Torso and legs. About 40cm tall. Convert it yerselves

edit: Woo, second page!

**Hai** · November 23rd, 2006, 05:57 PM

Been home sick today. Perfectchance to work lots on my sculpture, you'd think. but the sickness drained most of my motivation, so I spent my day surfing the web and watching tv. Meh...

**Hai** · November 26th, 2006, 03:27 PM

Not much update on my sculpture nor on the manapunk image. Been working on the following instead.

Curse my short attention span! And I've yet to paint a background. Ever. remind me to practice landscapes, will you?

edit: Oh, and before anyone says anything, I wasn't exactly going for naturalism in this one.

See that thing around his neck/on his shoulders? I'm making that at school, life size.

**Hai** · November 30th, 2006, 06:03 PM

No daily update?!

Sorry guys, too busy at school.

**Hai** · December 1st, 2006, 01:26 PM

The thing I'm making at school.

**Hai** · December 3rd, 2006, 04:36 PM

These are a couple of months old.

edit: Oh, man. I haven't realized how bad they are until now. They've always looked awesome to me, but I see all the problems with 'em now.

**Hai** · December 3rd, 2006, 04:44 PM

Wood is pretty cool to draw on, actually.

**Hai** · December 5th, 2006, 01:01 AM

Whoo! I ordered Marko Djurdjevics Character Ideation DVD! Christmas, here I come!

Trying to make my photoshops look a bit more "artsy"

**artificial_green** · December 7th, 2006, 08:58 AM

I am very curious waht you want to do with your sculpt in your post from november 23th. The neck thing is looking great already! I'd wear it

The woman from post #63: I would advise to give the background a neutral colour/grey before you work further on that. White is not really the greatest surface to work om, because it often makes it dificult to judge colours and values (this forum has this strange khaki colour for a reason). Maybe start in greyscale completely to think out your design first.

+ Filled out sketchbook pages is a VERY good thing. Your rendering on those older drawings you showed is good. One comment though, your figures are a bit stiff still. Other than making them in extreme poses, you could try out different viewingpoints, for example.

**Hai** · December 7th, 2006, 03:52 PM

Whoo! Crits!

The sculpt has sadly been down-prioritized as I have too much other stuff to do. I do plan on finishing it though, but it may not happen until 2007.

You're right about the stiffness, I'll try to work on that. Thanks for the heads up.

Attached is a ballpoint pen drawing from a few days ago.

**Hai** · December 8th, 2006, 05:54 PM

Todays sketch. Still a little lonely here on page 2 people!

Edit: Yeah, I know the old mans right leg is off. With the foreshortening and shite. Help me out here.

**Hai** · December 8th, 2006, 06:54 PM

Thought I'd upload some photographs too. First a few of my "necklace" and then one of a bridge I cross every day to get home.

**robin-eleven** · December 9th, 2006, 01:27 AM

hello!
Wel I must first apologize for not being around too often

BUT I must say that you have GREATLY improved from your very first posts.
Your anatomy has gotten much better!

I admire your sculpture work!
I've always had a difficult time in working in 3 dimensions

oooooo i envy youuuu!

Oh, and can anyone tell me how I get texture in my brushes in photshop? I fear I have found the wrong "textures button" or something.

Anyways, I've been thinking about how I should draw people interacting more, not just posing warriors or whatever. It's something I've been neglecting 'cause it's so boring. But now I've figured out how not to make it boring! Just throw in the naked lady!

edit: And I found out how to scan better! Niiice.

**Hai** · December 10th, 2006, 11:46 AM

No comment.

**Hai** · December 10th, 2006, 02:04 PM

A quick selfportrait. Which actually doesn't look like me, so I fail.

**Hai** · December 11th, 2006, 03:55 PM

I'm all out of sketchbooks! Must. Find. Paper!

**Hai** · December 12th, 2006, 05:06 PM

I've solved the sketchbook issue, but where is my 4H pencil?! I can't draw with anything but my trusty 4H pencil!!

**Hai** · December 13th, 2006, 03:30 PM

More pictures of my relief, since it's back from the burning now.

**Hai** · December 14th, 2006, 02:21 PM

I got an 'A' on the relief. Also, I got a 'B' on another test without reading for it at all!

**Hai** · December 15th, 2006, 05:14 PM

Not used to the paper in my new sketchbook yet, so I tried with a pen, since it doesn't matter as much what you're drawing on with pens.

**Hai** · December 16th, 2006, 08:57 AM

I got my Marko-DVD!

**Hai** · December 16th, 2006, 07:20 PM

Whooo

More scot, less Vega from Street Fighter.

**Hai** · December 20th, 2006, 02:25 PM

I feel like one sketch per update just doesn't cut it. So I'm gonna try to have 2 or more sketches for you guys every day. I know I have the capacity, it's just a matter of how dedicated I want to be.
