Another 10 minute study.

[madhatter106]

I like the guy with the gasmask and the axe in your first post - would love to see you sit down in front of that sketch and really make it sing.

The figure work is good too - you have a good sense of anatomy and the weight of the human figure. The contra pasto (spelling? one leg bearing all the weight) poses are great.

Best of luck in college. :) Keep up the good work...

[Envisor]

madhatter106- Thx, I may do some coloring on that one soon.

30 minutes.

http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q81/Envisor/study14.jpg

[Envisor]

Just started a new sketchbook, recycled paper.
Couple from imagination and some quick studies.

[Med]

yessss nice sketches. now paint them. haha

[Envisor]

Med- Nice of you to stop by, you should start your sketchbook soon, and then we'll see who has the nice sketches.

More sketches. Been following some exercises that Idiomatic stated in his sketchbook. The one with the guns shown here is from this morning when I woke up and drew from reference for about a 1/2 hr. Its really nice for a warmup.

[Jorge Gecov]

I really like the girls you paint, keep posting!

Cheers,

[thesadpencil]

nice stuff man i like your characters. your digis need a little work. i would suggest using some harder brushes on them so they don't get that washed out blurred look you get from using soft brushes. also try pushing your darks/lights a bit more to bring out more contrast in the image. keep at it.

[Nibras]

wow you got some bad ass sketches :P btw you said something about values what excactly did you mean ?? got any examples

[Envisor]

Jorge Gecov- Thx for the boost.
thesadpencil- Thx for the crits, Ive noticed that as well.
lilnebo- Thx. About the values, figure out where you want your main light source to be and on your character, the side the light is shining on will be lighter and the opposite side will be darker. Its easier to see the values if you go ahead and place those darks in first, and then you can place in the lights, then work in some colors and so on and so forth. If you still dont understand, just say so, and Ill try and post some examples soon.

Couple more pages from my sketchbook...

[Alvaradolol]

Hehe, yeah, cool sketches.

[eminkey2003]

I love that guy sitting down with his legs outstretched. It's great to see some 3D-ness showing through because some of your paintings look flat. Take, for example, the girl in the blue underpants-- the 2nd try has way more volume. Niceeee.

[l0stinth0ughts]

good sketches man, id like to see some more with some good shading :rocker:

[VenustusVis]

ohh nice dude I didn't realized you started a new sketchbook. For the longest time I jsut thought you weren't posting your stuff.

[Envisor]

Alvaradolol- Thx
eminkey2003- Thx, Im trying for the more 3D-ness.
[B]lOstinthOughts[B]- Thx, more to come.
[B]VenustusVis[B]- yeah, here lies my new stuff.

Another page of goodies.

[darkchild]

Wow! What happened? I haven't visited your page in ages (sorry) and you've improved by leaps and bounds. Your line is more confident and your characters have better sense of movement and poses! You are truly an inspiration. You've worked hard on your technique and it has paid off immensely. Very nice digitals on page 1, keep working at that tablet. Very nice to see such great improvement. Sorry I haven't visited in so long. Keep on churning these out!

[vanbythevaseline]

Your stuff is okay. You seem to be holding back a lot though in your sketchbook to be honest, and I feel like you could push it further a little more with detail. The same goes for your digital work, but you seem to grasp anatomy well so kudos. You just need to give your subjects more form.

[skorpi]

Nice sketchbook, I like your pencil work

[chras]

There are some really goodlooking pics... keep up the good work

[softocean]

Wow, looks like your rendering ability is coming along nicely. I feel that the color studies are helping you quite a bit.

As a suggestion, try taking your character designs into the realm of color to push your abilities.

My sketchbook is here (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=71080&page=4)

[Nibras]

Hey eric!!
i havm't dropped by in a long time, hope to see morea art out of you because it's looking great right now

[Grafguy]

great work! would love to see more ^^

[Havensk]

Very impressive man. Wow!! These are great, lots of growth. Are there many Illustration hopefuls in the freshman class this year? We gotta stick together y'know?

[Havensk]

Hey man thanks for the view, I don't think we've run into one another yet. I haven't met very many freshman this year. How's your year going? Which class/professor do you think you got the most out of? My year went pretty well, I had a really rough first semester both in and outside of class. But I think its leveled out a bit now. Good to see you guys on here posting, you all have a lot of talent

[Envisor]

darkchild- thx for the visit and for the comments.
van- thx for the crits. I really appreciate it.
skorpi- thx
chras- thx
softocean- been a while, thx.
lilnabo- thx for the reminder that need to post more often, I havent been over to your sketchbook in while as well, I'll do that soon.

It' been a while...
