Hey, I'm new to these forums, I'd thought i'd start with a looser sketchbook than actual finished pieces, though I plan on finishing some soon...

Hands, partly referenced, goal was to draw man hands from woman references and vice versa.

staging and atmospheric perspective.

[Looped_Warrior]

this is a really nice way to start off a sketchbook... way to go....

I really like the figures that you drew... were those from moodels or from imagination?

Keep it up Cant wait to see more...

[Niva.]

Wow, very good stuff, can't wait to see something you consider "finished" :)

The very last image with the guy - his head (chin in particular) doesn't work for me but I really can't be more precise than this. Maybe someone more qualified can tell you exactly what the problem is. Otherwise everything else looks really good. My fav is the girl with the wings - please finish that one hehe.

[praeclaris]

Looped_warrior: about half and half, the woman on the rocks was loosely referenced off a live model, the other figures the two in the middle were referenced from live models.

n1va: thanks for the critisizm on the chin! i actually didn't notice it till you pointed it out! I always tend to screw up a bit when I'm drawing in Isometric....

A quick update:

a study on Asiatic composition, like a scroll... or something.

These are amazing. Keep sharing.

[praeclaris]

tmza: thanks :D

Here are some actual figure drawings, mainly quick drawings from 2 mins to at most 15/20.

[Draniel]

nice work! i like you style, keep working :)

[Icharin]

Wow, very lovely work. You have an excellent line quality. Keep sharing! :D

[Chromosome]

Glad to see you finally posted. It wasn't fair that you kept this from people for so long.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/hakushi_304/cca/figuredraing.jpg
You really captured that model well. Keep it up :)

[RaistlinTheDark]

great stuff love the pencils!!!!

[praeclaris]

Draniel: thanks! I'm still floundering around a bit, seeing what works and doesn't!

Icharin: I will, definitely :D

Chromosome: awwww, thanks so much, and especially coming from you (not that your not nice, I meant it in the you draw awesome-ly kind of way :D)

RaistlinTheDark: lol, thanks, its such a forgiving medium ;)

[Crimm]

Such confident lines in your life drawing pictures! You really know how to crosshatch! Everything looks amazing from my viewpoint.

: )

[towy]

good works!

[jigokuen]

You're getting more confident with your pen lines. Keep at it! don't be afraid to loosen up ewither and focus more attention on large rythms.

[praeclaris]

Some Vis. Dev. stuff from class, really rough quick sketches of characters and really rough environments or "storybeats". Then just a couple of life drawing, done in pen, again, really quick stuff. Maybe 3 min - 7 min??

Crimm: thanks!
Towarlock: :D
Jigokuen: lol, i will.

[jigokuen]

Play around with scanner settings, it seems a bit bright :D More figure drawing!

[praeclaris]

Life drawing, drawing people who don't know that I'm drawing them, and drawing those that are fully aware :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/hakushi_304/sketchbook/sketchbook4small.jpg

Again, a character concept, though its a work in progress. I'm tweaking the pose to not look so strange ( i believe the silhouette is giving off the broken pelvis look as well as the not so correct feet boot thingies.) and changing some elements in whatever it is he is wearing, its at this stage, still very much a rough kind of character.

[joaKimArt]

Lovely life drawings! The enviros looks smart, good disposition in them.
After reading nudity, I thought it would be more then this. Haha. C’mon, more nudity next update, eh! :^^:

Anyway, this is a great SK so far. Keep it up!

[cw]

nice lines!

i like the life studies - very clean :D

[zeo-x]

Yo Linda, nice stuff you have here.I like the girl with the dragon, and the geisha pen illustration. Keep up the good stuff : D

[Icharin]

Hey, love the background comps and the character design sheet. And of course great observational sketches!

The last character design has high potential, already he has personalty flowing through. Can't wait to see the update!

[Chromosome]

Great job on the last couple of posts. If I had anything to say about the character concept, it'd say to flesh out the pants a little more. Maybe add some compression folds to the bottom where the pants meet the boots, and maybe a seam or a sereis of folds/creases over the pelvis area, where the zipper would be. That's really the only spot where the form gets lost. Other than that, and what you're planning on fixing, it looks rad.

[AmontilladoAg]

i'm diggin' yer atmospheric perspective/staging pics... and you got some great life-drawinz here :teeth: Faves -- everything in Post #7, and her (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/hakushi_304/sketchbook/sketchbook4small.jpg).

Carry on! :D

[viran]

wow you got great anatomy skills! And im loving the little thumbs. somhow you work reminds me a little of Jason Chan XD hope that's a good thing for you :P

[SEVANS]

Very solid SB, Looking forward to seeing more. No real crits.. just keep at it.

[praeclaris]

joaKimArt: lol, sure! Sorry this recent post doesn't have any nudes XD more workshops!

Apocalypse_Rex: Thanks, it's hard adjusting to pen, but it helps my line quality when i switch back to pencil and charcoal XD

zeo-x: Lol, yeah, I was pretty sure it was you :D Man, I'm just bumping into everyone recently.

Icharin: I'm trying my best to capture attitude, I feared it wouldn't be noticeable through the layers of digital painting, i'm glad someone had gotten the effect i intended.

