welcome to my sketchbook, have a look tell me if you like it/dislike it. i am on a foundation course at the mo soon to bedoing illustration at university.

[PerinGalitte]

I like the first one best. Wow, studying illustration at Uni- that's awesome. Wish I could do the same. Lets see more of your stuff.

[hedwordup]

iv been messing with pen and watercolour at the moment, quick and satisfying

[Hilbruks]

the last guy with the bandana has some nice colors, and your faces are expressive.
needs work, but you're going to uni, so you'll get to do that.
good luck and enjoy :)

[hedwordup]

yeah your right im looking forward to dedicating myself totally cus at the moment I work and stuff so I dont have the time to draw as much as I would like.

[Warforce17]

I really like your first one and pencil sketches.
Keep on posting.
Looking forward to see sth from you.

[hedwordup]

cheers warforce thanks for looking

[satori]

I'm not really feeling the watercolors, the style is to rough for my taste
I really like the first sketch in post #1 though
the details like eyelids and ears give it a lot of naturalism, without you having to add tons of extra information. the shading and the hair is good to, the lines seem to be going in the right directions.
the second sketch is great to, but I'm a bit allergic to extreme angle crosshatching, like for example on the forehead, but in general the shading is very good and I like the sense of different planes one gets.

where do you plan on studying illustration?

[hedwordup]

sartori,

i agree with you about the extreme hatching i sort of regret posting that one i am quite keen on the rough style though not necessarily in my work but definetely in other peoples. Im going to uni in sunderland, england cus i want to live in newcastle, cheers for the crits

[super skoda]

The Willie Nelson is awesome!

Please post more.

[hedwordup]

thanks super skoda,
im writing an essay for college at the moment and working in the evening so theres little time to draw, as soon as i do anything i thinks worth posting ill put it on

[shrikant]

thanks for visit my sketchbook! and your comments.
i am not an art student, but the nice community and the good critics and help, Hopefully I can become a good artist.

NOW its ur turn..
i really like your illustrations, rendering style is very nice,
expressions of characters are looking impressive (the main attraction).
keep it up!
good luck

[hedwordup]

some new pencil stuff mostly from photos i have to admit apart from the bulidings and nude which is an old master copy

[Cop]

Nice work, your line is very sensitive and you have a good volumes gestion.
My favorite is the old man colored with water color !!

[Josef K.]

nice drawings! keep posting i want to see more!

[hedwordup]

thanks for the nice comments cop and josef k heres a quick raphael study and some facial anatomy

[Sebastianrenaissance]

ey

thanks, i find your work special, its some from evrything. You're right concurning the tip but i've studied on the anatomy and faces far to much. I want to draw some fun again. Now i'm drawing dragons and maybe tomorow a hippo or somthing like that. Just always changing. I do see that i'm realy getting better when i've studdied on the masters work. But for today: TIME FOR FUN. tomorrow: back to studying

Sebastian

P.S.: how old are you? if your drawing so good and saying that you would me better if studied Rafael of your 15 (please answer in MY sketchbook, or i will forget yo look here)

[Tea Drinker]

nice sketches, I really enjoy your Raphael study. I did notice that your full forms are based after very chiseled figures, it'd be cool to see how you do with a softer form where you have to make subtle indications of muscle.

look forward to seeing more of your works :heart:

[ajvenema]

nice works! just keep doing the stuff you like;) would love to see more watercolor!:D

[hedwordup]

im feeling frustrated with drawing so i dont have any work i feel is worth posting but i need to get into the habit

[hedwordup]

im doing portraiture at college so it will mainly be stuff like that now. apologies to people that dont like bad portraiture, people that do read on

[eskanto]

There are very gentle, sensitive renderings in your moleskin drawings. Awesome.

[Harlequin01]

I can't wait to see where your art work ends up. You have a good start going with your sketchbook. My biggest crit would be in how you create your forms for your drawings. It feels like you build up your drawing from one small detail to the next instead of getting the overall shape down and then working in to the drawing. This is how it looks, I could be wrong, I'm just trying to read your drawings. But if this is the case, this will help your proportions.

Thanks for commenting on my sketchbook. I made the change you pointed out. Which university are you going to attend?

[hedwordup]

thanks for the crit harlequin thats something ill def start doing

im bored with my portraiture project as you can probably tell

[HunterKiller_]

Hey dude.

Your portraits are looking good.
Some of your drawings show confident lines, while some seem a bit scratchy.

Keep on posting.

[Frank Gressie]

great studies man!
you have a long way to go, but i believe the fundamentals are already there.
keep posting here, i'll be checking from time to time!

[humanNature6115]

Hey, really nice work :) You've got a good grasp of pretty much everything. Your cross-hatching is great; something I can only half do, lol. Looking forward to more.

