    obi-one sketchbook - last update 17 sept 07

    first post on ConceptArt

    I've never been to any art class, I'm just drawing for myself, because I do enjoy it a lot.
    I don't use any refs for my drawing, I'm just trying to learn by watching other's drawing.







    the next two are inspired by a manga called : Saint seya - knights of the zodiac





    I would like to have comments and critics on how I can improve.

    Hi man.
    Nice start on your sketchbook here.
    The last to is looking very nice, good line work and a solid anatomy.
    Some of the others have slight problems with that, too long arms, too short leg and stuff - but it seems to be easy fixed. The shading is nice on the helmetdude on the first drawing - keep that up
    Anyhow, keep working and good luck. (btw using others drawing is ref to )

    thanks for the comments

    Fellah. > I think one of my major problem are the legs. I use to draw them to short. I have to work on that. I don't see it when I'm drawing , but once scanned on my computer, it's what I see the first.

    hypocalvin > I know for the feminine pose, it's not great, but I like the overall proportions on this one.


    I'll try to scan some more of my work and post them soon.

    little update

    This one is a bit older than the previous. I found it more difficult to draw girls, so I don't do it very often.



    here's an ather one



    and I try to learn how to color some of my sketchs, so here's the result :



    hope you like

    crits and comments are always welcome.

    You have good tonal value in your pictures, but i noticed that you mentioned that you do not use reference. I recommend that you start using them just for the poses, don't draw the exact picture , but pictures of athletes jumping and punching will really help from keeping your characters stiff.

    I don't get how you can not be different. You're figures look like they're drawn by a thousand other noobs on the site. For goodness sake. How do you do it

    thanks for the comments

    Mrdes > you're right for the arms. At the beginning of the drawing, they were not supposed to be in those positions..

    Mr. Visions > I'll try to draw more moving figures, cause you're right to. I've a hard time drawing them.

    Mark Aguilar > Sometimes I search for good ref, but I rarely find what I want. But I never search athletes pictures. I'll give it a try.

    blog > I'm sorry, I've read your comment a lot of time, and don't understand the meenig of it. My English is not that great.

    Lot of work is waiting for me.

    today's one


    I have tried to draw figures out of the "pose shell".

    This is some awesome stuff dude but there is one thing that keeps nagging at me. The legs, on alot of the pieces you've got here the legs seem a bit short, I mean obviously it's intentional on some of them but sometimes it just seems out of proportion. Other than that fantastic stuff, look forward to seeing more.

    Your work is great and displays a lot of imagination ( and that's not a euphemism!)
    The skeletal robot-esque head is a fabulous design ( Gen. Grevious as he should have been?)
    The ogre with bark paldrons...are you sure that's non ref ?
    The artillery mech from October post...looks functional and well constructed.
    Rocking skull dungeon concept.
    Burgeoning professionalism evident in all of these, and most importantly they do what good concept art should...not to be glossy designs or figures with edgy poses but working designs that inspire creativity in others.
    Your strongest human figures are the ones where you've economized the lines and constructed the forms geometrically, like the cloaked figure from yesterday's post. I find emphasizing the geometry of even curved forms helps heighten the illusion of volume. The best way to tackle human eyes is economy and suggestion, especially when working with small scale sketches and drawings. I like to emphasize the folds of skin of the eyelids and exagerate the recession of the eye in the orbital of the skull, and create as much contrast between the light and dark values as possible while keeping everything in proportion. With eyes, full figures and small working surfaces, less is more.

    don't really have time for drawing in the past months, but I'll have more soon.

    here's a bunch of sketchs












    my first acrylic painting (pld: ). And I'm quite happy with it. It could be better, but I've learn a lot in doing this one.

    Wow, what an improvement since the start. Excellent imagination stuff. i agree with the legs being iffy in the earlier posts, but your definately been listening to the crits and you are really nailing the anatomy lately. Really like some of these, good inspiration.. keep up the good work ;-)

    I like this SB. You have improved loads since it started. I dig the dragon head and the leather-clad figure in #52. It's terrific how much you've learned on your own; now I think you should start practicing from reference, such as photos and anatomy books. Some anatomy studies would help you improve greatly and take your work to a new level. Great character designs!

    RandAlThor > Thanks. Yes I think the legs were really the first part of my work I needed to fix.

    Chris Noeth > Thanks

    Piranha Clan > Thanks. I know I should practice from references, but I usually start drawing quickly when I have something in mind, and not trying to find reference and then draw.


    For today, an sketch done for the COW 81: Yellow BloodSucker

    don't have update in a while, because I was doing some 3d stuff.

    So here are some character concepts, and 3d render of low-poly stuff.

    here's a big update for today.

    as i was reading the last book of the Harry Potter series, I was inspired to draw a few concept of deatheaters and of the dark lord himself. maybe I'll give It a try in 3d if I found the time.

    there's also some other sketches, and at the end a 3d low-poly model that I exported in the Oblivion game.
