Dannelf's Sketchbook! Help me grow (artisticly)!

[Sebastian Gromann]

update dude ! dont waste your time ! :o

[Dannelf]

ChuanMing: Thanks for all the good advices man! I'll do my next digi in grayscale at first. I've been looking around the internet for brushes also, and there's alot of great stuff! It'll be colouring like hell when I get a tablet!

SnobbyOo: Haha! My scanner does not work, but just because you were asking I took my time scanning the pics into my brother's computer, and transfered them to mine! Thanks for pushing me bro!


Some bridgeman studies! Really enojoyed these!








Other studies




And some imaginative work done while waiting on the bus!

[Jussi Tarvainen]

Dannelf, cool bugs you got going on here. I was going to say you should take some anatomy studies and life drawings in but it look's like you're on top of things. Good Hogath stuff!

[Flaskpost]

tjabba! du sköter ju studierna fint. =)
tänk på linjekvalitén, och hur du renderar.
låt linjerna du skuggar med följa formen!

[Sebastian Gromann]

hehe GREAT STUDIES ! your driving very fast, and its awesome that uve got so much fun. you'r going there! now got a tablet and get into digital ! but dude -> go on with the studies. im watching u 8D

[Dannelf]

yousa: Thanks for the support! I'll drop by your sketchbook to check things out!

Flaskpost: Tack för tipset! Ska försöka tänka mer på linjerna, men gamla vanor är svåra att bryta!

SnobbyOo: Promise I will keep on chap! the tablet will be purchased in the end of the summer! Thanks for the kind words, and for keeping me active!


An imaginative drawing of myself! My first serious thing in ages! (might finish it someday to use it as an avatar)



And ofcourse some studies with ref. from bridgeman! haha!

[ChuanMing]

Hey man, just wanna say you're doing great! bridgeman stuff is looking good and your imaginative stuff is improving nicely! Want to see more digi's though!

Also, try to pay more attention to the lightsource, because, in your last fully rendered drawing, I can't seem to find the lightsource! Other than that, you're doing great man!

[xinranliu]

Here's a little something you can try, take a study you copied from an anatomy book, then try to draw it again but without looking at the book. It certainly would be worst than the first one so I would redo the same study again.

[Nibras]

yeay i like big improvments and i cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny lol
I envy you and that your alloweed to do studies of peepz lol
nice improvment though, imagentive stuff is becoming very nice
you going into more dynamic poses and more creativity
keep it up

[Dannelf]

ChuanMing: Thanks dude! I've got a digi for you right here!
Yeah, guess i messed up things with that! Will be better next time!

Ronald Liu: Good tip! Thanks man!

lilnebo: You're not allowed to do studies of people? It seems, just by having one little peek in your sb, that figures is the thing you draw most of everything!
Thank you really much for the encouragement!

A quite quick digi. I call it Highfly! ^^ haha

[Sir_E_Pent]

WOW, I think we have the same book. ;o)

[Dannelf]

Hoghart or bridgeman?

Sketch I did yesterday, just didn't bother scanning. I focused quite much on linequality and did'nt sketch as much as I usually do!

[Suira]

Hey Dan, nice to see you're getting better bro, keep it up

[DefiledVisions]

Tjena Dannelf!

Nice progress Fortsätt studera anatomi, skitgött.

[Dannelf]

Thanks guys!

Sorry for the lack of updates. There will be a bunch of imaginative works tomorrow when I get my finger out and start scanning!
Gotta get some discipline god dammit!

[Dannelf]

Here's my first attempt of doing a cloud in photoshop (still whitout tablet). Got inspired after having a peek in Rusnak's sketchbook.
Drawings will be here tomorrow!

[Grafguy]

those anatomy studies look very good, keep on goin!!

[Dannelf]

Thankyou Grafguy! I'll stop by your sb later!

So, here's my drawings from the last week. Not much to say about them.

A bridgeman studie:




And some imaginative works:




Tryed to recall some anatomy studies form head (like derriere told me), and some anatomy over all.
This is how it turned out:

[Dannelf]

Okey, so it's not what it seems like. I've been productive the last days and drawn alot. But most of it is'nt worth showing. I made a page with series, but it ended up with a boring anime-style so the hell with it!
I've been picking out half of the stuff i've been drawing to show, because the rest is just bullshit.

First some halfcrappy scribbles




The balalaika-idea was quite fun I thought, though the drawing is messy.



And some bridgemans as well.

[markey2d]

the studies your doing are looking great, so definitely keep them up and increase them.

your doing good.

[Dannelf]

Ey thanks dude! I'll drop by later!

I've been kind of lazy recently, though I've been drawing at least 20 minutes a day.. (heh)

I bought a A5 sketchblock which I could bring everywhere. So I filled one page up with bodies drawn from imagination. Gave myself like 1 minute each, so the lines got VERY messy.



So after having a more carefull peek on them I challenged myself to just use ONE SINGEL line as an exercise. (did not plan the pooses at all)



And here's an eye I did with ref.

[Nibras]

Getting good!
hahaha!
I like all those imaginative drawings and seeing you get creative!
Oh btw i meant am not alloweed to study nudes which is why i dont
But anywayz doing great man!
keep it up

[Flaskpost]

här går det undan!
fortsätt ösa på med bridgmans!

[Suira]

Nice idea the one of the line. Another idea, try to draw using no lines, but just shading and being very carefull with the values, it also helps

[Dannelf]

lilnebo: Thanks alot mate! Without beeing creative at sometime in a while, this would really suck!
Thanks for sticking with me!

Flaskpost: Självklart! Tack för besöket!

Suira: I'll give it a try, just because your advices always have been helpfull mate! Thanks for stopping by!


Sorry for beeing as inactive guys! Thanks alot for keep pushing me and giving me advices!

This is all worth shown from the last week.



Found these characters quite amusing!

[Dannelf]

So now I've ordered this little thing! It will hopefully be here in 3 days!

[kidult]

Awesome you must be very excited!

[lilou]

very good stuff so far! you're pretty much of a worker, huh?
however, it pys off, you made some great improvement
love tho pose studies, those really do help, i can tell!!
you digital rendering has improved too but still there is not enough variety
last advice on your pencils try to loosen up your line. do this by drawing without rising your pen from the paper. and do also some hatching practices!! hatching can look pretty awesome, if done right

bye
Diana

[Tigermilk]

Dannelf, great studies!!! Keep doing bridgeman, love the one single line exercise too. I'm sure you must be exited about the wacom, however, remember not to forget your regular studies though. Or you know pencil on paper. ,)

Anywyas, keep to it!

[Porg]

Just seen all this and very interesting to see how you've improved over time. The anatomy studies are great although try drawing a few skeletal structures, it could help you remember where all the muscles are placed. It would also help your proportions and scaling.

Anyway, all good. Keep going.
