*MARCH 14th* Sean Donaldson's Book Of Sci-Fi Juicyness :D SQUISH!

**Saturns Gate** · January 19th, 2006, 11:45 PM

Hi Guys,

I was contemplating what i should draw next for my personnel sketchbook and had a brain overload of things that i need to commit to memmory.

''Commit to memmory? What the hell are you talking about!?''

Well i find it so much easier to rememmber how things look just from drawing them over and over again as im sure you understand, being a concept artist you need these skills at some point in your career. I mean sure if i was asked to draw a helicopter for instance i could do one off the top of my head, but if they wanted more details then the basic shape then i would be pretty stumped. So i hope to ultimately have a nice portfolio of all round images to show clients and more importantly use to rememmber what things look like!

I hope thats clear and understandable, sorry if my grammer isnt perfect. It isnt one of my strong points so im told.

So this is where you come in, all i ask is that you reply with a word so i can go off and draw my brains out, please have words such as objects, body parts, the whole body, trees, leaves etc. Words that are objects in general, not something like 'hope', 'fear' etc.

The first person to post a word will get my full attention. So please dont flood this thread with words if im trying to finish the first one. Wait untill im done and posted.

Im just dyeing to get drawing! So please hurry and TRAIN MY BRAIN!!!

Thankyou.

Hands.

**Saturns Gate** · January 20th, 2006, 12:03 AM

Thankyou MrBob!

----PLEASE NO MORE SINGLE WORDS UNTILL I POST NEXT----

**Saturns Gate** · January 20th, 2006, 07:57 AM

Well heres my go at drawing hands!

Thanks MrBob for posting, hope there too your satisfication. Drawn on an A3 piece of paper with a 2B pencil only.

Most of these hands, fingers etc were from my own left hand. Some angles i had to get from good photos and Loomis books etc.

Bring on the next word people!!

**Morbid** · January 20th, 2006, 08:01 AM

Nice studies!
Another word: Eyes.

**Saturns Gate** · January 20th, 2006, 08:10 AM

Cheers Morbid, ill try and get those done for tonight!

---PLEASE DO NOT POST ANOTHER WORD UNTILL I COMPLETE EYES!---

*Allthough you may comment etc*

**Saturns Gate** · January 21st, 2006, 05:16 AM

Well, heres the eyes Morbid! Hope ya like!

I actually thought these were going to be easier then drawing hands...funny that. It just goes to show anything can surprise you. Just for some variety i felt like adding in some animal eyes along with human...i enjoyed drawing the animal eyes much more then human, probably because there different and a bit more interesting.

Oh yeah, sorry bout the smear down the middle, i had to scan in two halves so it left a funny mark. Try to ignore it please.

OK! Whats the next mystery word for today!!!

**Kresh** · January 21st, 2006, 05:17 AM

upper torso male and female. nice stuff.

**Saturns Gate** · January 21st, 2006, 05:20 AM

Excellent word!

I think im gonna have fun on this next one! NICE ONE Kresh!! Woohooo!!!

**Saturns Gate** · January 21st, 2006, 05:28 AM

Oh yeah, and by the way, whats everyones fav style of drawing from those two i posted? A more linear type like the hands...or the more renderd look?

Thanks!

**sabe2003** · January 21st, 2006, 05:31 AM

Great work, and idea. They are both great for different reasons.

**Saturns Gate** · January 21st, 2006, 05:53 AM

Wow Sabe, you have some amazing life drawing on your website. Very well done on them!

Good stuff

**Vive la décadanse** · January 21st, 2006, 08:00 AM

a fish

**Saturns Gate** · January 21st, 2006, 10:32 AM

Sorry Vive, someones allready said a word before you. You have to wait untill im finished that one then i will take words.

Thanks.

**Qxzi** · January 21st, 2006, 11:11 AM

A fantastic idea, wow i wish i thought of it. And also great drawings, keep it up man and ill be back, very interesting ! ! !

**Mike Frank** · January 21st, 2006, 12:19 PM

Hey good drawings man, keep it up. I think both the linear style and rendered style have a good look, working them both would be a good call. Maybe you could have people suggest style also?

**brokk** · January 21st, 2006, 12:30 PM

SeanyD, this is a great idea!
Keep an eye for the proportions, on the hand studies, the hand that is on the far top-right corner with the fingers shaped like a scissor, the index finger looks about the same length as the middle finger, it should be a tad shorter.
Other than that small nit pick just to say keep that stuff in mind, you are doing great! These studies look cool and again, fantastic idea.

