Some advice would be realy helpful. Thanks for comment and sorry about the bad english.

I think I can see some progress.

Hope you comment

[A tua mãe]

Hey I just started this drawing that I hope, heps me with human figure when I'm not using reference.

I'll try to post another update tonigt.

[A tua mãe]

Here is the continuation and an other sketch I've done today

http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/nn469/sardinhas_em_azeite/desenhos043.jpg
http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/nn469/sardinhas_em_azeite/desenhos044.jpg

[A tua mãe]

here is the final. Took me about 2h15m.

Still got a lot of problems in shading:er:






http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/nn469/sardinhas_em_azeite/desenhos045.jpg

[A tua mãe]

I've been drawing some stuff but not very relevant to post here.

So I'll just post this non referenced nude I did today and a very very objective one that is referenced. It is realy in the begining but it has already take me 4 hour and it is milimetricaly objective. I'm allways comparing with the original putting the paper in front of the monitor.

[a la bapsi]

VERY nice beginning here.
It's great to see how quickly you're learning. :D
I'd see a study for something like a face in a post, and every face after that, improved, showing that you learned a lot from that previous study.
Know that your time is not wasted!
Keep going, you're doing great. :D

[A tua mãe]

OOOOOHOOHOHO MY FIRST COMMENT XD

thanks a lot. that is very very apreciated.

I'm not sure if I correctly understood what you said about the faces but I'll probabily be posting some daily self-portraits and some faces that I've been drawing on the bus when I feel confortable with the human body.

thank you very much again.

[call me snake]

Hey! Thanks for your good reply in my sketchbook.
I'm really happy to see that you're making great progress here when I look at your first post and your last.
I especially like your skeletal studies which show really appealing linework.
I also think that your nude female study is really good as well.
But when you construct your figure I see that you're mostly working from the contour. It's probably about personal preference, but I try to think more about the form than the contour. I think it's easier to understand where everything is in space. Also it's a really good idea to make a loose gesture sketch before you start blocking out the contour. I see that you haven't really made that in the wip with the guy with the gun, or maybe it got lost in the scanning. If you make a loose (not fast and sloppy just lightly drawn) gesture before you start dealing with the contour and the forms I think you'll have an easier way of applying what you see to the paper.
Maybe I'm ranting but this kind of process helped me out a lot!

Keep up the great progress!

[A tua mãe]

Hey thanks a lot man. I've been noticing that I mostly work from the contour but I've been trying to change that as I study the lightning of the body. That tip is very helpfull and I allready been using it but the wip of the guy with the gun is a very objective thing, so I'm just starting by doing the measures and the general inclinations, and then I'll go on to more particular stuff

[A tua mãe]

Here is the continuation... it's almost done.

After finished, I'll paint it digitaly




http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/nn469/sardinhas_em_azeite/desenhos048.jpg

[A tua mãe]

I haven't been able to draw much as I wanted but here's the start of the painting.

http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/nn469/sardinhas_em_azeite/desenhos048copy.jpg



it's kind a messy. any help you can give??

[Cris_]

Você tem umas coisas bem legais aqui no teu sketchbook ;) adorei aqueles teus estudos no primeiro post, da pelvis, dos ombros e afins!
Sobre o teu ultimo post não posso te dar ajuda porque não sou lá grande coisa em desenho heheh mas a pintura está ficando interessante ;) espero para ver novos progessos.

[A tua mãe]

eeei brigadao meu!!! É fixe ver um brasileiro por aqui!!!

[Call0ps]

ja se nota muito progresso em muito pouco tempo. continua a postar coisas ( a desenhar ) todos os dias ;)

[A tua mãe]

Muito obrigado Callops.


Here's the continuation after some more hours of work. There are still many to come though.

(something tells me that didn't sound like english)




http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/nn469/sardinhas_em_azeite/desenhos048copy1.jpg





Edit: Could someone please tell me why the f**k my sketchbook doesn't get a second page by himself?? Because there are a lot of images on this page yet, and it takes too long to load them when you open the page.

