The woman with the sword is very nice, especially being from imagination! The cloth on her looks great also. The only thing that I see to critique is that, considering the angle of the sword, it seems that more fingers should be shown on the hand holding the sword. Other than that, beautiful work :)

[notorious white moth]

really amazing work--only thing I'd take issue with is that holding a sai like that is a good way to get your fingers cut off

[clanlord]

Thank you! I'll obverse the advices you gave me, now I'm drawing 6 more pictures, similar to that style of painting, I use a lot of graphite, so it's going take a while! Just want to draw more pictures to post them all, I can take a photo just now if you want to see!

[clanlord]

Hi there, I am drawing a few new stuff, and I am very interested in speed painting, so i managed to draw this guy! I'll post more pictures tomorrow when i copy them to the computer! Please write your opinion!

[clanlord]

Hey there, I haven't posted any pictures since while! Just wanted to show some of my new drawings! Feedbacks and citiques are welcomed!

[fantasyartist]

Not bad stuff. Some of your designs have some very nice patterns, but in order to fully express yourself in your drawings you need to get strong basic skills. Get good books on perspective and anatomy and do a lot of drawings from observation. Check the Andrew Loomis books if you have not already. All the basic stuff you need are in his books. Keep drawing!

[clanlord]

Hey there, I did some drawings last week, I'm sorry I can't post more stuff because there's no much time, I am studying in Language School! Now I'm working with photoshop the drawing must be ready in a week! Feedback are welcomed!

Zdravei Maistore!

I love this concept: http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=327536&stc=1&d=1205859385

If you don't mind me trying to do a paintover of it please drop me a note, that's is really a great concept.

In general you need to work a bit more on capturing the shapes of the humans better. Study photos or even better if you can get into a life drawing class. It all gets better with practice, don't give up!

[clanlord]

I really appreciate, it's matter of honor for me, thanks for the comment! But i really don't have much time to draw, if I have a whole day to draw or a week, oh god I think I'll be able to draw more and more! Really I need time! I want to add you FRIEND, I see you know Bulgarian, I want to know you better can we make some contact by skype or other way? Thanks man!

[clanlord]

Hey there, I managed to draw wolverine from X-Men, because I'm really big fan of marvel universe! I used two kinds of tools on photoshop and 2 layers! It took me almost 4 hours, feedbacks and critiques are welcomed!

[Niva.]

Hey bud, I told you I really liked the concept and I worked on it for about 3 hours tonight. Here is the result, not sure I'm done but this should give you some ideas on how to push your images farther:

[clanlord]

I don't know what to say! I'm just amazed! MAN YOU KICK ASS! This rocks, I like it a lot! The sky is perfect! You should work more on the light on the sword! :)

[Rarebit]

Something i noticed in your pencil drawings, get away from smudge shading. Its more difficult at first, but shading with just the point of your pencil gives you alot more control and will help you develop your technique much faster, among other things.

[clanlord]

HELLO FROM BULGARIA! New B&W! I did some finger and arm studies, I really prefer pen drawing, now I'm drawing few new stuff with pen, I want to overdraw them on photoshop and they are really good, I have so many ideas but no time, always studying go to school at 8 to 4:30 come back home, and there is no time for some serious project on photoshop! The last pictures took me no more than 10 minutes, just a fast pencil drawing, hope you like them! Feedbacks are welcomed! :)

[clanlord]

Hello to all concept artists! I want to show you some of my new drawings, I wnt to improve myself in engraving drawings! The pictures are not with very high quality, because the copyer is not one of the best! I will have a big break from school studyes and Im going to proceed very seriously and do some body studyes! I like B&W drawing and i will perfect my experience in drawing! I'll be very happy if you post some critiques and feedbacks!

[clanlord]

Hey there! Nice to see ye guys again! I managed to work on photoshop a little bit these weeks! You know there's school and many other problems to solve :) , so this one took me 1 week! I have worked 1 hour a day! I think it looks fine for a amatior like me! It look more like a fast drawing, but never mind! Feedback are welcomed, i wanna learn more from your advice! Now I am working on another robot, its a little bit more difficult than that one! So comment!

Hi! I draw a monster called Grinder inspirated by the works of Aleksi Briclot (hell of a artist) ! It took me a little more than 3 hours! I have some more works but they are on paper in the desk, soon Ill have a personal copyer and Ill update my scetchbook daily! I hope you like it! (sorry for the english, critiques are welcome) AGH, one question, how can I add thumbnail to my scetchbook, please tell me?

[Evergrey]

the robot: try and make its material a bit more specified - if its shiny metal i think it should have some more highlights and so. that would also help getting the pic more interesting.
last one looks good, liking the contrast that blue does to the black bg and his red body. a little concerned about his jaw that seems a bit too long. my best tip is to imagine the joints and how it all would fit together if it was being closed and opened.

anyways, really good work with the details in most of your posts, and wooow, liking those hand and eye studies! You have pretty cool ideas and a nice sketchbook, so: keep it up!

ps, march 10th is my fav i think, its really cool!

[clanlord]

I really appreciate your advice! I obversed the idea about the mouth of the monster and correct it! I think 5 minutes had been enough to paint over the bottom jaw!

[clanlord]

Here are some drawings! Tomorrow more! I want to say that one girl from my class made me to do this picture with the angel! I think it turned good for a fast draw! Critiques please!

[clanlord]

Now i have a scanner and ill post more! INSPIRED by one of my favourite FPS games S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I decided to draw my own mutants! A little bit funny, hope you like them!

[clanlord]

hi there here are more pictures!

[clanlord]

:rocker: Hi again! I like to draw very much from a little child, this is the another reason to post here! The first is that I really want to prove myself in drawing and I hope to study in art academy in London after Language School that Im studying in now! Im keen on fantasy characters and every day I do some body studies, but they are so much that I felt lazy to scan them all! Now something about the todays characters! I draw the second one at school breaks, because I havent got much time! I do the most of myslef to throw away the stupid books and draw in my free time! Feedbacks are welcomed!

[donalfall]

Hey, thanks for the kind words in my SB. You're showing lots of improvement since you started your book. The most recent portrait from April 8th is quite a lot better than your portraits from March 18th, for instance. You're also obviously quite prolific. There's a lot of stuff cropping up here, so you're more enthusiastic with your scanner than I am with mine. ;)

So, what do you need? Your figures etc are quite elongated, which could be the beginning of a 'style' if you keep pushing it. You'll need to heed several things I get told every so often - your figures need more volume, more roundness in order to seem more 3d. Your tones are good but need to be pushed further.This one (http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=343262&stc=1&d=1207753876) is heading in the right direction.

Your figure drawing is good, but needs to be practised. Also, I assume you're working from photos - I know that's convenient, but you can't beat from practise from life to improve. And you need to copy a few Master drawings. Just google search, or buy some of those cheapy "Dover Art Library" collections of stuff by various masters. They're neat.

I'll keep an eye your direction. You keep an eye on me. ;) Oh, and do the CHOW's and the POW's and so on. They're great.

[clanlord]

donalfall
Hi and thanks for the comment! I am going to hold up to your advices for the volume of the figures and more realistic shadows! But you know I havent got such experience (for 14 year old) as the big artist that you give me for examples in your private message to me! I like pretty much H.R. Giger his works are fantastic! The one and the only thing I need is free time (GOD DAMN)! But on first place is drawing! For the elongated figures I dont know, just a remainder of a old animations that I have been watching from a small child! My mentor is Aleksi I like his works more than anybody! In every picture I go through so many ideas in my head and then I catch a pencil and start to draw! I really give the most of myslelf in each character I make! I really want to lengthen my advance in art and do some serious projects in future! So thanks very much for the support you gave me! And here is some quick body drawings!

[DefiledVisions]

Hey, and thanks for dropping by my sketchbook!

