This is my sketchbook, first I upload what I do till now to get an ideea what is my actual level... old paintings...

[laurghita]

Some digitals... with ARTRAGE...

[laurghita]

And finally the real sketchs, pencil

[nurraymjo]

I really love your paintings and pencil work. I'm such a huge fan of the more traditional art. It's really nice to see work like this, keep it up.

[Gadbury]

Cool sketchbook mate, shows you are versatile and confident with a range of mediums. Good diversity in subject and style too, great stuff!

[Newman101]

Wow, I really love the concepts youve come up with. Just alot of really fantastic stuff. Though it seems your rendering is a bit rough, especially with the pencils. The shading just seems really chaotic and not so smooth. And I cant really tell if you are going for dense hatching or gradation.

One thing to remember is, when shading, move your pencil in the same general direction with each stroke and try to keep an even tempo with your marks. Usually that will help make it feel less chaotic.

Either way, the stuff looks good, and I cant wait to see what else you create

nurraymjo, Mr. Gadbury Thanks for yours kind words...

Thats because I lack practice and I have doubts after every line/shadow I draw if is on the right place or not...
I am ready to throw here hundreds of studies, till then I am at this drawing stage:

[laurghita]

Hands study after photo...

[laurghita]

Withot reference, mostly to educate the pencil stroke...

[laurghita]

A few new drawings...

[laurghita]

This is what I draw on daily basis, selection from the last weeks...

[laurghita]

I try also pastel thing:

[laur2000ad]

ma frate,ai un stil asa haotic in creion,mi-ar place sa mai vad niste picturi de la tine,sunt superbe,,,nu stiu ce sa-ti recomand ca si eu sunt tot beginer ,m-am apucat dupa o pauza de 10 ani de desen,dar parerea mea este sa insisti mai mult pe creion cu mai multa rabdare si sa mai faci ceva in ulei sau in ce lucrezi tu ca la culoare le ai

[laurghita]

Of course I will try to do more color but because I lack drawing skills I try to enhace that first.
Another bunch of late drawings:

[laurghita]

I follow that advice and retry my vision in color.
Artrage Studio Pro 3.0, one layer, a zoomed detail from a bigger composition:

[laurghita]

That WIP evolved in this... 100% detail, as you can see, even if the first face look finished I repainting it, so can't be sure if they remain the same till the final, the hands are to little also, but I will fix that issue when I know what are the final story's gestures.
ArtRage Studio Pro, classic approach.
