**Panda89** · April 26th, 2006, 07:55 AM

Hello everybody!
So here's the update of my SB since my webspace has changed.

First of all i want to introduce myself:
I am Patrick and i am currently 16 years old.
I come from Germany and my dream is to become a concept artist.

I'd be happy if you guys gave me some advice, criticism, tips etc... because i really need that.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have done some anatomy studies of the arm, gesture of the body and i tried watercolor sketches

thank you recursive end.

Well, I did both:
I have read parts different books like loomis, a bit of hogarth, bammes and so on.... i learned the proportions, muscles and other parts of the body the way they explained them.
quite recently i understood that i HAD TO observe the life to learn drawing correctly.

That's good. Now apply what you've learned. See how far you can push human anatomy, draw alot from life!

**Panda89** · April 29th, 2006, 07:03 AM

yeah, i really should =)

well ok, new sketches:

**Dile_** · April 29th, 2006, 07:17 AM

Nice sketchbook, and I checked you gallery at Deviantart
Great tutorial !

And the anatomy in your sketchbook is good to, well, of course they could need some work, but your last arm/body studie, looks better!
keep it up!

non reference - reminder, if i forget how to draw:

head turned + color studies:

demon - color studies:

**noiion** · May 3rd, 2006, 03:56 PM

These are really nice studies, Patrick. Keep em up. On you demon image, looks like you got too much space between the facial area and the sides. You might wana try to spread the eye area out a bit.

hey whats up Paddy !

did you star ta new fresh sketchbook or what ? your stuff rocks, that watercolor one is fresh... i can see that your brain is never resting, your studies seems pretty deep, good to see thaty your write down your observations on your own stuff, as long as you can see your own mistake you can be sure to always improve

**Panda89** · June 28th, 2006, 09:43 AM

Long time since i posted on my sketchbook, w/e!
At the moment I am at HDW Design (internship) and i can work on their APPLE G5. it's so 1337 :')

too bad that they dont use tablets in this area (printing area), so i used the mouse for this sketch:

well that's it for now, because the graphic designer at artschool used my nudedrawings for an exhibition. I will scan them as soon as i get them back. =)

**Panda89** · June 29th, 2006, 10:17 AM

awww, the graphicdesigner at the artschool told us, that we get the studies back after the holidays, so however i wanted to post something new:

update:

gesturedrawings:

I love the looseness in some of the sketches and the demon colour study is awesome. Other than weak construction in a couple of the anatomy sketches, there doesn't seem to be any clear weak spot so just keep drawing, you're on the right tracks.

Good to see you're working hard on the anatomy, just try out some basic 3d shapes for the torso some time.

Very inspiring sketchbook all in all (makes me want to learn to draw loose)

**Panda89** · July 6th, 2006, 04:32 PM

it's the first time i use copic markers, those godlike objects *-*

these are the very first sketches i made (2 minutes each) and i must say those (very expensive) markers are great!!!!

to scan my works with webcam is very painful, so i'm sorry that i didnt make more screenshots

**fooxoo** · July 6th, 2006, 04:41 PM

Ohhh some good stuff here!! I like the anatomy studies, you re progressing nicely! I think you re doing everything right at the moment, just keep learning and practicing!!

Heya Panda89,

Good to see your studies here.

I recommend taking part in this ongoing Workshop:

Anatomy Lesson Series: Body Part 1 - The Headto build your Portfolio. As a hs student, it's important to work almost exclusively traditionally.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Cheers,
