Sketchbook of the Aquilinian Legion

**Aquiles Dias** · November 6th, 2012, 07:46 PM

Evening, all. Here's the thread for my sketchbook. I would like to hear opinions and tips so I can improve my skills - both in drawing, and in concept.

About me:

My name is Aquiles Dias, I study Concept Art at Odd School. We are the first concept art class of Portugal, and hopefully, the first of many. I also took a general Design degree in IADE, in Portugal.
The things I most enjoy drawing are creatures, arquitecture, mechanisms and armor. I value functionality over looks. A cool drawing doesn't make it good in my opinion. The technique might be good, but if the idea isn't original AND funcional, then the concept drawing fails.

Geoffrey came to Odd School for a week to teach us the Environment and Storytelling module of the Concept Art program. Here are some of the thumbs I made, aswell as the final image, made from one of them. Name: Aquiles Thumbs Ernault.jpg

Homework, woot! The tail was a pain to make, so it could look round and have natural curves.
