-M.Aberg´s Sketchbook-

[M.Aberg]

Hello all!

Im starting up a new sketchbook because my old one feels a bit outdated. I havent updated it for a couple of years actually :/ I will do my best to keep this one alive.

I feel excited to give this another go. Hope you will enjoy my artwork

My first contributions

[M.Aberg]

Zbrush stuff.

[IanE]

I like where this is going.

Please proceed.

[M.Aberg]

A work in progress.

Thanks IanE

Really cool. I especially like the statue image and the zbrush work is very interesting.

What I would shoot for, and something I'm trying to work on myself, is fleshing out your forms with more volume and confidence. (I don't mean to sound like a shampoo commercial) With a lot of the pieces here you have the areas of light and shadow blended smoothly, which makes them look flat and formless. Try to make the forms 'pop' with more confident, defined areas of light and dark.

Sweet.

Hey man, good start to your sketchbook. I'm with Drin on the statue image, that's definitely my favourite - it has a real sense of form to it. The Z-Brush stuff is showing some promise too, maybe firm up some of the shapes with anatomy ref; the lizard man's shoulder blades for example. He's a cool figure though - I'd love to see a lizard tongue darting out as well for some extra character!

Keep it up dude.

Graphite portrait of my sister that i gave her for christmas.

[Shadowseeker]

Realy like the pencil and graphite sketches... And the portrait rocks

[Amarok]

Your studies are looking good, but your figure drawings seem to lack dimensionality/ they look a little flat. Maybe when you're doing studies it would be of benefit for you to spend some time doing studies where you just focus on the overall geometric shapes/structure to make sure you really get the 3-dimensionality of bodies. Think about where things are in space!

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...1&d=1274435646 is just awesome! You grasped it!

If not from photo-reference - even more respect (but even if so, still very good)!

[Heavens]

Loving it!

[M.Aberg]

Shadowseeker: Thanks

Amarok: Thanks for your contructive critisism I agree with you.

Graworks: It´s from reference. Thanks