Great stuff here! I don't really know what to say, cause donalfall pretty much said everything ;) I wish I started anatomy study when I was 14.. ( your latest picture ).

My only tip would be, keep drawing! don't stop.. if you see something cool that you really feel like "Oh I wish I could draw like that", then try. Copy it, and learn a thing or two by doing it :) just dont forget to give the original credit, if you upload it somewhere hehe.

Cheers // DV

[Tea Drinker]

those figure studies are real nice to see. Real improvement from the first post to the last one. Keep up the good work :heart:

[clanlord]

Ok here are some more! I want to do some really serious body studyes tonight and Ill post tomorrow! And guys thank you for the advice Ill observe it!

[clanlord]

Hey CA! Im very mad about my internet service, I didn't have internet last week! I draw some stuff and do study on human anatomy! Hope you find some mistakes to tell! I really want to advance more! I haven't got much time for more studies but soon Ill grab the Bames book for Naked Human Body and do some serious studies! Feedback please! (and the soldier is one of my first drawings on tablet, very badly but I found my mistakes)

[clanlord]

Here are some funny monsters!

[clanlord]

Been a while I havent post here! It's some of my drawings again, Every day I watch the big masters of drawing and learn some things from them! Feedbacks are welcomed!

[clanlord]

Hey there to CA! I managed to draw a girl that I saw walking in the street it just took my not more than 30 minutes! That doesn't matter because if I sit one day when I'm free I will do only one thing, DRAW - not to eat, not to drink :) ! And the other two sketches are just fast doodles!

[clanlord]

Here are very bad stuff that Im not very happy with them! Just practising the human body!

[Dannelf]

Hi there!:hatsoff:
Thankyou for stopping by my sketchbook!
It's seen how much time you've put into your pictures, and it's really impressive! :D Your anatomy-studies did good and alot of improvement is shown since you did them! :D Keep it up!

Ps. Love the last picture!

[clanlord]

Thanks for the nice words man! Here are few fast, not very good drawings the most difficult part for me are faces! I've been working on a photoshop for few hours a day! The knight is not finished yet but Ill show you part of it! Hope youll give me advice guys! Thanks for visiting my SB!

[Jason Borne]

Nice work. Keep at it! you're getting better and better. :)

...and thanks for visiting and commenting on my book.

[clanlord]

Hi again CA! I have been drawing this day and did some body pictures! I see it's not perfect at all but I have a lot of time in my life to do studies! Hope you like them!

[clanlord]

Here is another woman drawing!

[Dannelf]

Keep up the anatomy-drawings! you're really improving man! :) This last picture is really impressive! Can't wait to see more!:D

[donalfall]

Thanks for visiting my SB. You're improving quite a bit, and you're still scanning enthusiastically. :) I'll try and give some help....

The woman who is holding a fan a few posts back looks really good. Her back and butt look well studied, but the face just needs to be improved out to the same quality. The guy with the gun beside her looks a bit lumpen, and his arms and hands are a little oversized, but its heading in the right direction too. Examine some pictures of real hardware - guns and helmets - and see how they look. The anatomy studies are looking well, but you have to keep pushing them for improvement if you want realism. You tend to make the heads too small for the rest of them. :)

The winged girl is showing how much you're improving. :) Again, her back, butt and arms are well realised.... but..... if a human had wings, would they look like those? Your wings here kind of stick out from under her armpit, more like gliders than a flier - a flying bird depends on flexing the wing at different points to fly.

Wing structure. (http://www.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/2110938/WingStepTworobertsloan2_Full.jpg)

I always imagine winged humans as having either a seperate limb coming from their back that is a wing, or else having them attached to the arm the whole way down. I guess what I'm saying is ref some wings and decide how it would work if you want the concept to carry through the picture.

You should try a few pics where you keep the outlines light - almost invisible - and let your shading work as the content. Just give your outline work a lighter touch.

It's all good though man, your book is looking really well. Cheers!

[clanlord]

Hey man and thanks for the kind words! Your advice is very important for me, I see that you want to help me, thanks I really appreciate it! This weekend I'll sit and work seriously on what you told me, my biggest problem is solving the problem with the skyline of my figures! So here are some new stuff that are experiments of learning how to draw more specific lines, I really like the dark colors and the B&W art, so Im heading to that direction! One of them is painted with oil paint!

[Dannelf]

Haha! the last picture is really cool! :) always a pleasure peeking on your updates! Keep it up!:D

[clanlord]

These are part of my body studies, I was determined to start with Bames book of anatomy, I think this book is very usefull and many amateur-artists like me should start with it! I did not manage to copy each picture and post here, I tryed to remember each muscle, where it's placed and how it projects, maybe there are plenty of mistakes but I'm a begginer! A almost forgot I changed the angel's wings! I think that way they look more realistic thank for the donalfall advice!

[DefiledVisions]

Hey man! nice body studies! I can see that you're improving, keep up the good work.

[Dan!]

dude your skill jumped a hefty percentage on this page great stuff! I like the shading on that grim gunslinger fellah- cheers

[humanNature6115]

You are very talented, But I want to see more anatomy studies.

DefiledVisions - thanks for the nice words... your work is on a good level too!
DECYPL - thank you... your works are very expressive too! In my opinion I'm not imroving too much... I sometimes get mad about myself just need some time to work out my ideas!

humanNature6115 - I must work harder but there's no time recently and got to study for the final exams in school... but I'll seriously sit that summer and gonna rip my ass of drawings!

Hey guys another thanks for visiting my SB! Here are some crazy characters, I draw them in school breaks but the muscle studies I draw in home! I want to improve my shading and train my abilities in drawing realistic volume with pencil!

[Jamie Romoser]

Good Studies you have a gret imagination keep on drawing man your improving alot.

[localfatheaded]

thanks for the constructive thoughts, I definitely agree. Keep up the drawing its looking really good and keeping drawing from life, it'll help you out a ton. And wow your monster and creatures are pretty rad, you definitely have some good ideas.

[JFierce]

Big improvement like others have already said haha

Some constructive crit real quick
On the guy with the gun it feels as though his torso and upper half of his body is turned towards the right while his legs are aimed more towards the left
His right arm I think has the same problem, upper half not matching the lower half


Keep em coming:)

[clanlord]

Hi CA and thank to you two (localfatheaded, JFierce) and especially the last comment... good eyesight :hugsmile: ! So here are my new drawings for this weekend, I want to say that I'm using only two kind of pencils B2 and HB... I'm not a big master at photoshop and maybe never going to become... but we don't know how the things will proceed after years... I need some serious crits ot these ones, because I really want to improve in drawing with pencil and maybe this summer I'm going to get some oil paints and maybe pastels... Thanks for watching! Forgot to mension that "The Russian" maybe... because in the beginning of this drawing I had decided to draw a STALKER but the things had changed... ok he's holding a standart caliber rifle Dragunov SVT with ten rounds in box magazine... the uniform is my creation :D

[Grafguy]

the last clown looks good, pretty scary :)
try some anatomy studies and life model sessions, ull improve greatlly by doin so

[clanlord]

Little update this week... and not very good in my own opinion, this weekend I'll show more

[Sebastianrenaissance]

eey, i had never seen your work but like it much. its very scary and realistic (in a draw way not the real reality of cource)

Sebastian

[Jamesy]

Nice sketchbook you got here! You're showing lots of improvement already so keep up the studies and draw from life more!! I think it's pretty rad that you're only 13 and have a passion for drawing. If you keep it up, you'll be very good down the road when it really matters. Good luck!

[markey2d]

hey,

your level of detail and your rendering is good, however it is clear you need to work on the very basics of drawing, such shape and form, as alot of your images seemed skewd.

good luck man

[Lou Naylor]

Nice work here. Your ideas are fun to look at and I'm glad I took the time to see see the vast progression from your first post to the current post. Although, I couldn't shake the feeling that your drawings were still a bit 2D and ridgid. I've noticed that you had started giving them a bit more depth around post #48 and onwards.

