Deon's Sketchbook

[AustenFM]

Long time since I've been through here, I'm surprised to see so few updates though! I love what you did with the WWI tank raid scene, super dynamic.

Hope to see more updates from you more often

Keep at it!

[Traveler]

I see progress. Keep drawing and don't skimp on the anatomy studies. I also suggest that you really study the line work of artists you admire and ask yourself why their lines look so good. Refine, refine.

[Deon]

AustenFM - Thanks - I still want to finish that WWI scene...yea, I haven't worked on my own stuff for some time, again...but I'm back at it again, and I hope to make it last this time. In fact, this year, I have decided to not take on any freelance work anymore, because it prevents me from getting around to my own work. I have little free time after work.
Traveler - thanks - that's a question I always ask myself

OK - here's the finished sketch that I want to do a sculpture of...

[clanlord]

Hello mate & thank you for stopping in my SB!

I am too really glad that it opened a chance to take a peek in your both SB and SCULP page! I recently found out about how hard it is to make such progress like yours in SCULPT making! IT is remarkable! You have both skills of good learner and a great imagination! You have a sense of objects... I will explain what this means in my point of view - you have the ability to draw one object from various angles and you hardly make mistakes when doing it. Althought your style maybe mistaken for someone's who works in WALT DISNEY or PIXAR (which is awesome because there are the pros) I like your sense of color, volume and proportion!

Remarkable! I am so pleased that I recieved a word from you in my SB! It is honor for me! - G


P.S. - I am mad with rage when looking at some unfinished pieces and meanwhile hoping with great bliss that I will see more from you! Hopefully!

[Deon]

clanlord - thanks for your kind words, man I appreciate that.
Your work is awesome , man - you will go far!
Yea - I dont update my sketchbook nearly enough anymore - gotta change that

Here's a quick doodle for today, just trying to find a new character to sculpt...

[am●na,☼nafa&Kash☉fa]

they definitely are fuzzy, are you a cartoonist?

[Deon]

am●na,☼nafa&Kash☉fa - wow - quite a user name you have there
I wouldn't describe myself as a cartoonist, but my work definitely has cartoonist tendencies.

Some really rough initial concept doodles for a canceled project. In this case, a very cartoony character project.

Nice work. What are the little bouncy things around the dinosaur? Tadpoles?
