ooh a lot has changed. my job is ending at the end of the month.
i have shitload of sketches to upload. o_o but i have to go to teach for now or i'll be late.

here's two still life. the spoon is super quick and shitty and the longer pumpkin study is even shittier! o_o i learned a lot though

[chazillah]

more things that i'm bad at.
(my cat) pointed out that i need to start off still life (well, everything) with a solid drawing and that i have no clue per the where-abouts of a middle axis.

so I practiced drawing lots of boxes, then re-attempted the jug. i started with a box for the jug this time, some ellipses, and yeah, it became easier.

but then i was like "lololol color fail"

[ear5cm]

U R Amazing!
love them

[Lyraina]

Your sketches/studies are amazing. I love how expressive especially your female studies are.

Keep posting

[LadyAtuna]

You're amazing *___*
I love your colors. Please keep it up

[Hans Mothander]

I am in awe, -bows-.
Lovely reflections and shadowing on the carafe(s),

Keep em coming looking forward to more.

[chazillah]

thanks guys! i do not deserve comments, haha, you're too nice. D:

i have such a long way to go, it's overwhelming!
~(.__.~)

still life is really hard. the wood texture totally fucked this up, I should've ignored it. o_o I thought I got all the reflected light in properly but apparently not lololol. and I think even the boxes are off! haha

i'm going to be doing lots of box perspective stuff. for the rest of my life P:

arghh i'm too tired to take photos of my sketches.....i will tomorrow first thing in the morning i guess @__@







^ rofl what???

[Springly]

Hah, wtf. I like it. I don't think this box study is anywhere near as bad as you think, definite improvement over the last ones. Are you using vanishing points?

[kidult]

we all have to walk the same long path so try be more positive and less "boohoo I suck"

[John Silva]

reaaaaaally nice stuff dude!

keep it up!

[Overtoom]

Great work! I really like your use of round shapes and volumes in your pose sketches, and damn your life studies look nice! Specially those cans and wooden cubes. Keep up the good work!

[Kungfoowiz]

Very nice studies =)

[poetry man]

Nice skeleton heads, and the exercises with the rotating boxes with crossing axes is really good. Do more. I see your studying hard.

[chazillah]

oh thanks guys *_* wow . thanks so much for letting your eyes burn in this thread! i am unworthy 0_0

SCHOOL SUCKS. i still have to get through this semester. So nothing was completed digitally because i have a paper due tomorrow and had an assignment due today. So here are sketches I did today and a few old things mixed together. Imagination and reference. o_o should be easy to tell which is which, I think.

Oh yeah, one of my major life changes that I posted about a while back is that i'm not doing school next semester. I'm not being like "OHHoh i'm dropping out forever coz i am seriuz artist!" But...i hate my program, and if my parents cannot tolerate it I'll be go to Emily Carr university (because piano teaching won't support me if I decided to live on my own and rebel against my parents, ahahha o_o that would be stupid of me and i'd end up in a rut).

:/ But i dont really want to go to emily carr. I think i can learn a lot on my own without spending the $$$$. i'm kind of nervous. o_o this is the first time i'm focusing on what I want to do. Not what my mom thinks I should do, or what I think would make better money...etc.

I've been jumping all over the place. I've been a gamer designer for the past six months (stopping end of november), worked in a fashion store, designed websites, made a few games for a local competition..i also teach piano. o_o Which I will stick with for income, because it is low maintenance. And all the past few years i've been unhappy, and always saying "Jeez I want to draw more". Well it's about time that I fucking do that, haha. I also realized that having positive influences in your life and limiting your friends is very...beneficial. o_o I think I'm more cautious about who I talk to now. I used to be a social butterfly in high school, like most girls, haha. I had my naive and stupid moments, and wow, what a waste of time. I always liked drawing though. I just thought "Oh, I'm not that good at it. But that guy is really talented, I don't think I can be like him."

