full of digital and traditional drawings :)

[RokasButkys]

hello and welcome to my sketchbook :) im 16 year old boy from Lithuania ( small country in Europe ), sorry for my english :teeth:

[RokasButkys]

first two are made with painters oils, but i prefer more photoshop.

[RokasButkys]

Need your opinion :bashful: Thanks for visiting :)

[Stoat]

The claw guy from yesterday is the best thing on the page. Very bold and graphic-y; nice clean colors. Transparent color tends to look "dirty" when it's heavily worked. At least, I can't seem to get the hang of it.

Keep going!

[RokasButkys]

thanks stoat x)
heres are new ones. Opinion please. :blahblah:

[That fat kid]

Hey Doctor,

This is a nice start to a thread. Lots of mostly realized work with lots of good choices. However, your fundamental drawing skills are lacking, as in your solutions for how the lighting falls on the figure and how the anatomy works, specifically how the musculature affects the visible surfaces and planes.

Start working longer on the beginning steps of the drawings, the linework, the proportions, blocking in the shades in a logical way. It'll go a long way to helping to finish a piece.

Also, spend as much time drawing from life as possible. It's critical.

~Andrew

[RokasButkys]

That fat kid Andrew - thanks, your a life saver ! really helpful. :painting:

[Lynus]

hey, while I like the claw guy, i have to disagree with stoats respectfully as i think that your still lifes are very well done, the time and attnetion you put into them really shines through, the texture on the orange and apple both are great and so is the lighting :)

[RokasButkys]

thanks lynus :)
I really feeling that im improving. Soon i will upload lots of sketches with pencils

[RokasButkys]

Heres some new stuff with my first try in oils was really fun

[RokasButkys]

Sketches are taken with photocamera. some of them are a bit old :)

[RokasButkys]

Happy new year ;]

[RokasButkys]

heres some new works that i enjoyed drawing.

[RokasButkys]

Would be nice to hear what you think.

[throtailer]

Paskutinės figūros tiesiog perfect. Referenced?

[zaimless]

I really like a lot of the things you show here. Your use of color and shading is done very well. I like the picture of the cat and moon jus the way it is, are you planning on changing it at all? :sungod:

[Rachnir]

Your stuff is realy cool. I loved the way, you draw the body studys. keep it up.

[RokasButkys]

thotrailer - i dont think that those figures are perfect but i glad you liked. I draw them reading anatomy books :)

zaimless - glad you like it, i think im gonna leave it. Better im gonna draw a new one even better! ( i hope )

Rachnir - thanks i like to draw them. Its almost like drugs, in a good way :)

Im going on a trip to Egypt, for a week :D so i wont draw that much :/ (but i will draw). See ya...

[Gardener]

wow, i think your trip to Egypt will be full of memories~ try to take a book and do some sketchs~ that will be fun!

[RokasButkys]

Gardener - yes it was fun, it was so fun that i almost didint had time to draw :/ really feel bad.
So when i returned i draw this dragon and did lots of sketches for school ( in few months i will post them ) and the creapy girl is really fresh drawing :)

[ben adelmann]

very imaginative work, and the proportions are right on. keep it up!

[RokasButkys]

ben adelmann - thanks for encouraging words :)

lazy days.

[RokasButkys]

draw draw draw... !

[l0stinth0ughts]

hey man i love this sketchbook, but for the stiff life humans a little tip i can offer is start with light contour lines and once youve got that mastered then the shading only comes easy. for critiquing just work on those contour lines and try depth in shading, ill keep checking in to see your progressing. hope this helps :rocker:

[RokasButkys]

l0stinth0ughts - yeah im trying to master those lines. THANKS !

Heres some cards for school, topic was "My homeland". And one drawing with watercolours :)
Would be nice to hear what you think.

[l0stinth0ughts]

cool, like the new updates, especially the last water color one. the single guy walking, it has its feel, wish it was kinda darker tho, like grayish colors some where around there.

[RokasButkys]

l0stinth0ughts - probably i will darker the corners, thans again !

As always excpecting to hear some opinions.

[RokasButkys]

Im really happy with this one.:muscle:

[l0stinth0ughts]

hey man looking good around the neighborhood. i like the last post, but he seems a little to bulky though, maybe its around his shoulder areas, try putting more muscle lines and details, but as for color goes its good ^.^ also, his necklace so to be gravity defined, its not hanging... :( lol hope this helps, i look forward to the updates. :rocker:

[RokasButkys]

l0stinth0ughts - hey, i dont know about the bulky thingy, but the shoulders are definetily out of position.

