----Another Sketchbook----

[SPACEMOD]

I have been reluctant on posting here since there are sooo many skilled and talented artists.

Here are some studies. The arms and the torso.
I will post more tomorrow...hopefully. maybe this sketchbook will keep me motivated.

[DeJakhalz]

Ey man! Always a good start to begin with anatomy. And their good too, but watch out you dont make the head to big Plz show some more!

C ya man

[SPACEMOD]

Thanks DeJakhalz for the critique and for stopping by.

I figured i should say something about myself. I am a 16 year old female junior in high school. i hope to pursue a career in concept art in the future.

Im trying to draw as many arms as possible to grasp how it looks in certain positions and how it works.
Ill Try to post more soon

[Xerotin]

Nice start you've got. Keep studying that anatomy and like everyone keeps telling me, do life drawings

[SPACEMOD]

Something i drew yesterday yet i was too lazy to scan.
the figure is from reference and the rest is from imagination.
Xerotin, I will start drawing from life asap

[SPACEMOD]

Here is one of the things i did today
I drew my hands and my foot. i spent about 5min on the hands and 1 min on the feet. i need to start taking my time

[DAVEZILLA]

Real nice figures man.
I agree with your statement: take your time! I like seeing shaded hands

[SPACEMOD]

DAVEZILLA Thanks for stopping by Ill try to get some shaded hands and figures.

Here are some figures i did yesterday. They took about 5 to 10 minutes.
drawing the figure in front view is especially hard for me. these suck...im going to do some more.

[SPACEMOD]

My first digital painting portrait. i guess you could call it a speed painting because i did not spend as much time on it as i should. got frustrated with the ear. i am going to do more studies.

[SPACEMOD]

These are some drawings i did last week. some quick figure studies and some bridgeman studies.

[SPACEMOD]

some bridgeman studies. trying to learn how to balance the figure. the first couple look off, but i think i am starting to get it

[SPACEMOD]

small update
The first page is a 10 min. hand
the second page is some loomis studies of proportion
the third page is a couple of female legs
and the fourth page is some quick figure studies.

[SPACEMOD]

Here is some of my hands. they were done in pen, which is something i haven't yet drawn with until now. probably about 5 minutes each...

[SPACEMOD]

here is a head study. i didn't work on the hair because i wanted to concentrate more on the face. and i figured I'd post it because I'm tired of looking at it.
so here it is with its reference...

[SPACEMOD]

Here are some loomis figures that i did on monday.
the last one is what i drew last night.
critiques welcome

[SPACEMOD]

Some studies from photo refrence
and a digi painting from photo reference, spent about 1 hr and 30min on it...

[SPACEMOD]

My internet is down at home so i cannot post the drawings from my sketchbook now. however i was able to go to the library and post some of my speed paintings.

[SPACEMOD]

Yeah yeah...big upload
this is some things I've been doing over the past couple of weeks.

[SPACEMOD]

Some studies i did today from Kevin Chens tutorials. These were very helpful.

[gmags]

Great to see you're studying Loomis!! Really like your life studies and how you mix them up! Keep postin your work is inspiring.

[5coop]

hey thanks for the sketchbook visit

I think you're doing really well, and im impressed at your level of digital painting on just the first try, although i suggest you hold it off until you get the basics and your studies down, it will only sidetrack! Make some final pieces and practice coloring those on photoshop or whatever you are using. But before that still you should probably practice with real colors, computer is really the last step!

[SPACEMOD]

Here are some recent sketches i have done.
And here is a value and lighting study i did in about 10 minutes each

[SPACEMOD]

5coop - Thanks. Yeah i need to paint traditionally. I have the tools, but when i stare at the canvas, i have no idea where to start. I am going to try some things today and see where it takes me.

Hmmmm try drawing from life some more. Draw stuff in your room, outside, pets, or friends, just keep drawing! You're on the right track, keep it up! I think you've gotten a lot of great advice, mine would be to focus on shading, so far you have a heavy emphasis on contour lines. Anyway, keep drawing!

[SPACEMOD]

Thanks copperfire for taking the time to look at my sketchbook. its appriciated.

Yeah i need to start drawing more from life. I have my sketchbook with me in school, so when im bored, instead of daydreaming ill just draw the people in class.

[SPACEMOD]

These are some drawings I have been doing over the week.

well...better get to bed...SAT's tomorrow

[SPACEMOD]

here are some of the images i am using for my portfolio for college.
my first choice is RINGLING. I am very last minute but i could use some help/criticism.

[SPACEMOD]

more portfolio stuff

[Katzenminze]

hey space mod, thanks for dropping by, at my sketchbook! i just ha da look at your stuff and i think your drawings are getting better and better! when painting you should look out for your values though! try to use the whole range from darkest dark to lightest light otherwise you will flatten your image!
in post 22 you did a ver good job of going into the darks!

[SPACEMOD]

Thanks Katzenminze for the tips