As far as rendering goes, a prime example of where you could give your pictures a bit more depth woud be in post #38, if you focussed on applying darker areas to the places that need it most (for instance, find where the light source is and make darker the parts that are in shadow) then they would have more of an impact on the viewer by giving more depth. As others have said, 'draw from life' more to get accuracy in your figures.

The clown is quality by the way, seeing pictures like that shows that you're starting to be more fluid with your work.

Good luck dude. Carry on drawing!

[donalfall]

I like that last guy who has 'camoflage' against his background. Pretty sweet. THe way you've been pushing on with you theme is good too, and you're getting steadily better. Keep up the good work!

[Lorienne]

I like how you design your figueres. They all look unique, most of them "dark", but very interesting. In some pictures with a profile of the head you painted the eye too close to the nose.
Keep posting, I will return.

[clanlord]

Hi again CA! I'm very upset recently because I couldn't do what I love, that's is art, yes! The final exams nailed me to the desk, not drawing HEHEHE but studying! I managed to drop some of my recent works, I've got some ideas inspired by metal music :hugsmile: ! Yeah, I won't forget to thank you guys dropping in my modest SB, I definitely obverse your advice! I hope you like my desperate try to draw a portrait, actually it became very funny especially the eyes haha! But a managed do post it too because I want professional advice! Again thanks CA providing me a personal space to show my art and to those who assesed my art! The summer comes so I'll have a spare time to draw... :yum: :sungod:

[Niva.]

Hey Clanlord, there is a definite improvement on these since the first page. Keep hacking at them! I really like the portrait of the guy with the mustache. I think the eyes are a tad too big and the outline for the nose is too sharp BUT it is a big step up for you. Keep it up and thanks for visiting my SB :)

[clanlord]

So here are some works this weekend! I want to thank you guys, you give me inspiration to continue... and also the immortal love to art! Feedbacks and critiques are welcomed... :yayca:

[DefiledVisions]

Hey there Clanlord! :D allways nice to see you in my SB. Nice improvement you got here. Only thing I can think of is the proportions, I think you need to focus a bit more on geting them right. Otherwise keep up the good work!

[clanlord]

DefiledVisions - thank for your comment in my SB! I must definitely pay some attention to the proportions! I want to post more stuff here, and these are this weekends drawings, tomorrow I'll post more!

[Niva.]

Yup yup, good improvement, I like the first one in #63.

[Starr]

yo yo clanlord way to improve! youre figures are really getting better and i like the amount of detail you put in your pieces! keep it up! :sungod:

Hi there CA! I want to show you few of my drawings! I want to thank Marco Djurdjevic, who inspired me! His Demo DVD is great, you must check it out! http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=127079 So I need some critiques, please write!

[clanlord]

Hey guys, today I've managed to sit down and draw one of my characters... I called him Skull... because there's no flesh on his head! Anyway, I did some sneak peaks to show that in zoomed size there aren't complicated details... it looks like very detailed work but there are just stripes and other kinds of lines! I need some critique... I now I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure out what! Please write!

[phoenicorn]

wow this stuff is ammazing cant wait to see more. I will be bookmarking this coz i love the work and would like to see more

[clanlord]

Another work with sneak peaks! I called it Necrofear! I don't know why, but it looks like some kind of spellcaster character! Hope you like it!

[clanlord]

Ok here is one more for today! The death rebel!

[clanlord]

Hi... today I've managed to draw another character called The Avenger! I don't like the pose very much!

[Dannelf]

Hi there Clanlord! :) Nice to see you back on track! And now you're really productive! I like your work alot dude, super!
-but I agree with the poose and 'The Avenger'. His legs pressed togheter like that makes him look abit insecure!
Keep up the good work bro! :D

[clanlord]

Hi there I fixed the drawing! Now it looks more realistic. I'll do some more fixes on the others, I think they need some more shading!

[jabo4]

nice artwork!
keep up the goodwork

[donalfall]

Hey dude. "Death Rebel" "necrofear" and "Skull" are all looking pretty well. "The Avenger" is still all messed up. I was trying to do a paintover for you but I can't get Photoshop to run on my Pc at the moment. :( It's old, like me. ;)

His head is a little far to the right on his shoulders, and his left arm is dropped a little too low. His legs are out of proportion and look really odd swung to the side like that. If his mask/bandanna thing is to stay on his face, it needs to be pulled tight - so it should follow the same contour of the face on both sides. Small problems, but there's a few of them.

It's weird, tho, cos there's problems with the other guys as well - straight off, "Death Rebel" has really small feet - but on the others they look like style choices, but on the Avenger they just look wrong. Give the character a whole new attempt, I'ld say. It's all good though. I'll be in touch more, I have to buy a new computer first.

[clanlord]

dannelf - thanks man, the ideas of costumes are good but the other things are just messed up, like donalfall said, thanks anyway!
jabo4 - thanks man and keep your work too :)
donalfall - EAGLE SIGHT man! I'll try to follow your advice and I'll strictly watch for my proportions. I look my hero poses now and I realize that I've been doing this wrong all the time, I am doing my work very fast and do not pay attention to the basics... thanks for the comment, it was very helpful!
I've been reading recently a book called Diablo #3: The Moon Of The Spider from R.A.Knaak (the book is very interesting and the experience during the reading was just amazing) , anyway I've decided to draw a concept of a character from that book. He is a necromancer called Karidbus! Hope you like the other "Spawn" concept! Feedbacks are welcomed!

[Untouched24]

Hey man great stuff. I like your latest characters. I have to agree with Donalfall, The Avenger looks a bit weird. You're much more skilled than I am so take my critique with a grain of salt.

I think that like Donalfall said his left arm is a bit too low, and his legs are a bit out of proportion. I think what makes it look the most odd to me in the pose. It seems a bit unnatural but not a cool contorted/undead way. It doesn't seem like a practical pose to take, especially an aggressive one.

That is just what I think, I'm still learning and more or less beginning so I could be wrong. But overall those characters and your SB are looking really nice.

[clanlord]

Untouched24-thanks for the compliment, but I'm not so good... still learning, your SB is pretty interesting too... I'll post comment!
Hey there, a little update! My scanner makes me nervous!

[clanlord]

Hi CA here are some pencil drawings. Very little update but now I'm working on some digital works, soon I'll post more. Feedbacks are welcome!

[Niva.]

Wow dude, there's a definite improvement in your work. The proportions are getting much better and I like how you're bringing texture into your work. Keep working on the anatomy and you'll be at the next level very soon. Keep up!!!

[clanlord]

n1va - thanks man I'll stick more on the anatomy, but the positions are my main problems... anyway I'm not here for the level I want to improve myself in conceptart and learn from the masters... I really like to work like a concept artist in the future!

So, here is a digital paintover of my "Spawn" concept!

[localfatheaded]

good work, looking really good. Dont know if you are a fan of James hawkins, but you should checkout http://www.hawkprey.com I think you would really like it. He is a concept artist and can draw like hell, he can do monsters, robots, guns, girls, buildings,vehicles...anything. I think what Im trying to point out is that becoming a great concept artist starts with the foundations, learn the anatomy, and the lighting, and that makes your monsters and concepts that much better. Also another thing you might want to checkout is http://www.posemaniacs.com/pose/thirtysecond.html just doing some quick thumbnail sketches of the human body really helps loosen up the drawing hand, and also helps with learning the human body. You go through a bunch of paper, but it's quite helpful, well it has helped me out a bunch. Your drawings are looking great, keep up the hard work and it will really payoff.
sketch ya later!

[localfatheaded]

oh and by the way I like that last painting of yours, the lighting is really cool.

