You've done some great job in this book of yers! Nice improvement - just use more contrast in your drawings and paintings and you'll be on your way to conquer the planet! Yeah and thanks for the kind comment in my sb.

The rendering of a scene of a comic idea I'm working on...

**comixnut** · July 20th, 2006, 04:14 AM

again, loving what i see. i feel like you are letting go and not really worrying about proportions even though you practice it, which is why i think i am ok with it. It's good to let go and enjoy what you do! *S* Keep it up man!

**voraz** · July 20th, 2006, 02:43 PM

Olá Pedro, obrigado. E como vai o teu trabalho em BD? Estou à espera de ver actualizações no teu sketchbook, as tuas linhas são mesmo boas, tens trabalhado nessa área?
Esse cadre corner é um estúdio? trabalhas lá?
Curiosidade
abraço

Some sketches for a comic:

**voraz** · July 21st, 2006, 04:21 AM

Hi, I sketched this from life, then I just add some quick watercolour colours from memory.

**comixnut** · July 21st, 2006, 04:52 AM

I honestly love this last piece. For awhile there i even forgot who's sb i was looking at and then i saw the flag and i was going 'hey isn't that..?"

Filipe obrigado pelas palavras (eu queria dizer comments mas o meu vocabulario e um desgosto). O cadre e um online estudio e eles convidaram-me para ser parte do estudio, mas eu continuo aqui em sydney. Se regressares ao meu sb veras uma personagem (e assim character) que faz parte da historia que estou a assombriar agora.

**voraz** · July 21st, 2006, 05:51 AM

PJ, yeah that's from my vacation in Algarve in the South, in Vila Real de Santo António, rigth during the World Cup fever, so there were flags everywhere!
I was thinking about doing a bigger version of this all in wtercolour, maybe I'll do it if I have time.

Hey voraz. Lots and lots of sketches and work here. Who needs replys when you post so often, you've filled up your 3 pages with a lot of work. i enjoyed looking through your sketchbook, shows good improvement and determination. Keep it up and keep posting.

**voraz** · July 21st, 2006, 10:29 AM

Thank Prophet. Actually there are much less thing i here now, because I removed lots of old stuff, leaving only the pieces I liked more. I had to relieve the sketchbook, it was really really heavy and took lots of time to load. I think now there is less than 1/3 of what was here before.
This sketchbook has been a very effective way of keeping me working as much as possible and keeping me motivated. Since I haven't studied arts, and that i don't work in arts. This sketchbook and the whole CA has kept my motivation to keep on doing stuff (it has also taken many time that I could have used in drawing in painting to just be around in CA, spending here way much time than I should).
Sometimes it is disappointing because I feel i get few replies but then again I just think I'll have to get better and at some point I'll start having more interesting stuff and will get more replies.
That or I'll just join a SSG!

Cheers

These were done as a final project for a workshop of scientific illustration. They have been exposed in the Museum of Natural History in Lisbon, in a exibit from this and past workshops students.
i have posted this in the final finished section but since they weren't considered good enough to be there and were put out I'm putting it here too.

They're watercolour and a little digital edition.

**voraz** · July 25th, 2006, 05:41 AM

Just a quick digitall painting to train, it was done from a picture, took about 50 min and it doesn't look like the person I was portraing. I sampled some colours from the photo.

EDIT: I am seing this in another monitor and it looks too dark!

**oma** · July 25th, 2006, 05:55 AM

i like your watercolours.

And i see improvement. Love those bugs.

**voraz** · July 25th, 2006, 07:15 AM

Thanks oma!
cheers

**voraz** · July 25th, 2006, 07:22 PM

digital painting study, about 1 hour, I am not happy with it but the idea was to practise some more painting. No ref...

**lefran** · July 26th, 2006, 02:15 PM

thanks for stopping by my SB =] youve made a good improvement, theres a nice variety here too, i like the loosness of this sketch, =] http://img468.imageshack.us/img468/6...96060012mu.jpg

**voraz** · July 27th, 2006, 03:59 AM

Hi lefran, thanks!

This is a sketch I did last night, didn't have much time, I did it in about 20' in my graphic tablet, the main objective was to try and do some good lines in it, but they still come out very funky. The figure in the left had a little more work.

**voraz** · July 28th, 2006, 04:13 AM

some sketches for comic characters:

**comixnut** · July 29th, 2006, 06:18 AM

Finally something i can help you with!

http://img479.imageshack.us/img479/1...06001upwz1.jpg
Any time you want to ink, just remember (i guess just like in the pencils) about the form underneath. It makes no difference if you are using aball point pen, or a nib or a brush neither!

So in the head for example, those lines shouls have followed the 'roundness' of the head to give it form. You kinda did it with the arms though so that's a good start. *S* Keep it up man. It sucks that they kicked your bugs out of the finished section but i am glad to see them in here because they rock. Cheers!

**Dile_** · July 29th, 2006, 07:34 AM

Nice stuff!
My advice is to practise the human proporations more, cause they
are sometimes very off, but keep it up! Good work man

**voraz** · July 29th, 2006, 07:07 PM

comixnut- hey PJ thanks for the advice, yeah I know what you mean I actually stopped inking it because the head was really bad and I lost interest. Thanks for the crit, glad to hear it especially from a guy like you that makes such good lines!

And thanks!

Thanks Dile, yes i have to work more in the proportions, I think it comes out allrigth when I use ref, but most of the time I just don't and it notices and I end up doing the same errors on and on... gotta change that!

Cheers

I'm going to scan someting so i can keep the daily updating that is going on since the 23rd of July!

**voraz** · July 29th, 2006, 07:14 PM

That was fast, rigth?

**comixnut** · July 29th, 2006, 09:26 PM

See the guy in the middle? he looks like you erased all 'classic noob' feelings from th drawing so that he looks really good, proportions as well as the head shape (big noob area is the head). He looks totally different from the other 2 that are flanking him. Whatever you did with the middle guy keep doing it!
