Bag of Tricks ~ A Sketchbook ~ June 24

[hunchback]

hey man nice work on the teen challenge this week.

gotta a great volume of work here, keep it up

[LtPlissken]

Hey, the pink girl is beautiful, as you said with its simplicity.
You are my hero.

[Pixie Trick]

hunchback: Thanks! Not bad work yourself.

LtPlissken: Do you go out of your way to make me blush. Really? I mean, I'm pretty close to getting sunburn here. You could be a little more conscientious.

I'm amused that no one has commented on how she has two of the same feet. I am sometimes very oblivious

Here's two little wips.

[DK_sketch]

Awsome water tab I had to do a double take at first cause i wasn´t sure if i had seen it right .
the fountain looks great as well, it´s a bit bright all over but since it´s a wip i guess you´ll fix that later.
keep working hard

[knoxie]

hey pixie trick! still at it, good to see! The more we draw, the better we get!

[BlackDelphin]

The sketches from the other page look good.
Glad to see you finishing your 'Love' peace too. It is good to finish more complex work

I am looking forward to see that other wip being finished too.

And from what i see, you're doing fine, but a bit more figure flow and all around figure studies would be great.

[Cacodaemonia]

Haha, oh wow, I just noticed the matching feet on that girl! Scary! XD

I'm intrigued by the last image you posted. It looks like a design for some kind of elaborate, fantasy sink fixture. Am I right?

For the horse guy, be careful of the horse's anatomy. It looks to me like its neck is longer than its legs, and the legs seem a bit bow-legged.

[Pixie Trick]

DK_Sketch: Thanks. I don't think I'll finish that wip anytime soon. Toooooo much going on!!!!

knoxie: Very true.

Blacky: Thanks.

Cacodaemonia: 'Tis the tap for the tub of Mad King Yves who loved swans too much. That horse is going to get major anatomical overhaul when I manage to find spare time.

IDW final. It's not as finished as I would like, but I ran out of time.



Some fun and a sketch. Learned a lot from the green ps sketch.

[BlackDelphin]

These weekly challenges, really do challenge one to get the job done, fast and well.
you did a great job not turning the IDW in a envo. I really llike the design and the clean mood those colours give.
I think the perspective is a bit wonky though.

I can see you playing in your 2nd and 3rd drawings
Will you work some more on the last one? It's an interesting idea.

See you pix!!
And thank you for the mega comment on my sb, i'm going to read it now.

[DK_sketch]

Great update pixie the tub is awsome really gives the impression of someone extremely eccentric
the girl with the green background is looking good as, well there is a nice balance with the green eyes that makes her sit well in the image.
keep it up

[Pixie Trick]

Blacky: Yeah, I used orthogonal perspective on the tub (parallelism) and then tried it on the floor but it just looked even wonkier. I had gotten too much of the tub done to do any quick fixes so it's stuck the way it is.

DK_sketch: Thank you!

Just one study for you guys. Gotta scan some pencils later. It took a ridiculous amount of time for how polished it is. Soooo many mistakes from the original, but artistic license let's say! Overall I'm happy. Made a nice freckle brush too.

[BlackDelphin]

I really like how it turned out pixie!
The freckles look really good, and that nose has some confident strokes.

You should have spent a bit more time refining the hair a bit too!
It doesn't seem to match the light source to well as it is..

[jskotte]

Really nice face in the last post and also the bathtub further up the page looks really good.

[Pixie Trick]

Blakcy: Thanks. The ref photos had a bit of excessive adjustments in ps so most of the hair is black and you can't tell what's going on. I fixed it a bit.

jskotte: Thanks.

Basicly just touchups. A little ps sketch or two, and some fun with love girl from the previous page. And proof that I fixed the foot. In no particular order.

Must scan pencils.... but so tired.

[BlackDelphin]

More, More!!

You're doing it!!

[Pixie Trick]

Black Delphin:

The pencils. I cut out the more boring stuff. I quite like making little critters.

[Pixie Trick]

Two portraits. You know you're cool when you have knives on your hat.

[Doom-Breath]

Love the portraits there, and all those studies!

Is that king's bath-tub supposed to be tilted like that?

[Exon-Ion]

Those creatures you've drawn in pencil are great and so are those portraits in your latest piece, keep working hard girl!

[BlackDelphin]

Overall great job pix!
I really like those arm and leg studies. Real life i presume?

Characters and creatures look fun, value studies as well.
Try posting like this more often!!

[jskotte]

Arms and legs look good, specially the shading on the arm you shades. Animal stuff is great, so much inspiration from animals. Also the portraits look good, specially the right one, the nose looks a little weird on the left one.

[Nlete]

Hey Pixie Trick,
It was great to run through your sketchbook. You are talented and very creative. I like your style and that you try everything, crafting, egg-painting, mosaic stuff, etc. Keep up the good work!

[Justyna]

Hi,
thanks for visiting my SB

I went through all your thread and I really liked it, especially the way you paint animals and it looks like you've got a lot of imagination

Your doing great!

[mike butkus]

You certainly have talent, and the portrait in post # 284 is extraordinary, keep up the brilliant work!

[Pixie Trick]

My goodness! So many people.

Doom-Breath: Thanks! Ummm... no the tub's not supposed to be tilted. I used a combo of orthogonal (parallelism) and two point perspective and it makes it look a bit wonky.

Exon-Ion: Thank you.

Blacky: Yep, real life. The legs are too, except for the small ones at the bottom. Ha, I would post like that more often if I had time! It was a long weekend and I had no homework. Now I'm starting exam review and life is getting super busy again.

jskotte: Thanks. He just has a very large and beaky nose.

Nlete: Thanks.

Justyana: You're welcome. Thank you.

mike butkus: Thanks!

Some heads. I got more and more bored therefore creative as I went along as you can tell. I also did an enviro forest study that I seem to have misplaced. I really wanted crits on it too. Pooo. Enviros are killer.

[DK_sketch]

Looking good pixie. The pencils looks nice and clean, good confident strokes
the greyscales could use more value intensity to give it more depth but that´s pretty much all the crit i can give.
keep up the hard work

[MyioDeSopsia]

I love the different heads you've drawn, they've got such personality and I like the animals and the outfits you come up with in your pencil drawings. Also, that swan faucet looks amazing.
All I can recommend is it'd be cool to see more observational studies from you. keep it up.

[jskotte]

Yeah, some faces are just a bit weird
New stuff looks great, good to see so many different expression. Nice line work.

[BlackDelphin]

I see you varying gender and age, that is good.
I wish you luck with your upcoming exams pix, and come back with more studies!

[LtPlissken]

I did not posted for a long time here. Sorry about that.
I just wanted you to know that I am still following and that your progress is wonderful.
My latest favorite is this one:
