It's a Secret to Everbody! * \°□°/* Psychobuddys Sketchbook

[Psychobuddy]

Study that has taken me longer than I'd like to admit to get to this point...learned lots though.

[Psychobuddy]

Another one...less time more progress ^_^

[Art Minded]

Your rendering is coming along nicely and I am already loving your linework. How are you enjoying Hampton's book? I personally enjoy his approach and have improved a lot since adapting it.

Keep up the good work!

[Mike L]

Love the progress in the figurative work!
I'm still snooping for some life drawing for ya...

[snacks ex machina]

Keep chuggin along. Toot toot.

[Psychobuddy]

Art Minded: Thanks man! I left you a totally way to long message in your SB, keep it up!

Mike L: THANKS TEACH! Haha stay in touch! I'm gonna try and start pushing those proportions a little more like you suggested.

snacks ex machina: I used to watch the little engine that could all the time. -_-
I am complimented sir.

Hey, random doodle...cool down, warm up...it's one of those two.

[Aaron_]

Ooooh, cool painitngs. The improvement you had is awesome. Why didn't you paint the head though? You can just paint a very simplified sphere in its place.

[zryanart]

Growing by leaps and bounds man! KEEP IN TRUCKIN ma friend!

[Psychobuddy]

zryanart: HEY thanks man, hopefully I can keep it up!

continue: THANKS...but it's totally cause I'm lazy and afraid of painting the head...you know how people usually tackle weaknesses...I tend to shy away from them >_<

Here's another girl and a doodle, trying some new things on each of them. The girl isn't so successful...haha, well neither of them are really successful but I think the hunchback thing is still better XD.

[Psychobuddy]

Just some crap...trying to keep this thing updated.

[rinnikirun]

Keep rocking those studies man!

[Psychobuddy]

ven-: Thanks bro! You too ^_^

Little bit different today, trying out some enviros, and then the typical loomis stuff. Just trying to get better.

[Psychobuddy]

Today is a very special day for me, one year ago is when I first opened this SB. My life is completely different than a year ago. I feel so much more accomplished as an artist...yet at the same time not at all. Uhm and just in life in general, things are so much better than they were a year ago...I can't wait to see what the next year holds for me, in all honesty I'm so excited for the future right now.

So yeah, thank you to everyone and anyone who has commented, voted, subb'ed [maybe], and just looked in here. I love you all, and every comment means so very much to me...it puts me one step closer to my goal of doing art for a living. So thank you all so very much! Here's some art

[syrella]

I definitely think you've made progress! Being an artist is a lifelong process, I think. Don't lose hope even if you're not immediately where you want to be. Given enough time and effort, you'll get there!

Keep up the hard work!

[Psychobuddy]

syrella: Thanks! and an extra special thanks for being the one to celebrate my anniversary with me! Well that kinda sounded mean, I'm sure there's a bunch of people that looked in here. So all's good CA I still love you!

Uhm here's the stuff from today, felt like a lot while I was doing it...not nearly enough looking back.

[Psychobuddy]

I don't even know why I'm posting these...they suck so much...been out of it. I'm gonna go hide in a hole, maybe cry a little, wallow a little, continue to be depressed about how much I suck and how little I get done. Then I'm gonna pull myself back together and go back to work.

[Revidescent]

Really like your markmaking on those past few studies. You're getting some really luminous skintones. =D

[Psychobuddy]

Revidescent: Thanks! I've been experimenting with working methods lately, and those ones were the funnest to do.

Here's todays stuff...not too much else today except I suck at a lot of fundamentals. *cough*colour*cough**cough*structure*cough*...

[rinnikirun]

Hey josh,watch out for those heads, they are skewy I'd say dive into Loomis again and master the ball and shape!

[Psychobuddy]

ven-: Thanks bro, you're right...I'll be on the lookout for that...well I have been XD.

Hey guys, been away for a bit...been doing studies and stuff over the weekend...it's all pretty boring. I'll put some up later.

But for now here's something that I'm going to call "finished". Enjoy ^_^

[shiroboi]

Thanks to you, now have Exxxxxcaliburrrrrrrr now stuck in my head.

Very nice work by the way. You're motivating me to work harder.

[Psychobuddy]

shiroboi: Thanks man that means a ton!

Here's some stuff from today...been away for awhile no real excuses for not updating...just me being lazy before bed XD

[Psychobuddy]

I feel like I'm digressing...

*sigh*

[lionheartGFX]

wow i just saw all your sketchbook and your progress its somtehing to take notice of, keet on going draw everyday and make it fun, im in the same path as you are just trying to get better, line by line cheers and keep it up!

[Psychobuddy]

lionheartGFX: Hey thanks man, that's means a lot! You're totally right too, keeping it fun and interesting is what keeps us working.

Some life studies...

[Aaron_]

This

is really cool. The rendering is inspiring.

For the latest, maybe try and get cleaner shapes? Seems the perspective got a bit wonky.

[Psychobuddy]

Aaron_: Dude thanks, and you're totally right I need to work on my shapes and my edge control, I've really gotta watch where my colours bleed and get that under control.

Here's some stuff, did a lot of pencil and paper and I'm to lazy to take pictures...maybe one day soon.

[AllyAlbon]

Looking great, especially your most recent faces - coming on leaps and bounds.

[Psychobuddy]

AllyAlbon: Hey thanks, I'm really trying to tackle some weaknesses, glad it's paying off.

Today was just a bad day, fraught with wrist and eye pain...and general just brain stupidity. I wasn't really able to scratch much down that's worth showing...gonna throw this up it's like a half hour thing I dunno...in some ways I feel like I'm getting more confident...too bad it doesn't show.

[Psychobuddy]

Here's a sort of proper update...I guess.
