marowak's sketchbook

[marowak]

Hello everyone

I'm completely new here, and decided to post my "works" here in hope that you help me improve my rather low skill level... :-/
Some say that in your way to get a better artist it's important to set yourself some measureable (not sure if i wrote it well) goal to go to... Well my goal is to be as good as for eg.
morano (http://morano.cgsociety.org/gallery/613191/) or omen. I'm not sure if you are familliar with their work but it's enough to say that i have a long long way in front of me...

1.So first of my little goals will be learning myself a human anatomy with Glenn's Vilppu tutorials.

2.At the same time i"m going to do an everyday life drawing's (at least 5)
3.I'm gonna do digital paintings with fruits and that sort of things to learn myself about the color (3 per week at least)
4. I'm going also to da daily practice with gesture drawing from there (http://www.pixelovely.com/gesture/figuredrawing.php).

In future I thought about a tutorials from ImagineFX or something like that, not sure really how to "bite it"....

I'll try to post all of my drawings / paintings in this threat and I would really appreciate your comments what's wrong, what's good , how to improve and etc.




hopefully I will post some more shortly, I'm already curios about your comments... ;-)

Hello, here some of the anatomical and gesture sketches to keep myself going on the right track.... the last one is from imagination and is suppost to keep the lazyness off me...

Hello guys, here is my still nature study... It's actually all I can do with pencil... but i know i can do better.... besides i want to start drawing human from nature, but I can't find any volunteers... so i'm forced to draw people from photo reffrence for now... I would really apreciate any comments how can i improwe at this moment (i know : practice practice practice, but i 'm counting for something more specific...)

Great start to your sketchbook marowak. I especially like the sketch of the walkway with the trees & benches. Your gestures are so dope.

]Hello, it's been a while since I've posted something... applying to a art school can be time consuming...
anyway, a little concept of a anti-mine tank... ...

p.s. I really need to get on with a tablet... ;-)



Also some concept of a shoe... it from CA 101 assignments (NO#1)... the concept is to take a real life object, draw it , and then change it slightly, so it looks like drawned from life... ;-)

Nice to see a lot of hard work here. Keep drawing from life, bit of a slog sometimes but it will definitely pay off. I'd also recommend checking out a figure drawing book (Loomis and Vilppu are my favorites) so you can get some extra insight into the construction of the figure.

[marowak]

thank's a lot Ian, I've watched Vilppu's video tutorials, and those are indeed great, although i'm gonna have to come back to them instantly... :-/ Loomis is also great..

Good studying! Try focusing a little more on the actual quality of your shading; a lot of it has a scribbly quality that makes your studies look messier than they really are. You can fill large areas quite quickly with the side of a sharp pencil, just put a little more care into laying the tone down. If you want to go for a sort of hatching look instead, just remember to pick up your pencil at the edges to avoid the big loops/zig-zag look.

Some new works.... started to really go into cocnept design now... ;-)

Whoa, this last work is just awesome compared to the earlier stuff. Good improvement
Hmm some weird about the fighter concept, is it me or is that cockpit a little askew? Maybe it's just the lighting on the thing...

yeah, You're right, I just decided to leave it that way and move on to some new things for now... ;-)
