people, Sorry I have just a little one page, this week and the next I will have final tests in my English Course, and I won´t get free time, I will need focus me in the content of the test, after this I will get three months of pure dedication to me and my drawings (I think will draw anything, off course, I can´t resist .

Thanks for comming here and leave some words .

Cheers

This time some studies about the face and skull, trying to understand the parts that make the face something personal to a drawing.

[Emil_J.]

Nice amount of studies!! - are you attending life-drawing classes? - if not, i think you really should, you learn tons !

keep it up
