Kvick'Z Sketches 10-8-10 nudity nudity blah blah

**Kvick** · May 1st, 2007, 10:51 PM

Been awhile but I've gotten on my ass again so I scanned some pieces from the end of 06 to now.

VV---Wasn't so happy with this one---VV

This page was fun

Those were some of my sketches from Jan to Marchish?
Heres some more recent

I bought a new pen for art rather than the crappy ballpoint ones that faded and smudged ink. Mainly because I was inspired by Sinix

And of course my favorite pieces: attack of the lined paper ZOMG!

Damn that took awhile

**seth1** · May 5th, 2007, 07:01 PM

**Kvick** · May 7th, 2007, 07:14 PM

Stuff from sketcher

**Kvick** · May 7th, 2007, 09:45 PM

Thanks seth & maxetormer

Some quick paint in sketcher, I've only done a few paintings so I think I'm going to start doing more sketches in B&W and color.

Cool stuff Kvick. You've got some pretty interesting ideas in your sketches. If you work more life you will improve much faster.

It's good that your starting in black and white values are important. Keep working

**nilaffle** · May 11th, 2007, 10:49 AM

Great sb dude, lots of cool ideas. Your portraits are really getting strong, and I'm a fan of strong contrast so I love to see the range of value developing in your work. Keep up with the studies.

**Zombie_dla** · May 11th, 2007, 03:46 PM

Hey, nice progress

Your portraits looks really good! Do you have any Loomis books? You can download them free on the internet. Don't remember where, though

Anyhow, keep it up!

**Kvick** · May 13th, 2007, 03:41 AM

KanoaRogers: Thanks, I think I need to start doing some more life studies, I just have a lot more fun working from the mind or from other artists.

nilaffle: Thanks, I try to make the values as accurate as possible when I draw from photos or life, but usually the outcome depends on how much effort I feel like putting into it or if I like how it's turning out.

Zombie_dla:Thanks man, I used to learn from loomis but I never got too much into it. I think I have some pages of copied loomis pages in my first sketchbook. I never could get used to the skeleton stick figure before fleshing the figure out though.

The drawings except Mydrim's awesome Valkyrie and Call0ps' trippy eyes, are mine

**maturin** · May 13th, 2007, 08:49 AM

It's great to see how much you've improved. I like you hand sketch in the '02 MAY' post, and the furry/hairy coat on the last but one image ^^'

**Kvick** · May 13th, 2007, 06:58 PM

Maturin thanks, which post exactly are you referring to?

Me and this guy who hasn't posted on ca yet but has an account, UNiT_22, made a sorta collaboration over sketcher,but I feel I can only really take credit for the ideation and thumb of the character.

My original thumb

UNiT's embellishment

**Kvick** · May 17th, 2007, 01:11 AM

UNiT started a sketchbook aft my excessive nagging

actually it was more like a few hours and not too much nagging, but here it is anyways! http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=97316

now some sketches:

reffed, primarily an abdomen study

I just did these character designs, I realized that I've been trying to sketch things too fast when I'm still way too nubby, especially with my anatomy, so I took a deep breath and slowed down. Plus I'm horrible at femmes so I need to draw more

.

**UПiT_22** · May 17th, 2007, 06:00 PM

**scottmcd** · May 18th, 2007, 02:52 PM

I like this one a lot: http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m...z/5-1-07/9.jpg

Thanks for your gesture advice over on my sb. Very nice examples you've found there, and I think looking at things like that has already helped.

One idea for you: when you scan pages from your physical sketchbook, insert a piece of blank paper behind the page you're about to scan. That will keep images on the next page from bleeding through a bit.

**Kvick** · May 19th, 2007, 10:41 AM

UПiT_22: Thanks, I really try to improve in my rendering and shading with pencil, so when my line work starts to shine it'll finally pay off.

scottmcd: Thanks, hope the advice helped

. And yeah, I need to get some blank paper to fix that little problem, just a laziness thing.

I don't feel I correctly drew attention to this guy's face in this, oh well, I don't feel like redoing it atm. Plus I kind of wish I didn't do it on lined for once

.

enviro thumb & more

**Kvick** · May 20th, 2007, 01:15 AM

Tried some digi, didn't get much sketching done today cause of school junk

.

tried one in blue for a different feel

**Kvick** · May 20th, 2007, 01:58 AM

20-30 min speedie

**Kvick** · May 21st, 2007, 12:25 AM

heres a futuristic armor design, I spent about 4 hours doing it and redoing with with help from UNiT_22's crits. Still not fully done still have a little bit to work on.

**Kvick** · May 22nd, 2007, 08:18 PM

Small update

After rereading prom's guide I have a much better understanding of color and light, still a bit fuzzy in some areas but I think I have a much better idea than before.

I really don't like how I draw small faces and I feel like I don't have a great grasp of it, so I'm going to be working on this a lot in the next week or so, copying off other artists.

**Kvick** · May 23rd, 2007, 10:51 PM

Forgot to bring my sketchbook to school today :X
I'm now going to minimalize the load time on my newer sketches as well as make them more organized for easier viewing. Plus it'll help get me more comfortable with other PS tools besides brushes. This was 3 scans.

a little hawkprey inspired stuff in here.

I'm going to do a lot more face studies, I didn't like a lot of the faces I tried to draw today :|

**UПiT_22** · May 24th, 2007, 09:12 AM

very nice progressing here, its great that you read the prom-article! Try to read it once in a while, its an eyeopener every time.
That robotunit turned out good!

**Kvick** · May 27th, 2007, 02:26 PM

Thanks for reminding me about that, helped me understand light much more.

I'm focusing a lot more on my line quality with my pencils now and trying to improve there. Not so much in this however, but I'm busy and can't scan right now.