Another speedy
Cheers !

[TimGrayson]

nice sketch hands ;]

[RokasButkys]

TimGrayson - thanks, thats my left hand ;)

[RokasButkys]

gouache drawing is a sketch for school oil painting.

[Quinn Simoes]

Nice work, your studying and working hard! I like your creature painting called "Gollem 3"

Keep posting!

Quinn

[RokasButkys]

Quinn - its really nice to hear that from such talented artist.

[RokasButkys]

Woalla...

[RokasButkys]

Nasty perspective...

[smid]

Nice progress dude keep it up! I like monster on #32.

[RokasButkys]

smid - thanks! :)



I like saturated color, but i guess i overdided this time. Im so happy with that dude with cap.

[sjuskadur]

Cool stuff you got there, keep it coming, remember practice practice practice! :D

[RokasButkys]

sjuskadur - thanks a bunch!

saw andrew ley sketches and i had to do some of my own sketches his style. Its really fun !

and a wallpaper - http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/1754/wallpaperbyrokasbutkysye5.jpg

[Yngling]

Hey!

I like the one on top of this page, the textures and colours are nice. Your faces seem a bit weird sometimes, but that may also be partly because of deliberate distortion. The monster sketch show some great anatomy, you seem to have that down pretty good already. Funny thing: the clip on my drawing board looks EXACTLY the same as yours, the ridges, the curves and all. But that's just details, your work shows progress, your digital work especially. Good job on the texures!

Yngling

[RokasButkys]

Yngling - Really thanks. You helped me to understated more about my drawings. Your drawings are really great !

my figures are really stiff. Working on that... :]

[RokasButkys]

heres some new stuff :)

[Crazy Pills]

Nice sketchbook... looks like your progress is coming along quickly. Keep it up.

[RokasButkys]

Crazy Pills - Glad to hear that, thank you.


:yayca:

nice sketches, i really dig the one with the smoke around the characters (4th last) keep it up :)

[RokasButkys]

Grafguy - thanks, i apreciate that. I like that one too :)


I guess this one is still in progress and i hope i will come up with something to make this look better, because im having a blast painting this one :)

[DeKal]

your on a great track with this sb..just keep goin..youll get somewhere.

[RokasButkys]

DeKal - thanks, that means a lot to me.

[RokasButkys]

Wow, my sketchbook got some stars !
Thats really motivating ! gota work more.

Thanks everybody:hugsmile:

Heres that black eye fella modified just a bit, i say its finished :) and some muscles, used ref.

[D.O.Jones]

Really nice colours and textures in your work, especially in that last one.
Keep up the studying!

[RokasButkys]

D.O.Jones - Thanks Jone, ill try :)

And heres some pencils done recently

[RokasButkys]

Theyre also done in past few weeks :)
Burne Hogart hand studys and random face from the internet.

[RokasButkys]

heres a 20min portrait :)

[RokasButkys]

Heres my try at caricature :)

[RokasButkys]

Heres another one, puted lots of time in it, but i dont like it.

[lennon]

Hey, great work!
Keep going with the foundational drawing, and you'll see how it affects everything. One thing that I would do is to forget for the moment about the rendering (you do that pretty well, but it robs you time to practice on the bold figure, you should only focus in doing thousand of figures with the only concern of their equilibrium and their proportions). I like the direction that you're taking non of the least.
You do well in dividing your studies into head, hands, and simplify figure. As you're going already in that direction, I can't say anything but "keep going", and "your work looks terrific" (it does!).

[RokasButkys]

lennon - Thanks, thats the help i needed.

These were done before lennons advice, since that im drawing lots of figure without rendering.

[voraz]

Hi, lots of studies you've got here, some nice stuf!
I think you have some good skills with digitall painting, the last face study looks good.
I would suggest using even more textures.
i would also like to see the pictures a little bigger, some of them are too small.
keep it up.
cheers

[RokasButkys]

voraz - thanks for the tips :)

[RokasButkys]

Hello again.
Heres some trys at teen chalanges.

[eparts]

nice sketches - work on the anatomy still i guess (because we can never have enough of it.

