···Ricardo´s Sketchbook (Watercolor, Digitals and Fun)···

[Ricardo Robles]

Hello guys! Thanks for the comments everyone!
Kingkostas thank you mate! you´re right, the suit distracts the attention. I´ll do something with it..
Morgado hahaha I thought you were talking about putting it in a thumbnail.. my english is limited..
well it took me about 4-5 hours of relaxed work, including all the process.The original drawing size is twice the current one.
Kuidf^! thank you!

Protoceratops, one of my favourite dinos;D

[Quike Garcia]

Muy guapos estos dinosaurios

[rampopo]

sobretodo alucino con tus diseños altamente complejos y muy bien elaborados. un acabado y un saber hacer admirable.

saludos.

[Ricardo Robles]

¡Quike gracias!
¡Rampopo gracias por tus palabras!
another dino, a classic. this is only watercolor and a little of color enrichment in ps.

[kingkostas]

su dinosaurios son impresionantes
mantener!!!
I hope mantener means keep up
the other was from memory, i still have to study harder the language, cause i am gonna give exams at may.
hasta luego

[Morgado]

So I reckon you got the comissions? Nice one!

Although that museum is clearly outdated, the velociraptor is more featherly these days

[Quike Garcia]

Jejeje, no se si has leído Shanna de Frank Cho, está lleno de raptors Me gusta mucho el tuyo

[Ricardo Robles]

Kingkostas thank you, you said it in infinitive mode, like "to keep". Get lucky with the exams and if you need some help just tell it to me, ok?
Morgado, thanks, I´m the outdated Yeah I saw a feathered raptor, but didn´t know if it was a fictional interpretation.. so I decided to go the classic raptor. They don´t asked for concrete dinosaurs, just I've done a compilation of pictures to see if can work with them. I hope they only consider my drawing technique and not my knowledge of paleontology hahaha mmm brr now don´t know what version is better..
Quique no lo he leído, pero acabo de echarle un vistazo a los dibujos, es una especie de guerrera bárbara a lo conan ¿no? Muy guapa.
¡gracias!!

Well, I'm not sure, but I think paleontologists haven't agreed on which one is closer to reality.
So I guess as long as you tell them (the museum guys) that you are aware that they may want the feathered versions, which is ok, it should be fine

This last sketch is pretty cool!

[kingkostas]

This looks very nice,specially the stairs
keep up and thnx

[dierat]

Love that protoceratops, the value is just awesome. Keep it up!

[Ricardo Robles]

Hello guys!
Morgado thanks, sure it´s the best option.
Kingkostas thanks dude, the stairs zone is the less manipulated..
Dierat thank you very much!

let me present to you Beni, not 100% finished
some hand studies
a not finished alien thing, that came out while I was messing around with vector deformation.

[Leo Ki]

The naiad has so cuuute a smile Una sonrisa llena de dientes.
I hope you get to work with the museum, the dinos are great.
No se si este alien esta mirando hacia mi pero me da escalofrios en serio, una verdadera figura de pesadilla!

[KromNz]

Wow están excelentes eso dinosaurios! y me encanta la forma que presentas sus nombres, de una forma muy iconográfica para cada animal!
El Beni esta súper bien, me gusta mucho ver como logras enseñar su personalidad con la pose y su vestuario. Supondré que el personaje salta de dimensión a dimensión por medio de la lectura de su libro
Excelente trabajo como siempre!

[Ricardo Robles]

Leo yes, she´s beautiful, do you want a little kiss from her?
kromnz, gracias compañero, me alegro mucho de que te gusten.

[kingkostas]

hehe interestin rendering in this creature mate.How you done this very delicate graduations in the head?

[Ricardo Robles]

Hello king, thanks! I started this precisely with the head, playing with the mesh tool in illustrator. the head is a vectorial form but unfortunately i did´n save it to show it to you. you can see it better in the other stage of the image.
I do it sometimes when the form is delicate, like a weapon or a figure with very precise edges, but this time was a coincidence.

[Morgado]

Cool stuff Ricardo, I especially dig that fat guy, has a strange (in a good way) look on his face.

The alien has lots of potential as well!

[Cacodaemonia]

Awesome sb! Your dinosaurs are gorgeous, and I like this bizarre creature you've been working in.

[Ricardo Robles]

Hello people!
Morgado thank you mate, I´m working in new characters.
Cacodaemonia, thank you for visiting!

Well I post it there but quickly will be in the FF section, just to present it to you. I think i´m beginning with an environement phase
Lost City of Cyclops, hope you like it.

[Morgado]

You should do everything like that!

[Rushlord]

Morgado is right. Sweet enviroment man.

[Quike Garcia]

OOoooooooooooooooolé macho!!! se sale

[Cacodaemonia]

This is AWESOME!! I really love how you made the large tower on the left look like a giant holding a sword.

[kingkostas]

awesome enviro, really!!!I wanna play in there
Great mate keep up!!!!

[Ricardo Robles]

Hi everyone,
Morgado i´m happy you like it man. thanks!
Rushlord thank you too!
Quique gracias chacho! estoy esperando nuevos updates tuyos!!
Cacodaemonia thank you mate, it is suposed to be a cyclop with a sword.
Kingkostas thanks alot, you would find a difficult stage
some new things i´m working on

[kingkostas]

this gonna be great The composition looks very interesting
see ya

[latigid]

You have some beautiful work in here i love your use of colour and you watercolours are outstanding!!

[Morgado]

I don't wanna say again that you do cool stuff, so I'm not, just because

A comment though: you ever thought of trying it out by establishing shape instead of lines? You could be amazed at the results (after some frustration to get the hang of it)

[Ricardo Robles]

Thanks for your comments!
Kingkostas and Latigid thank you very much guys!
Morgado haha thanks, most of the time I start making lines, maybe it´s a way to feel secure about the shapes. but you´re true, I definitely think is a better way to do things. Think I need to feel more loose to draw blocking without lines, and sometimes i do it in concrete zones, but not with the whole image.
Obrigado pelo conselho.
