Some Canadian kid's sketchbook

[Ninja_Joe]

You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, some high school kid's sketchbook!

So yeah, I'm a sixteen year old high school senior living in Toronto, who, like so many other people, have been suffering from a lack of motivation. I hope to update this sketchbook weekly in order to get me off my butt and to actualy start drawing more and possibly get some input on how I can improve. Sorry if some of the scans are weird, I think my scanner hates me.

Just some doodles


More doodles, fun in math class!


The King of the One Liner: Groucho!


Some muscle man


Skelly bones


Some kendo guys duking it out


Well that's it for now, go easy on me!

looks like your doing quite well actually, like you dont seem to be stuck drawing just the one thing in the one style. so thumbs up there

maybe consider being more sisitive to what your drawing, like.. say groucho, maybe its just stylistic, but youve used the same mark all over for him. fabic is different to say skin, or hair, so the linework should vary slightly to show sensitivy to each texture and the qualities of density.

Hello fellow canadien, i welcome you!

For a kid ( just kidding ,two yrs older so I shouldn't talk )
it's not half bad but I agree with dire-musaera your linework should have more texture --> to get that use various shades/ paper stump will help ALOT
That's a must...

Anyhow, looking forward to seeing other stuff!!
(I like the Oscar)

Hey joe. Like those sketches, especially the history class and bone studies. You're definitely talented. Don't despair and keep them coming.