[clanlord]

Thanks man! I really appreciate what you've said! I'm training my abilities now on anatomy, I'll post full answer soon this day!

[Dannelf]

Sweet colouring buddy! :) Keep this up!

[SanXavier]

I like your style and the unique characters you've created.

[clanlord]

Three characters of mine and a few studies from Borne Hogarth Dynamic Anatomy Book, the book is very useful for me and I will keep studying the body anatomy, but I think it's useless to post all my body drawings here! Hm the other is a very quick sketch of "The Punisher"! It didn't turn very good especially the AR in his left arm! Feedback are always welcome :)

[clanlord]

Little update!

[malpanka]

very nice anatomy, some neat concept (i like this one http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=400887&stc=1&d=1214658378 most)
you sometimes get lost when it comes to legs and your faces are all the same. i'd suggest studying different faces and expressions from reference. try drawing someone with less protruding cheekbones, with big nose, with fat chin, with baggy eyes. it's lots of fun and will make your art much more interesting

[r2d2]

Thanks, for your comment on my work.
Also you have a creativity and I think you can improve your drawing skill to be a professional :steph: .

[Snitchcat]

Heya.

Nice collection. You can really see the improvements from the first post to this latest one.

The overall thing I've noticed, however, is the perspective with respect to anatomical proportions. They're still off; would suggest perspective guidelines / boxes to help with that.

Love the details.

[clanlord]

localfatheaded- thanks for the useful comment, but from my first visit here I'm very interested in each of the artist among the best... HawkPrey is hell of an artist, his designs are really great but he's not my style! The thing is, I'm not so interested in mech things and robots and space ships flying in some freaky enviro, I want to develop my skills to the maximum by learning the human anatomy every day, every muscle position in certain pose and that's make me happy, drawing the human body! So that way when I finish a drawing it makes me rewarded, every god damn picture I draw I give the most of myself and every time I learn more... thats the catch, not to stop thinking about this, about your work! Otherwise thanks for the useful comment!
Dannelf- thanks for the kind words, but it's fast done work! The thing is I don't like shitty tablets and using photoshop and other kinds of mech! And the other thing is that I'm not really ready for such thing like tablets, I'm training my skills now and learning! I want to obverse the basics and the most important things of Illustration and character designs and so...
SanXavier - thanks too man, you SB is cool too!
malpanka - the anatomy yeah, thanks! But the faces, I think this is one of my first try to develop my skills drawing the same face, it's important too but in future I'll try to obverse your tip! Thanks :)
r2d2 - Pro.?!?!?! It's a long way man, I'm only 15 now and in this craft I'm an ant for the masters like M.Djurdjevic, A.Briclot, NoxIZMad... (my favourites)...
Snitchcat- thanks for the advice, now I'm using paper with some cubes or something like that, shitty work now but I want to mamorize and train my abilities by doing works on that kind of paper...

So here are two Marvel characters from yesterday!

[clanlord]

Two more for today. Moon Knight and Venom! Shading Venom took me some time but I've finished both of the sketches for less than 2 hours! Feedbacks are always welcome! :lounge:

[DefiledVisions]

HI there Clanlord! Nice to see your progress! it's looking great so far. You've improved :)

I'd like to see some variation in the composition. Most of your pictures show the chracter from front, and there's nothing wrong with that at all. But to add some variation, try some different perspectives from below and above etc. or add movement to them!
I've started to work a bit with that and it's fun and and something new :D

cheers!

[clanlord]

Hehe... ok you've gave me a great idea about the new heroes I'm about to draw for tomorrow! For now here are some colored stuff. I've brang back some memories from the kindergarden when we're colouring books with interesting stories using color fibre tip pens.

[Eric Young]

You have improved a lot through out your sketchbook. I really like the super heros from your last post, they all look good. Keep up with the anatomy sketchs. I would also suggest going more of your own original characters, although there is nothing wrong with drawing characters that already exist. I think you could improve your own design skills by inventing some original characters.

[clanlord]

The Original [E] - Thank you man! Now I'm keen on MARVEL characters! So here are another 3 characters The Riddle, Mr Two-Faced and carnage! (The Riddle's wallpeper turned a little bit funny but the marker was permanent)! And for last I am a big fan of WW2 and the historic events in those ages... so here are few of the most used hand-arms of WW2 drew by heart!

[jedininjaman]

Nice job on the guns and in you pencil drawings do not over-render your subject also you would greatly benefit from quality muscle anatomy study Never make up your own muscle because it seems like it should be there but keep it up and stop by sometime :)

[clanlord]

Hi guys! It's been a while I've not posted here, here are a couple of character cuts! The sheet of paper is very big and the scanner is A4 format so I couldn't take a complete picture of a character! I hope some friend of mine could borrow me a camera! Soon I'll post the complete characters in "It's Finally finished" section!

[clanlord]

Here is a concept design for a web page I made for a group project, funny how the things are getting more serious and more!

[clanlord]

Hi CA! Always wondering what is happening here! Some of you are really keeping me on track, very good works recently on this section. Honestly I feel like shit in front of you guys. Sorry about the lack of posts but that's life, on that age we're changing. Different things had happened, I was happy with some of them with others not so much. More labour more experience :D! Here are few characters hope you like them, I post them in the "ITS FINALLY FINISHED" section, I'm looking for some serious critiques.

P.S. - I've showed you on the previous post an idea for web page but it's still in progress!

[Dan!]

you have a nack for details,-- some attention to lighting and anatomy would do a bang-up job on some of these designs.

[Esgarblackpoxs]

You have some great stuff here. My favorite is probably your possesed zombie aztec thing, heh.

[clanlord]

DECYPL - First, thanks for the comment! Wah the quality of the camera wasn't good enough... and then I mixed all the things by changing the contrast... s*it!

Esgarblackpoxs - Thanks man!


So CA here are some other stuff I've done recently! I'm pretty mad those days, there's not enough time to gather and remix my thoughts in the head! Hope you like them...

[donalfall]

Some great concepts here, mate. DECYPL is right though, you have to keep working on your anatomy. It's terrible for you that almost everything will be just right and then a head or arm or something will be a little too big and just throw things off.

Loving the details and the equipment, as well as all the weaponry and armour, the poses etc. They really seem intense and nutty looking. They remind me of John Blanche or Ian Miller or some of those other old school Games Workshop style concepts. Spiky... ;) Keep on working.

[localfatheaded]

wow man looking awesome, insane detail, you're making great progress, just keep working it, you really got some special going on here, just keep pushing yourself. see ya later!

[Niva.]

Hey brato!

You're improving with each post, I really like the high contrast you're bringing these images up to. Keep working on the anatomy, your knowledge is getting so much better, just looking to the first page and wow!

One last thing, never EVER use that paper with the grid to draw on! That's just a shame and makes me cringe :) Your art deserves better!

[clanlord]

Cheers mates!

First I wanna thank to all of you! Encouraging comments! But I'm not as good as you are writing... there are many more major issues with the human anatomy and the poses... In these I'm showing some more rendering skills (despite of the image quality) than anatomy and structure... Recently I'm not very productive... some sketches and scrawls in the brake times in school... I am looking for some inspiration... something like endless source of fancy stuff, things like that, many of the artists here gather inspiration from other CA members, which is good but on the other hand this react much more than they think ... searching for my own style and inspiration awe from artists here is now my main objective! I'll try to get myself on track this weekend... Again cheers chaps!

G

[clanlord]

Hi there! Here are two for today... Human anatomy of upper parts, I tried to imagine where each muscle fits and a member of Indian Tribe... There are both not finished yet but I'll try to finish them! Cheers mates! Again I'm searching for some serious comments and crits...

[Untouched24]

Hey man. I like a lot of your ideas. Some of those guys look pretty cool with that sort of human/mechanical look a lot of them have.

