Sketches, doodles, etc. [realitychek]

[realitychek]

I'm sort of newer to CA, more of a lurker, but I want to start changing that and draw more and get come critiques, so that equals a sketchbook for me I guess :)

About me: I live in western new york, I'm 16 years old, and taking any and all art classes available (which is now less than I'd like, thanks to my school which doesn't believe in the importance of art :( )
I don't have a whole lot of experience in digital arts, my art teacher has photoshop on the art room computers, so any extra time goes there, and I'm currently saving up for photoshop or painter.....

alrighty then, to the sketches! Right now just exercises and, well, sketches. I'll have to get some pics of my finished stuff asap.

The scanner isn't the greatest, so some of the pics have blurrier areas where there aren't and and the hand one is rather grainy, which it isn't.

get painter with student price. I got mine for 99usd instead of the full 400usd retail price. Good luck :yayca:

[realitychek]

Wow! I'll definitely have to look into that a bit more :)

[Sirskankfoot]

hey man i like your style, especially the flag with the newspaper clipings. It makes you think a bit.

[Evxyza92]

Nice stuff man , you got a little flow in your stuff.

[realitychek]

Thanks guys :)

[last1picked]

cool stuff! keep pushing the range of your grayscale values. make sure you hit the dark darks and the lighter lights. this will give your drawings much more believability and depth. if you're working from a reference in color, it helps to bring it into photoshop and desaturate it (aka make it grayscale). keep drawing!

[realitychek]

Alright, here's some skeleton studies for Moai's animal anatomy mentoring course:

[Blue Severin]

If you're still in highschool, you might try creating your own 'independent study' or something like that. I think I ended up taking extra night classes at a college when I figured out I wanted to go to college for art. The mentoring thing should help you out a ton. Keep up the good work.

[Nigh7shad3]

hey man don't worry about your drawings looking bad or not turning out the way you want it to be. Just do the best you possibly can and enjoy the process-someday you'll look back at these drawings and say ''oh my that sucks I definitely can draw better than that old me.'' :^^:

[realitychek]

Thanks Blue Severin and Nigh7shad3 :)
did this up yesterday, an assignment for art class, one of those drawing upside down things, it took forever! and the hooves aren't that smooth looking...*shakes fist at scanner*

[Justin.]

I know you did those studies from Maoi's thread, but I really want to see alot more life drawing in here. Draw at least a few hand studies every single day, even if it's a few minutes before bed. At least!!! Do as much as you possibly can every day, during school and while you are bored and stuff.. A great way to learn things about creatures is also to draw real ones- everything from Aardvarks to Zebra. Make sure you hit the weird ones- Whales, Rhinos, Gazelles, and the like. Things with very unique features.

and again, more life drawing!

[realitychek]

Ok, it's been WAY too long since my last post in here, from now on at least a post every week, I promise! :) Also, thanks for the crits Justin, I'm finally starting to get into the habit of doing at least some hand studies every day, and on occassion a self portrait, which I'd like to do more of. Well, with that said, more sketches (I have done more than just these, most in Moai's tutoring in Animal Anatomy, will probably post those when I've some more time) First one, well, a lot of just stuff- a couple of had studies, some random shapes and little figures, a bit of a cliff in the background on the top along with a horse head, plus an eye and some random shapes.

[Maxine Schacker]

If you want more training, take a look at the summer classes at Max the Mutt in Toronto. This year in addition to the "Learn To Draw" intensive, we'll offer a painting intensive. The web site is www.maxthemutt.com. I'm not sure if summer courses are posted yet, but if they aren't give Carla Drmay a call at 1-877-486-MUTT.

[realitychek]

Thanks Maxine :) I really do need to look into taking extra art courses, the tricky thing with summer vacation though is me getting a job over summer vacation, so I can get a Wacom tablet and maybe a laptop....

Well, as far as an art update, only a few pieces, a few Bridgeman studies (I just got his book for Christmas) and a painting assignment for my art class, which took somewhere around 12 hours I think (sorry about the crappy photo!)

[ikuru]

the book sketch you did further up on this page is the best so far I think.. keep drawing from life m8..

