[Autumnal Dream]

Hey mates and welcome to my first sketchbook :)!


I finally decided to start one, cause I need more motivation to draw..
I hope I'll get some friendly comments and helpful critique.


The following sketches are... well, nearly all doodles and works I've ever drawn.
I'm drawing since late 2004 now... very irregular at first and I just drew about 3-5 pics a year. Anyway I'm drawing more seriously since summer 2007.
I could go crazy cause I started that late! So I'll practise and learn as well as I can to regain the lost time quickly.
So... you see, i got hardly any practice and experiences :(.
I try to improve myself and eventually find an own style.

I got to know a girl in school last week and she's a genius in drawing o.o.
We want to start a comic together and I guess it will inspire and motivate me.


... Well, I hope you like my first tryings :P

[Autumnal Dream]

Thanks Lex :D!!

Well, here we go again:

first time drawing a manga.. i don't like 'em, but I thought it could be interesting.

192496
and another hand...

[JellevdVegt]

cool stuff and good start! just keep practicing and it will pay off. its wise not to focus on manga stuff, in case you didnt know that. life drawing is the best way to learn. good luck!

[Autumnal Dream]

Thanks for the good advise :D !

Update: a bit more detailed stuff -->
Don't flinch from givin' some crits :)

[Evxyza92]

Nice skecthbook man keep posting these up.

[LexMedden]

wow 8D
jetzt hast du schon viele comments
hast du dir aber auch verdient^^

[FourTonMantis]

WOW that sketch on that desk is awesome...

uh i mean don't draw on desks that's bad. :)

seriously, how did you not get caught?

[AmontilladoAg]

Hey, glad to see you started a SB :teeth:

Draw, draw, draw, man... the lions, the hands, this last babe :wink: It's lookin' good!

You might think about doing more from life, and more full-figure drawings... but whatever you do, don't stop :P

Cheers :^^:

[Flipnastywebby]

thanks for posting on my sketch book :teeth:


one suggestion, try using the edge of the pencil, and if your using a tech pencil, great for laying out a line drawing, try a wooden or a stick of graphite. You can get some great effects with just one stroke, for like shading and even certain lines, like lips, eyes and hair.


anyway keep up the drawing buddy, your stuff has some good potential.


Slainte!

[Autumnal Dream]

Ahhh.. thank you all! :)
I always need some advices or crits.

New stuff for today ->

193966
sketching in the car, but it was verrrrry jerrrking so I couldn't draw that clean.
The man at the bottom is my dad driving ;D
193962
a portrait of a friend :)

[mEj]

Hi, Thanks for visiting my sketchbook.

You have beautiful drawings, you have lovely line quality.

[loveandasandwich]

Your portraits are really great! Do tons tons tons more, it really helps a lot in learning face structure. & they make good random presents, haha. :) Keep it up, you seem to be improving very quickly!

[Autumnal Dream]

Yay, thank you :D! Your comments are very motivating.. I'll try it out :).


First tryings of coloring with painter X:

[Flipnastywebby]

the potrait of a girlfriends is wonderful :pirate:


slainte!

[Nistarn]

I have to agree the portrait is really great and the unfinish girl up there also :)

[LexMedden]

wow you can draw yourself?
I can not do that o_O really coool
great art!! I don't have ideas at the moment, ehm I invent a new story cuz my old one has become really boring. you know, new characters, new places..
but I can not draw XD It looks horrible

[Autumnal Dream]

Thanks... here I got another one for you :)

Selfportrait... not finished yet (quali sucks 'cause of my damn scanner -.-):


194676

[Nistarn]

Great work I only have a doubt about the angle of perspective of the lips, and thoses eyelids ( down) line to strong? i really like the way you render it. Finfish it please : )

[VenomVindicta]

wow i love the slightly cartoon-y ones, they made me laugh. really well drawn aswell.
the way you draw the hair on your characters is really good, i'm trying to get mine to look a bit like that, so thanks for the inspiration :)

Venom

[Autumnal Dream]

Thanks to you both :).
Nistarn your're right... I've seen the lip-problem allready.. but I don't want to change anything, cause I drew the lines too hard. They whould stay visible and that looks terrible. And the eyes... well, they are a bit too accentuated.
I'll improve this next time ;).