I've noticed one thing that stands out that bothers me. I think in your last piece (the native american guy) as well as some others, he looks awkward and a bit off, and I believe its because of his pose. First off his left arm (the one on our right) looks like it's in a very unnatural position. Put your fist on your hip, and then move your elbow out as much foward as you can. You can feel your shoulder strech, and that's what it looks like hes doing to me. Second, his legs seem to be in an odd sort of lunging motion, which could work somehow I suppose, but again it looks unnatural to me.

I suggest you think about your characters pose more. Why would they pose this way? Are the attacking? Relaxed? Running forward? etc. I don't think most humans would naturally take odd poses like that. Some of your poses do look cool, and I believe it's because they're more realistic. (post 106 has some good ones, and the 4th one down in post 101 for example). Even though the guy in 101 has an odd pose, it still looks natural, like hes tensing from pain, or something of that sort. I think unnatural poses can look cool in a twisted/contorted sort of way, but those that I spoke of don't seem to have that intention. (Edit: the 5th drawing in post 101 has the same elbow thing, and I noticed one other drawing where they had their elbow out and their forearm pointing down, gives the same off effect to me.)

Anyway, sorry for the long post. I should probably go practice myself now.

[vanbythevaseline]

I like your attention to detail and your ideas, but, seriously kid, you need to draw from LIFE. Your drawings would improve if you not only studied anatomy, like I'm noticing with the muscle study, which is a good start, but you need to start drawing people everywhere you go. Draw people from magazines, draw people on public transportation, draw people sitting, studying, reading, watching, etc. Just remember when it comes to anatomy, you don't have to remember EVERY single part, because no one is going to hire you if you remember the Cervical Vertebrae or the Humerus. But you have to know the way it looks, the way it bends on the body.

And I agree with n1va. That grid paper is NOT drawing paper. You might be using it for alignment but you should be using a real sketchbook. Something like Moleskin or Strathmore.

[Nibras]

Man your stuff is improving
Your character poses are great, dynamic
The detail in the drawings is very nice
I like how much thought is put behind them
Watch out for proportions and keep it up!

[clanlord]

You're damn right guys damn right... and im wrong in many attitudes! Really my biggest problem is that I hate drawing from reference... I try to memorize the positions in my mind but it looks like it's not working... got to keep pushing those poses... and the paper... waa it's very uncomfortable... must try some other kind of paper! And practice more on anatomy... I'm presuming on the character designs more than anatomy... big mistake... maybe this is one of the last posts here of mine... I want to practice more... I need to do this... uploading images here and commenting in SB is taking so much time... instead of using this to improve... I want to thank you guys, for all of your counsels and wish you luck and keep going... there's always have to be hard work to improve not only in drawing, but in everything and of course desire!

George

[DefiledVisions]

Best of luck to you man! kicker sketchbook, but the people here are right - life will do you good :) your keen eye on detail is superb, and the thing that will improve you now is going back to the foundations. It doesn't matter how much you detail, if the piece is faulty from the beginning it won't help.

keep kicking!

[Niva.]

Bat Goshe, ne im se vruzvai ako zvu4at kato lainari, opitvat se da kazjat pravilno no na4ina po koito go kazvat poniakoga ne izliza dobre.

The last one is really good, esp the rendering. Anatomy issues are with the right elbow and the visible foot. Also the right shoulder/bicep tie-in area is not looking right. However, it's probably your best drawing in this book so far. Keep improving and if you can try to draw from life/references more.

[donalfall]

And Happy Christmas to you and yours my friend. Your stuff keeps getting better. There's nothing wrong with drawing from the mind, and your stuff is improving regardless. Just keep bearing the crits in mind and keep trying to see the problems and improve on them. I won't be the teacher now either though - it's the wrong time of year. Relax and sketch away!

[clanlord]

Hi there! Here's a sketch of a post-apocaliptic character called Timer... donal pretty fast answer, thank you anyway have a good time

[TheGnoll]

looks like someone's been looking at a lot of degenesis/djudjevs stuff hehe no big deal really.

but its good practice with anatomy and rendering so keep at it ^^
you've improved a lot, and you've been working hard, kudos!

ciao!

[Dan!]

you're improving exponentially- very good sir.

[DefiledVisions]

Hey man! thanks for dropping by!

Yea school sucks bigtime.. They don't teach me anything.. THANK GOD for coneptart haha.. Everything I've learnt is with help from here.. My art teachers don't really know what they'r doing.

Have a great christmas man!

[clanlord]

Sorry, sorry, sorry for the lack of updates! I think there's no need of foolish excuses... so here are some studies of the human body... I'm still training my eye to see and measure the right proportions... on now on I'll update every day, feel free to comment!

George

[clanlord]

pshiu... took a while choosing a category, genre and other things... what is the purpose anyway?

[donalfall]

Awesome. That is such great anatomy work. Normally, you'll have one detail at the wrong size or whatever, but on first brush these guys all look spot on. Great! Now just whack on all that armour and spikiness that you normally like doing and you're set. :P

[clanlord]

Hi again guys!

Donalfall - thanks man! I appriciate your comment... i think I will draw some more poses and put some ideas on the character designs on them! These are studies from posemaniacs, recently found out about this site... so I want to get rid of the stupid PC games which overcome my mind all the time...hhhh I hate that, must stop playing stupid games! However here is another fast study... i am not in my element these months, gotta go drawing again...

[Untouched24]

Hey, nice to see some figure studies up here. Also, the last concept drawing you did looks much better to me in terms of a more realistic/natural pose than the ones before that I mentioned I thought looked a bit off. Keep up the figure studies and I'm sure it'll get even better. But yeah, wanted to say good job because that last one looked noticeably better.

[clanlord]

Untouched24 - thank you very much man! Actually the pose is completely from my mind... i tried to imagine how the things are working... that took me not more than 5 hours, except the hours I've been bleating...
http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo112/georgearnaudov/timer.jpg


Another study... damn I need to go drawing again... and stop posting one study each time! Gottta get my ass working...

[clanlord]

ANother!!

[clanlord]

It's good to have time!

[clanlord]

I must stop doing them fast!

[Swordhand]

Wow! Awesome improvement! From page 1-5 your skills have practically leaped forward with each post. I am particularly liking these two: #1 (http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=487483&stc=1&d=1223571327) and #2 (http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo112/georgearnaudov/timer.jpg)
Keep up the great work!

[clanlord]

Whoaaa man I like you liked them! Thanks!

[clanlord]

One spidey for today! Soon I will post more studies from posemaniacs!

[clanlord]

Here is a portrait of a girl from my class, she made me do it for her! I am not very satisfied with the scan and not very sure about the likeness... i must do more portraits in the future...

[clanlord]

Same girl other portrait!

[clanlord]

Juggernaut re-design!

[Swordhand]

No problem! Spidey looks a bit off right now, particularly in the arms and legs. You might want to take a look into that. The Jugger design is cool though.

[clanlord]

Swordhand - thanks man i appreciate your attention on my figures i try to study more!

here a plane! gashh i hate those categories , sub-categories COPYRIGHTS..... holy crap!

[Pseudocognition]

Good looking work in here. I'd recommend trying some gestures too, posemaniacs is good for that, to loosen up your lines and streamline your process. The problem I'm seeing is that a lot of your well thought out, really nice costume detailing is getting lost in very heavy, occasionally misplaced lines. There are so many dark areas in your pencil drawings that the focus is lost. This (http://conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=2056780&postcount=119) character is the most successful because you limited the values according to materials and textures.

well, at least that's my terribly unprofessional opinion ^_^;

[Untouched24]

Hello again. I just wanted to say too make sure to keep an eye out for correct proportions. Spiderman's torso is a bit long, and his legs are quite a bit too small for the rest of his body.
Also, the Juggernaut's arms are somewhat long, unless you intended it that way. Just my opinion...something I noticed. Anyway, good stuff, keep at it.

