Blaz`s Sketchbook has a silly title!

[RaphaelLuebke]

great updates since i visited last time! ur developing really fast (faster than me, of course hope to see more in here soon.

[Konstruktion]

I see you have the Glenn fabry anatomy book! It's a nice read, although for serious anatomy- and proportion study I myself rpefer Hogarth. Good that you are doing traditional as well as digital, from mind as well as from ref. And thanks for dropping by my sb!"

[Blaz]

@Chance: Hehe im honored you placed it on desktop! Thx for crits, but about that old man portrait and his forehead not lining up thats because its s study of one of Hals` portraits, he is wearing some sort of hat.
@iMaiM: Yup, very metally ...and no I havent done anything with WIP, didnt have time.
@Howie: Thank you!
@xbert: Thank you, you will
@Sarcophagus: Hmm Glenn fabry? Dont think so....those are from Villpu drawing manual...but maybe its the same thing, dunno really. And np, thx to you too!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 lousy still lives done for my mentor (the paper was very bad) ...and a character for Art Battle Royal topic in Challenge section...another b/w "quickie"!

[koeifan]

wow, pretty awesome pics( i personally like the dude in the cloak)... and what pencils/pens/paper did you use to draw your character in the battle royal?... i wanna start using whatever it was.

[Reika]

Boo. been looking through your pencils and i dig them. One observation in your last pencil stuff your pencil stroke is all at 30 degrees or so. loosening up will help get the value deeper. thats about all, keep at it

[Howie]

nice still life drawings, you have a clear light source and good range of values. I like your character's shoes but i think a cast shadow would help ground him a little more. Keep up the good work.

[iMaiM]

Holy shit. I'm in love with that last pic.

IN LOVE.

[Blaz]

@koeifan: Thank you! The character for Battle Royal is entirely done in PhotoShop...with tablet. Simble black brush
@Reika: Thank you! And yeah you are right, nice observation...even I didnt know that lol....well ill try to loosen up a bit! 8)
@Howie: Thx, yeah looks awkward without shadow but couldnt bother for a battle royale quickie!
@iMaiM: Thank you once again!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really should update more often...but cant seem to find things to upload, all my sketches are quite messy and ....messy.

...anyways here is something from few days ago: 2 studies by Holbein and other figure studies from Villpu drawing manual...
...and one more PS quickie: my character for battle royal attacking!

[Dandilion]

Love the black and white pieces Blaz! Really inspiring.

~Em

[Darktwin]

Wow blaz, its been to long since I've been here, great drawings and black and whites. really great progression. very inspiring. You keep that pencil moving you here me!! back to drawing for me

[Jakers]

That last character is really fun and interesting, awesome. I wonder if he has something deadly in that baloon? haha. I like how the ears went further back in the first iteration (they look too tall in the last one). Even more loose linework would be cool but the figures still look nice...some good drawings on the last page sir

[koeifan]

the black and white looks really cool

[iMaiM]

Yesssssssss, more of that lovely character. More more more more more! iMaiM demands it XD

[Blaz]

@Dandilion: Thx, im glad you like em! ^^
@Darktwin: Thank you, will do!
@Jakers: Thx, I agree his ears look awkward in last pic, couldnt bother being precise there
@koeifan: Thx!
@iMaiM: Ehehe, I might do more...if someone actually attacks me...but lately cant bother with battleroyale.

Hello,
My computer was infected by some kind of virus and now I can barely do anything. So I cant post or work in PS until i get it sorted out.

This is the "sketch" for a poster for assignment at school , theme "Moment of time, chunk of space".
And random sketch...

Until next time,
~Blaž

[Beta_v1]

just finished the first page going through the rest now...
i can already tell you have GREAT stuff man.
yet another inspiration for me to get WAYYY better.

[ajvenema]

hmm, the only bad side on this sketchbook is that it isnt updated too much
u still seem to do a lot of art though, cuz improvement is still here! keep going like this! by the way, id like to see some more finished and colored works now, do u have some?

[Halfmonk]

I love your black and white stuff, some really creepy designs! Like maniac harlequin clowns - too cool.
More more!

[Sketch]

Hey Blaz, I'm liking what you have in here so far. It's cool that you're trying out a few different approaches. The more graphic one of the guy with stuff coming out of his head is looking good. And the demon clown freak is good shit too!

[Evil_Sloth]

Dude your drawings and designs kick ass, keep up those masters studies.

[Blaz]

@Beta_v1:Thx, but first pages suck big time xD!
@ajvenema:Thx again, yup I do draw but I dont post it all.
@Halfmonk:Thx
@Sketch:Hey, thank you. Yeah I do both graphic things and traditional drawings, keeps me from getting bored often .
@Evil_Sloth:Thx, I will.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello again,
My computer is finally virus-free and i decided to post new stuff.

Frist are random characters on sexy yellowish paper which gives nice effect.
And second flying chick with proportion issues.
No references used on both.

And now im off to do assignement for my mentor.
More to come soon.

~blaž

[Miles_]

[Blaz]

And one enviroment WIP i did 10 min ago.
I never painted an enviroment so i decided to try and see what happens.
It looks bleh....

[kischi]

Hey the latest pencil sketches are great! I also love the black and whites.
The environment looks god form a greater distance.
I have no experience with envs but maybe you could tweak some things by working on it zoomed far out.
cheers

[JellevdVegt]

its looking really strong... keep it up
