Hi there i had a sketchbook i've made a year ago but never updated it , so i made a new one hoping that this time i'll update it properly

So any critics and comments are more than welcome !!

so a bunch of sketches and speedy to start

[PaintMyBrain]

I love that last piece well done and keep it coming!

[lesleythestrange]

i like your sketches, especially the last one... keep it up!

[xabian]

excellent start to your sketchbook! loving them head designs and the last character piece. Cant wait to see more =]

[Gollorr]

I dont rly like your 3nd scetches -i think u have to define them more and look for more logic in these creatures. Why is something here or there, how exactly does it work and why has the creature evolved thas way. Then again the 2 beast on your 1st pic are rly good and i believe you would make them all ecually as good if u had the time. Otherwise your last pic is awesome. This guy rly influences.I like how primitive-minded he looks, almost animalistic (as if sniffing). My eyes also enjoyed the shades and high contrasts. I suggest that u develop it further and i am LF to seeing it complete

[Kcekelkai]

Really like the faces up there , and the last concept , but try to make those creatures complete , body , limbs ects . Keep going

[ACE*]

really nice work man!!!!!!! a great start to your sketchbook..

[Asahi-SD-]

Ace> thanks a lot man


hop 1 small quick study from photo



and a 2h 30 monster/bot/whatever ,don't ask how it's working it's just a bunch of shapes and volumes , i was just resting my mind while doing this one so no real structure , nothing but random shapes .

[Asahi-SD-]

I made an attempt to digital ink , that's actually quite fun to juste go mindless and dig shapes within a big black shape... will for sure do it again !!

[Asahi-SD-]

last of the day

[badass]

[Zazerzs]

Thanks for stopping by my SB! That Darkness inside image is sweet. Post more!!!

[Anid Maro]

Real nice work in here Asahi.

Looking at your photo referenced portrait from the 17th (Aphone2 by RedTown), your painting makes his face look slightly bulged compared to the original photo. It's a very subtle effect and I had to look it over for several minutes, but I think the cause is your brushstrokes around his lips.

The direction of those strokes (particularly on the left) are strongly curved and accent an already curved form, with the result being that his lips seem to recede slightly behind the cheeks. I believe some blending out of those strokes or a slightly less curved direction would solve the issue.

I'm being pretty nitpicky with that though, it's an excellent portrait along with your other work.

Also those "digital inks" look like a ton of fun, as you said. It seems like a kind of digital scratchboard, a medium I've always wanted to try. If I ever get a tablet I'll have to play around with that technique. :)

[Pixie Trick]

Oooo...those b&w "inks" look so nice! Fun too.

[timo.]

Cool de te voir ici! Les b&w sont bien jolies, keep it up!

[Loathsome]

Hahaha that comic thing was hilarious. Good stuff in the thread as well

[Asahi-SD-]

Zazers> thanks a lot, i appreciate !

Anid Maro> thank you so much for the critics , i still have trouble to really dig the volume of the mouths , i mean i understand it but i need to practice more Thank you !!

Pixie Trick< Thanks ^^ those are fun to do

Timo > hehe merci mec

Loathsome> thanks glad you liked it , it was more or less a quick test nothing serious by the way , thanks a lot


------------------------------------------

So I made a small video to show a process for charactere exploration in digital ink hope you will like it , it's 5 min long ( realtime is 45 min) and i made 3 charactere out of 2 words just for fun and because it may be interesting for some people , well... i hope so .

HERE IS THE VIDEO PROCESS http://www.vimeo.com/9638872

I laughed so hard when I saw your video. "no idea"

So curiously- how often do you really start with text? And how often does that text say "no idea"?

Killer stuff in here man.

[Grassy]

F*cking great values in the post 1 (sb avatar)! You really should make it in colour!
