The Gare Bear Count Down --- (Garrett Hanna's Sketchbook) Dec.11th 2007 Update

[Garrett Hanna]

Hey everyone!

I've decided to start up a sketchbook here on Conceptart.org because I've been peaking around and finding some amazing and inspiring artists here and I'd love to get some solid and very useful feedback on my work from y'all.

So I'll just dump some new and old stuff I've got.








Did this using mainly Mathias' brushes.




also using Mathias' brushes.




I'm not too fond of this one but it goes up because I did it recently.


Not a hug fan of this one either.


HOUSE










Concept art for my group film project this year.


Background I did for digital painting class.


Life drawing I coloured on the computer using Idiot Apathy's technique.




Cafe drawings from last year. I plan to do a lot of more of these because I want to get good at them. I don't have that amazing caricature touch some people have.

Thanks for looking!!!

[Ruffy]

ooh man... i love your style... keep posting!

[kveye]

like the first 5 paintings) nice stuff, keep posting
hehe, i also use m@'s brushes sometimes)

[Sofa King]

I'm liking these paintings you have here, the second and third ones really stand out to me, the movement and direction in those two is real nice. The cafe drawings are pretty cool too, they're not overly exaggerated like typical caricature drawings but they still have plenty personality. The House portrait cracked me up, it really captures that miserable but arrogant look he has in the show.

Looking forward to the next update.

[daveneale]

awsome stlye and colours....the links seem to be sporadic at the mo tho (when I refresh different ones arent showing up), looking forward to more

[matejkovacic]

Pretty nice stuff. Some solid character desing and good colors.

Keep it up!

Hey Garrett, good to see another sheridan animation student on here.

I really love the feel of this one - http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...inished-LQ.jpg

Nice range of digital paintings here. Keep it up dude.

[Flipnastywebby]

I love your use of color!

i might gank Mathias' brushes tonight after seeing the wonderful textures they have

keep posting, love your stuff


Slainte!

[Tigermilk]

hey!
Wow, this thread is really awesome. Love the colors in the top paintings, great contrasts too. Do I sence frank frazetta in the air btw?
Thanks for your inputs in my thread. Keep posting!!

[skrubbles]

Great work! I'm really lovin' the second piece you posted

[Garrett Hanna]

Ruffy: Thanks man!

Kveye: Thank you. I love M@'s brushes man. so many cool textures.

Sofa King: Thanks, those ones are also my personal favourites. I think feeling should come first in an image and structure and anatomy and all that second. Even though I don't always do that, I still think it should be the way to go about art.

daveneale: Thanks man, ya I was tweaking the order of the images and whatnot for a bit there.

matejkovacic: Thanks dude.

Amazing Action Ape Hey Braden! Thanks man, I like that piece because I did it a couple years ago and I've tried to reproduce the style but I'm always unsuccessful. SHERIDAN REPRESENT!!!

Flipnastywebby Thanks man! Ya go give them a try, I highly recommend them.

Tigermilk No problem man, and thanks! I love Frank Frazetta. He's my favourite and the most inspiring artist to me.

skrubbles Thank you skrubbles, much appreciated.

I got a couple new things here. I was trying a different style. More cartoony. I like to switch things up when I do one genre too much. I get bored easily.





Thanks for looking!

[JesArt]

Your artwork is a work of motion, its very gravitating and thats thing I love about your artwork, you show motion, keep on doing it man.

[Garrett Hanna]

JesArt Thanks! I love seeing art that has life and motion in it so I've been trying to get it in my stuff lately. It's really hard though.

Couple new things and a WIP.






This is the WIP

Thanks for looking!

[Mr-Joe]

Hey nice works,

I like the cyclopse, great expression on him.

You have some great work on your blog, the cartoon animals from the zoo, the life drawing stuff, the monkey that needs genital to genital connection animation! awesome!, and this one is funny: http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZyWS57tcaa8/...600/Trevor.jpg

Really fun to look through.

[Amazing Action Ape]

I like this recent batch you've put up, and I like the textures on the helmet and the expression, but be careful with the perspective. Something about that one just doesnt sit right with me. The other two are pretty cool, the second one is painted well, but seems rather boring compositionally. The third is great, nice lines of action, good motion, looking forward to seeing you work this one up, but watch your proportions though, the fuzzy monster's left hand is far smaller than the right.

[marioucci]

ABSURDLY COOL!

Its like frazetta on a good mood day. and even when you go bad mood you kick some ass.
beautiful work mate.

Mario

[Garrett Hanna]

Mr Joe THanks man! I'm really happy you enjoy the more cartoony stuff on my blog. I love doing it so it's really appreciated man. Thankyou!

Amazing Action Ape You're right Braden. The composition is boring on the viking one and the perspective is a bit wonky on the helmet one. I still need to pay more attention to stuff like that when I approach an image. With the cyclops though, his hands were suppose to be in perspective. I guess if you didn't see it then I didn't do my job correctly lol. I'll work on it some more. Thanks a lot for the critique man.

Marioucci Wow thanks man! Very flattering thing to say haha!

[Einen]

You've dazzled the bejesus out of me, sir! Amazing stuff. Will be sure to pop in here once in a while.

[oishiiniku]

Great stuff in here! Good variety and some really interesting palettes. Your figures have a nice 'swooshiness' to them as well.

Looking forward to more.

Ta, nick.

[silarvalla]

wow, what a great portfolio of work!,
clearly some frazetta influences in the first few (which is always fun to see) you also have some truly excellent digital rendering skills,
with a good handle on color and character
cant wait to see the next installment
cheers