I love the drawing with the blacked out face. watch the reflection on that apple

thanks for dropping by on my sketchbook :)

[RokasButkys]

eparts - Hey thanks bro. I really like your stuff :)

Limited the dumb sketches in here.
So heres something new :)

[RokasButkys]

Heres a speedy that turned out fine :wink:

[RokasButkys]

Heres a work in progress.
Some help would be nice.

[RandAlThor]

Loads of cool stuff Dr. P. Whats the story behind the last one? Is that gonna be an underwater scene? What atmosphere are you going for? Let us know, and we can help you... looking forward to an update ;-)

[RokasButkys]

RandAlThor - Hey thanks!
Yes im planning on doing underwater scene, something from fantasy world.
Planning to put a harpoon on his hand. Dont know about the creature-beast behind him, maybe i will try some other designs on the creature-beast in second plan :)
And what do you guys think about the sea-algae in the right corner, doesnt it make the composition nasty?

[RokasButkys]

So here`s the finished one.

[RokasButkys]

And heres my first Fan ART.

[RokasButkys]

[RokasButkys]

Havent draw in a week or so, was gone on trip.
Used a bit of ref, that i found in sculpt section.

[RokasButkys]

Here im strugling with painter, cant get the hang of it. Better go back to photoshop.

[RokasButkys]

Hoping to update some pencil stuff.

[Jasper_]

Hey dude I'm definately seeing improvement from the first page. Keeping working on the figure like you've been doing and you'll be at the top in no time.

[wilkerson]

I agree with that comment, definite improvement.
I think you should do some more anatomy studies. Also, it might seem odd but painting some environments might actually help with your figure stuff.
At the very least it will give you something to situate them in, providing a context for the character.

[RokasButkys]

Pyroclasm00 - Thanks, glad to hear that.

wilkerson - Hey thanks, im soo crappy at environments... But yes youre right, need to draw them. Thanks for the boost :)

heres some more fun :)

[RokasButkys]

Have to do some serious drawings, not just doodles :davi:

[RokasButkys]

Dont have time to draw much...
But im studying the big Bridgmans book its not so easy as i espected, because im scatterbrain :/

:scribble:

[RokasButkys]

Some stuff :)

[nocdav]

hey.. ur art is nice.. last the man is good.. girl is good too but i thinks legs has some problems.. and u should draw distincly the nerve endings in your humans.. btw keep up good work and post more!!..

[Deodatus]

Hey. I think the last posts are great. Nice improvement in painting skills.
Take care!

[RokasButkys]

THANKS guys!

Oil painting that im working on. Some tips would be nice, dont wont to ruin this one, because it looks so good :)

[wookiedabo]

dont be precious about it mate, remember you can always work over it, rub it off etc. ltd pallet your using is good, but really dont be afraid to paint over those lines. tis looking promising tho

[RokasButkys]

wookiedabo - thanks for the tips :)

So heres what i got, i think i will lighten the background behind her.

[walnut]

Some blue or green accents in the shadow parts would make that painting pop, other than that not bad at all. I like that charicature in post #101 too.

[Hellfire]

Wow!
Awesome Sketchbook. Have you ever seen a software called artrage? Its good.
Anyway, excellent stuff, great drawings.
Keep on rocking!

[RokasButkys]

walnut - Thanks, ill guess i try some greens :) thanks.

Hellfire - rock on :) yeah i heard some good responses, about artrage, maybe will lay a hand on it sometime. Thanks \m/

Heres one for my friends birthday.

[RokasButkys]

Happy new year :) Hope you had wonderful holidays ;)

[RokasButkys]

Finished painting :) bad photo.

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Good start man, but I would love to see you do some more anatomy studies, that is the only thing that I can point to that would drive your art in the right direction right now.

-E

[RokasButkys]

Mischeviouslittleelf - Thankyou. Im actualy doing lots of bridgman with pencils, but i dont have a scanner, so dont wont to upload some shitty photos.

But yeah, i will do more studys.

Heres some todays work.

[RokasButkys]

Heres a work that was inspired by Thrash metal and Mr.Delicious ;)

[wookiedabo]

lady with gun pics look good, although the proportions look a little stunted, and her hips are pretty wide in the second one. guitarist looks like he's about too fall backwards, might wanna reposition his feet.

[RokasButkys]

wookiedabo - Thanks, i didnt noticed the lips, i dont know about the guitarist, i tried to do him little reclining.