[realitychek]

Thanks Ikuru :) More stuff coming tomorrow, but while I'm at it here, might as well post a better pic of the still life
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/of50332442-1.jpg

[realitychek]

Right, meant to get these up yesterday but oh well. More Bridgeman studies again, and the last one is a "final" thumbnail for a painting I'll be working on once I finish my LMS piece :S

Alright, more quick stuff. These are just sketchbook assignments for art class. Tomorrow I'll post pics of some in progress paintings I'm working on.
edit: Damn, knew I forgot something. Last one is a sketch for the god of leaves challenge.

[realitychek]

Ok, some PS stuff that I fiddled with this week in school, more in the next few days hopefully.
First, crappy still life of some chalk in a box had about 30 minutes to do it.
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/2431103040101453012adCNHv_ph.jpg
Then a character idea I was fiddling with, might ditch it for a while, might not...
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/2032689210101453012FYbRfl_fs.jpg
And a robotic angel of sorts I started yesterday, I know pretty much all of the body is too big right now, but that was just the original quick sketch.

Interesting concepts...

[realitychek]

Like I said there's a few missing, but I'll get them up in the next couple of days hopefully

[realitychek]

Ok, I'm a lazy bum. So here's a change of pace, me actually doing some artwork and posting ;)
Still Life:
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/skullstilllife.jpg

[Moai]

Nice study, Realitychek. I remember the cow skull from my old college drawing class. It was a very challenging and fun subject to tackle.
Your portfolio looks pretty cool too.
I'd critique you, but I need to save my breath for the mentoring thread.:rendered:

[realitychek]

Thanks Cory :) It definitely took a while to do the skull, but I really enjoyed doing it.
I can't wait to really get going in the animal anatomy again

[realitychek]

Assignment for an art class:
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/NintendoController.jpg

COW entry (126, sound creature)
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/cow126final.jpg

[Me,Myself & Me again]

Awesome sound creature katie, love the pose and colours.
Really great stuff!

[realitychek]

Alright, here's something I've been working on recently, a still from the movie Speedracer done in acrylics.
Here's the original still:
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/speed.jpg

And here's what I have so far (still a ways to go...and sorry for the crap pics):
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/speedpainting1.jpg
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/speedpainting2.jpg

....and I'm glad I posted this because those pics have helped point out some things I need to adjust on the front end of the car...:)
I'll post more tomorrow

[realitychek]

Little update here with some recent stuff....first was going to be a starting point for the Season's COW but he kinda developed into his own thing:
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/seasons.jpg
And this one was just kind of a screw around and loosen up thing with the pen tool on PS that developed into the grim reaper some how
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/reaper.jpg

[realitychek]

Another movie still I'm working on, this time from The Bourne Supremacy
Original shot:
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/bourne2.jpg
What I've got so far:
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/JasonBourne.jpg

[Me,Myself & Me again]

Awesomeness Katie!!!!!
doin awesome can't wait to see the peices both finished ^.^
Keep it up your doin wickedly :D

[Baltar]

I love, love, love your girl with the missing/mask face with the "?" on her shirt. You have technically much better pieces and have improved a lot since then, but it's really interesting. Her posture, the sadness as the masks looks at her back are all really great details.

I'd love to see you revisit that idea/theme again. It seems your AP art class is helping a lot - awesome!

[realitychek]

Kieran , thanks :D

Baltar: Thanks for the comments, that's definitely still one of my better pieces :) I wouldn't mind going back to the concentration idea again either, but I need a little break for now. AP did help a lot too, it was a lot of stress and a strain on a lot of time, but in the end pushing myself that hard was one of the best things I did.

An update on Bourne (not to mention a better scan :) )
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/JasonBourne-1.jpg

[Me,Myself & Me again]

Katie i've only just noticed this but mr bournes rifle seems to have a slight droopage ;P
The rifle slightly curves down.
Hope this comment gets to you before you render it more.
^.^ Kieran out.

[realitychek]

hehe, yep, I noticed Kieran- the sketchy parts are only for a quick feeling of placement so I really don't botch things up. Thanks though and ttyl :)

[realitychek]

Meant to post more than this (I will tomorrow!), but for now here's Jason Bourne all finished up unless if anyone sees anything that needs fixing. He looks a lot better in person than the scan does, something about the pencil reflecting the scanner light probably *sigh*
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/Bournedone.jpg

[Me,Myself & Me again]

Awesome that came out gr8 katie!
I see the rifle straightened out it looks hot.
Can't wait to see the other pics your promised :P
Keep it up that pact seems to be workin.