[Autumnal Dream]

Sorry friends... it's exam-time and I won't update a lot in the next two weeks =/. I hope to get at least time for some skribbling.

See ya! :) - Jul

[Stormie]

Your drawings have great energy! Do you have any drawing books or are you teaching yourself? I think with your drive, the right instruction would really help you take your art up to the next level. Good luck with your exams :P

[Autumnal Dream]

Thank you very much :D
.. no I never had an instructor.. I wish I had..:(
Unfortunately I'm not that productive .. so I havn't got much practice.
Anyway I'll do my best to improve myself :).

[Autumnal Dream]

Well, here I am again :D!

I had some unhappy weeks... school.. exams.. an operation at a tendon (ouch).. and so on...

This is what I scribbled in my "visual diary" (it's a project for school) during my hospital stay.

208353


I bought a small sketchbook (REALLY small xD.. like the palm of hand) for my sweet little cousin. She's 5 years old and of great talent. I drew the first page for her (she looooves horses ;D)

208352



Got holidays for two weeks, so I'll have more time to draw ;D.

See ya! - Jul

[Blaz]

Hey!
Fancy stuff.

I can see the portraits are becoming better and better...
...also nice job on the horse in last post, especially the hair!

Keep updating! :)

[Autumnal Dream]

Hi friends!

First time exploring the world of watercolors :D
Hadn't enough time to finish all of them...
Without ref except last one.


213128
213129
213130
213131

[Blaz]

For the first time explore your watercolors are pretty good! :)

Id suggest you to do some watercolor references from photos or something! You are on the right track! ;)

[JellevdVegt]

thanks for stopping by my sb, i like the last watercolors. keep at it bro

[Autumnal Dream]

Thanks guys, really :D!
I'll try to get better with it.


I added some hair and "corrected" the form of her jaw. I'm not very happy with this "correction" :(. I think the portrait has lost the similarity to her ._.
Damn... maybe I still can undo this... but it also could destroy everything!!

213215

Please help me... do you think it's still looking good? I don't know... :[


-Jul

[Evxyza92]

Its still looking good, the lip piercings ( right?) are good in contrast , from my telling of it. That little curl of her hair, has some weird lighting in it maybe move that to the right a bit, that should help that.

[Autumnal Dream]

Yah.. you're right with the lightning xD.
I didn't check the correctness of the reflexes...
Thank you :).

[Blaque]

I really like #33 (favourite number, too. Nice), and the first watercolour on #30.

Is the portrait of anyone in particular?

[Autumnal Dream]

Thank you... :)
Yah, it's a friend from a vikingclub. Every season I travel down to Frankfurt and visit the medieval market on a great castlecomplex.
We sell selfmade leatherbags, capes and stuff and participate in bow&arrow-tournaments.
I'm looking for the Halloweenmarket :D... yay!

- Jul

[matejkovacic]

Thanks for the visit at my sketchbook.
I like your portraits and I would love
to see the finished versions. The horse
is nice, too.
A good way to study hands is to
draw your own hands a lot.

Good luck,

Matej

[T_manAKATruman]

nice portrait.

[Autumnal Dream]

matejkovacic: Thanks too :) I'll try to spend more time in hands ;D
T_manAKATruman: Thank you :p


Here's another page from my visual diary for school:
I drew a small selfportrait by watching my reflection in the open window :P

214736

[Blaque]

I've noticed a lot of people mentioning visual diaries. I feel kinda tempted to try that, too. XD (though, it *almost* seems a little bit redundant by having a sketchbook, too. I don't know)

Anyhow, it must be amazing to be near a castle and stuff. =D I look forward to seeing the finished portrait piece!

