    Sketchbook

    Allo

    I wanted to wait till next month to post something in the IT'S FINALLY FINISHED!! forum but got encouraged to start a sketchbook. So here is
    some stuff.

    Everything is done with photoshop 7 and with sketcher

    can link from blog ? I use powertools to resize so qualiti is bad.
    ------
    Seems like my links are not working.

    quite a lot of changes to the anatomy and the headsize has changed too
    watch out for the legs too

    only a quick head resize and a not so pointy elbow
    look at the joints, draw joints from life (like your own ones) a lot

    practice is the key to success

    Damn dude, I like that helmet piece, first time I've seen an approach like that. That alien is looking trippy too, I like it . Keep updating this, I subscribed to it and I'm going to be checking your progress .

    Hey man, how could you ever consider your work boring? I love this stuff! The bot looks simple but it's cool, I need to get drawing I slacked a little the past few days.

    Hello Unit, welcome to CA, good start to your sb. have a few questions for you. Do you draw with real mediums. I think its great that your jumping into the digital realm, but I think you need to pick up the pencil and explore in that realm. From the looks at your humonoid mech and human characters, there seems to be some anatomy issues. You need to complete all the way down to the foot, a least a rough idea of the feet. Remember practice really helps you understand the area that you need to work on, thats the challenge, I need to keep telling myself that also.

    In the last digi, look at the legs of the bot. Their bowed inwards making the pose look extremely awkward. IMO, the feet should be facing outward a bit more, making the pose look more natural. Try to make your bot faces more complex, it doesn't have to be humanoid with eyes and noses, but try to capture your viewers attention to the head of your robots. Welcome to CA.

    I see you've been industriously drawing
    with ink too

    you know that the head in the last one is prett small compared to the helmet construction?
    try to go for some shadeing with ink to create more depth (hatching is the way here / or you mix ink with water and use a brush, experiment a bit)

    the robot is cool, remember to make them look the same on both sides If you understand what I mean
    (this was what I thought when seeing the "belly")

    the outfit looks cool and pose is good to
    but look at the eyes, you can't be seriouse :/
    they are too far away from each other and make the whole pic look akward

    remember that the face is the number 1 focus point of a pic as soon as a human figure appears in it!

    I ran into you on Sketcher this morning. I think you said you've been drawing for like a year? What a jerk! Where do you get off being so good in only a year?! I don't have a lot of specifics to add -- just keep doing what you're doing, because it's obviously working.
    ketchook!

    Hey there, thanks for stopping by my book. Maybe if you introduced some yellow into the redbot it would make it look a bit more sleek. Hue variations can really pump up interest in a painting.

    hey there unit

    on atmorpheric perspective: in general, things that are closer to the viewer tend to be/have more vivid colors, and darker darks.. so stuff more in the background should be desaturated and have less contrast. this helps a *lot* to convey a good sense of depth. don't be afraid to overdo this.. your job is to help the viewer to "read" the image the way you want it!

    keep it up + post more!
