Beginings of a Sketchbook

**BogGnarr** · September 19th, 2010, 02:22 PM

This is the start of my first sketchbook! I usually go by Nate, I am 21 and studying Animation. I am really excited to give this thing a try. Hopefully I will update it weekly so try and keep me accountable. I don't have alot of formal instruction so any comments or critiques would be greatly appreciated.

I'd love to get any feedback I can get. Even if you think my stuff sucks. Let me know

This is a guy that i drew while attempting to study for exams last semester. Be patient with me plz. I'm tryin to upload my pics and scans but my computer and the forums are fighting one another at the moment.

These are some drawing evolution pics i did. They are not finished yet but I don't know when I will get back to it.

**BogGnarr** · September 19th, 2010, 04:04 PM

These are some still life sketches of some of the stuff I found laying around my room.

Some more sketches from observation. Working on proportions. Please let me know what you guys think!

**BogGnarr** · September 20th, 2010, 06:09 PM

This is a study on shading I am doing of a friend of mine. Im thinking that the proportions are a little off though

Im really not good at drawing people. So I decided to do try and learn one piece at a time. Today was eyes. And some other stuff

This is a sketch of Tristana from the game League of Legends. Ive got about an hour or so into it already and I hope to be putting in color and finishing it up within the next week.

This is a quick paint of a sketch I did a while ago. Still workin out how to do highlights and darks while painting in Photoshop.

Ok I havn't updated in a LOOOONG time. Modeling projects keep getting in the way of me getting the time to update. So here is some stuff I have been doing over the last month or so.

**BogGnarr** · February 25th, 2011, 04:08 PM

School has been keepin me pretty busy lately so I just havnt gotten around to updating. Im going to be dumping alot of stuff I have backed up over the next few posts.

**BogGnarr** · February 25th, 2011, 04:21 PM

Here are some more.

I can see improvement over your body of work here, I think you should really dig into more figure studies though.

Looking forward to seeing more progress!

**BogGnarr** · February 28th, 2011, 04:11 PM

Thanks for the advice Koh. I am going to try and work some more figure drawing here soon. I dont particularly like it as much as environments so I dont play around with it as much. Mainly cause im not good at it yet.

Anyway here is a sketch I started in Alchemy.

**paranoiak** · March 3rd, 2011, 11:11 PM

your drawings for observation are very nice especialy the shoes, like the faces but you should make some head studies from loomis and some figure studies too, keep posting and you'll make big progress!!LOVE the last piece!!!

**BogGnarr** · May 1st, 2011, 07:16 PM

Ok school is wrapping up and its time to start filling you guys in on what i've been doin. Planning on uploading quite a few over next couple posts.

First up is my first experience with Charcoal. I love it to death.

**BogGnarr** · May 2nd, 2011, 03:30 PM

Here are some more still life's. Mostly h pencils with some colored pencil on top. Trying to get better with my line work ad perspective lines.

**BogGnarr** · May 5th, 2011, 06:46 PM

Ok going off of what paranoiak has said, I started doing some self portraits in practically every media I could get my hands on. Sadly the first 3 dont look like me but the fourth one is a little better.

**Rhubix** · May 5th, 2011, 07:17 PM

Self portraits are tough... The key to getting a face down is to measure a tonne. Measure the angles of your face, measure the distances between everything. Start light and keep adjusting.
It also doesn't hurt to crack out the ol' anatomy book and draw some skulls. When you know what all the little bumps and stuff are they're much easier to draw
