oxygenkiosk's sketchbook!

[oxygenkiosk]

hi I'm not sure if i'm doing this right (the sketchbook business I mean!!)
I'm 16, a student from canada, and most of the stuff I post on here will be from when I was 14-16 +
critique is very welcome, I really, really want to improve!

[Othrandir]

Hey! Welcome to CA! This kid you posted looks great I'd love to see more from you though

[oxygenkiosk]

I forgot to mention my last post was fanart (somewhat gender bent) for Ava's demon!! Kind of hard to tell but alas!!!
these are basically just some cool lighting in a sherlock episode, so I froze the screen and did a quick study, and the progress from my ava drawing :>

[FightingSeraph]

Your color choices are very nice, but I don't have much in terms of advice...

[oxygenkiosk]

I unfortunately can't do much stuff right now because of school, so here is some drawing practice of a draped model from last year, when I first got my tablet. As you can see, just rough sketch work, 2-3 mins, no colour v.v But it's the only anatomy work I've got on my computer- hopefully I can scan more of my traditional stuff in the future!! (I think it's probably much better!!) (p.s the stock is from senshistock on dA :> )

[oxygenkiosk]

More early digital stuff! This is the first digital portrait I did proper (not just practice sketches). It's a self-portrait from when I was 15 - pretty unfinished, and the colour and lighting is p boring all in all. Working on it!!

[oxygenkiosk]

here is a quick gif i did, trying to figure out how birds in flight worked.... not so successful, going to retry tomorrow with simpler bird silhouette, focusing more on motion and naturalistic movement :/

You have a good eye for things.
Keep up the studies, very promising.

[oxygenkiosk]

this is a WIP from my re-attempt of the bird animation... don't know if I'll finish it, not happy with the line-work, too blurry. might re-do this with different brushes ... also movement isn't as naturalistic as I'd like... any critique is, of course, welcomed. Bless this incompetent peon with any tips you might have!!!

[oxygenkiosk]

quick work in gouache and pen

[oxygenkiosk]

80 sec hand sketches so as to better understand anatomy of hand ( I struggle a lot with them )
uh basically that's it, lame posts go (y)
p.s they're a bit badly laid out, I got distracted by the second page

[thek]

Fantastic studies, especially that last set of hands and the colour portrait. Excellent use of animated GIFs too, very cool! I think they look great.

[oxygenkiosk]

thanks @ thek ^u^!~
another gif, just 3 frames and super simple, but it's part of a comic/project i'm working on :>

[oxygenkiosk]

study I did from atom's for peace's new video "ingenue" :> Ignore the stuff in the middle, once I spend a certain amount of time on something I no longer feel comfortable with it just being realistic uh

[oxygenkiosk]

This is a 2 hour painting I did for a l'il dude from my neighbourhood with brain cancer... his favourite animals are penguins, what a cutie ^^
done in my school's acrylic paint during my spare :T

[oxygenkiosk]

this is a painting I did last year (when I was 15) for school. Acrylic and oil on panel. It was my first time ever doing a real painting in acrylic or oil!! I never finished it though
(sorry for the sideways pictures)

[Sleep.less]

Beautiful paintings for your age
Would like to see some more studies from you. If you start doing them and learning anatomy right, you'll be such a badass artist. Nontheless, you've already shown promising facial structure knowledge.
I'm curious, where do you want to go with all this? illustration? concept art? design?
Gonna keep an eye on you

[oxygenkiosk]

thanks @ sleep.less !!! I feel really flattered and you're absolutely right about anatomy i'm really beginner there so over the past few weeks I've done lots of studies!! My scanner isn't working of course but i'll have them up soon. I plan on going into animation or illustration someday
Here are some quick one-layer digital studies I did of two of my internet buds!

[Vezarez]

Great stuff you got going here, I especially like the portraits. And you show tonnes of potential.

Keep it up!

started drawing of a torso with some strange lighting ! Might not finish this but ah well
also a started drawing of my face (might also not finish but it's alright practice)
