Nice enviro's. May I suggest using a French curve for similar perspectives? It will look much tidier, like your other enviro's you did with a ruler. Cool sketches and potraits by the way.

[Unedibleapple]

Yeah, those enviroments are nice, I should do more of them really. I like the range of heads and expressions in your sketches. Keep it up!

[Quite Evil Pussy Cat]

You have a great sense of perspective dude, your environments are totally ass-kicking. Don't like the japaneese dude though. Focus on environments, thats what you do best.

[Koto]

Haven't posted in awhile, woops:





Struggling big time with bodies (RobG textures^)

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

[Koto]

Woo another update!
From ref:


Random sketch coloured:

Crits please!

[Grimey]

i really like your stuff in pencil, but the portraits are amazing too!

[hummdrumm]

nice landscapes...were those line drawings in pen?

[D@niel]

Awsome perspective stuff!! Dig your colour palette too

[Delmar]

Last two are lovely , nice color scheme.

In some pencils the shading could need some improvement, e.g. in the two portraits the shading is entirely top-bottom strokes, try to follow the planes of the body with your strokes unless of course you wanted the shading like this.

Keep it up, i really like your colors

[AmontilladoAg]

I like the cloud-tree and the ghostbuster

Lookin' good; moar, pleez

[Dan Valkar]

nice sb man!..sweet colors and cool sketches....very neat ref portrait..also that shadow of the colossus... keep postin' man...oh and i gotta ask how u did the first enviro...a filter maybe?...

[ped454]

wow. Just love the lines on your enviro's. Something i've been avoiding doing for the longest time. Beautiful work. really beautiful

[AnthonyFoti]

ooh, I want to see more of your pencil charactures like that little batman you've got going on up there. Really cool stuff.

[funfetus]

Like everyone else said, the perspective drawings are great. I'd like to see you do something like that in color -- it'd probably be awesome. That female portrait from ref is really nice, too.

[Koto]

stonecurly Thanks!
hummdrumm Those are done in pencil
D@niel Why thank you!
Delmar Great advice dude, I really do struggle with shading
AmontilladoAg Cheers!
Dan Valkar I think it was one of the layer blends in photoshop
ped454 Thank you
AnthonyFoti haha! someone noticed the Batamn. thanks
funfetus Todays update is my first full colour enviroment and full 'finished' piece!

I had done this drawing at the beginning of the year, just got around to colouring it now! :o I needed something to do since I've had a week off playing halo 3. Damn video games!

here's the lines with a little cleaning up, paper got really messy because the ruler kept smudging the lines.

[funfetus]

Man, that environment is great! Stuff like that scares the crap out of me. I want to start drawing comics, and that kind of thing is what I dread the most. How long did it take? The colored version is so good. It looks HAPPY.

Keep it up, man -- great work.

[ped454]

Lol I agree with funfetus. You got mad skillz still . How did you do that fisheye lens btw in post #1. Teach me! lol. later haha

[AmontilladoAg]

Ooh, nicely done! I luv the cat and the bird on the statue

Cheers

[Tigermilk]

God Damn, the two shoe studies are awesome.
Keep posting

[SeB C BiEn]

Thank you for the comment in my SB, really appreciate it.
Your environments are really looking good, and the colors too (like in that last one). Love the character designs too, real nice!
the pencil rendering are nice (the portrait for example) but I think we can see the pencil strokes too much (in the neck and cheek areas). Maybe try to blend more?
anyways, great stuff, you, are definitely in the right direction

[toubab]

great works, love how you use colors!

[Arekkusu]

Cool portraits and studies! Like the perspective pieces too.

Want to see more!

Laters.

[Unedibleapple]

That last enviroment is beautiful, the colours are so bright and happy! When is the next update comming!?

[Koto]

funfetus Cheers dude, that image took a couple days, mainly because I was using a mouse
ped454 Cheers! Fish eye was a guess (a wonky guess at that) just curved all the lines lol
AmontilladoAg Thanks for stopping by
Tigermilk Thanks (great sketchbook by the way)
SeB C BiEn No problem Seb, you're improving at an incredible rate . My pencil rendering sucks I see people using awesome cross hatch style and I wish I could do that
toubab Thanks dude!
Arekkusu Thanks for the comment! Your sketch book is great, robot love
Unedibleapple Update now! When is your next update, huh???

Been lazy (no surprise there) so I thought I'd finally have a go at painting an environment without lines (the pic with the cave entrance) and realized I can't paint rocks/rocky environments, so I did a few studies, and...I need to do a load more!

Went through Idiot Apathy's sketchbook again for inspiration, check it out if you haven't already, you will say 'wow'.

Two from ref:



And these from my head

sketch pages (mix of old and new)




next update will hopefully be some colour characters...maybe...