[realitychek]

^Yeah, still working on those Kieran...been a busy week :)
A crappy pen cross-hatching still life though (would've been better if I hadn't butchered the right side of the radio):
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/radio.jpg

[realitychek]

Quick update, some thumbs throwing ideas around for the current CHOW, and a WIP of what'll be the final (I know there's a bunch of stuff wrong, but it's all getting painted over in PS :) )
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/CHOWWIPs.jpg
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/CHOW.jpg

And a very much in progress colored pencil close up of the cow skull that's in my art class
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/skullWIP.jpg

edit: Oops! Forgot some quick Bridgeman studies
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/bridgemanhands.jpg

[Goog]

great studies man, look forward to amazing stuff from you in the future. Cheers!

[realitychek]

Got a little creative the other day, and ended up with some random creatures:
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/creatures3.jpg
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/creature2.jpg
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/creature1.jpg

[realitychek]

Ok, small update here, wip piece I started yesterday, should have it done this weekend at the latest. Also, skull close up in colored pencil and speedracer painting are nearing completion :) Been trying to spend lots more time on my artwork here.....anywho, I present skull kid! Need to finish up the background, his hand, and, of course, anything anyone else catches that needs fixing. Oh, also want to go in and work on his jeans more, they've been bothering me.
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/skullkid.jpg

[realitychek]

Skull kid, done....er, actually his hand looks too small, so I'll fix that but otherwise, done!:
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/skullkiddone.jpg
and a quick sketch of a snake (about 30 min. in PS)
original pic from a google search:
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/Brown20snake20Midland20rez.jpg
sketch thingy:
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/CA/snake.jpg
^Only thing I'm noticing that should be fixed is his head going into his neck, I cut mine off a bit quickly- a bit too close to a 90 degree angle

[realitychek]

Couple of random creature and doodle sheets, a self portrait in acrylics, and a still life that will never be finished as one of the onions has gone missing 0.o

553017
553020
553023
553021

[Me,Myself & Me again]

Well i'm back and it seems by your recent updates you've progressed through xmas better than i did with the odd doodle here and there lol.
The selfportrait looks good, really strong facial expression. Only crit is the black outline? Understand if its for the background but the line on your right forearm pulls it out of realism just that tad. But other than that i like it.

p.s I'm in your no name sketchgroup now :D

p.p.s Come to Stafford :P

[Katzenminze]

hey, you are really imrpoving, your effort is starting to pay off!
my advice to you would be that you try to loosen up your sketchwork, look at sketches that you like from other artitst and ee where they work loose and where they work more defined, it adds alot to the overall image, when certain parts are more worked out thean others! :)

[Hilbruks]

Hi realitycheck.
That Bourne-image is really sweet, and your getting alot better. Keep up the good work :)

[spaztastic]

My Goodness you improve with every post. Keep it up, I am really digging your creatures, you seem to have a nack for them. I think you would be an awesome creature designer one of these days...

[shannanigan]

More Creatures!! :D

[realitychek]

Me, Myself.....: Thanks for the critique man :) Definitely see your point on that and I'll probably go back in and change that sometime here.

Katzenminze: Thanks, definitely some good advice! Been looking at other artwork a lot lately as far as defining some parts more than others, hopefully I've really taken this all in though and I'll be able to apply it.

Hilbruks: Thanks for the comments :)

Spaztastic: Thanks, definitely pursuing creatures 'cause I love 'em so much :D

shannanigan: lol, here ya go! ;)

Another creature sheet:
563189
And a crappy self portrait, but it was fun to experiment on the pastel paper :)
563182

I've got more work lurking in my room and at school too that I'll have to post soon. Need to get to work entering more weeklies too.

[realitychek]

Update! :)

First off, WIP acrylic painting of a rioter (will be throwing a moltov cocktail)
564885
564887

And a WIP CHOW entry- the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland (first two sheets are studies/ideas being thrown around)
564882
564883
564880

And another creature sheet :)
564884

[Me,Myself & Me again]

Can't wait to see how that rioter comes out, he looks great. I'll reply some more tomorrow too tired now need sleep :)

[spaztastic]

YAY more creatures. They are looking good. I also want to see some more anatomy studies, if you are well rounded and specialize in a few things you will be like uber desirable to employers... how do I know this...cause I am jobless I spend too much time in one area, and yeah, nuff said.

[sheetghost]

Critters! Aw, I love those guys.

