Cool, just checking. I like that you're varying the time on them! It's good practice! (and something I need to do more myself!!!)

Your digital pieces are getting stronger all the time.

well heres some of the continueing part of 1-60
not all of those I have drawed, cause my camera runned out of battery and I kinda hurried, so some of the were blurry so I sorted em out, post em in next round

heres those 7 who didnt came out blurry!

(I have 29 now

and online i have 16 I try to post rest of em when I come home tonight, or in the morning!)

Hey Dile! Cool stuff. In the Zbrush hand, I noticed the thumb is a little far up. Look at your own hand to see how it connects to the wrist. Keep those studies up and good luck!

Edit- Woah, you updated while I was typing. That last update looks good! Your anatomy is definately improving. Keep it up!

**Dile_** · April 9th, 2006, 09:55 AM

Cup of joe : Yeah I see, since that was the 2:nd thing i did in Zbrush I didnt had
100% of controll..

but thx for adviceing!

Kais:I missed your post

It have to be something with the updates to do.. I gotta press F5 twice next time

About assignment: I wrote "assignment" like with two of those *"* so I didnt really meant assignment.. but like little self competition

**stine** · April 9th, 2006, 01:05 PM

hi! thanks for stopping by in my book. nice progress you show here, especially the anatomy is coming along, last post looks really good. and the zbrush arm is impressive!

**Dile_** · April 9th, 2006, 01:42 PM

I kinda draw by Topic on those last ones

hers 3 more.

**xoet** · April 9th, 2006, 03:30 PM

once back in the early ninties around 91 i did a series of can opener studies sorta like the next step after soup cans it is things like that that will improve your art i know it improved mine I like the glasses you did

**Dile_** · April 9th, 2006, 03:46 PM

I wasn't born when you did that serie

But thx, I guess

**Dile_** · April 9th, 2006, 04:26 PM

**Darktwin** · April 9th, 2006, 10:13 PM

Oh man, I really like this last one, great speed painting, really awesome improvements all around, also its really cool that your jumping into zbrush. Keep drawing and that will only help your zbrush skills flurish. Keep up the good work

**Dile_** · April 10th, 2006, 05:30 AM

Rolo: Thx for trying to help, but I think i have tons of other anatomy books
that I think are better than those Manga/anime tutorials. (nothing wrong with manga, but I try to learn the way the old masters did, or those who are Pro!
Hogarth, Bridgeman, you name it, not some random artist who have put an
tutorial tuturial togehter in 10 minutes..)

Darktwin: Thx I kindaa messed the layers up, so I had to copy the backbackground, erease the white bg around it, then do another background.
so i really will think about to set all stuff in different layers later

**Dile_** · April 10th, 2006, 08:55 AM

Heres some digital figures

**Recursive_End** · April 10th, 2006, 09:05 AM

Hey Dile !
You got some cool stuff going one here.
I think you should put some more attention to the anatomy under the muscles. Make your lines more interesting.
Other than that, keep practicing !!!!!!!

D.

**Dile_** · April 10th, 2006, 09:38 AM

Under the muscles ? bones

?!?
Sure

Thx for your input.

**Dile_** · April 10th, 2006, 04:00 PM

eee.... I scanned those, now everything seems shit, and I lost alot of values.... Gotta buy a better Printer/Scanner.... all-in-one series sucks..
anyways... My mum bought a new sketchbook, since my 2 old ones wich I had in birthdaypresent is filled up with skit... damn 150 pages in a month

but I guess most if it is just alot of shit, and doddlings

but heres 3 more...

**ArcoNL** · April 11th, 2006, 03:02 AM

Hi Dile,
thanks for stopping by in my SB.
You a lot of dedication and hard work in your sketchbook. Keep it going!
Maybe a little piece of advice: think less in outlines, and more in shapes. You're outlining your drawings pretty heavily, but they don't show mass... The skeleton pose in your last drawing is wonderfull, hang on to that style.......

Cheers,
Arco

**xoet** · April 11th, 2006, 04:28 AM

how about a picture of a telephone that is my next series of sketches but your great I thought you were lying when you said you were 14 my mistake but that can opener series was given to me to do by an elderly artist who was an artist his whole life and probably dead now he said pick something that is just around the house and draw it a bunch of times there was the can opener and that is why I did the can opener pastels but it is a matter of style these days and that I don't have cause it seems all I do looks the same as I fall off the edge of reality

**Darktwin** · April 11th, 2006, 04:58 AM

Hey Dile, man your working hard like you said you would. keep doing the anatomy studies like your doing. Great hand page, your also doing a great job of mixing up the mediums, I'm horrible at that. I need to use my wacom damnit. I will, I will. Keep plugging away, mentler's hanging flesh page is a good source of anatomy studies here on concept art, Bridgeman is a great one I use a lot. There are many out there, to each there own you know. Your doing good. Like Arconal said remeber to see the underlying forms and shapes while drawing the contour of the figures. The way your drawing good, but take into consideration to shapes and how they relate.

**Dile_** · April 11th, 2006, 05:58 AM

ArcoNL: I see what you mean, Ill try to think more about the shapes.
And THX

xoet: I see your point

But I have a hard time to figure your thoughts out

(Is it good or bad that your thought I were lying about my age ? I am 14)
Darktwin: Always fun and good to read your advices!
I will check that Hanging flash link out, ASAP or as soon as I see mentler around on the forum

Heres a new one.. done tonight, so know im on 24/60

**dannE-B** · April 11th, 2006, 10:18 AM

hey dile nice work man. im really liking your last post, epsecially the page to the right..some interesting stuff going on there and i like the perspective drawing of the building with the steps,! !keep going! !

**Dile_** · April 11th, 2006, 02:03 PM

hey, thx prophet! I love your sketchbook!

Speedpaint: 30 minutes... i was desterved by some kids 5 and 7 years old :argh: so So I kinda just played with my brushes

Used Graphire on this one.

**Cold** · April 11th, 2006, 10:24 PM

on the second last one, with the fineliner, those buildings are top-nodge and kewl perspective. keep em coming.

**MattGamer** · April 12th, 2006, 02:43 AM

very nice sketchbook and paintings! your learning way fast and i admire you dedication to art. i myself am like any other artist, struggling to achieve a state of talent where i'm content in myself and knowing that my future is set. if you understand that, you can understand blabber.

anyhew... keep it up, as i can see you are... and i we all know how hard it is to paint/draw with little children around. that's why you make them color with you! haha

**Dile_** · April 12th, 2006, 05:12 AM

Cold: Thx, you will see many many more of them

(wondering how long I acctually can run this sketchbook, would be cool to see in some years

)
Mattgamer: Thx, Im trying

I understand, and yeah.. they were annoying those children

so I fixed the picture when I come home

**Dile_** · April 12th, 2006, 05:53 AM

Faust tried to learn me, and I try to get it

**~Faust~** · April 12th, 2006, 07:23 AM

Well, you seem to get the basic idea but you still have to practice (like I do, too haha)

I made a quick .wpe to show you the idea (It's not very fancy, but it's quick. Be quick, not fancy!): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9FF4OZTA

**Dile_** · April 12th, 2006, 07:39 AM

nice, I have the WPE from yesterday also

And of course i will practise! that was my first try !
(Setting up an website right now

)

**Dile_** · April 12th, 2006, 07:39 AM
