Blaz`s Sketchbook has a silly title!

**ajvenema** · October 1st, 2007, 05:41 PM

thanks for looking at my stuff, and giving some nice comments

real nice, that u draw that guy from ur imagination, he feels right in everything, nice details as well. he really looks drawn with a graphite stick btw, if so, how do u keep those nice lines? mine become to rough very fast, and i need to sharpen my stick all the time

or am i just wining, and does every artist have this problem?

**Blaz** · October 2nd, 2007, 04:50 PM

Here are some head doodles from today...messing up with tablet...

Try to guess which one Is my self portrait! Its obvious...

And people PUH-LEEESE crit my stuff....im so eager to improve!

**Discoskull** · October 2nd, 2007, 04:50 PM

Wow dude! You've gotten quite awesome since I last visited!
Beautiful pencils and line work, great characters - I particularly like that CHOW guy (trumpet-head).
Really, great job/improvement over the last year. I am inspired.

**Dandilion** · October 2nd, 2007, 07:49 PM

Love your stuff Blaz! Please be my friend! ^^

Poor Balthazar. He looks so old and tired. Hey, I admit it, I'm a GW lover too.

Take care!

~Em

**Chance.** · October 2nd, 2007, 08:12 PM

Great characters,
I will have to stop by here later and look at all of this interesting stuff in detail.
One thing that you have that is going to give you an edge is creativity. That is what I'm struggling with. Both creativity and technical skill go hand in hand, neither is as awesome when not in the company of the other.
So keep working both muscles and watch as you become amazing skilled.

Man, I learn more from posting in other peoples sb than when they post in mine. I've gotta get out more, this is good for me.

Thanks for being inspiring.

chance

**TheGnoll** · October 2nd, 2007, 08:32 PM

yay cliche' evil villains ae always fun to draw.Nice animation style going on, lines are loose and confident

keep up the good work!

ciao

PS:LOL @ steven segal dude in post 122

**Blaz** · October 3rd, 2007, 09:21 AM

@Dandilion: Thx man! Yes we can be friends eheh...

@Chance: Thx man! Yes you are right, those two must be in great symbiosis in order to make your works much better, atm Im trying to become better in technical way

@TheGnoll: Thx

Yeah was always fond of villians...and that Steven Segal is 1 min quicky xD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok and now I decided to post some works which are 2 months old, and all made with technical pencil as a result of pure boredom in my summer house...
...Random characters concepts I drew for my board game in making!

..sketchy!

...beware of spam 10 files (around 2.5mb)

**Blaz** · October 4th, 2007, 10:30 AM

Some crap from today....vampirey!

Damn I really have to do more studies....

**chr!z** · October 4th, 2007, 01:17 PM

Hey Blaz, thx for your comment!
I never felt experienced enough to criticize the work of other artits, but I take a try.
Indeed you have progressed since u have started the thread.
I've made the experience, that u increase your skills damn slow, if u draw to much from head. (like me...) I havent found much nudestuff or lifedrawings in your SB. But drawing from life, brings u so much further.

The contrast in your pics could be much stonger so your stuff would look much better. I change the conrast of my pics in PS a little bit.
So, you have pretty kewl ideas for characters. Some look inspired form other artists (happens unconsciously ;D ), but damn cool mixed up.

Cant wait to see your progress for the next year!

**Autumnal Dream** · October 4th, 2007, 03:18 PM

Your results of "pure boredom" are freaking good!

You've got great ideas my friend.. or did you use any source of inspiration?

Anyway keep it going. I'll keep an eye on your SB ^^.

**Goog** · October 5th, 2007, 03:05 PM

Some really nice concepts here mate, only crit would be to become more intimate with what is underneath all that armor. good work nonetheless.

**Blaz** · October 5th, 2007, 06:41 PM

@chr!z: Hey thx for your time! Indeed you are right about drawing from head, I really have to do more life studies...but drawing more nude people from life is kinda impossible xD!...But u never know...If I go to academy maybe I might live up to see a real act

...
...Oh and I tweaked contrast in few drawings too, scanner cant get all pencil rendering nicely unfortunately. And about my characters of course some are inspired both by other artists and other stuff, thats a case with all the artists

.
@Autumnal Dream: Hey thx! Yeah the are result of pure boredom cause in my summer house I dont have computer or anything...just one old tv with 3 channels...So I force my self to draw eheh! The ideas are ofc mine, altough its hard to be original today....my inspiration sources are mostly CA and games!

@Goog:Hey man thx! And yup definitely more anatomy...*writes note to my self*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

And drawing of my dog from today....photo reference ...
...more of my dog coming soon

**iMaiM** · October 5th, 2007, 07:34 PM

@Oregano: Thx!

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

...I know they dont mean much but I dont think I deserve em...deceiving the visitors :^.^:

Some crap from today...was messing with photoshop in b/w..
...so lame and unoriginal....

**iMaiM** · October 18th, 2007, 06:05 PM

It's pretty impossible to be original with the amount of people on the planet... I like it anyway!

And you deserve 5, imo. Walk through page1-5 and look at your progress... don't sell yourself short. :p

**Dreamworker** · October 19th, 2007, 05:56 AM

Wow these stuff are gorgeous! I like the energy of your character and the last one is cool!
Ciao

**ajvenema** · October 19th, 2007, 10:42 AM

making an un-original thing very nice is also a quality

keep posting some more dude, i like them!

**Blaz** · October 23rd, 2007, 03:46 PM

@iMaiM: Eheh thx nice to hear that...but I definitely dont deserve 5! xD
@Dreamworker: Thank you!

@ajvenema: Thx again and you are right!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

**Clodioz** · October 23rd, 2007, 04:17 PM

**Chance.** · October 25th, 2007, 10:49 AM

Loving the sharp inks going on in here. We want to see much much more of them.

I'll be snooping around in here again soon.

until then.

**Blaz** · October 25th, 2007, 03:13 PM

@Clodioz: Thx!
@Chance.: I will do more of em, don`t worry

!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A thing from today....2 random characters and 2 Hals studies ...

**Chance.** · October 25th, 2007, 04:16 PM

aahg, the more I look at that dude with the sword the more I like him. I'm gonna make him my desktop.

I'm hoping to learn how to do that with my new mentor Ilaekae. We shall see...

For the dude who is washing his car, don't skimp on those legs! It is easier to leave them off, but drawing them will make you better.

The girl kinda looks like her jaw is squashed, and like she's been hitting the booze with that red nose. [sorry]

Older guys are cool, great features on the one on the right. At first I thought his eyes might be out of alignment, but upon closer inspection I realized that they are correct relative to the rest of the face. I think it is the forehead that is not lining up with the rest of the face.

bleah, back to homework

**iMaiM** · October 25th, 2007, 05:18 PM

That Soviet guy is pretty metal. Do anything else with that WIP? Cool stuff

**Howie** · October 25th, 2007, 05:39 PM

awesome stuff, you have a lot of interesting concepts. Keep posting