And heres some more. For now im working on a 80cm x 80cm oil painting, big one ;)

[JailHouseRock2]

WOOH!..I can't believe I won! This never happens to m... Wait.. wheres my prize?

.. all I see is a shit lode of improvement and a hell of a lot of dedication, with some graet studies tost in as well.
Ohwell that will do.

[sourgasm]

I really like the business man sketch from page 4. Stylized without a solid base, which is a solid accomplishment. Keep it up!

[RokasButkys]

JailHouseRock2 - That really made me laugh, thanks that made my day :D

sourgasm - Thanks !!! ;)

and heres my first environment that im not scared to upload :)

[NothingbutZack]

Amazing, your improvement from the first to second page is so good. I'm now motivated to submit my own sketches to improve. ;) Very well done. Keep at it.

[RokasButkys]

NothingbutZack - Wow thanks, i can believe i motivated somebody, thats really great, it motivates me too to hear that ! Thanks again, draw and upload your stuff, looking forward to see :)

The figure studies have some nice weight to them. But watch your perspective! I like the colours on your "speedy" face sketch. I'd love to see more of that.

And heres some more.

Done this to kill some time 1h 15min :)

I like both versions :D

[RokasButkys]

Heres another one before going to bed :)

[J]

i prefer the second on post 159. It's got the right amount of contrast to say what you need to and relates more to his expression on his face. Now days everyone seems to put way more contrast than they need, its that pesky image> adjustments > auto contrast button I tell ya. Nice work man, your studies are soooo much better than your earlier posts.

[dU5K]

wowzers. thats a shitload of improvement in just six pages.. your good kid. real good. keep it up

[mythwork]

I love to see progression in an artists work...you should continue what you are doing and you never no what you will accomplish. An artist always studies and tries to improve...always.

[RokasButkys]

Good stuff good, good. Maybe you could go around the edges of the figures with a bit harber brush to knock out those smudgy edges. It would benefit your paintings a great deal i think.

hi there

[Jesus Food]

im loving ur brushes dawg, keep it up

[That fat kid]

Hey Rokas,

Extreme improvements since I last posted like 2 years ago. Your drawing skills have really come along.

I'm digging that you're working in traditional oil, it's looking pretty good. Right now you're drawing with the paint, not making the actual physicality of the paint work for you. Since paint has the benefit of actually existing as opposed to just being colors on a screen, it provides the opportunity for some neat tricks that'll make your life easier when using it.

It's thickness can be manipulated to your advantage with a few simples things in mind. Thicker paint comes forward, thinner paint recedes. Both literally and visually. Thick paint catches and reflects more light and therefore can be used in the light areas to great effect. For this reason, you want to save the heaviest application of paint for the most important areas. You've done this well on the girls face on her cheeks, nose, upper lip and whatnot, but there are areas which counteract this well thought out application in the background where clumps of paint catch light and become visually heavy where I assume you'd rather them not be, such as the edge of the hair, or on the right side in the ambiguous colors. These heavier applications of paint also read as harder edges where they probably shouldn't. This brings me into edges, and using them to adequately direct the viewer where to look. Normally, the eyes on a portrait tend to be the selling point, so make sure you use an economy of edges and really define all the little important parts so there's no guessing about where we should be looking. One more thing about the eyes, save the actual white of the tube for the wet highlights or you can flatten things out quickly. Namely, the whites of the eyes tend to be a bluish grey instead of bright titanium white, as I'm not seeing any cast or form shadows on the eyeballs, just a flat shape of white.

Just to ease my own thoughts, any negative things don't mean I don't like the painting, it's well drawn and shows good color theory. I just know you can make the next ones even better.

~Andrew

[RokasButkys]

Jesus Food - Thankyou

That fat kid - Thankyou thankyou and thankyou. Before i started the portrait on the canvas there was lots of thickness left from previous painting on this canvas.
I really like that portait too.
Thanks !

My friend :bounce:

[daveneale]

Cute bird:). Really liking the muted colours in those portraits-more of the same!:P

[RokasButkys]

daveneale - Thanks!

Heres some scans of my old drawings, thanks to a friend for scanning.