[Dannelf]

Awsome stuff! :D Love your portraits!
keep it up!

[Pigeonkill]

I'm digging your portraits. The bugged eye anatomy skeleton in color wash was funny to me. You have nice and warm expressions on your faces

[Goog]

nice stuff in here, but remember to start with basic shapes. Really enjoy your watercolors.

[GriNGo]

great work man, your faces are quite unique (although it wouldn't hurt to try to study more anatomy). keep it up....

[Jok]

Really good works, I like your style, keep it going

[hedwordup]

thanks for the kind comments and the critical ones. goog, taking into consideration the basic shapes before working on details is something that i am working on at present. gringo your right i need to sharpen up on the anatomy, your comment has spurred me on to do this. its great to get some good feedback too especially when you have sb's that im jealous of.
heres the first of 4 portraits of the queen im doing for college sort of regret my choice of subject matter but its a bit late now. plus it aint a very good likeness

[johnnyhotrod]

It looks as though you have the figure down pretty good. I really enjoyed your work. It has a unique look to it, which is what most artists go for.

Keep up the good work.

John

[nachoyague]

nice stuff here, i love the variety of media you've used

[Sebastianrenaissance]

eey,

it was a long time ago sinds your reply. I understand what you ment now. i don't get how people can draw a boy right out of ther minds. I must use an example. can you draw like that and how?

sebastian

[hedwordup]

sebastian hope i answered your q ok on your sb.

this is my last painting of the queen and i hope never to paint her again.

[hedwordup]

finally finished college so i can draw stuff i want now. the quality on the last one isnt so clear

[a_a]

Nice traditional stuff, dude. ;) I really love you coloring style.. ;) These watercolors are so great and balanced.. very enjoyable to watch :) And btw, don't worry my skull is normal :D :Pppp :)))

[marc_redd]

I'm really feelin these sketches! I love this.

[AsaB]

Hi there! Thanks for dropping by and welcome to CA :)

I so dig your pencils, your line quality is looking great, both confident yet flowing. There's a bit of inconsistency between sketches, but overall I think your showing great understanding of form and values.

Nice seeing you experiment with such different media! The watercolour ones were my favourites, the loose style looked good. I'd however love to see a little more refined pieces, if you're interested.

But otherwise this is great start for sure! Hope you'll keep updating regularly.

[thek]

Fantastic watercolours! They have a mood to them. You didn't have to write Willie Nelson on the page, it IS Willie Nelson. Great drawing and hatching style, which I can really appreciate when you use pen (from these scans anyway - pencil doesn't scan as well). The dog&duck sketch is beautifully done.

And I wrote £10 as the return amount in my Moleskine too. As if I'd ever let myself lose it!

[a la bapsi]

if those are self portraits in your first post i'd have to say you're very pretty. <3

and your watercolors--very beautiful. full of energy, almost accidental. I love it. ;_;

[Sedig]

A good start to a sketchbook. I look forward to watching your progress.

Hunterkiller brought up a critique on the first page: sometimes your lines are clean and confident, and other times they are scratchy. The same thing happened on this page. The profile faces have beautifully confident lines, and the figure has several places with scratchy, unclear lines. I can certainly relate to the difficulties of drawing the human figure, but I can also send some advice your way--slow down. I find that when my lines look messy, it's usually because I was rushing. Be patient, let your eyes do the work.

Also- earlier in the book you mentioned that you were frustrated with drawing. I don't know how frequently you run into this problem, but when I get frustrated I find nothing more relaxing than some nice slow contour drawings of my left hand. Just a thought.

Great work so far, hoping for more updates....

[hedwordup]

oil on board, the background colours are garish but im gonna change them soon. this is like the 4th time iv recycled this drawing

[Sedig]

Painting is coming along just fine, I think. Sometimes garish colors are all right. You might want to watch the value changes on the back area of the figure--it's getting a little greyed out.

[hedwordup]

iv not been able to update for two months but iv finally got onto a scanner, the first two are work for uni and the second two are doodles.

[DigitallyDumbfounded]

Oh, those sketches are wonderful.
The legs on the first guy look short though. (I know, I know, it's the pants. Silly kids these days. ;P)

You could warm up the skintones in your paintings some more.
The grey is actually spot on for seemingly blue highlights outdoors but the cheeks would profit from a more rosy/orangy tint.
I really enjoy your hatching. That's an interesting technique to build form like that. (Like on the pants.)

[hedwordup]

thanks for the comments digitally I will def take on board what said. heres some life drawing 1st- 20mins 2nd 5mins and then some stuff for a uni project

[hedwordup]

more life drawing and stuff