[Swordhand]

Would you mind if I did a paintover? I really like some of these.

[clanlord]

Pseudocognition - I always appreciate the crits man! The lines are too heavy you are right abot the lost of many details and the whole feeling of the character... bacause the character concept is not about how brutal your character looks and how much effects you had used in photoshop after the scan... it is about how you are going to show his\her personality the aim they are heading for! Thanks for the comment I appreciate it a lot take care...

Untouched24 - thanks man, but... but how do you make this? How are you able to give such crits... man you are absolutely right! Keep to your art man... there is a long way ahead for each of us ... so im looking forward to see some serious studies from you too... take care I'll be watching you!

Swordhand - yeas you caan!

here a quick *WIP* i dunno what that means *WIP* but i noticed you guys from here (CA) call drawings which are fast painted like that! I would't have called this one WIP because it took me more than 2 hours!

Thank you guys again I hope you are doing everything well and take care!

[clanlord]

Here are some old crappy sketches!

[Swordhand]

Thank you! That ship you did is a huge improvement from the the last one, great job. 'WIP' mean Work In Progress ie. unfinished work. Those sketch guns are really great too.

[Kageko]

nice sketchbook, youve improved alot! keep at it!

Your new studies show marked improvement. Great stuff.

[res01ve]

I don't know what happened between page 4 and 5 but your figure work made a real nice movement.
Sweet progress. I'd like to see the same attention put on the portrait work.
I dig the creative designs.

[clanlord]

Swordhand - silly me! thanks for the compliment!

Kageko - thank you very much!

Meissner - whoa thanks!

res01ve - thank you! But there are really some kind of a stiffness in my figures my hand is not trained much!

here are a few studies... the only thing which keeps me is not the bombastic comments here... i do not like them, i like crits because they help me improve... but the only thing i will stick at is to draw! More drawing and observation then comes more experience...

[clanlord]

Some stidues! Looks like this is going to be the page of studies, these are simple structure and proportion stidues just to train my eye and arm to catch the right things on the body!

[clanlord]

Hello CA again! I am starting to update my SB more often... here is a character for today. He is from demolition squad i called him Buzz! It was a quick sketch, hope you like him guys! All the best...

[clanlord]

Here are a few wips of spaceships! I'll try to paint them soon! Unfortunatelly I don't have time to draw more... thanks for the attention!

Thank you for the comment. Nice to see some finnished work, gotta do more of them myself. Looks pretty Djurdjevic-inspired but hell, who ain't. This (http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo112/georgearnaudov/timer.jpg) one is cool, like how he gives the finger! Now, off to do more studies and drawings I hope

[clanlord]

Nekromisantrop - thanks man! i am happy that you liked this one, yea post-apocaliptic character... i need to buy some of these big sheets of paper and do more like this!

HEre are a few studies and a new design from X-Men! Guys I really need some crits... but recently I am not very active, should do more studies but there is not much time and... stupid excuses! GOTTA GOOO take care! :sungod:

[clanlord]

Neeed crits guys! Am I doing these good?!?!?!

Here are two...

[clanlord]

Studies! My hand of course! :rocker:

[eparts]

hey thanks for dropping by my SB :)
really nice characters and anatomy studies around here! Your pencils are accurate ;) i would like to see more work on objects and renderings like your spaceships etc. Do more stills studying light and material. Positioning a character in a fully defined environment would also be a treat :)

keep up the nice drawing!

[brentos8]

Love those hand studies man, interesting for you to use the arows to show motion. It is amazing to see how much improvement youve shown in such a short amount of time. I especailly like your charachter designs and mechanical stuff, the only thing is I ould love to see some of that stuff painted! Also, aome more anatomy studies could never hurt, although your figures have shown much improvement. Stop by my sketchbook sometime.

Huge difference from page 1 to 6 in your line quality, keep up the great work.



http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=148322

[sourgasm]

he's right, the difference between page 1 and page 6 is pretty damn impressive, especially considering the relatively short amount of time between them.

gogogogo

[Niva.]

Brato, s vseki post napredva6, davai vse taka!

Want to point your attention to THIS ONE (http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=573593&stc=1&d=1232824180). I think you can fix the entire piece by moving the neckline back and up towards his ear a bit. Right now he just doesn't look right. Also the forehead to nose outline can perhaps be improved but as it is I'm not sure it's wrong.

I don't know if you're flipping your work yet. All of it is pencils, so after you scan it import it into Photoshop or GIMP (whatever program you use) and flip horizontal. It's very easy to see your mistakes this way.

Another thing which helps is to carry a mirror and to look at your work through the mirror. Also flipping the page and looking at it from behind against a bright light source works the same.

Otherwise outstanding! I especially like the studies in #161 which is your last post. That's better than I've ever done! Keep pushing!

[Swordhand]

Once again great work! Big thumbs-up on improvement

[clanlord]

n1va - Hello there mate! I want to thank you for your helping tips for the trick: flipping the paper or after scanning to flip it horizontally, and to see from the back the paper when it's pointed to a light... i don't know how it's working but at first glance you are suprised... at first when I found about it that looked to me very strange, out of proportion and stiff (the drawing)! Anyway I am always looking at your SB.

Swordhand - thank you! Keep pushing your skills too :steph:

And yeah here are some lazy, very few and unfinished... the image category is burning me out!

[clanlord]

Here is a quick character sketch up! Hope you like it, more to come noww go drawingg!!! :ilaekae:

nice pencil skethces!!! the hands are little bit off though ...
I'd suggest to continue with drawning live figures, hands, objects etc...

Katzenminze - hahaaa man thank you!

Verehin - your works are cool too! I am looking at your SB you are improving!

Nick-Toney - thanks!

Rushlord - yes and I want to be 15 forever just to have the time for all interesting things in life!

Fumble - yeah I don't know how that happened but it is a fact, and not a big one! I must do the things more serious and more often and I will do them I promise!

Sorry for the lack of updates! And again thank you all it is a great pleasure to me seeing comments from you, but it would be better if you crit more! All the best this weekend and god bless all of you!

Wow! I like the one of your character :) You have a very good understanding of the human anatomy, all I can say is practise, practise,practise! :)


Keep up the great sketches.

[Nibras]

SIck improvments!
Looks really really sweet
Your lines gonne up a hell lot and so did your anatomy
Alot of marko influence you might wanna go for your own style now
but keep at it

[clanlord]

Thank you everyone! You do not know what pleasure is to me! I will go for my style... now I am searching for it :) One character different from Marko's style: I called him SmokeJack

[clanlord]

One more! I mixed some styles from the late middle-ages and the crusader times... and the box with the radiation sign on his belt gives a hint that he lives in apocaliptic times! Pretty much mixed up but I love to put some extra things like pockets, armour plates, guns put in his belt and ammonition pockets.

Now to tell something for me... sorry for the lack of updates recently... I am very busy with studying, i started playing drums and there isn't pretty much time for everything! I am waiting the summer with a great expectance! Thanks for the encouragement again guys, waiting comments from you :) - g

[Dannelf]

Hey dude!
you've really improved a bunch since the last time i stopped by. Better anatomy, and the characters are doing more dynamic pooses and the details are even better!
I hope you keep on in the same way!

I'm whatching you! ;)

Dan

[Nettle_Mountain]

you are getting better, i like the use of strong black value and details on characters!

definitely post more

[Farvus]

Nice stuff.
Just keep looking for new influences. Otherwise it will be really hard to free yourself from Degenesis / Marko Djurdjevic look and you'll loose independence as an artist. I believe this is much more important thing than cool characters.

Cheers.