Soon there gonna be more scans :)

[Yor]

way the go! very good use of colors, nice and naturel, jsut how i love it! only thin that i noticed is that your digital stuff is more advanced then your pencils, so maybe some more of those couldn't hurt, ( give us some more eye candy :D)

keep on updating, man

[RokasButkys]

Yor - Thanks, glad you liked it :rocker:

heres some new stuff

[RokasButkys]

20 minute study :)

[RokasButkys]

Yes, another mindfuck...

Nice updates, the last one is crazy, where do you draw inspiration for peices like that? :teeth:

[P]

kaikur pas tave neproporcingos galvos, pasistudijuok koki loomisa.

The man with no name - haha thanks! mostly its my random doodling, sometimes i get inspiration from artists like Zhaoming Wu, Chet Zar, Dan Harding.. But the main inspiration source is CA :yayca:

I love this one, the texture the quirkiness of it,the slight but not over the top style and the sepia look.

[Hellfire]

Awesome drawings man!!!
Really great stuff here!
Some of your pieces looks a little bit vintage like old school illustration (which I think is a great compliment) but some look very modern and stylized. But they all looks amazing, and that's what matters.

[Jofx]

Cool stuff man, loving your drawings. try getting more contrast in the black and white picture. would make it more interesting

[Softskin]

Your paper stuff on this page is awesome.. kate moss' left eye is off, though.

[jatherip]

im in love with your mindfuck ;P
the brushwork on you digitals is adorable! keep goin!

[RokasButkys]

mysocksrock - Haha i love that girl too, literally :D
Jofx - Thanks. I like when b&w values seems duller
Softskin - Thanks and youre right about that eye :)
jatherip and Hellfire - Thanks a bunch!

Didnt draw with my tablet for days! The flower is from my mind the else is referenced :)

Heres a study from one of my favourite artist Zhaoming Wu !

geros studijos, po studijavimo darai kokius nors eskizus uztvirtinimui ka ismokai? kazkaip nesimato refleksu ant paskutines studijos, refe irgi taip buvo? bunis gerai atrodo :D grazus potepiai tavo.

[Sirkenneth]

Last digi looks very awesome! Keep focusing on your proportions! Some of the other drawings are a little off. But comparing for first page to this one-WOW wish I had that kind of improvement! Keep up the good work. You are doing well!

Oil paintings are really well done.

Fast oil paint head with weird eyes on paper and some mindless doodles on brown paper I like to draw with white graphite on it.

[NickyBeats]

Awesome sketchbook dude! you got a great sense of color, and your doodles are great too. i too love sketching on brown paper with white pencils, it jumps out at you. great stuff though, keep it coming!

[RokasButkys]

I imagine on pasta sauce right now (after I've taken a bite out of it).

Your pieces are always inspiring!

[RokasButkys]

dwardo - Hey thanks !! Im gonna do more oils soon :) I like your stuff !

The last one is self portrait. Guess whos the guy with beard :)

[vardoburrito]

I'm not too good with faces, and I've not done much Master studies, but I'll take a guess and say it's Sargent. (He had a beard, right?) hahaha.

Oh man, Rokas, your skin tones I salivate over, and your lighting looks easy on your end.
Is there a personal project that you've got plugging away behind the scenes?

Keep it up mate, I just went through your sb fully, and the progress is there.
I'd just like to think that you're applying them to a full blown project somewhere, which would be nice. :)

Cheerios

[RokasButkys]

dwardo - Hey! No its not Sargent its Mucha :) Thanks well i dont have no big project behind the scenes, just polishing my skills, doing some oils i will post them later.

[Jofx]

[Pixie Trick]

I love the woman in post 221. Really, really lovely use of warm and cool colours and brushstrokes, as well as the slight surrealism of the eyes. I'm going to have to come back here when I have more time and look through your 'book!

[Hellfire]

Awesome stuff man.
Excellent drawings.
Great structure, your drawing looks solid!

[MoKhi]

You've got a great sketch book.
Your really building up your forms in those brown paper sketches. The heightening is very effective. And I love you zombies!

[BlackDelphin]

Your portraits have some very confident lines, especially when i look at their nose :)
I like your traditional work very much, and your digital too. :D

I don't find anything to critique, but i do think some posemaniacs from time to time, or just some more figures would be nice?
Good luck.

[RokasButkys]

OmertA - Thanks
BlackDelphin - Thanks! more figures is always good.

Heres some more now.
Most of the hands are from W.Bouguereau.