[Janos]

Hi there
Awsome creature designs. I relly like the different faces you've created. Quite inspirational actually. Great Job!

Cheers

[Verehin]

skulls...mmmm...I loooove skulls))

[realitychek]

Woot, 3 pages!

Kieran: Thanks man :)
Spaz: Thanks. I definitely want to start branching out more- especially character and environmental-wise.
Sheetghost, Janos, Verehin: Thanks all for stopping by :D


Anywho, back to updating.....
Not much actually, been spending a LOT of time helping out building and painting sets for our school's musical, so that's been eating up a solid 2-3 hours every day that's normally regular art time.
But a couple of Bridgeman studies to keep me going:
571239
571243

[shannanigan]

Wow... thats like Science homework! Words... they confuse me. LOL!
Nice job on the arm studies... ;)

So you didn't get your caterpillar done for Chow. Thats too bad, the sketches were cute. :D

[Vehkt]

I too am impressed with the detail you go into for the Bridgeman studies, nice work and kudos for already delving into the scary world of animal anatomy.

Here's me struggling with mere humans!

Keep it up :D

[realitychek]

shannanigan: hehe, thanks :) But yeah, didn't get around to finishing the caterpillar, however, busy saving up for a laptop and corel painter x because it's a lot quicker to do stuff like that digitally....
Vehkt: lol, thanks :) I really rather enjoy the Bridgman studies, once I get going on them I find it's hard to stop :)

And along those lines of Bridgman studies, got a couple more I got around to doing up today, 2nd one, didn't get to take notes on the supinator and pronater yet.

572016
572018

[aliciad33]

hey my friend..i totally feel your pain about having an underfunded art program. My high school in cleveland literally was the least funded in the whole bloody county. But looking at your work from your first post to your last - there is some serious improvement in content. The usual mandatory drawings of drapery just dont cut it in the real world; Im really happy to see that your branched off into some more heavier stuff like that american flag piece.

[Vehkt]

Still making me wish I hadn't left my sketchbook at home. Ah well, we're back on Monday so i'm sure I can survive til then.

Since I like some of your interesting creations, I vote that we some something perculiar in here soon :D.

[realitychek]

aliciad33: yeah, I won't get started on the arts in high school because I will never shut up but the best we can do is take up every opportunity that pops up and work hard on our own time
vehkt: something peculiar, huh? :)

Ok, yeah, I've been slacking a lot here, need to get back on track :)
So here's a little to get me started:

finishing up more bridgman studies
578196
578198

and my idea for the current COW sound creature.....have my doubts that he'll be finished in time, and yes, he's missing his hands or whatever you'd like to call them, always seem to get stuck on hands/feet/paws/hooves/claws, etc. for some reason.
578199

[Keeviin]

You're quite good with animals - keep 'em coming beastmaster!

These bridgeman studies also look like serious business - maybe make sure to draw some figures and poses so you can apply the anatomic knowledge.

[Psychotrope]

I really like your art! And I totally did that exact upside-down drawing in Art class a few years ago. You've got some really great stuff, especially your painting work. The watercolor graffiti scene is one of my favorites. I think one thing you can benefit from is the removal of absolute black in your paintings. In real life, if you're going for realism, almost nothing is pure black- it's always a very dark shade of a color, usually blue. When doing a picture in traditional media, it is best to use one of those instead of black, even for deep shadows, as black can remove from the painting as it seems odd to the human eye. I would also work on more dynamism: your pictures have a good deal of shading and proportion, but images like the one with the girl and the mask can be made -so- much more interesting by changing the view point so it's not dead-on. You obviously understand vanishing points and perspective, so you should put them to use in all your works.
Great stuff, though! :)

vehkt: something peculiar, huh? :)


Stuff like your avatar :D It's... nicely executed and interesting to look at :D.

I'm sat next to my sketch pad, so I might take a breather from 3D stuff later and get a page of interesting things down! :D

[realitychek]

Keeviin: Thanks for the suggestion :) I'm just starting to get into posemaniacs
Psychotrope: Yeah, I need to avoid black, something I've been wanting to stop using for a while
Vehkt: Ah, that kind of stuff :D I think you might like this last one then ;)


Here's what I got update-wise though....
Some posemaniacs, need to loosen up a little more though.....

