A sketchbook!

[Sady]

The images in the first few posts were hosted on photobucket and are long gone now, so I will just delete them.

[Sady]

Thanks, Echidno.

Very interesting sketchbook. Some of your faces (and figures) seem out of proportion and are slanted, but I find them to be kind of interesting, especially in the first portrait in your first post. Hope to see more.

Good work here. That first post is my fav, lol is that a scene from Full Metal Jacket? good work.

[Sady]

madplanet, thanks for the crits.

Prophet, thanks. And yes, full metal jacket... blatant screen copy but anyway. ^_^

Nice start Mate...
try to give shades according to planes/dimentions..it would be helpful to add more volume in ur sketches.

Keep working !

[Sady]

Thanks shyamshriram. I am indeed trying to improve that.

[Ferg]

your body anatomy is great but I don't think your faces are on the same level... mooore face practice. Oh excellent rendering too.

[Sady]

Huh, Photobucket removed some of my images because of nudity I guess. Tsk tsk.

Ah well...

[Sady]

At least five characters.

Not much for this week.

[Sady]

Daddy.

[madplanet]

I see some improvements on your faces and really like the linework and imagination in some of these. Nothing really to crit, just enjoying what I see. Maybe tomorrow will be different...

[Sady]

Thanks, madplanet. 8]

Looking good. I believe you need to start paying more attention to how you align the left side of the face to the right, and not have an eye drooping, or being hiked up. Flip it upside down and hold it up to the light. As soon as you see it horizontally flipped, you know exactly where you are off. A lot of these are great, but you seem to be making a lot of minor alignment mistakes, and are building a lot of detail on a poor foundational sketch.

Keep them coming, you're doing great. The key to getting it perfect for you is to just make sure you have everything positioned where it should be, and to keep your eyes fresh on these drawings. Looking at the picture backwards helps a TON. If you do it digitally, you can simply flip it horizontal and keep drawing. On that note, it actually helps a lot to work on a picture a little flipped one way, then a little flipped the other, but thats digital..

Thanks, Blue. 8]
Indeed, I tend to rush to shading before I have a good construction. I´ll try some tea instead of coffee maybe.

Depicting emotion is one of the hardest things when drawing, and you do it really well.
You got talent.

[Sady]

Thanks, Yiako. 8]

[Sady]

Another pen drawing.

Hopefuly, my wacom comes this week.

[Blue]

I'm curious, how big are you drawing these? It almost seems like it is on comic board, i believe its something like 10x18 or something if memory serves me right.

[nhamuk]

I really like the intimate feeling of the portraits, I'll love to see more...

[Sady]

Thanks, nhamuk. 8]

Blue, they´re roughly comic size, yes.

Another one. This is a full A4. Pencil and pen...

Started with pen, then I got lazy and finished with the tablet. 8x