Then I found YOU GUYS and that outlook began to change, thanks to a really hardworking community.

so now I know that perseverance is the most important characteristic in achieving your goals...and there is so much happiness in it. I just want to make sure i have motivating and hard-working friends around me, not lazy assholes o_o not to be rude...but I definitely hung out with a few.
WOW sorry to vent. o_o I guess this is all just bothering me. Maybe it's the first uncomfortable decision I've made...dundundun, letting go of commitments where people depend on you! D:

Being an adult sucks.

[Random_Hobo]

Really awesome and smooth sketches.

[karantina]

figure drawing and still life -all of them GREAT.please add more works.

[Aelis Mikilai]

It is very easy to tell which works are done from reference and which are done from imagination. One of the big things I notice is that the hands not drawn from reference look rather awkward, so perhaps try using a reference (even your own hand) when drawing those? Also, when shading, maybe try to make your strokes curve to the form when you lay down the values. A couple of your studies looked a bit flat because the shading was sort of flat. Does that make sense?
Otherwise, your anatomy is very lovely, and I definitely envy your skill with form and shape on the human body. Your studies are very nice indeed. They have very good movement and attitude to them; they're very lively.

Try not to be too hard on yourself. Everybody's got their areas of improvement, and I can see some improvement already within this thread. You're doing a great job, and you're working hard. Keep it up!

[Kungfoowiz]

Good decision =) Positivity that's the way! =) That's so awesome you can play piano! =) I started playing a bit of banjo recently =) Liking the character in 0068, looks awesome =) Good luck with your next piece and *high 5* for being honest to yourself =)

[TFsean]

wow really nice work, your anatomy is really great and your photo studies are super spot on with your values, any traditional painting to show?

[Jarrad]

post more stuff!!

[MrFrenik]

Great stuff! Looking forward to more.

[andres333]

<3 <3 <3

[bouroune]

Awesome lines in here, and you have a great eye for colors studies too,
i would suggest you to exagerate a bit your nude drawings, they are really acurate and
i think you could gain some dynamism and life if you caricature a bit the poses.
anyway good stuff keep on working!

[GEB]

WOW! Awesome start to your SB. Can't wait for updates!

[chazillah]

ooh wow why do people comment in here? D: thank you so much...wow really, thank you!

I'm still drawing daily durr... it's just tough to update because I'm still in school and finalizing my last bit of work.

BUT, Tuesday is my last day of being a game designer! =D And December 9th I will be DONE school semester. I am so so so so so so excited.

AND... my mum agreed to letting me have next semester off!! and even if I don't go art to school after everything (as long as I draw my ass off and still have some income by teaching piano a couple days a week), she'll support me. I am really thankful to have her...and really lucky, I didn't think she would go so far to support me.

so here are a couple things. I have a lot of sketches to take photos of and unfinished crap. and i fking lost a still life because i didn't save until an hour in, and of course when i pressed ctrl+s...it crashed :'D

i'm sorry to burn your eyes...and i want to reply to all your wonderful comments but i'm falling asleep here. thanks for the feedback too I take it all to heart! =D

reminder to self: stretch your hands / wrist daily, know exercise these exercises...don't get tendonitis urghhhh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUyMN...layer_embedded

[ConnyNordlund]

Great figures stuff. Nice start on the sketchbook as well.
Try to do more stuff from imagination, or well.. post more of it.

[chazillah]

mom agreed to having next semester off school.
job as game designer is finished.
TIME TO ACTUALLY WORK HARD ON THIS

(and erm, i'll take pictures of my shatload of sketches tomorrow. sigh)

but for now here is shit nomnom

[nevermindjoker]

you got beautiful hands if it was your hand on #55 (good render) ... I also like what you call your work as poop I dunno why ....

[Sycra]

I just wanna second that that hand painting is very well done. You have some nice 'shit' here.

[chazillah]

thanks guys! o_o yes they are my hands lol--tiny piano hands that could never reach full chords properly :'D

and yeah that's a study after linran...no i'm not trying to just copy, i really wanted to study his(her???) colours. eheh, what an insult to have me study his art! their eyes would burn. i must apologize to linran someday hahahaha.

also...yeah i'm too tired to take photos of sketches again so i'm going to sleep instead and hopefully take the photos tomorrow. bleh
