The 0112 Sketchbook

**Lyno** · October 13th, 2007, 02:03 PM

DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT THE LAST PAGE, THESE ARE OLD WORKS!

Hi everyone,

I'm new here, although I've been a guest here for some months. I'm 17 and I'm following Digital Arts and Entertainment at school.
Now that I've bougth a scanner I thought it would be a good idea to start with my own sketchbook.

I've started drawing 3 months ago so please give me advice and good crits

Edited: for other picture ^^
I'll upload my first posts tomorrow

Try and get your favourite artists material around you all the time to inspire you daily!

**grundybug** · October 13th, 2007, 10:48 PM

hey welcome to CA....i agree with Dstudio that u should get some inspiration...it helped me a lot...and drawing from life just whatever you see just try and draw....try using charcoal to draw a lass of water and try to get all of the values right...its really hard (draw what your eyes see and not what your brain makes you see) try and get some shading going, even if its just copying someone elses artwork, but try and get good definition between darks and lights.... just keep drawing

**Lyno** · October 16th, 2007, 12:47 PM

Dstudio, grundybug; trying to get some inspiration but it's hard for me.
When I have some time left, i'll try some life drawings.

Meanwhile; Some work for school. We had to go outside and sketch some buildings, just the basic forms;

Hey Lyno, Good start to a sketchbook, you made the first steps on a long road, the best way to continue now is listen to the crits you get and try to apply them to each new piece you try. I would offer two areas for some improvement, and they would be tonal range, i.e. how much black and white and all the shades between (limit yourself to nine shades for now) and also line weight (that is how thick some lines are and how thin others are also). Anyhoo's Keep up the good effort and keep posting, you be there in no time :-)

**Lyno** · October 20th, 2007, 11:50 AM

Thx RandAlThor.

I will make some variations in the line weight.
Also trying to get the shades right. These previous works were done with 3 markers, I'll try shading with a pencil next time.

I'll post some more work soon, thx

glad to see some more DAE students are making a sketchbook on CA

**Lyno** · October 26th, 2007, 09:31 AM

thx ravenslayer

New thumbnail:

**Lyno** · October 26th, 2007, 01:43 PM

A new sketch and a question (see last image):

Which of those 4 do you think is the best (-> good composition, interesting subject, ...) or maybe you have some good suggestions for a better concept?

Thx

**Lyno** · October 28th, 2007, 05:16 PM

Some crap I made today
Lacking inspiration

**Wakkawa** · October 28th, 2007, 05:27 PM

The thumbnails are pretty cool, but in a lot of your perspective pictures you put the vanishing points way too close too each other. They end up looking too distorted.

**Lyno** · October 29th, 2007, 05:07 PM

Wakkawa: thx, will pay attention on it in the future!

Did some other thumbs today but I don't have much time to draw a lot these days. (I have other things to do for school

)

anyway ^^ : Going to chose a tower now and work it out on a A4 and A3

**Lyno** · October 31st, 2007, 02:30 PM

Hehe, did some more thumbs, going to work the thumbs out now and make a selection out of them.

**Lyno** · October 31st, 2007, 03:39 PM

WIP: some suggestions?

**Christian223** · October 31st, 2007, 04:24 PM

Its really nice to see how much you have progressed, you really earned a good grasp of perspective.

A couple of critiques, try to spread further apart the vanishing points so that you wont get that much distortion, and try doing a finished piece, not just sketches, i think you are more than ready to try that. Good luck!, and keep posting your progress.

**Lyno** · October 31st, 2007, 04:31 PM

Thx Christian223

Trying to finish this work right now:

**Lyno** · November 2nd, 2007, 03:08 PM

Made a little mistake

We have to make a huge tower, construction whatever so i have to start over

Searching for a good construction on the top of the tower:
(Going to remover the construction on top of the tower, it feels weird.

EDIT: shadow was wrong

**Lyno** · November 14th, 2007, 03:55 PM

My final tower on a A3:

**ghoulio** · November 14th, 2007, 04:28 PM

I already see lots of improvement, you practice a lot too...that´s the way, wish I had more time haha...

Dus oefenen oefenen.

See ya...

**Lyno** · November 23rd, 2007, 07:09 AM

Thx ghoulio

The teacher said that the shadows of my tower were too soft. He also said that i have to work on my line thickness.
Next thing we had to do: draw our camera and colour it with markers.

Next assignment: We have to design a race bicycle. I will post some sketches this evening.
