Hey people from CA, here's my SB. Hopefully you all see some drastic improvement over de coming months. Criticism, well contructive in any case, is highly appriciated.

**Toobs** · September 10th, 2009, 06:12 PM

Not entirely sure how this works, as I'm typing this.. But I'll see.

Selfportrait

arm studies.. Since we don't have any great anatomical classes at our college.

**LjK_89** · September 10th, 2009, 07:10 PM

nice studies, esp. the arm and torso done with the white lines.

**Toobs** · September 13th, 2009, 04:48 PM

Thanks Ljk, I just feel so freaking bad at drawing looking at everything here, inspires me though! o.O
yet another arm drawing, but it's a traditional one. I'll upload more sketches soon ^^, kind of busy these weeks! Loving the forum so much

**Toobs** · September 16th, 2009, 03:17 PM

Critique much appreciated!

Just a doodle I did

Trying to learn light/shadow values.

**Toobs** · October 30th, 2009, 03:42 AM

Trying stuff out in Photoshop, though I really want to start Painter on short term aswel

Friend of mine commited suicide past weekend. So I made a little fast sketch as for a tribute. He had borderline and we never even knew.. Always wearing a mask I guess :|

This represents that mask a bit, but how I and all of his friends feel.

I want to draw so much, the place I'm currently doing my internship as a 3D artist is really inspiring me alot. Though I'm like 13 hours away due to the travling times.. I just can't finish anything, or even start. It'll come though, once I go back to college. (which is in january). Somehow I'm scared to use alot of contrast, though I really think it's a neccesity! I just ruin stuff if I try to.

face study doodle

**~Faust~** · December 16th, 2009, 08:02 AM

Hey, keep on building up man! I like your drawings, that bridgman study has a great expression, yet great insight to it. What about keeping a real little scetchbook? Scribble stuff on the toilet or on the way to work, draw your food on lunchbreak or design something. I would like to see more traditional stuff.

I am sorry about your friend. If it is any consolidation, the piece is strong. Art that is drawn from the necessicity to be honest and express what can't be put in words is always very strong.

Take care mate!

**Toobs** · December 16th, 2009, 10:41 AM

Thanks man, coming from a Groninger! I really should post more traditional stuff, and I will!

Thanks for the kind words.

**Toobs** · December 23rd, 2009, 04:48 AM

Tried painting in PS again

**Toobs** · December 23rd, 2009, 07:19 AM

Quick sketchy something

**Toobs** · December 23rd, 2009, 09:35 AM

Some facestudies from today

**Toobs** · December 23rd, 2009, 10:11 AM

My dog, it's a pug.. yeah, only a tad buffed.
He has these rampage moments when he's getting a treat

**Toobs** · December 24th, 2009, 05:37 AM

Another arm study

**Toobs** · December 24th, 2009, 08:51 AM

**Toobs** · December 24th, 2009, 11:15 AM

doodle

**Nutella** · December 24th, 2009, 11:37 AM

The studies of the arms and the face are really paying off. I love those stylized portraits especially!

**~Faust~** · December 25th, 2009, 07:43 PM

Wow it's strange, your hands look quite nice but the arms looks rather hastily constructed. Normally it's the other way around. You have some very nice lines, though, especially this is nice: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...1&d=1261651033

Good to see you drawing more on paper!

**Toobs** · December 28th, 2009, 08:56 AM

It's done in PS though o.O But thanks for comment, I try! I'll post some normal sketches aswell

**Lav** · December 28th, 2009, 02:28 PM

very cool and funny sketchbook so far, really nice studies as well. Are you using bridgeman studies? And i usually am too afraid to use a lot of contrast as well, tho i would recommend you to experiment and try it a bit more

great stuff tho, keep up the great work

**Jeshuea** · December 28th, 2009, 03:11 PM

Nifty stuff. Your arm studies really make me want to do my own. Especially the one that has the different angles of movement with the same base. Never thought of that before.

**Toobs** · January 21st, 2010, 04:25 PM

Been awhile since I posted another doodle

@ Lav: thanks! and nope

Should I? I just sketch in the trein and stuff. It's all imagination.

@ Jeshuea: Ah, yeah man go for it! And thanks alot for the kind words

**Gthm/death** · May 23rd, 2010, 01:05 PM

pretty interesting sketchbook you've got here....... I really liked your drawing of the buffed up pug....... keep posting man

**Rhoades** · May 23rd, 2010, 01:56 PM

Nice looking sketchbook so far. The pug is awesome! Your arm studies are pretty good too, just keep up the studies! I'd recommend straying away form bridgman/loomis books at times and just study the skeletal figure! Keep it up!

**Toobs** · August 26th, 2010, 11:12 AM

@Death I will

@Rhoades I love meh pug..! Thanks

I never studied bridgeman/loomis, but I should study figure indeed!

hmmh been ages, but I'm starting again.. Might even attend an art college next year here in Holland. Not entirely sure yet though. Anyways, here's a really fast drawn WIP!
Not sure if it's ever going to happen, contrast, lighting.. color! It seems so hard haha. The below WIP is recent work though, all the above was early 2009 I think. I'm going to keep at it more now, post more and study other SB's.
