evening sketchery

**jdeegz** · April 5th, 2008, 10:29 AM

another little thing i picked up, its not hard to do, but if you look at life or images, you'll notice that something that has a warm light from it, will cast a cool shadow. and visa versa.
:-D
last one is dope, hes all like ima stab you, then shoot you.

**Discoskull** · April 8th, 2008, 12:18 AM

Great tip indeed! Written and recorded.

**jdeegz** · April 8th, 2008, 10:30 AM

**Discoskull** · April 8th, 2008, 07:25 PM

Thanks dude!
Hopefully, it didn't get lost...

Swet drawings

**Matthew Forte** · April 8th, 2008, 07:34 PM

Holy crap man, this stuff is awesome! I'm bookmarking your sketchbook....

**jdeegz** · April 8th, 2008, 08:22 PM

looks nice colored, but i think the foots value is too similar to the beasts arm, and it gets lost

i think you should throw some reds into the skin of the man, and the blood is a little too saturated

**Discoskull** · April 9th, 2008, 04:38 PM

Harry - thanks much.
M Forte - thanks for the vote of confidence!
jdeegz - good points all. I felt the blood was to bright as well.

warm up sketching for sci-fi image
I don't do sci fi very often at all...

**Discoskull** · April 9th, 2008, 10:48 PM

sci fi attempt / 1 hour colors / 35-40% fail

**TheGnoll** · April 11th, 2008, 02:48 PM

hey man, great improvement in here as usual, i see you're really hanging in thre with color and it spaying off a lot, everything looks better and better

loved the robo centaur guy in page 20

keep sharing!
ciao

**Discoskull** · April 11th, 2008, 11:00 PM

Thanks much Gnoll! Will indeedly do indeed.

Got halfway through this one, and then realized that the chick's stance/pose was just...bad. Not to mention her gadget, and some of the storytelling was off.

Re-drawing her as seen in the thumbnail below.

**Discoskull** · April 12th, 2008, 02:12 AM

some progress on that one. must fix boot.

**Discoskull** · April 12th, 2008, 02:11 PM

I am not used to sci fi. Still trying to blend her into the picture; she has too much brown atm. But I was tired.

**Discoskull** · April 13th, 2008, 06:13 PM

It is what it is...moving on now. Fuck sci-fi. I don't like cars.

**Discoskull** · April 14th, 2008, 08:42 PM

Was going for a Persian Samurai...or something.
Need to learn a better way to make armor shine.

**Discoskull** · April 14th, 2008, 09:24 PM

quickie

**Discoskull** · April 15th, 2008, 08:12 PM

some stuff.
I still hate sci-fi.
I need to find my groove with it so I can make some original stuff.
Time for lots of vehicle studies, methinks...

**Discoskull** · April 16th, 2008, 12:47 AM

half hearted messings of the last hour

**Kaffinated** · April 16th, 2008, 12:49 AM

Great progress! I would say push a range of tones a bit more and maybe add some rim lighting to make your images "POP"

**Discoskull** · April 17th, 2008, 06:18 PM

Thanks for the tips dude.
I do need to have waaay more midtones, methinks...

More trying-to-get-better-at-sci-fi

**UCT** · April 17th, 2008, 06:28 PM

Dude, im always surprised by the standard of your work, its got better and I looked about a month ago. Great SB, Ill be back soon.

**Discoskull** · April 18th, 2008, 01:52 AM

Thanks for the worthy compliment UCT.

sketchy pencils for that one
no worries; lighting and line weight will make it pop like a ripe zit.

**Discoskull** · April 19th, 2008, 01:30 AM

Wacom sketching

**Discoskull** · April 19th, 2008, 03:06 AM

Did this on/off tonight (1hr-15min-ish)

Jerri Blank

**Discoskull** · April 21st, 2008, 05:13 PM

I finally did something sci-fi that I'm happy with.

2 hour colors
Probably gonna clean it up later/ with fresh eyes.
critique would be very much appreciated

**Buckster** · April 22nd, 2008, 03:29 AM

hey man, long since I took a look in here now ^^

I think that as usual you have some really interesting and cool concepts and your colouring is getting better and better, it feels like you are taking in the feedback you get, great going.

Your sketches feels a little forced at times, redrawing your lines several times like you are not confident in your choices. Try to just suggest the lines using a hard pen or just by very very light lines and then pick the ONE that you feel comfortable with.

Keep rocking this SB man, I am really enjoying this.

**UCT** · April 22nd, 2008, 08:49 AM

Disco- dude that last image is great but i liked it more as a sketch. Ive said this before but I dont think the mid tones are distributed across the image well. The dark sky doesnt mean the robots have to have such a dark edging. You have got the reflective glow perfect, but try using other colours aswell to segrigate the light tone that almost ends up blurring. I dont you to think Im only one track about your work, but thats honestly the only slight problem I can see with your images. I really enjoy it.
