doodles n stuff (updated)

**uberninja** · April 15th, 2007, 03:32 PM

hey, this is my first sketchbook. i'm a high school student, mostly self taught except for the usual high school art class. my stuff's probably not as great as most of yours but hopefully with some more practice and formal training i can get better.

(The first batch of stuff is from high school. i'm now in my second quarter at SCAD and i'll be posting stuff regularly.)

The first pic is old and the second one is fairly recent.

here's another older piece done in charcoal.

Hy man... I really like your first pic there... them others look good too, even thought pretty messy... post some more! XD

haha, thanks. yeah, i need to hone my overall technique, but in my defense these were rushed to meet deadlines. hahah, actually lately i've been having some growing pains so i've been rushing a lot of pieces, especially when i'm having difficulty getting started on certain concepts. but hopefully i'll get better when summer rolls around and the pressure lets off a little.

Welcome, not a bad start, maybe try drawing a few from life as well as photos, it'll help with how you see things. Keep them coming though, its the best way for people to get to know you.

the first one i started today and the last one is fairly old. i'll post it again when i finish it.

**uberninja** · April 16th, 2007, 09:15 PM

Bojee: thanks. i'm doing both actually. but because of the deadlines and short time frame i don't always have time to draw from life. it's hard getting your classmates to stay still, hahaha. hopefully i'll get better this summer and when i start classes at SCAD next year.

no doubt man...you got what it takes..just hone those skills

**SEVANS** · April 19th, 2007, 12:29 AM

Damn good start, just have fun and keep drawing.

You're doing well! Are these from photographs? If so, let's see some drawings from life, too. And don't be afraid of posting quick sketches. Keep going!

i think you're probably 3 times better @ what you're doing than how skilled i was in high school. its wicked that you discovered a link to your style this early. great shading and very nice linework......do some comics@!!!!

only way to move is forward...dont forget that

the only from life drawings i really have are all 30 second gestures. i don't get a chance to draw from life.
