You really have a nice style there, i love it.
Do you aim for becoming a cartoon artist ? because ive seen thos cartoon styled drawings and they look amazing!

[dresse]

i don't know.. actually i want to be a cameraman :-).
I think i just want to be good in óne thing... now i can do allot, but i don't excell in one... I make websites, 3D animations, 3D models, 2D illustrations, 2D animations, motiondesign, video and montage, ...

Now i'm focussing for a while on drawing, see where that is going... I still have a long way to go, but i like it.. and that's the most important thing!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are my new hero!!! I always have wanted to know how to make people with different characteristics and traits, but I never knew how to go about it. This is GREAT material to learn from. I love how you have so much feeling in your characters. Fantastic stuff, bro!
any suggestions on how you do your stuff? :P

[dresse]

hey, thanx! I've never been someone's hero :-) i like it :-).

I think to give your character allot of personality you just have to focus on every aspect of the drawing... I'm also still experimenting with different emotions and personalities and i've noticed that the eye's are really important. If you move the pupil of the eye half a millimeter it can make a difference between the character looking directly to you or looking at nothing...

But hey, i'm also just experimenting :). Most of the time i try to think of a whole background story of a person i'm drawing and try to let it come out in the drawing. No one will ever know my story behind a character, but i think somewhere you notice that there IS a story :)
Sometimes i succeed in drawing this person, most of the time i fail :-). But hey, that's how we learn... :-)

[Epias]

Ow man I like the last guy, so funny.

What are you doing these days dresse?

Keep it up!

[dresse]

thx epias!

and i'm doing not much really...
working on my drawing, studying for getting that paper wich says i can teach art :), saving money for my travelling plans, and doing some freelance webdesign and drawing work...

[El Drey]

Now this has been a while!

Your stuff looks really tight, I especially like those Photoshop-doodled heads. Simple and effective shading!

And the your movies actually rocked my bottom! Congrats on graduating, and good luck with your teaching-education.

Goed om nog eens wat werk te zien van de Genker klas... :)

[dresse]

Hee El Drey!!
It's been a while yes :). I would organize a reunion, but to be honest... i don't care about 60% of my classmates... :).
You are ofcourse the 40% i do care about!! :p. What are you doing these days? still drawing?

annywayzz, progress of today:

Hello there, i liked your sketches and digital painting experiment. Is it intentional that your character have a big heads when trying realistic studies?
Othervice nice animation style

[fuzzybluenuke]

hey hero! haha. dude you gonna post more cartoons? I absolutely love them, and I have learned SOO much from them. :).. so post more cartoons please :)

[dresse]

Hello there, i liked your sketches and digital painting experiment. Is it intentional that your character have a big heads when trying realistic studies?

not intentional, but most of the time i'm doing cartoony stuff with bigger heads... propabely that's influencing my more realistic studies.. i will keep an eye on it!

@fuzzy: working on it! I will be a little less productive this week because i have to work allot, but i'm trying to build up my portfolio, so there will definitely be more work in the near future!

and worked a bit on the horse...

[l0stinth0ughts]

hey dress, nice imagination you got there, and i like all the cartoonish drawings youve posted here. its not bad for a sketchbook, i see that you like doing simple drawings, a little tip for your linework try using different varieties of thicknesses in your lines, that should boost up some proportions on them. also, what you might study is the actions of clothing, some of the drawings the cloths seems to be stiff, but although keep it up and keep posting. ill check in every now and then to see how your progressing. hope this helps :rocker:

[dresse]

been away for a while. moved to another city, renovated my room, been on vacation but now i'm back!

It seems you got alot going on for you man! Great job.

[Madfishmonger]

Your faces have so much expression. I liked your "Date" cartoon, it made me giggle.

[dresse]

It seems you got alot going on for you man! Great job.

Hehe, i wish...
"moved to another city" -> read as: i was out of money so i had to go back to my parents home.
"renovated my room" -> painted my room at my parents home, i used to draw on my walls when i was a kid, and it had never been painted...
"been on vacation" -> went to germany for some downhill mountainbike but it snowed so i had to ski... But it had a good time. I had never ski'd before and the third day i jumped a 360 and was able to ski backwards :mittenbop: yeah, i'm a natural! :)

Your faces have so much expression. I liked your "Date" cartoon, it made me giggle.
thx!

Cool characters dresse, lots of personality.

The only thing that bugs me is the perspective on some of the heads and legs. Really try to use those basic shapes like alot of disney artists use. You can find the same method in andrew loomis his book creative illustration.

[dresse]

thx Epias, i'll read tha book again :)

[Master Chill]

Heya there, I must say, I really like your style :) especially the second one from post #18 ^^ Also saw a partically curious piece you got on the second page in post #40 and 43. I'm working on something similar as yours (still a long way to go 'till it's finished though ^^ ) and have to say that this one is looking exactly the way I wanted to do mine :p Damn you for beating me :D

Anyway, very nice done all and keep 'm coming

Cya

[dresse]

haha :) thx master chill...
The piece with the superhero's is for a klj (like the scouts). Their camp theme is superhero's and i had to draw every leader as a super hero...
sorry i beated you... :) maybe we can make a collaboration and add them all together in one superdrawing :)

Annywayzz... this one is for the boyfriend of my little sister.. he needed a farmerfish :). So i started sketching...

Really fast sketches, maximum 5minutes each drawing...
