Some stuff from my sketchbook.
The first page was from national geographic, the second is me being goofy with my mouth and teeth + some caricatures.
The second set, I was working with 'Constructive Anatomy' by Geo B. Bridgeman (I "borrowed" my art teacher's copy). I tried not to copy it too much and used my own style of drawing in it >_>

[Eerin]

AWESOME. I'm so happy you finally started a sketchbook! I think I'm gonna do a self-portrait too now, haha.

Great studies and fantastic first posts. Keep it coming!!!

[eromenos]

I did these like.. months ago for CalArts portfolio so it was probably done in like December or before. After that my parents wouldn't let me do figure drawing anymore since they thought it was too naughty for me XD

[ShroudStar]

Nice figures, Eromenos. Shame about the folks not seeing it as anything other than naughty. Still, I like your take on Bridgman's studies and your self-portrait is wonderful with the color, brushstrokes, and outline. Ties it all together.

[a la bapsi]

awesome new sketchbook!
i'm kinda bummed about you not getting into art center. ;o; you totally would have gotten into the illustration major with the stuff you had, too! whyyyyyyy did you do what you did whyyyyyyyy Dx

your self portrait's awesome. I'm watching this sketchbook, i'd love to see your progress at calarts or ringling. *_*

[hunchback]

holy ...

wow man really solid work.
figures are really amzing, maybe a bit short?
but really great rythm and movement. Your line is incredible.

im going to have to do a self portrait now.

more more more

[DaStreets]

Great work, i love the off-white sketchbook. Nice Brigdman too, keep posting

[Jamie Romoser]

Nice start for your sketchbook ^^

[Stephen Mason]

i think solid is the perfect word to use, your building solid foundations cant give any other critique than to keep going. i cant wait to get to my day of drawing now ive seen your work. x

[Flashback]

Nice sketchbook, keep drawing!

[anibawl]

Very sweet pictures. Your faces in your sketchbook have really great lines. Hope to see a lot more from you :]

[Hapun]

Kitty, you finally started a sketchbook! Now keep updating I know for a fact you have tons of sketches.

(Hahaha I see my caricature)

[eromenos]

Sorry for the less than spectacular post >_>

APGov sketches... i know not very government-y except for the supreme court justice caricature. On the left I drew that when I was in APGov during lecture. On the left caricature and a little thing reffed from characterdesign.com


What can I say.. i got really bored so I decided to practice on the technical side. Still not that good since I'm not very good at mecha but I like how its got the 80s, 70s pseudo future sci-fi look

:B Sorry I dun have a better update...

[Captain.Colour]

You're drawings are very good. I love the way you shade its so smooth.

[Rustveld]

Nice start for your sketchbook! Your pencils are really good.
I keep seeing these yellow paper around, where can I find these?
Keep it up!

[eromenos]

EVERYONE: Thank you for your comments! They made me feel oodles better after being rejected by art center XD

Rustveld: I use a moleskine sketchbook.

They have an awesome leathery black cover with yellow tinted pages and white edges They are totally kickass and you can find them at most art stores (xept for Michaels and Aaron Brothers) and you can find them at BORDERS

I bought my first at Utrecht (sent it to CalArts) and I got my second one at Borders. They are a bit pricey at I think about $18 for 100 paged sketchbook(thats about the size of a journal). I got the Borders one at $12 cause I had a coupon >_>

HAR EVERYONE GET A MOLESKINE!

[Bill]

You're 18 and headed to Cal Arts or Ringling? You're in an amazing situation in life, congrats. Nice stuff too btw.

[eromenos]

CG UPDATE Reffed from Enayla's mask series :{D] Practice on CGing without using any layer and image adjustments.
Time: 1 hour (I GOTTA DRAW FASTER D

[akabraille]

Dude I love how you rock your moleskine with those solid lines and your selfportrait's great color combo is kickass. I'll be watching your sketchbook, keep cranking them out.

Cheers

[bharat]

fine things.....!

[Eerin]

I love Enayla's masked series =) you did a nice implementation of that too, the mask looks like it has real feathers. Keep posting!

[Hapun]

Yay new study!

Now keep posting EROERO

[eromenos]

I did the San Jose Stat Uni. figure drawing workshop for high schoolers last week (har my parents didn't know about it sshh).

The instructor taught us to draw the shape of the forms before hand and made us concentrate on the torso... I really suck at rectangles >_>

I have horrible perspective on these since I'm more used to just gesture work, capturing the form quickly so I just trust my eye on most things... This makes me break down the form and made me realized.. I've got a really long way to go before I get any good >_>

[Leonor]

Five starts already? Yay you! Nice studies, both the observation and imagination ones.

Everyone is into the moleskine. I got one but meh, never used it. I like the Windson & Newton leathery artist's journal far better. Not as pricey, but still pricey and more posh looking.

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Great SB you got here mate, good understanding of form, and good drawings, keep it up mate, and I will check back with some more contstructive crits

-E

[Eerin]

Ooo update! =D

How long were these? 1 min? 2 min? Pretty neat xD you should put more tone down though, if you have time either that, or its the camera that's not catching your shading correctly. We need to get going on that ChOW by the way... yikes!

[eromenos]

We weren't even supposed to fill it in. Like we were supposed to draw them sack-like.. i didn't wanna do that XD

[ShroudStar]

Those new studies look great. I find the rectangular method rather handy, too because it's so easy to derail everything without that box keeping things straight. What caught my eye this time round was your sketch of the females with the blue coloring - great flowing lines and the touches of blue (Highlighter? Marker?) really make them stand out. Hee to the sci-fi. XD Good to see the variety in those.