[AmontilladoAg]

This (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=193962&d=1188374766)is lovely :).. oh, and I really like the horse, too :^^:

I'm likin' these self-portraitz you've got going... keep it up! :teeth:

[speedysam267]

definitely some improvement with your portraits, however on the las one your arm looks a wee bit bulgy. nice rendering though, keep it up!

[Autumnal Dream]

Hm.. that's how it looks :/
Next weekend I'll have time for new stuff. Got 2 exams in the next days...
see you! :)

[Autumnal Dream]

[House Hatke]

Hey good stuff! Keep up the drawing. Every day! It's great to see you doing pages of hands and similar figurative stuff -that kind of thing can really help you nail anatomy.

[Autumnal Dream]

Thank you very much.... :D!

Today I was at my artclass where we topically do figure drawings.
This is a small.... well it should be a sketch for the bigger picture... but I'm too fussy to leave it a simple and dirty .. sketch XD.

[archipelago]

great stuff :)

with hands, you really have to think in terms of overlapping shapes, what shapes are closer and what shapes are further away? once you figure that out (should be pretty easy :P) its all just a matter of making that readable in your drawing by drawing the lines from the contour into the shape of the hand, and making the shapes overlap.

cheers, keep it up!

[Autumnal Dream]

Thanks for the advice, archi :D

This one is a christmas present for our art-class-model :P

tach. meine mutter hatte mir vor langer zeit mal von dir erzählt. Ich helfe immer gerne was kunst etc angeht.. aber alles aufschreiben will ich jetzt nicht. Wenn dir das ernst ist dann ruf mal an wumbawu@hotmail.com bei msn oder 161010639 bei icq adden und dann geb ich dir tel nr und wann du am besten anrufst weil ja auch 6 stunden zeitdifferenz ist etc. ich hab im moment passender weise ferien deshalb auch zeit. Jetzt ist auch wann du mit deiner mappe anfangen solltest.. aber das jann ich dir ja am telefon erklären.

Zu deiner kunst die hier so zu finden ist ich glaube du würdest das schaffen. Wenn du dich jetzt noch ein bischen anstrengst. Die wollen halt vorallem beobachtete sachen sehen also nicht so gerne ausgedachte, comics, einhörner, mangas etc.. und auch nichts von fotos. Wobei ich sagen muss das viele trotzdem fotos kopieren aber es halt so geschickt machen das es nicht nachweisbar ist. War ein bischen frustrierend, weil ich wirklich meine ganze mappe "from life" gezeichnet hab. Ka meld dich mal bei icq aber besser bei msn /windows live messenger..

-ole

ps- mein sketchbook hab ich seit langer zeit nichtmehr geupdated..

[Autumnal Dream]

Yeah Ole xD... ich ernenne dich offiziell zu meinem Mentor :D!
Danke für die ganzen Tips jeden Tag ^^.


I decided to start my own little art-bootcamp with the beginning of this christmas holidays. I definitely have to change my life concerning art from now on v.v.

First few days: anatomy and stuff

[bakadoodle]

First I have noticed with many of your hand studies the metacarpal of the index finger is somewhat off angle. The line should angle more towards the center of the wrist than the thumb.

Second, on the portrait of the girl with the lip piercing, the changes you made to the jaw messed up your facial symetry some, the jawline is no lonoger smooth and flowing, which is fine if that depicts the person more accurately, but then the flesh of the face would also conform to those bulges. The line from the nose to the mouth looks odd as well, he head doesn't seem to be in a position to create that deformation. (curve) That said I still find it beautiful.

