Scribblebook

**Alexanderjr** · February 24th, 2011, 09:07 PM

Hey everyone, my name is Alex and i'll post my scribbles and hopefully progress here when i can. I live in Christchurch New Zealand and i've just recently decided to put up what little work i have left after the 6.3 that just hit us because there is really nothing else i can do. this little amount is just what i have since we had to leave our flat in the central city, it's been pretty hectic here lately and i dont know how updates will come but i'm trying to keep myself occupied.

so here is what i have,. they are more or less just doodles really. all taken with digital camera, the state of a lot of them is not good as they mostly came off the walls of my old place.

**Alexanderjr** · February 25th, 2011, 06:27 PM

Latest sketches. i forgot to add, all comments and crits are welcome! i'm looking to try to improve here! seem to do a lot of faces or upper body stuff, will see if i can do something different today.

again sorry about the digital camera shots, its all i have here.

**YJ Lee** · February 25th, 2011, 10:46 PM

nice pencils man! I really like how you rendered the metal on that armored guy.
Sorry about your flat, I live in Chch as well so I know how shit everything is now, not much you can do now but draw right? Hope you're alright and if so please update man!

**raminafshari** · February 26th, 2011, 03:25 AM

**sony** · February 26th, 2011, 04:29 AM

Welcome to conceptart.org sorry to hear about the disaster,
Post more when you get time

I think you draw the ear bit lower than its places proportionally. just a thought

**surus** · February 26th, 2011, 02:08 PM

Great pencils! Keep on posting!

**Two Listen** · February 26th, 2011, 03:53 PM

This is ace! Saved for future reference.

**Alexanderjr** · February 26th, 2011, 11:20 PM

YJ Lee - Thanks man! yeah the armour i was pleased with, though it took a while and nearly broke my brain, thats learning though! yeah it's pretty crap here right now eh, just got to keep on going through it really.

raminafshari - thank you, it's definitely something i aim for. to get the objects looking 3d

sony - thanks for your comment and crit and i think you're right, actually i can see it pretty bad on that man with the skeleton guy behind him. best watch that, thanks!

surus - cheers for stopping by, i will try my best to

Two Listen - awesome! thankee

two more, first is a page from observation, second is just a few faces and some guy. bad quality..

**ErikHolfelder** · February 26th, 2011, 11:28 PM

Very cool stuff. I think I'll be keeping an eye on this thread to see how you develop. A bit out of my league to give decent crits, so just keep it up!

Good luck with recovering from the quake...

**Velocity Kendall** · February 26th, 2011, 11:46 PM

lovely work

**YJ Lee** · February 27th, 2011, 03:39 AM

yes more stuff! just wondering are you currently studying art or anything related in Chch?

**Eric Young** · February 27th, 2011, 04:13 AM

Very nice start, welcome to Conceptart.org. Keep posting

**Philosiflo** · February 27th, 2011, 04:55 AM

Mr, you have been subscribed too. Makes me want to work on my pencils.

**Alexanderjr** · February 28th, 2011, 01:55 AM

eekolite - feel free to crit anything you think could be improved

i don't mind i know there is a lot and i'll hopefully get around to it all sometime. thanks!

Velocity Kendall - Ditto! there's some really slick designwork going on in your sketchbook!

Y J lee - yeah, well i'm just about to start second year doing bachelor of design at CPIT but honestly i've been doing more study outside of school than in it.

The Original [E] - Thanks! i will try to keep it up. probably wont be quite as often updates as so far but will do.

Philosiflo - Cheers! pencils are all i have at the moment haha but it's still great fun just to doodle instead of working on things you're planning on really finishing

Here are just two more pictures, i will probably start doing some studies soon too. i'd like to do some anatomy and gesture work.

**sony** · February 28th, 2011, 02:11 AM

male Medusa-black angel?

**Alexanderjr** · February 28th, 2011, 06:42 AM

yeah, actually not sure what that is.. just sort of happened out of the scribbles haha

thanks for the comment

**Alexanderjr** · March 3rd, 2011, 08:00 PM

couple more, from life and not from life.

**m8y** · March 3rd, 2011, 08:16 PM

Man, these look great!! Some of the better non-posed life drawings I've seen.

Hope you and your loved ones were ok after the recent devastation where you are (and it didn't interrupt your art creation too much

).

**JakehC** · March 3rd, 2011, 08:26 PM

omg dud your sketchbook is exquisite! defenitely going to be one ill be stalking from time to time. keep it up. lets see some painting to!

**medicagotruncatula** · March 3rd, 2011, 09:12 PM

Alexander, This is exactly the kind of stuff I like to see, uninterpreted projections of your artistic mind in grayscale. I like it a lot, but I really wish you'd devote yourself to an entire piece. I'll keep an eye out.

**Dope Fiend** · March 3rd, 2011, 09:28 PM

^ agreed.

i love it, and i'd be interested to see what you'd do with color!!

**Lav** · March 4th, 2011, 07:39 AM

**Yor** · March 4th, 2011, 08:47 AM

**Alexanderjr** · March 6th, 2011, 08:55 AM

m8y - my family, friends and i are ok

, thanks!
lolbbq - i dont do much painting lately, only every so often. but i did happen to be playing around in photoshop today and got something out of it, thanks for the nice words
medicagotruncatula - Thanks! i will keep that in mind and maybe see if i can carry on through with something soon haha
Dope Fiend - thank you, i'd say colour is something that i'd really like to experiment with more and learn about, actually i've been going through www.huevaluechroma.com little by little, it's really interesting!
lav - thanks! and i will make more

Yor - Thanks! i really like the way you're handling the landscapes you're doing at the moment! nice colours!
hücumkedi - haha thanks and likewise man!
Teundeboer - that is something i try to do because Lukias makes it look so good! haha thanks!
surus - Thank you, i will try but i dont have a very good digital camera with me. only a pretty old one so the photos aren't actually that good to begin with sorry

okay, just a small update here anyway. i was experimenting in photoshop with painting, textures and blending modes and this is the fruit of my labor. i will definitely experiment more, it was a lot of fun

**Nallen** · March 6th, 2011, 09:27 AM

Got a real eye full here! Great sketching!
Making that transition to painting in photoshop can take some practice...
keep at it!

**NickyBeats** · March 6th, 2011, 01:27 PM

**Yor** · March 6th, 2011, 02:02 PM
