Wannabe artist seeking improvement!

[BjorkT]

Thank you very much! I will do my best to keep working hard!

[BjorkT]

two pages of my sketchbook where I try to ignore rules and anatomy and so forth, just to let my imagination go wild and to explore different things.
My apologies for the bad quality!

This is most enjoyable to look at. I"ll keep popping back in from time to time. Perhaps more environments and objects would be good for you. The boats on the other page weren't some of the strongest things I've seen and when compared to your hands (which are quite good and obviously well studied) some of your objects just don't measure up. Perhaps if you apply the same line of thinking you're using for the physical form it would help make things even more awesome.

[BjorkT]

Thank you very much! I will definitely keep it in mind!

[BjorkT]

drawn with pen, then I put shadow on afterwards with a pencil
If you have any suggestion on things I should try out or focus more on (or just anything really), then please tell me!
Next update shall be some objects

[BjorkT]

Alrighty Went ahead and drew some new boats! There is a quay nearby, so I went ventured out and looked at some of the boats there

[BjorkT]

Need to fix the proportions

[BjorkT]

Been studying animals today since I really need to practice that I barely draw animals at all so I need to change that hehe
Planning on drawing and studying water and waves and such tomorrow for that other drawing of the woman
Please tell me what you think ! What should I work harder on and what should I draw more of?

[BjorkT]

A little work in progress

[BjorkT]

This has been a pretty hectic week with lots of homework and many assignments, but now it's weekend and it's time for lots of drawing! here is a sketchdump with a little of what I have had time to throw down on paper in the past few days.
Next week I'll be focusing more on environment and maybe a bit on animals

[lupre]

nice motion studies.
keep on sketchin.

[BjorkT]

Thank you! I shall do!

[oxygenkiosk]

You have a lot of talent! Keep on doing studies and maybe experiment with more colours and media. Great sketchbook :>

[BjorkT]

Thank you very much! ^^ yeah, working with colours tends to intimidate me at times, so I should definitely look into that! Anyway, thank you for the feedback

[BjorkT]

This is a sketch I've been working on today! I have a few others lying around though I've been working a bit with colours and environment, and I'm definitely planning on doing much more of that

[BjorkT]

Good morning/day/evening!
Made a quick environmental sketch/study to start my day

[BjorkT]

I've been busy working on a commission today so I haven't really been able to draw anything else
Here is a little fragment of the painting Unfortunately I can't show too much, so this will have to do hehe
Loong way to go

[Izayachi]

They all look very good! The deer looks a bit high though other than that it's very nice! I especially like the environmental sketches

[BjorkT]

Izayachi: Thank you! yeah the deer XD I even thought about that while sketching it, but I wa too lazy to move it haha


Here are a few lazy sketches from today. I wasn't feeling it with the environment sketch so I just kind of gave up It became too weird and overpacked with lines I guess. I should probably learn to see the bigger shapes and focus on those. Anywhoo~ Will be back with more tomorrow! hopefully things will go a bit better than today hehe

[BjorkT]

Trying out different methods to see what works for me

[BjorkT]

Did these quite some time ago, but they still look kind of useful, Though I should probably make some new ones
I'm in school at the moment so I can't make any new updates. But I'll post my sketches from yesterday when I come home.

[BjorkT]

Made a few hands and arm studies. I still have quite a hard time drawing them, so I'm trying work on that.
I have a tendency to get quite lost in what I should draw and study and so on :/ So many things to learn, don't know where to start.

[BjorkT]

Quick study, before I go to bed! tried drawing with the opacity jitter on, not too sure if I like it

[BjorkT]

I've had quite a crappy day and haven't been able to draw very much, so just some lazy sketches and so on. Managed to pull myself together to try out acrylics though, so at least I did something

I often find it pretty difficult to stay motivate, any advice on how I can do that? :/

[BjorkT]

I have a bunch of sketches lying around, but I don't know if they're worth showing : P the past few days haven't been the best in terms of drawing; I'm not really pleased with any drawings and don't feel like I'm learning enough and so on. But I am trying to challenge myself more and draw things I'm not too comfortable with.
Ah well, might as well show you guys something though
those two last drawings are just really quick sketches for an essay in school XD

I'll be back soon see ya!

[BjorkT]

I have a bunch of other useless sketches lying about, but they are not worth showing XD I should definitely try to put more thought and effort into every drawing I make, even if it's just a lazy little doodle... I get distracted too easily, so gotta work on that hehe. I'm trying to draw various things: Animals, people, environment etc. etc. I'm also trying to draw more from life as it is quite challenging for me. Am I doing things somewhat right? What should I do better ?
Been busy with school and work as always, so my apologies for the lack of updates! :/

[ChrisTwaitees]

Dude these are AWESOME!! Honestly I'm shocked at your improvement over such a short period of time especially your understanding of female anatomy (mind- fcuck)! um if you're looking for things to practise, Michael Hampton's anatomy book is BOSS, callled Firgure drawing: design and invention", really awesome stuff right there um also maybe try loosening up and doing some thirty second gesture drawings, it will force you to experiment and you learn a ton. can't wait to see more stuff

[BjorkT]

Thank you very much! I'll make sure to look it up and study my ass off hehe

[BjorkT]

Wow, it's been a while since I was on here... my apologies for that!
Expect some new stuff soon, I'll be updating regularly again soon I have to focus more on my school work at the moment since my exams are coming up

[BjorkT]

Alright so here is a little dump over some of the things I've been sketching.. I have some other sketches lying around, but I can't seem to find them at the moment.
I'm really enjoying doing landscape sketches, it's interesting to see how the drawing progresses, I still have a lot to learn though
Still trying to get the hang of drawing the human body without reference and still getting the anatomy right. I'm also trying to use water colours and stuufff
