Could I get your advice on these rookies sketches please ?

[Smasher]

Hello,

I'm new to this community, so here is my first thread about a few sketches i've done in class (lol). I have been drawing for a few weeks now, and looked up on the internet (and on these forums mostly) to learn techniques, like perspective (which I'm training on at the moment).

Anyway, I would be happy to get your advice about my rookie thumbnail sketches. They're not fancy at all, just testing perspective, and having fun.

Thank you for your time !

Nothing is showing up, bro. Try attaching your images by using the upload feature Concept Art has. Go to advanced post options and click on the paper clip icon. :)

Hey Smasher,

Welcome! Looking good so far :). I think your linework will be much better if you use a sharper pencil and a ruler. I'm not a big fan of swastikas, but the pic in the middle row on the right is really nice. Nice composition.

There's an incredible thread on perspective you should definately check out:

@Ellingsworth: I attached the image to the thread. Though now it's a huge 1024*1024 image, sorry for the ones with a low speed internet connection.

@JonathanS: thanks ! I'm not a fan of swastikas either, I started with the idea of doing a modern paris fallen under facism, but in the end since it was a thumbnail sketche I couldn't see how to show that it was in the future, so it's just a kind of 1940's paris.

The thread you link me is one of the sources I got my learning from, awesome thread. Do you see any errors on my sketches ^^ ?

Also on the quick sketche on the bottom right i've put a question mark since I didn't know if I can use 3 pts perspective that way (with the 3 points on the same horizon line). Is it possible :) ?

I see what you mean about the ruler ^^. Though I just did that while listening to business lessons in college with my pen. I got to find a way to not have my lines fall to the right like they do lol, it seems like all the buildings are falling ^^