Omg that last pic is friggin sweet!!!!
Really awesome, so's the seed pic aswell.
Wicked keep it up with the pencil sharpenings. ;)

[realitychek]

Thanks Kieran :)
And a good chunk of posemaniacs....first some "regular" ones, then 30 second ones.....Obviously, I'm kinda struggling with the 30sec. ones, but just means I need to practice more :)

Ahhh nice stuff :D
It's good to see i'm not the only one that's occasionally thwarted by studies :D. It's always gutting to be on a roll of nice studies then sort of slip up.

But you're keeping at it! Which is the main thing :D

[spaztastic]

Awesome job on the life drawings, very good. I always love to see your creatures there so cool....

[Robot_Butler]

Hey, I'm new here and was just snooping through your sketchbook. Your name drew me like a magnet. Are you a lucid dreamer, too?

I really like all your beasties and creatures. It is neat to be able to look through a years worth of sketches all at once, like this and see the progression and evolution. Like I said I'm new here, so I'm totally blown away by this whole section of the site.

Keep up the good work :teeth:

[realitychek]

Eesh, trying to get back into doing more stuff here now (had a week off from school)- and it wasn't much of a break. Had to read The Count of Monte Cristo for english- did as much of that as I could, but still have another 200 pages to go :\ In other words though, not much time for artwork, and what I did manage to do up for the battle of the sexes td.....er.....not to happy with it.

Ok, rant over though, time to get going on art! :)
Was fiddling around in photoshop at school today and decided to have a go at enviros....only ended up with one speed one that I was kind of happy with:
601360
Working on stuff for the new COW too, definitely planning on being finished in time for this one :) I'll be getting pics of my wip up tomorrow.

Vehkt, spaz: Thanks :D
Robot_Butler: thanks for stopping by :) Interesting that my username pulled you in like that- actually I hardly ever get dreams (er, well, according to scientist people I like many others just don't remember them....)
Welcome to CA too!

[JailHouseRock2]

Hi there,

Really enjoying the Bridgman studies, and lovein the skullsX

Liked your TD too, keep it up realitychek.
matt

[realitychek]

Thanks matt :)

And as promised, the wip c.o.w.:
602258
Not entirely happy with it, but we'll see where it goes :)

[realitychek]

Another little update on colossus from hell
604572
and some posemaniacs, I think I'm finally starting to get used to these
604573

[realitychek]

Another day, another update
Hopefully I can keep this up ;)
Posemaniacs:
605434
Random creature sheet:
605436
Not sure I'll be able to finish my c.o.w. in time though....if not, it was still fun and good practice

[spaztastic]

great job on the pose sketches those will help you out alot. I know they are helping me. and did I mention I love your latest COW.

[realitychek]

Thanks Spaz :) They're definitely helping me out a bit, and definitely getting more used to them too with all this practice. Might have to try the next chow to test what I've learned ;)
Didn't have much time to draw today, but still managed a bunch of little 30 sec posemaniacs. I think I can only do so many of the 30 sec. ones at once, otherwise I burnout (for example, page number 4 was pushing it here...)
606239
606241
606242
606243

[Vehkt]

I do love your studies dude :D
How much time do you spend on each one?

[realitychek]

Thanks Vehkt :) Um, the ones I just posted were just the 30 second ones, so 30 sec. per pose there, but the more finished ones I usually spend about 3 or so minutes on, sometimes more, sometimes less- depends on how weird the perspective gets.

Argh, didn't update yesterday, was so close to updating every day. Oh well, still trying to keep up the frequent posting :)
Anywho, a couple little sketches I did today for the two head undead COW.
608313

608315

Had been looking through two headed animal pictures today for some inspiration. Found:
http://img.metro.co.uk/i/pix/2007/03/pigheadsAP_450x300.jpg
Love the third eye that's perfectly centered.

[Vehkt]

I like it :D It's big n bulky and you've accounted well for the anatomy. Which all those studies played a part in :D

[spaztastic]

hhehehehehe this last cow is awesome he reminds me of Pinky from DOOM. :D just needs a wheel chair awesome work keep it up.

[realitychek]

Thanks Vehkt and Spaz :D
Once again never finished this guy XD lol, but hey, still getting practice in when I work on them.....Here's where he got to in photoshop last week:
614669
So yeah, I've been slacking. Thanks for posting here you two- reminding me I need to get back on track :) I'll have to do up new stuff now

[realitychek]

Um, yay for slacking? Just kidding, been getting mad at myself for not doing much, just haven't been inspired lately :\ But got around to finding a little today, hopefully more tomorrow lol

I'm feeling the need for some more finished stuff in here though. I'll get going on that.