Lastly, on the subject of your new tablet. A few words of advice. When I first got my tablet I was all excited, but initially got frustrated with the feel and form of it. I have a 9x12 so it was not the same as holding a sketchpad in my lap :) I ended up going back to pencil for a good while. After I gave it another shot I just kept forcing myself to practice with it until it became comfortable. Oh The first thing you should do is change to the felt nib, in my opinion it feels much more like pencil than the hard nibs. And finally, don't stop practicing in pencil, I've been working on the tablet for so long now that I've nearly lost the ability to use any other medium. Might just be me though.

I have enjoyed your sketches. Thank you.

[Peetaer]

good stuff so far. i can already see improvement. like the others said before me: draw, draw, draw!!! do a lot of figure drawings. check out bridgman or hogarth when it comes to the human anatomy. but drawing from life is essential (something i need to do more often, it's been a while).

[Autumnal Dream]

@ bakadoodle: Wow.. thank you! You had a very accurate look at my sketches. Now those little faults are catching my eye as well. I'll try to avoid them.. :P
You're absolutely right in case of the wacom. Motivations withered faster I thought.. but I think it's the lacking knowledge about painterX and ps :(. I should ask a friend for teaching me cause I never worked with that stuff.
Thank you once again... keep criticizing me :)

@ Peetaer: Thanks :D I heard a lot of those artists, but never had a look at their works and studies v.v. Are there any published books with those typical anatomystudies of them? I like this exaggerated way of drawing.. a pity it's to late to wish a book for christmas :/. But I'll buy one with the money I'll get ;D.
Thanks for the advice... :).

Btw.: Dragonforce rocks ;D! \m/

[Darkwebslinger]

really good stuff here keep it up and post some more sketches

[Autumnal Dream]

Oh thanks ... I'll post more for sure.. I'm motivated ;p

Finally I found a book from Loomis!! He's god :D!
And I begin to get the feel of the human proportions and anatomy!
Yeah... that's a great feeling.. I'll work through the whole book :D!

Nice to see some loomis studies too, good to see your anatomy studies, i believe i should try to do more of them.

Nice sketchbook you have, keep it up!

[Cris_]

I really like your portraits...and I really mean it.
I see that you really improved since the first page (: that's something that give us newbies a little courage(not sure if that's the right word, but my brain is not working properly anymore :P) to keep trying to get better.

And about your last drawing,I really like his expression!(:

[RandAlThor]

Loving that last one, keep it up ;-)

[Zeitwolf]

You should definitly do more with colour, namely watercolour - you're really good at it!

[Silvenon]

Wow! I really love the way you draw faces, very realistic! I especially like the girl with unfinished hair, nice job! Keep it up ;)

[Nibras]

wow you rock
your portraits are reaaaaalllllllly nice and your life drawings are spot on
i love your water colours too :D
thanks for the nice comment on my sb
keep it up

[oODanyalOo]

[Hey I've just made an account here (this is my first post) and I'm just trying to get into the whole critiquing thing, before I start posting my own stuff I'm by no means an expert, so you don't have to take notice of everything I say, haha]

Wow, your knowledge of human faces is really good! Especially the portrait of the girl, I'm wondering though was there any construction type lines there that I can't see? Or did you just insert the eyes in space as it were, using you're knowledge of anatomy?

Hope you know which one I'm on about, I'm really liking your sketchbook =)

[Adrian Wilkins]

woah das letzter ist echt genial O_o!!

keep it up!

[AndresArias]

some really cool life drawings!!! definitely strong portraits so keep them coming!

[algenpfleger]

Awesome progress O_O That selfportrait rocks. And your watercolors are great too.

[Autumnal Dream]

Hell!
I never got that much comments at once :D Thank you all!!!
It's so much more fun getting nice replies and crit :)

Here're some quicker sketches from last week:

I can definitely see really strong improvement since your first post. If this is how fast you're improving, I wonder what your stuff will look like in a year or two :)

I like your last batch, especially the hand studies. I'd really love to see more colored pieces~

Continue updating!