[Giorge]

interesting stuff , but it looks that you need more anatomy study , take out some of your recent works and see whats wrong with the anatomy , then do some studies on those parts , if you cant find any , go to a friend to poit them out :), cheers

[Rushlord]

Damn the character in post 188 is just incredible. You are impressive. It reminds me of DanielC from the quality of the lines. Good work

[Not_Deadman]

Very nice stuff! It upsets me how much you've improved in less than a year and you're only 15. May I ask what references you used for the poses on page 5 (the ones with you drawing their arms and legs in different positions) They look really nice, especially the lines.

As a critique, one thing that stood out to me was the placement of your women's lips in 3/4 view. They could look better in my opinion.
Other than more anatomy studies and gestural practice, I think youre stuff is solid and you have a bright future in art. You make me feel so old!

BTW, what books have you used?

[DefiledVisions]

Improving alot here! It's time for you to push it to the next level and start adding some background elements too! ;)
Just by adding a groundline and maybe some rocks and different items, grass.. old coke cans, I dunno, will give it much more life I think!
keep it up! your anatomy is rocksolid!

[clanlord]

Dannelf - thank you very much!

Nettle_Mountain - thank you too!

Farvus
Thank you for the advice it is very useful and I will try and keep looking for my style...thank you

Giorge, Rushlord, Not_Deadman, DefiledVisions - thank you, all of you! And keep inpiring other people by making art of your own :)

So here are a bunch of new ones, there has been a period of standstill but from now on I will definitely try to post more often...

[clanlord]

unfinished, unfortunately

[Cranberry]

Wow, that's all I can say... And you are how old? 15? :S

Keep it up, you'll be great.

Well you sure have imagination hehe. something I don't have. Do you ever do any life drawings? Stills or models or whatever. If not, try it out. Or well I did seee your Michelangelo-thingie. The horsie is looking a bit odd, check out some animal anatomy, pretty interesting shapes and stuff. Smokejack is pretty damn sweet though!

[clanlord]

Konstruktion - Thank you man! You do not have an idea how much I appreciate your comment. Like there is still someone taking a peek at this old SB :)

Cranberry - Thank you very much man. You should keep drawing more often and do everything to be the best.

Wolverine ot A4 with mech-pencil

[clanlord]

Hello again!

Princess Of Magnus

I want to present you one of my first pencil drawings with an environment! It took me a couple of days because the format is not standart A4, no it is bigger than that. It wasn't so difficult actually to scan it :)... and uhh no reference used... I am not too shure for the horse

The actual idea came from one of my friends. She has a great tallent for writing and after she gave me one of her stories (sorry I do not remember the name) I read it immediately and the knight who slightly looks like Naz-Gull attracted my attention. He is chasing the defenceless princess through a series of obstacles in the forest, she finally falls down while the rider stops his horse (which hasn't got any skin) and rise his sword in the air, then she puts her arm above her head and prays for mercy.

Actually after I read this I felt like "... I am gonna draw this... and it will be cool..." And this is the result, hope you will give me some crits\helping tips... for a moment I felt like I am never gonna finish this peace :wtf:

To be honest i made some adjustments and changes on that peace.

Soon I will post more :hugsmile: TAKE CARE ARTISTS!

Hello!
A new post, hope you like these!

[CHV166]

Good Stuff keep it up^^

[clanlord]

Again... Nice to see a new comment

CHV166 - thank you my friend!

Here is a variant of Venom bonded with Mac Gargan (the Scorpion from the Spider-Man animated series). Hope you will like it and give some crits, I AM WAITING! Hope you will keep drawing too guys, and take care! :oneye:

[clanlord]

Hello! This is a better variant... adjusted with PHOTOSHOP! It is not cheating, isn't it? :!::?::?::?::?::?:

[paran0id]

Of course its cheatin! You cheating bastard!

I like how you shade muscles. The feet in the last one dont work well though.

[Rushlord]

It's scary how good you've become in such a short time. I can't imagine where you will be in 5 years or so. Outstanding. And you are still 15?

[Alexandr Pascenko]

i really like the last one :) ... expect of the "feet?" ...

[Desero]

Good God man! Look at those details! Your work is so emotive call it feeling, pathos, metaconsciousness, what ever, you got it. Keep working but don't forget to breathe- it looks like you're pursuing this at full burn man. I'm impressed.

[Jordan85]

Lookin back at the first page then this, the improvement is evident.

Keep drawing

[clanlord]

paran0id - Ha! You catch it! The feet really aren't those I wanted to make. They do not look like they are in the right place. Anyway thank you vary much. It will be a great plesure to see more comments when you come back and see my drawings.

Rushlord - haha thank you man! Now I am 16 :) my birthday is on 8-th of April. I've achieved this result only with eye observation. I do not use books but soon I must redraw many books and I will do it. The books in my list are these - Burne Hogarth (all of them), Bames (human, animal anatomy), Malestrom, Victor Perard, George Brigman, Andrew Loomis, Glen Fabry and maybe if Marko Djurdjevic writes a book about drawing - hhh I WILL BE LIKE :anime: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

Alexandr Pascenko - Master itself. :asskisser: Your art rouse a great inspiration in me everytime I look your SB. Thank you for the comment. I will be looking forward to see more from you :)

Desero - haha thank you so much! It is that because I am doing my art everytime when I am inspired.

Jordan85 - Thank you to you too. Keep drawing my friend and your development will be evident too :)

Hello CA! I've decided to do something like a series of drawings of few Marvel heroes which maybe all of you like. These are the so called symbiotes. Super villains like Venom, Carnage, Antivenom, Toxin, Riot, Scream and many others.

And lets raise the question. Which is better for an artist - to follow the path of eye observation or just to redraw all the available books or draw from life. Shh I prefer the fourth - draw from everywhere but stay original. :)

Hope you will like these. Crits are always welcomed :) Thank you for watching dear guest!

[clanlord]

bad scan!

[manni]

but nice image!
do you use references for your images? how did you lern anatomy so well?
and nice hands too, although the thumbs of the middle hands do seem a bit small or twisted

[donalfall]

Hahahaha, that last one is great! It's such a clanlord take on the multi-limbed figure. I love it!

[wild thing]

wow such progress from the first page and your current stuff :) great work

[Leonor]

Your line quality, your rendering, how you shade, knowledge of anatomy... All that improved. You still need to take care with your proportions, as distortion that doesn't seem at all intended still shows. Double check before you move on to detail. If you're not getting life classes yet, do that. Study perspective too.

You always had had an excellent imagination from the start. I like all the intricate details and costumes you come up with for your characters. They are very scary, yet one can't stop looking. If you never stop, you are going to kick some serious ass in ten years.

I'm curious if you are going to participate in the newborn competition?

[clanlord]

manni - Thank you very much! I appreciate your comment. Actually, no. I do not use reference. The thumbs are really unusual and out of real. Thank you for the crit :) I appreciate it a lot. I hope to see more comments from you.

donalfall - Thank you Donal. Keep drawing my pencil brother :) :lifedrawing:

wild thing - Thank you very much my friend!

Leonor - I hope to see some really critique comments from you. I appreciate a lot that you wrote in my SB. I wish you a lot of health and take care.

I want to say that this is a kind of fan art. I don't know how to explain it. In the www.massiveblack.com portfolio CONCEPT ART section, Marko Djurdjevic have a few robots of this kind. I want to say that I am not stealing the idea it is only a fan art. I called it The Machine. Again, critiques are always welcome. :) Thank you for looking.

http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo112/georgearnaudov/the-machine.jpg

[Rushlord]

Oh my god insane amount of details. I'm so amazed by your talent man. Keep it up.

[clanlord]

Rushlord - haha thank you for the compliments. Take care my friend :yayca: I am very curious, are you going to participate in the Newborn competition? It would be nice to exchange some ideas :) Looking forward to see a reply from you.