[Lakeland]

love the pose studies, and concept mobs. Keep it up!

[Me,Myself & Me again]

Damn you so beat me when it comes to creatures, they look more like realistic prehistoric mammals. :D Awesomeness katie simply awesomeness.
Keep it up madam.

[realitychek]

Lakeland: Thanks, and glad to see you around again :)
Kieran: Aw, thanks.....I was with Moai's anatomy class for a lot longer though, so any credit gets passed on to him ;)

Eesh, talk about another long time lapse :[ But I have an excuse that starts with a "f" and end with a "lu" Not the stomach variety thank god, but I've been trying to hack up a lung for the past week :dead:
But yeah, in my sickness and stupidity of last week, I did finish two projects (a zombie in pencil for a friend, and an entry into the allentown art festival poster competition....) Both of which I forgot to get pictures of......I'll be able to get the poster back next week, but the zombie is gone (the girl that got it graduated, so I hardly see her........)
Anywho, some posemaniacs to start off the day:
regular:
633045
30 seconds:
633048

And on this past Saturday, we ended up going around Buffalo, mostly along the waterfront, and (more importantly), by the aud

Fucking shame really.....but it makes for some great ref. pics:
http://s44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/Pinto777/Reference%20Photos/the%20aud/
I threw in a couple of random shots of other things in there too, just for good measure ;) I'll be doing a painting or two of some of them....

[realitychek]

...and some creatures for today, I have no clue what's going on with some of them, but it was nice to loosen up a bit :)
edit: sorry for the crap quality scans.....

Still alive, but wow it's been a long time. A random doodle that started a few hours ago- I like where he's going though 659166

[spaztastic]

Glad to see you back. I know how feel with that stupid flu, I had it for two weeks straight and one week of recuperation. blegh :dead:
I am liking your latest updates keep em coming. good work on the posemaniacs!

[Lakeland]

:oneye:

[realitychek]

hehe, thanks spaz and lakeland :D , definitely need to start posting more frequently again.
Er, on that topic, me drawing me?....
668889

[realitychek]

And a drawing I just finished of Andromeda (by Domenico Guidi apparently- didn't have time to look at any information while we were running through the Met at NYC- only enough time to take pics), and this is from one of my pics. Apologies for the crap photo- but the scan was even worse- didn't pick up and of the shading or details.....

670360

I think I learned a lot doing this, been in a creative funk of sorts, going back to an odd mood I've been in the past week or two. Just getting upset about realizing I don't think I know who I am anymore. I'm sick of being so nice I'll put up with anyone's and everyone's bullshit and end up acting like a mirror, simply reflecting people's personalities and losing myself in the process. Haven't had a good idea for a piece of art for so long now because of that- I'm not going to bullshit my way through a project to have someone (especially myself) call foul and fraud because I know it won't be me. Fuck it, I've thought over it so much in my head it doesn't even make sense to me anymore- hell, I don't even make any sense to me anymore.
Guess I'll just stick with studies for now then.

[realitychek]

Still in mental limbo, so some little, quick doodles from more NYC pics- a pigeon, two artifacts from Africa, and a real bad 30 sec sketch of a greek vase of sorts.....speaking of those nyc pigeons though, anyone know where they come from?? Didn't see any pigeon nests or pigeon eggs or pigeon fledglings.....we ended up figuring every new year a pigeon portal opened up above the empire state building and a multitude of pigeons spilled into our world. :blahblah:

672042

[Lakeland]

Mental Limbo ? you lack of motivation or what?
get to wurk! :P
Nah mate, it took me quite some time to realise it but every pic you make even the most horrible one is bringing you closer to mastery, so keep on posting, keep on drawing, and we ll be here to throw some comments on it :D

seeyah

[realitychek]

Not really a lack of motivation, I dunno, it's hard to explain any more than I tried in my earlier post.
Quick painting I did last night- for some reason I was dubbed "Goat Skull" in school by some friends and it's kind of stuck for some reason.
673631

[realitychek]

Meh, more creature doodles and a goat skull headed self portrait of sorts- next attempt will be less rushed and that eye-hand thing will be gone. Creature-wise, once school's out (9 days), I'm delving back into anatomy on my own, definitely need more work.

