Lazy's Sketchbook

[Lazy]

Welcome to my sketchbook!
My name is Christopher and im "only" 17 and i draw very actively, im studying Graphical Communication here in Sweden, and after i graduate i would like to go to a artschool in the states majoring in "Illustration". But nothing is impossible.

I am currently following anatomy/life drawing dvd's and i have seen the "head", "neck" and i am currently whatching "upper torso" and sketch after that in different angles and such.

I hope you like my stuff and feel free to drop a comment or valuable tips

So here we go!

[sly's hand]

You sound inspired and you show much promise, And at 17 I'd have killed to draw a head like that , Please show more.

Cheers

Sly's Hand : Thank you very much, it really helps

And some torso sketches

[Fellah.]

Draw draw draw and keep it coming

[Lazy]

Fellah : Thank you very much for the comment my scandinavian brother

It means much coming from a madly talented artist as yourself
Oh there will be more, there will be more!

[Lazy]

I know it can seem alittle boring with only these body shots but as soon as i am done with the body i will start with environments and more digital painting again

[Fellah.]

Glad to hear there will be more - its a good start!
Thanks for the nice words bro!

[Lazy]

Time for a small update, have been busy so not much time for drawing but now i have more time.
I need to train more with my wacom tablet so i made this purely digital sketch without reference

[hurricane]

hi !

hmm, do you want to draw realisticly or stylized ?

hard to figure out atm... its very mangaish..

but tis great that you keep on updating, now bring it on a daily basis


cheers !

[Lazy]

Im not sure yet , perhaps make it a hybrid of manga and comic, lets see where it takes me .
Always drawed manga before but i feel i am maturing in style aswell.

Thanks for the comment , been busy the last days, thats why there where no update

[Lazy]

A small update with training arms purely digitally , will post more tomorrow hopefully

[Lazy]

Im sorry for my lack of updates, im having a hard time finding my "artistic self", a style and a workflow to base my work on

Tryin all kinds of stuff, but ill soon post again

[OleOlsen]

hey lazy just keep on drawing and updating....my advice is to draw more from eference stuff.
peace

[Lazy]

Yeah ive been thinking of that as well and i will draw from other artists, tutorials and real life. Been critical to that before because then its not "my" art.
But now i know its essential for getting more training.

Thanks for writing OleOlsen

[Lazy]

Sorry for lack of anything.
But now im starting to get my confidence back and starting to find a fun style

so heres one i painted based on a pencil sketch, only reference was the gesture which i took from a life

[Lazy]

A little different from the rest but i just did a fanart of Tifa Lockheart from Final Fantasy VII, more manga-ish .

[Lazy]

Another little update.
Two environments pulled out of my head, need to sketch more stuff like this

[maknien]

I see some good stuff here.
Most of the anatomy have quite many mistakes. You should do more referenced drawings with all the time examining how things are drawn. You mostly have the basic shape and skills to draw, so the thing is to get more and more accurate. Do not be afraid of doing mistakes. Be happy if you spot one when you draw, and try to find a way to correct it.
I really like those thumbnail works on the last post. They are very nice.

Keep this thread up and dated!

[Lazy]

Thank you very much for dropping a comment.
yeah will do, btw your art is amazing, checked out your sketchbook

[Azeira]

not much to crit. i liked your little action scenes/environments(?). what i can recommend is that you try to work on fuller, more anatomical forms. post some full figures and in various positions so we can see your grasp of anatomy. what youve posted so far is only a peice, and i think with your motivation you can do quite well. hope those dvds work for you as well as their supposed to.

also, you seem to love the exagerrated breast approach. ah, to be young again.

[Lazy]

Thanks for the crits
Yeah im going to draw more fuller figures.
Constructive comments like these are the most pleasing to read, thanks
(i guess its me being young )

[Lazy]

Some new refernce drawings from life , been busy the alst days with school and such, try to do more now.

[Lazy]

Another one with only the gesture as reference

[Sawa]

i like your envireonments best, mostly the 2nd one.
the anatomy in the last 2 posts is not bad, keep on doing those.

sawa

[Lazy]

Another one where i experimented with Corel painter

[Lazy]

Another Cg!
I should update more

[Lazy]

Another environment sketch

[Lazy]

A new one

Must draw more!

[Lazy]

After some good constructive comments and realising that the hands hsucked in my last cg. I decided to do hand studies, drawing with my own as a reference

[Lazy]

Another doodle, i will now study feet drawing.