[ploepp]

aaach, Juli, ich beneide dich um dein Talent und deine Ausdauer. Die beiden Selbstportraits sind echt großartig (auch mit kurzen Haaren ;))

[oODanyalOo]

Hey stop updating with such great studies, you're making me look bad :(. Really great man, hehe.

[Trashy]

Cripes...your taking leaps and bounds in your work. Massive improvements and those studies rock. Nice work!

[Jussi Tarvainen]

Autumnal Dream. Man that watercolor landscape BLOWS MY MIND! 20 minutes, seriously, huh! Very nice progress you've done here.

Very nice to see all the studies you've done! Good job. Work on the anatomy though, I think it'll improve your skills a lot.
Very nice pencil rendering on the second last one and very nice values on the last one.
Comparing the two last ones the pencil one look's quite different and for some reason look's a bit like female. In no way this is an insult but just something that struck me and look's quite different than the last one.

Hope this was somehow helpful. Take care.

[Sedig]

Tremendous progress here. Your linework is getting much more controlled--excellent. At the beginning, a lot of your lines were scratchy and they seemd to lack confidence, but that last set of five, ten and fifteen minute figure drawings demonstrated much more finesse. It's also great that you are starting to see shapes, or at least that's what I get out of that last selfportrait on page three. For a while hair was giving you troubles--you've got to look at it as masses of light and dark, defined by hard and soft edges. Your definitely making progress there.

The only advice I have for you now--start to think about edge condition. You can define almost everything with line, but you have to think about what that line is saying. Experiment with lineweight, figure out what works for you. Try to represent the edges you see. Along this same line--take your time with your rendering. Shadows are also subject to different edges--try to look closely at them, and try to represent them.

[Autumnal Dream]

Sedig: You're absolutely right! That's a thing I never payed attention to. I really have to figure this out. I'll try next time! Thank you very much. :)

small update
I just inaugurated my new mini-sketchbook ;D:

Hey, klasse Skizzenbuch. Wünscht ich hätte auch so gut mit Aquarell angefangen wie du :D und die Porträts sind echt einsame spitze nur um das zum hundertsten mal in diesem thread zu wiederholen!

[Autumnal Dream]

Danke man :) Aquarell malen macht so viel spaß! So viele effekte und möglichkeiten.. experimentier doch einfach mal herum, du kriegst schon das feeling dafür ;).

nothing special again..

Not much for me to say here, you've improved significantly from your first posts, and your on the right track. I especially like the hands in, cante and charcoal? i guess. Keep drawing.

[Maidith]

Fantastic figure drawings, really nice contrasts... you're doing really well! :)

[Manuel Poehlau]

Some really nice studies. The life drawing course really pays off .
I have to take some lessons too.

4 stars :)

[Carbono]

Self-Portraits are always cool, good to see the various kinds of exercises you do, cool stuff and great range of subjects.

Keep it up man!

[Autumnal Dream]

photosynthesis: Jeah you're right :D Thanks buddy!

Maidith: Thank you :] btw: I adore your drawings!!

Manuel Poehlau: TY ^^, yeah lifedrawings kick ass, i especially love to catch figures with as less strokes as possible :)

Carbono: Thankss maan =D


Sorry for being a bit inactive last weeks, but had some trouble in school -.-.
Ass little guerdon i grubbed out some forgotten sketches and lifedrawings.

The last ones are some figuresketches as i went by train this morning.

hab ich eigentlich schon gesagt das deine schraffur einfach nru vorzüglich ist? Ich glaub das muss ich immer erwähnen weil meine immer verdammt scheiße herauskommt :D

[Autumnal Dream]

Hygami: Thanks bro ;D Actually I was up to tell you my new plans, but you're offline ... damn xD. Tell you tomorrow then.

Kurjuus: Haha, danke :D ... naja, in letzter zeit mach ich fast nur schnelle from-life-skizzen. Da hat man dann keine Zeit für besonders tolle schraffuren..
Musst mal gezielt sowas üben. Machst übrigens gute Fortschritte, weiter so ;).