[DStraX]

that scull with the barcode was cool :) A little murky but i guess that just the picture

[Me,Myself & Me again]

Oh my god an update. I geuss thats what u were doing while chatting to me :D
Love your studies and creatures(of course).
Try photoshopping one of em. Just for fun ;P

Keep it up madam.

[realitychek]

Thanks DStraX :)
Kieran: I would definitely be playing with creatures in photoshop or whatever, but I need to invest in a few things first (such as photoshop, wacom tablet, etc....)
But how about clay? :D
701853
Still have a ways to go on the bugger, but I like how he's turning out :)

[Linguini]

It's nice to see another teen on here!! I love the way your clay sculpt is coming along, I can't wait to see it finished. Have you thought about doing AP 3-D? :)

[realitychek]

Long time no updates, but did manage some time here and there to draw while moving.....

[realitychek]

A couple more doodles.....sudden boost of sci-fi inspiration thanks to Moon, and another creature thrown in for good measure :)

[Wolfyu]

Hey, hello!

You have some badass acrylic skills, I must say, and I love the recent creatures. Bird-headed man makes me extremely happy. Off topic, but I'm torn between loving you and hating you for peer-pressuring me into making a sketchbook. D:

[Me,Myself & Me again]

I like that last big bug eyed thing. Really cool creatures as always, but your definatly getting better.
I also like your skull headed people they really have character towards them.
:D

[Lakeland]

work with anathomy man, your starting to fall off the cliff with that imaginary stuff. Its still good, but I get the feeling you start loosing the connection to reality, and even the weirdest shit you think of must be in some way based on reality, if its not, it stops beign readable.

[realitychek]

ok, just a quick bump so I actually update this damn thing very soon witht the rest of me stuff!
Wolfyu: You know you appreciate your new sb ;)
Kieran: muchas gracias :)
Lakeland: I completely understand, and know you're right. I've been meaning to get back into anatomy studies, both skeletal as a refresher and muscles- so will get back to work with that stuff very soon.

Meanwhile, before I bombard this thread with photos, a little digital doodle:

yeeeehaaaw :mod: look it's a horse jumping through the fire!
....anyway...Very cool, as always. It's amazing how ccad has helped improve everyone's work so much. The creature studies are the best :D...crazy detail.
Seeing some of your work early in the year inspired me to try harder in my sketches ;)

[Me,Myself & Me again]

F!*?king awesome!
Your really coming along katie.
:D

[Me,Myself & Me again]

Happy new year kate,
and a happy late christmas as well, better late than never :D

[Eric Young]

You need a little more practice with your figure studies, they seem a little stiff. But your creature concepts look awesome and really fresh. Keep up the good work.

[realitychek]

The Original [E]: They're not in this post (will be in next!) but I've been practicing figures a lot lately (both in and out of class). Thanks :)

I should update regularly so massive dumps like this one don't happen, but here we go again!
Now this is all the stuff in my current sketchbook so far, I still have lots of stuff to post from my previous sketchbook and classes but figure this is a fair start
Let's see then......creature fun:

More to come tonight!

I love your graphite work so much; it has some sort of personal THING about it, and the way you cross-hatch into the background...

(That up there is why I never leave constructive comments. :'D )

[realitychek]

wheeee!! And some more junk to dump today :)
Thanks Wolfyu :D You're too nice and I'm going to tell you so to your face at dinner :P

anywho, me being a creeper on the buses:

This is what happens when you draw a character and ask "what should he be wearing?"

Like I said there's a few missing, but I'll get them up in the next couple of days hopefully

Damn man some of this stuff could def pass for ccad material! You really seemed to know what you were doing back then- which was more than you could say for me XD especially the lockers painting-wow.

[realitychek]

OH SNAP. Must kill old with the new! Well newER work at least....
So I'm back updating on the grounds of not being able to break a pinky promise :3 and here goes lol
First off some older stuff, maybe by about a month or two but what the hell, why not post it?

Some other, more recent work pertaining to a collab with Wolfyu. Not gonna elaborate at this point in time (ANGELS is all I'll say for now >.> ), but when I have more work done on it and more time to post I'll be sure to write out a lot of annoying thought process stuff ;)
(*er this, first one was an idea I was playing with but quickly scrapped XD)
