mrdigs' sketchbook

[mrdigs]

Thanks for the feedback CastorFiber - I've been trying to change the way I approach the digital stuff, it's making me notice all the gaps in my knowledge though !

I'll pop over and post a link to the Bumskee thread in your sketchbook.

A couple more perspective studies before I crash out, and a quick sketch from the train.

[mrdigs]

couple of wonky sketches from today.

[mrdigs]

more perspective and a quick sketch on the train.

[mrdigs]

Yet more perspective stuff, trying to get my head around where to place vanishing points and eye level.

[mrdigs]

playing with angles and cropping/zooming in, might stick to these thumbnails for a bit to get a feel for things.

and another sketch from commuter hell.

[mrdigs]

carrying on with perspective, trying different eye levels and vanishing points at different elevations.

[mrdigs]

yet more perspective ! trying shadows and projecting from a plan and elevation into a perspective view...the second house took forever because i got mad confused with the roof...gah.

[mrdigs]

trying to combine some of it...

[mrdigs]

badly coloured commuter sketch...

and a few more environment thumbs...gonna stop mucking about with these and try something a bit more finished soon...ish.

[mrdigs]

couple more, trying to dispense with the lineart.

i'm reworking the bathroom one because floor to ceiling urinals doesn't seem quite right...plus the shape is out and a tonne of other stuff, not to mention the lack of stains ! hah.

gonna start using ref for these, i tend to just use ref to paint from for standalone studies...so i'm gonna start bringing it in here and see if i can get some more believeable stuff going.

need to work zoomed in a bit more so things look ok without scaling down so much. hmph.

[mrdigs]

nursing a hangover...

[mrdigs]

cardboard spraycan i made for a friends birthday, couple of commuter sketches and some skulls i tried to do from memory...

[a la bapsi]

damn that's a nice ear you sculpted on page 4.
i really dig those perspective studies!
keep it up, you're going somewhere. :]

[mrdigs]

thanks for the encouragment a la bapsi, that ear took forever !

haven't had the most productive week this week but managed to get a few random bits done, and i started a new sketchbook too so that was cool.

[mrdigs]

more skull studies, last couple unreffed. trying some freehand perspective too.

[mrdigs]

couple of sketchs from this week, and some noses from ref.

[mrdigs]

sketches on the train...

and another skull.

[mrdigs]

life drawings from last night, i was struggling to whole time - gotta work on that stuff.

[mrdigs]

some sketches from today.

[mrdigs]

couple of quick studies, inspired by bumskee's environment studies...but sadly nowhere near as nice trying to work zoomed out and speedy.

[mrdigs]

a few bits from this week.

[mrdigs]

Couple more on the train and some random faces.

I need to start drawing faster, or taking longer train journeys.

[mrdigs]

small update...sketch exploring a derelict building the other day, and another one from the train.

[mrdigs]

more perspective stuff, the first four are loosely ref'd, last one from imagination...damn i hate window frames.

[mrdigs]

some stuff from this afternoon...i'm slowly working my way through draw 50 cats ! by lee j ames. they're all coming out a bit wonky but i've had the book sitting around for ages and thought it was about time i worked through it.

a few faces too.

[mrdigs]

quicky of a hotel room, had to do it on tiny bits of paper so it's a bit of a mess...and another train journey.

[mrdigs]

a couple more.

[mrdigs]

Some quick skull studies from this morning, a wonky life drawing and something that was inspired by dsg1493 - satan's hamster, not sure if I'll colour it.

[mrdigs]

bits from today. i need to practice more of everything !

[mrdigs]

more random bits and bobs...the train sketches probably don't look like anything much but i can assure you they're bits of trains...honest.
