latus's first sketchbook

[Shad-]

You are dealing with a lot of stuff at the same time and it seems to perfectly fit you as you have been constantly improving since you opened that sketchbook !
Perspectives are really good. I think you should try some more complicated stuff with it as you seem to get it with simple buildings. (Oh and the two american cars in some post of july are awesome !)

[DvrJeroen]

Wow man, neat sketchbook !
You've got some killer studies in here, such as the holy mona lisa and the one above.
That Ken Block study isn't bad neither :p
keep updatin', I'll be watching !

[Eightball_]

nice studies man! the perspective ones seem rushed, take your time with them. good to see you tackling all kinds of subject matter though. the bug form studies are a really useful excersise.

[latus]

Thank you for positive feedback!

Shad- that is good idea. Next time I'll do perspective study I will try push my boundaries more.

Eightball_ I agree about the rushing, but the problem is that I tend to loose interest drastically as I work with the same piece for some time. That is no excuse though... I really should increase my patience as well, hehe... Maybe I should work on few pieces simultaneously.

So here is today's update.
I'm thinking to include more armor, weapon, vehicles and such studies to increase my visual library, so I could start pushing my creativity skill as well.

Thank you once again for the positive feedback. It really helps a lot and puts a smile on my face.

I would like to see some more life study's

[jinny]

Great sb. I really like your perspective work. Keep it up!

I just love those spacy environments! Keep them coming!

[Psychobuddy]

Cool space scenes dude. Nice work.

[latus]

Thank you. Space environments aren't quite from my own imagination as I studied how the space looks and such looking at artwork from others.Though I altered it a little in my own way.

Nice sketchbook. I like those perspective studies the most, but as Eightball told you they seem rough, take more time on them, landscape studies on first post are great, pencil's are really really nice and i'm loving the car on post #18, as critic...i think you should take your time on studying one subject at a time, anyways.. nice work, i'll be glad to see more!

[latus]

Gpozzo - you are probably right. I need to organize my sketchbook a little bit more concentrating at one topic at least for a week or two.

So with today's update I'm starting to draw humans for the rest of the August.

By the way, the tree picture is made by me in school when I was 8 years old. Found it few days ago by accident... Thought it would be fun to upload it here.

Some legs incoming and female poses studies. I'm planning to overpaint poses lineart, so I should get nice value studies as well.

[latus]

Finally updating my sketchbook!

Second picture is WIP for EOW "Train Station" and it is quite challenging for me. Any tips or suggestions would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

great exercices here

your perspective is pretty good.

as critic:
-keep loosing your lines when doing figures and heads (you might enjoy copying some asaro heads, or copy loomis's head planes) do more posemaniac studies with many many gestures

-check and recheck your proportions, mirror your canvas and resize any disproportioned part of your drawing (like in your figures) i think you have no problem with proportions, just be more aware.

keep up your good work

[Greenhouse]

Great work in here! I love the cat in #13. The city image in# 14 is nice.
I like the brush stroke economy that you use in your Ps studies. That's something I have to learn more about. I often find myself scratching in one place for too long
Keep up the good work!

[jNeumann]

Awesome studies! Keep it up

[Damien Levs]

Hey nice thread here! Really liked your IDW entry. That's what brought me here. Keep up the hard work

[latus]

Zou, thank you for your critic. I will definitely use your advice and include asaro and loomis‘s head practices. And yeah, I created canvas flip macro like a week ago still not very used to it.

Greenhouse, jNeumann, Damien Levs thank you very much for such a positive feedback!

Updating my last drawing with colors.

[latus]

Oh boy, oh boy, it's been a while!

[latus]

Photo studies, some quick poses and asaro's head practice (thanks to zou for reference).

This time I decided to brainstorm some mech silhouettes and bring two of them to more finished sketch level.

Second one is still in WIP.

[Mepainter]

WOW! amazing work, everything you draw and paint is eye candy!
Lovely.. keep it up

[latus]

Thank you Mepainter
