Temozarela's sketchbook

[Temozarela]

Hey, Im 17, live in sydney NSW Australia. I want to improve my skills to be a concept artist or similar, I'll try draw heaps and continually upload. But yeah please dont hesitate to be harsh, I'll take in every bit of critisism you throw at me. I'm pretty much all sketches so far and extremely beginner on photoshop.
so basically heres a compliation of a few fast sketches ive done while being bored at school. thanks heaps for stopping at my SB.

You seem to use both linework and shading for the majority of your stuff. This can work well, if you do it right (like you did with the bug head dude) but it might be good practice to stick to one or the other, occasionally. This will teach you how to imply shade with lines and how to imply lines with shade.

The last figure on the last post (tiger stripe guy) would be a perfect example for dropping the shading and sticking to linework.

I don't mean that you should only do one or the other, just change it up from time to time and check out your results.

You might want to start inking stuff, too. You'll be surprised at how much more you have to think about stuff when you are forced to think about every detail.

Keep drawing and posting, it's the only way to improve.

Thanks heaps, ill be sure to variate, see what pics are better for more lines or shading should have some more up tomorrow. i really gotta work on photoshop tho, digital painting strikes me ALOT more. as it would.

Even if your shadows are not entirely right that last sketch in pen has a lot of power to it with the contrast and it's intensity. Good job! Also, frontal views of the male torso are looking a bit flat, what might help is to take a good look at a male torso from the front, the sides of the body are not strait, they do curve a bit with the muscles and the bones like a woman's, just not as pronounced. Also, after you scan in your sketches, try flipping the page back and forth on the horizontal. It will be a lot easier for you to see where your symmetry is off and/or where your sketch looks wrong. You get used to seeing your drawing laying a certain way and so the imperfections are less obvious but when you switch it, like you are looking at something new, you see the flaws.

Hope that helps, keep up the great work!