Chromosome: Lol, i've always had a problem with that, its a recurring thing, urk, need to leave bad habits.

AmontilladoAg: I especially like her as well too, I was surprised, after that pose, that i had drawn that :D

Viran: lol, i do go to the same school he did :D not to say everyone's style is similar, just he was one of my influences :D

Sevans: I will, thanks XD


These are 5 minute studies, mainly focusing on cloth folds and stuff, real quick stuff.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/hakushi_304/cfd3dump/compil4.jpg

Longer poses, 10 minutes - 15 minutes.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/hakushi_304/cfd3dump/compil.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/hakushi_304/cfd3dump/compil5.jpg

15/20 ( i really don't remember... i should start writing it down.)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/hakushi_304/cfd3dump/compil3.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/hakushi_304/cfd3dump/compil2.jpg

P.S. sorry about the bad photography, have yet to master it ;_; (oh and all models)

[Mitchell]

really great stuff in here! The life dawings are really somethin! :rendered:

maybe take a shot at doing some studies of Sargent, for better understanding of color in painting, and some Zorn and Velazquez, tonalists, for how they render the figure with value.

Keep it up!
-mitch

[Dynamike]

Great sketchbook you have here!

[Newman101]

Damn man, i really like your life drawing. I expecially like the few that you translated into characters. I really like the smaller paintings, they seem to have real emotion and story to them. Keep posting! I want to see more.

[praeclaris]

Skeiff: Thanks, :D I'll post some actual anatomy studies later, as these are just quick drawings for clothing usually :D

Dynamike: Thanks

Newman101: thanks, i'm trying to improve my use of shapes and lighting :/


Just some random stuff, no actual point to this post.

[Draniel]

nice characters! and nice costum too, i just did some sketch too, but the character wears only really simple stuff, i should observe more...
the girl in the last pic has a really nice movement!

[praeclaris]

Figure drawings...

*edit* added some other stuff. The black and white digital painting was practice, reference was used... and added some storyboards.

[Fishspawn]

Awesome sketchbook you've got going here! I like the figure drawing and character design. Keep up the good work.

[Eon]

Really nice sence of motion in the tattooed girl and blue line pics! Beautiful figure drawings. Really nice sketchbook so far!

[RandAlThor]

loving the figure work you got mate. Are you gonna make that storyboard into an animatic, i think you should... ;-)

[Nexus]

The b/w painting of Kyo from Dir en Grey is excellent. Saw those guys play in Atlanta, it rocked hard. The linework in your figure studies is also quite nice. Good work.

[praeclaris]

Fishspawn: Thanks!

Eon: Yeah, I was mainly going for rhythm.


RandAlThor: Lol, I might, I haven't gotten the whole storyboard thing quite down yet.

Nexus: Yus, dir en grey are awesome :D I'm hoping to see them again, if they ever come to the states.

[thesadpencil]

really nice stuff here. awesome lines. and some really good concepts. i really like the one above with the girl with all the piercings really good contrast its very bold and stands out. definitely wanna see some more.

[jigokuen]

Workshops are useful, use pen more often and think about gesture and flowing form.

[DerMidlet]

thanks Linda, where are your quick studies??? Let's see em :)

[praeclaris]

thesadpencil: thanks :D

midlet: lol, here they are :D


Still life paintings, oil 1.5-2 hours, and quickstudies that were around 2-5 minutes.

*edit* added a charcoal portrait, i figured if i posted such traditional mediums, why not more?

[praeclaris]

Some speedpaint and sketches; a character sketch, environment value study and of course... quick studies :D

[Nettle_Mountain]

You did those oil painting studies under 5 min? razy animal you are *clap clap*, i also like yout pencilwork, really sharp

[kidult]

great work here! keep it up!

[Chromosome]

Great stuff. Your Figure work is improving so much. I'm jealous.

[SEVANS]

Those inks life drawings are so nice, and so expressive (in the body language).

[TimGillette]

You gots da mad life drawin skills.
I dig.

[Blaque]

Your sketchbook was a pleasure to look through. I really envy how clean your sketches look! Keep up the good work, I'll definitely be keeping my eye on you.

[naztek]

I really like some of your figure studies and some of those character designs rock

[Kuraudo]

nice figure studies. So, how did that still life painting go in Jun's class? Man, that bro's is hella of a cool guy.

[praeclaris]

@Nettle_Mountain: Nono definitely not. The quick figure studies with a model were 2 min to 5 min poes. Those paintings took roughly 2 hours each or so, I'm just a beginner painter :D

@Kidult: Thanks!

@Chromosome: It should be the other way around!

@Sevans: Thanks, I've been trying to improve my rhythm and speed...

@TimGillette: Thank you :D

@Blaque: Thanks!

@Naztek: I'm glad you like them :D

@Kuraudo: Yeah, I must've been late at least 4 times cause the buses can't friggin arrive on time, but he was cool about it :)


Anyhow, a new sketches and a couple of oil paintings. First one is a portrait of a model... and second one is a Master Copy of Joaquim Sorollo.

[The Tin Man Justin]

i love your figure studies and your oils they look pretty solid

[jatherip]

youre values are really awesome :) your characters rock aswell, so keep goin!