Here is another graphic. I wanted to touch upon some religious theme this time. I chose to draw the crucifix of the Messiah. Before long time I've been inspired by the film called The Passion Of The Christ by Mel Gibson. The film had a very big impression on me and I decided to contest in Newborn with something like this. But after I drew the picture I relized that something reliligous won't be the best variant. Maybe people want something which do not divide society into groups or something with background. And I gave up this idea. But I have many other ideas that I may use for the contest.

To get the thing into end thank you for looking and crits are always welcome (now more than before). Take care my bothers in pencil :)


The Born Of The Passion

http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo112/georgearnaudov/the-passion.jpg

[Rushlord]

Totally amazing. Did you use any reference for this one?

[clanlord]

Halloo! This post will include only old works but with little changes.

Rushlord - No. I didn't use reference for Christ. Everything is from my own mind. Anyway thanks for asking. :)

This is a sneak-peak on the face of Christ.

[vayne108]

Great improvement shown in your 8 pages of sketchbook goodness!!!!!!

[Rushlord]

Hey man just read about the Newborn competition. I have no idea what that is. At the moment I'm really busy with university so I don't think I can participate anyway.

[Jamesy]

Dayum, your pencils are gettin' crazy dude

[Niva.]

Clanlord, kak si be bratle?

The art on this last page blows my mind, I can't believe you've improved so quickly since the start of this SB. Keep pressing and don't look back!

[LtPlissken]

I enjoyed looking/reading your sketchbook, you have great concepts and nice technique, and you are only 15 year old if I realized right?
Your drawings are really motivating. Keep on going like this.

[conti]

Wow! Seeing your first post to now is just awesome! You've improved a lot and it's really inspiring XD! Awesome stuff dude!

[Swordhand]

The improvement to now is just mind boggling. You are on a roll man! so sick.. specially 'the machine' and christ now.. Just wow!
I can't seem to send you private messages for some reason, and I was wondering if you would be on my team for it? Tell me what you think :D

[Swordhand]

The message I got when I tried to send you a message was this: clanlord has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her.

anyways,
Here is a link to the contest if you don't already know about it, LINK (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=164934)

Everyone on my team left me because of a traumatic topic change (we had to start over) so it is just me left.
You can see some of my art at my sketchbook of course, or at the team thread that I have to myself now: LINK (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=164263&page=2)

[clanlord]

Hello CA!

vayne108 - thank you very much!

Rushlord - I've missed the competition too. And I am very dissapointed because of my skills TO DO NOTHING. God I hate myslelf. Soon enough if another competition is on the line I will participate for sure.

Jamesy - Hahaha thanks YOUR TOO! :D

n1va - Thank you very much.

LtPlissken - Thank you very much. (and for the reading) :) Hope to see some crits.

conti - Thank you very much.

Swordhand - I have ticked the wrong options from my CP in the site. Now I can recieve PM and I can send PM. God I must have know about that problem. Sorry for those that couldn't have the chance to write me. I will now post the characters in my SB. Tell me if you approve them and we can post them in the CHOW thread of tthe team.


I want to apologise about the late replies guys. I've been to a some sort of vacation or holiday. Now I am sick from that trip. I've got a sore throat. But soon I'll be alright.

Thank you very much for looking my SB.

[Dan Valkar]

the machine looks really badass...nice design!

[dU5K]

really cool stuff. i really like post #188. and i really like post #202. it has a good overall design. the only thing i could say is that it kinda needs something in the lower right hand corner to keep our eyes in the frame. but im sure that piece is done and over with. anyways. keep up the good work.

[Rushlord]

Inform me earlier the next time and I will participate too

[Konstruktion]

Fuck, nice stuff sice last time I visited you. #213 is wonderful. Maybe work some on his wrists, they look kinda Idontknowtheword, clumpy?.. The robot it sweeet. That bastard son of heaven is looking good too, and the close up is a nice one for sure! Still, what amazes me the most is your imagination for clothing etc. Come over to Sweden and teach me, ok?

[LtPlissken]

What is the coloring method that you used on the Barbarian and the Orc concept?

[clanlord]

Sorry for posting this again but this is an explanation of how you can color your sketch without any big problems :D You only duplicate (by pressing on it with right click on your mouse and choose from the menu (no matter the layer is locked or not)) the bottom layer then you adjust the color balance on the copied one.

[LtPlissken]

Yes I get it, and I am so happy that you are replied so quick. It would never thought of this method. I will try right away on some of my scanned drawings. It looks more than cool. I really love this forum cause there all so many good people and helpful friends. Thank you; thank you; thank you very much :mod: :rocker::rocker::rocker:

[Peetaer]

Your work is sick my friend. The first thing that "the machine" reminded me of was The Strogg from the Quake universe, but yes, it does have a Marko touch to it.

Anyways, dig our work man. You have good knowledge of the human anatomy. How long have you studied the human body? I'm curious because I'm still at a novice level.

[clanlord]

:mod:Hello guys!:mod:

LtPlissken - It was my pleasure :)!

Konstruktion - Thank you! You are right about the wrists. God I've messed all the things in it. The body is too unstable. He is flying... huh funny. I got to work more serious on the arms. But in the post #213 the arms are too a little awkward. Thank you for the crit I am looking forward to see more. STAY METAL :)

Rushlord - I will. Do not worry :D

Dan Valker - Thank you for the sweet compliment.

du5k - Thank you! I will look your SB and comment. I'll be happy to be in help.

Peetaer - Thank you for visiting my SB! Marko has a great influence on me, but I try to stare as much as I can from his mood of drawings and style. All this is an eye observation and imagination. It is impossible for me now to draw from Burne Hogarth because I do not have much time to sit on computer. I am studying the anatomy only from my eyes. Long time ago I did a few drawings from Burne Hogarth which is an excellent choice when it comes to studying.
Thank you again. Take care - G

Now here is another piece. Maybe more than 3 hours or so. I've been watching it more than drawing it :D. No reference used.

[Rushlord]

Damn you are so amazing. I envy your skills :D

[clanlord]

Ou man. Stop this. Lets think real. Look the others, yes I agree with you I've improved a lot in someones eyes but in others a little. It depends. It is so relatively. The philosophy of this is just the time. You need time to develop.

[Rushlord]

I do and still...I'm impressed. I wonder where you will be in 5 years or so. I think you are on the way to become the next Daniel C. ;)

[clanlord]

Rushlord - thank you! But no :) I want to be myself :)

Hello guys! This was my second entry in CHOW: Good & Evil competition. My teamates liked this more than the first one. I am in the same opinion too :) . Hope that you have a nice walk throught my humble SB. God I must go and draw. Bye :rocker:

[LtPlissken]

Of course it is more than excellent. I am a humble follower of your sketchbook...

[Abrodos]

Really good work here. Excellent rendering, good anatomy, lots of character on your work...
I'd suggest working on the poses, some of them look a bit awkward,as if they had been made up while drawing, and not before starting to draw. Anyway, that's a bunch of really nice work! Keep it up!

[Rushlord]

Of course you will be yourself. I just meant the level of skill ^^

[clanlord]

Holla guys!

First I want to give you a cordial thanks! :asskisser:

LtPlissken - My army is getting bigger :p ! Haha anyway thank you for the comment.


Abrodos - Thank you for commentin gin my SB for first time. Your feedback is very useful I must imagine the pose in my mind first or do a little thumbnails playing with different poses. I am not so good at foreshortening at the moment so my poses may seem sometimes a bit off and alike. However thank you for the crit :) Take care

Rushlord - haha I've understood. Take care my friend :)

[Katanasoul]

You´ve got some very nice figures and character designs here! I especially like the one from post 240.
Keep it up, I am looking forward to see more! :)

[clanlord]

Katanasoul - Thank you very much! :sungod:
