sorry double post

**Unbreakable** · October 11th, 2006, 11:42 PM

**Unbreakable** · October 13th, 2006, 10:23 PM

here are more studies, that no cares about

hp · October 14th, 2006, 01:36 PM

watch the width of your 3/4 faces...IMO they could just be a teeny bit fatter. nice interior, coulda made it look more 3d but it's ok

and IMO the green in your environ should be toned down, at least in the bg.

here it is

watch the lengths of your arms and how they bend and how they connect into the torso. the guy with his arm out wearing the armor on the bottom left...kinda looks like we're looking at his back. or maybe we are. i dunno.

more action poses!!!!!! don't let them stand around!

**Unbreakable** · October 25th, 2006, 02:34 AM

here is what i did over the weekend wanted to break in the new moleskine. there is a mixture of life drawings, studies from ref, a just stuff from my head.

Thanks Hp - I will work on all of that.

**arechiga_tony** · October 29th, 2006, 01:57 AM

Good Job Homie!!

**Unbreakable** · November 1st, 2006, 04:20 AM

here is some of the stuff i did this past week.

hp · November 1st, 2006, 10:21 AM

like the animal study...maybe watch how the tails coming out of the body. as for the paintings before this post...on the study you are using some diff colors but it seems on the face you're just using different lights and darks of the same color...so it looks flat.

**Ryan DeMita** · November 1st, 2006, 01:13 PM

cool work in this sb! you've been pretty productive. i love the quick thumbnails studies. the figures are looking pretty good. try to find some more dynamic poses. it seems you are focusing on the design of the character and their costume/ ect which is really great, the next step i guess is putting them in action. keep working harder.

take care
-ryan

**Unbreakable** · November 1st, 2006, 07:11 PM

Hp- thanks and yeah my painting skills/understanding of color is definitely a weakness
Ryan- working on that now man

here is some fun with a pen. I'll have more later tonight.

**Unbreakable** · November 3rd, 2006, 04:13 PM

here is my first real environment painting. Crit the heck out of it. Gotta keep pushing this painting thing. So I'm going to try and get something up everday. Hopefully

hp · November 3rd, 2006, 05:14 PM

the shapes are blocked in yet not all the lines are sharp...so the clean look to the environ is kind of not even in the entire picture....also i think you really could add a lot more subtle colors to it so that it still looks mostly monochromatic but has more interesting things here and there for the viewer to look at.

i'm not really sure what's going on and the perspective looks a little off...

on one hand, i see the buildings and go, wtf is that for...is it all aesthetic or does it have a purpose...but then again i don't really involve myself enough to want to think about it. if you know what i mean. it's too empty for me.

don't wanna be mean...^^

i do like the designs in it...very original IMO but you could push this so much more with a few more hours.

**Unbreakable** · November 3rd, 2006, 11:07 PM

Hp- I don't worry about sounding mean, just make sure it is constructive and it won't bother me a bit.

oh could you do a paintover on that last one for me ?

here is a start of something new.

**Unbreakable** · November 4th, 2006, 10:26 PM

here is some new stuff. studies as usual

**Unbreakable** · November 6th, 2006, 06:26 AM

**stalsby** · November 6th, 2006, 03:35 PM

**Unbreakable** · November 6th, 2006, 07:18 PM

Stalsby- thanks man means a lot.

**Unbreakable** · November 7th, 2006, 12:45 PM

here are some head studies that i told a friend i would do. working on my 3/4 view.

**Unbreakable** · November 7th, 2006, 04:26 PM

here is a clown guy sort of.... was reading hp's comments about how people paint noses red a lot here lately and decided to do this.

**arechiga_tony** · November 7th, 2006, 11:26 PM

dude thats AWESOME !!!! GOOD JOB!!!!

hp · November 8th, 2006, 09:42 AM

yeah that last one is really good!!!

do you have a tablet?

cuz if you do...then on your post 109, you need to refine your pressure settings

the lines just look really jaggedy but not in a texture kind of way.

**Unbreakable** · November 15th, 2006, 01:47 AM

TOny- thanks
Hp- thanks and check

here is some stuff from this week. I have mostly been doing figure studies and i don't think that anyone wants to see all of those things.

**Fishspawn** · November 15th, 2006, 02:05 AM

Hey unbreakable, nice sketchbook you have going here. Lots of improvement. I like the way you do faces and costumes. One thing i've noticed is that you really like detail, and you like to go into it as soon as possible. Try to resist this urge. Always think about your whole composition, and block in an entire drawing with mostly correct proportions before you even think about detail. Then, after you've put in your details, go back and check the big picture again for value/proportion accuracy. I think you can pull off a lot better work than you're doing if you just focus more on the big picture.

For example, on your latest enviro you started in color, and you started putting detailed shadows on the rocks before putting in other rocks. Try starting in black and white with very large brushes to get a good composition, and good overall values and dynamic lighting on the rocks. Then put a color layer over that and move into smaller and smaller details. And it's not just in your enviro, i notice that rush for detail in almost all of your work.

Keep up the good work, especially the life drawing, you're improving alot!

hp · November 15th, 2006, 09:16 AM

i don't know what kind of marker or pen you are using but for the second page of the last post - the one with the bold lines, you need to have some thinner and thicker lines...line variety. need more confidence in them too...i don't mind the searching lines you use for your drawings but the fact is, they're searching lines to help you find the shape...there is no reason to have "searching lines" with a inkover. i'm not sure what is behind the armor...feathers or hair or more armor...either way i think a client will look at that and think you have a very unsteady and unsure hand.