Du bist schon wieder so produktiv und ich mach gar nichts, nur im Englischunterricht bisschen rumkritzeln.. :( ich brauch 'nen Motivationscoach oder so ^^ Super Sachen wieder dabei, ich mag deine Selbstportraits!

[Khakibin]

Man, Ive been through your whole sketchbook, and must say that you really - really - improved a lot!! What can I say, keep it up´and good luck!

[Autumnal Dream]

ploepp: Hihi Johanna :) Willst du etwa sagen, dieses Forum bietet nicht genug Motivation und Inspiration? Los! Hör auf rumzugammeln und fang an, es ist nie zu spät ;D.

Khakibin: Hey, nice to hear that i improved my skills... i didn't even recognize xD. Thanks :)


Two newer watercolors :)

[Kurjuus]

Nicht schlecht, nicht schlecht herr... autumnal dream :P sogar sher gut würd ich sagen.

Is it actually the light set up you use that makes the texture of the paper so prominent? I kinda don't like that, so I wonder now wheter I'll ever by that rough watercolor paper myself :D

[Autumnal Dream]

Kurjuus: Hehe, well the texture looks a bit extreme in here, you're right ^^. But its very rough indeed. Mh, but i don't think that it's disturbing at all. It's worth it, cause you can erase all wet colours with just one wipe, cause the water doesn't get in the paper that quick. I like this paper most for watercolors.. others, especially toned ones, distort the colours or you can't ever correct them after a mistake.
Well it's your choice ;) try them all out.

[ploepp]

och ja, die Familie.. nicht schlecht!
hab n klitzekleines Update, Chef!
<3 (edit: <-- haha, wollte doch nur ein Herzchen hierlassen.)

[Autumnal Dream]

Thanks Johanna :)

[ploepp]

Ey, jetzt mach du gefälligst auch mal wieder Updates!
Mit was hast du das letzte SP gemacht?

[Autumnal Dream]

Mit Photoshop. Aber ich hab keine Ahnung wie man das benutzt oder wie man korrekt coloriert.. desshalb auch das krüpplige bild ^^.

The latest two figure-drawings.. both watercolors

[Autumnal Dream]

Hey there!

Hygami (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=126056&page=8) just visited me for a week and we did our own little artworkshop.. I learned a lot!! Finally I know how to colorize with photoshop and we figured out some new drawingstyles. It was a great experience and I'm looking for the next meeting :D.

My mum ordered us to paint a picture in acrylic for a little reward :p.
She wanted us to paint the two portraits of us and my little brother on a colorful backround... we had free choice. Cause of the short time we couldn't finish it completely, so my head is still missing.

Anyway, this is the process:

First we doodled a little colorstudy for the backround in ps....

I hope you like it.. helpful crits are welcome.

cheers!

[ploepp]

UAHH!! amazing..

Die Gesichter sind ja mal der Hammer.. auch wenn sie ein wenig verloren wirken auf der riesigen (super grundierten) Leinwand. Aber echt, da waren zwei Künstler am Werk.. Respekt!

Ich will auch mal mit dir einen Artworkshop machen *lieb guck* :)

That acrylic thing is pretty cool, too.

Hey, nice sketchbook you got going here! I really like all the variety and experimentation. Your life drawings are just awesome.

Your anatomy is looking really good... I would love to see some more environment stuff... maybe some buildings/cityscape?

Keep up the great work!

[Autumnal Dream]

LifeWontWait: Yeah, thanks man. Environment stuff is a good idea! I'll focus on that next time. cheers!

Still doing good I see :) I disappeared for a bit, but I haven't given up. Those simple figures above are wonderful, what gave you the urge/idea to do that?

Keep producing

[Autumnal Dream]

Hey Dan Thanks.. I'm sorry for my absence.
I don't know what gave me the idea for those figures.. xD but I like to draw figures with as less strokes as necessary :p