Cheers

EDIT: If I may suggest just an idea, you could try to do each word study in a day or few days. I'm saying this because you might start to get more words faster than you draw each batch, so maybe if you state that there will be one word for one day, people could wait until the next day to suggest. Maybe in a day you have more time, you can take on more than one word. Again, just an idea, cheers again : )

**fooxoo** · January 21st, 2006, 12:30 PM

Hey Sean! Good start. Cool studies! Keep it up n post more!

**MrBobMarley** · January 21st, 2006, 11:48 PM

Awesome! Keep this up man. I hope you can handle the pressure hehe. Looking forward to the torsos.

**Saturns Gate** · January 22nd, 2006, 12:04 AM

Wow, thankyou for all your kind words!

I was surprised to see so many people commenting! Brought a smile to my face

Broken Spirit :

Thankyou for your constructive critisism! I will have to change that finger you spotted soon enough! It only takes one bad drawing to let your whole portfolio down at the end of the day so thankyou a ton!

Also, i did write at the start to only post 1 word then wait untill i complete the next drawing. No worrys that you missed that.

Its been really busy for my this weekend with university work and all, i have an assignment to hand in for next week so i have to keep torsos on hold for a day or two. Hope thats understandable, i have to put my university as a top priority. Thanks again and see you in the next update very soon!

**Aremah** · January 22nd, 2006, 09:09 AM

Sexy chicks. Everyone needs sexy chicks in their sketchbook.

(Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. The important thing is that you draw whatever, but keep drawing.

)

**Saturns Gate** · January 27th, 2006, 04:55 PM

hey guys and girls!

Well, thats my finished with university assignments for quite a while thank bloody god! So apologies for the delay in this Train my brainer! Please dont think its cause i was slacking, i was up to my ears in work i can tell ya!

Well, without further ado, heres the upper male and female body study, if you can call it a study, i think i need more time and different angles if im going to have a more in depth study then this, but at least it shows i try.

I wish i had more time in class to draw the skeleten they had in, so one view is all you get for now. Hope ya like them.

OK BRING ON THE NEXT WORD!!!

(Sorry to the guys that posted words after Kresh's Torso word, but the rules are the rules...you just have to be lucky and get here as soon as i post the next drawing THEN say the word

)

Thanks for the comments so far!

**Saturns Gate** · January 27th, 2006, 05:43 PM

Hmm, anyone got a word for me please

**AshestoAshes** · January 27th, 2006, 07:02 PM

how about a chick rockstar? not really a study but would still be pretty sweet.

**Ledd** · January 27th, 2006, 07:29 PM

Smart Head...Do some head that show confidence and a person who has incredible QI. .. Use all your creativity too show this personality ...

**thirdeye** · January 27th, 2006, 07:45 PM

Beautiful studies man, really really gorgeous. I'd love to see some drawings from imagination.

**Saturns Gate** · January 28th, 2006, 03:29 AM

Ok, im going to veer off the rules for this one then.

Ashes to Ashes : I will do your rockstar chick on half the page made up from memmory and maybe digitally coloured

.

Ledd : And for you i will do some smart heads on the other page, not coloured.

This might take a few days so be patient please. Thanks!

--NO MORE WORDS PLEASE UNTILL I POST NEXT--

(Crits and comments are still welcome)

**Qxzi** · January 28th, 2006, 11:06 AM

Like the torso study, keep it up

Qxzi

**Saturns Gate** · February 5th, 2006, 01:05 PM

hey guys and girls!

Sorry if it seemed like forever for this piece of work, ive been busy trying to sort out tickets for Animex (Computer graphic festival in England), but as you can see i have been doing the requests in my spare time as promised

I kind of bent the rules on this one in that i diddent do Intelligent looking character heads, i just couldent resist making them all look as ugly as hell haha! Hope you dont mind that too much. Ignore the robot skull thing in the middle, dont know what was going though my brain when i thought that up.

Its hard to see but the rock star woman has chains for hair and the bionic legs i think need more work so maybe a more mechanical study next time? *wink wink* Allthough tottaly up to you guys.

BRING ON THE NEXT WORD GUYS!!

**Saturns Gate** · February 5th, 2006, 01:31 PM

Oh and also, if everything goes ok and i get the ticket tomorrow for Animex ill post the photos i take on here if your at all interested!