[safesheep]

hey a tua mae, thanks for stopping by my sketchbook. Your photo study is looking good so far. Only thing I'd be concerned about is getting too involved in the details before everything is blocked in. Work from big to small, details. That seems to help me anyways. Keep it up!

[A tua mãe]

hey thanks a lot man, I've been noticing that when im drawing at photoshop and that's a process i should really give more atention.



here's the continuation, I've been drawing other stuff but not relevant enaught





http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/nn469/sardinhas_em_azeite/desenhos048copy2.jpg

[A tua mãe]

hey there. I quit the man's body study because I thaught it was giving me not much help as I need.


I've been trying to draw with no ref but seems like it's not working out. I'll continue to do some real studies.

By the way Is anyone intrested in having a group sketchbook with me?? I've seen it around here and I think that easy-going competition can be really helpful to both members (2 or more)

hopefuly whaiting for answers


Anyway, here is some ridiculous stuff I've been doing.

Started a self portait

WIP

[A tua mãe]

update




(photobucket has forbiden a image of a naked woman I had posted. Can you belive that??)








http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/nn469/sardinhas_em_azeite/autoretrato1.jpg

[Peetaer]

That's an awesome self-portrait, very realistic. Man, all I have to say is that you just have to keep the momentum going. You're showing mountains of improvement over a relatively short period of time. Keep going!!

Also, when are you gonna finish painting that dude (in his underwear) with the gun?

[A tua mãe]

Thanks a lot man, that is very apreciated. The dude with the gun, I'll be continuing it in some months from now to to see what was my progression then.



Ok. Finished the self portrait so I'll try to not be original, putting it as my avatar







http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/nn469/sardinhas_em_azeite/autoretrato2.jpg

[snootchy]

supsup A tua mãe, thanks for stopping by SB...i'm digging your ref digital paints, the self portrait is awesome nice job

only crit i might have is line drawings could use a little bit more variations in line width and when u render forms out with a pencil don't be afraid to laid down value, not so hard you damage the paper, rather build it up and then work the reverse sculpt form by taking kneaded eraser and subtracting

keep up the great work, looking forward to more of your ref paint (hehe wish i had the patience to do ref'd studies)

I had alread start it some weeks ago but photobucket deleted it. Hope they dont do it again.

[pantless_wanderer]

Oi mãe, tudo bem? Nunca me disseste que tambem desenhavas :P

É a primeira vez que vejo este sketchbook... sempre bom ver mais um tuguês por aqui :)

You're really improving fast from what I can see and the skin tones in your latest updates are great. Maybe they could use a little bit more contrast here and there, but they're already looking good.

Continua!

[Eon]

Good work happening here. Your painting is going strong. Use the attachment manager when you post instead of linking with Photobucket (or whatever). That way your images will always show and won't be censored. Keep at it!

[Eric Gerhard]

Nossa, Fernando!!!

Muito legal!

Vi os teus trabalhos aqui e foi muito boa a sua evolução! parabéns!

Abs!

[Peetaer]

oooo, she's lookin good. now for the details!

[A tua mãe]

ooooww 3 coments for 1 post!!

Thanks a lot you guys



I dont want to desapoint you but I really havent been in the mood to draw. some stuff has happened.

any way, here's the continuation. I dont feel ok for posting so litle, so I'll try to do something more tonigt.

[Call0ps]

é bom ver progresso ja e em apenas 2 paginas :) tenho k insistir para que desenhas com mais frequencia e que insistas em corrigir os erros que vais cometendo ao longo do processo, afinal as pessoas so vao ver o trabalho final e axo k é pra isso k se deve trabalhar :D pra ja axo k tas num bom caminho, continua.

cumprimentos,

Call0ps

[Ruivo]

Rapaz, sem problema eu entendi o que querias dizer!!! Estes ultimos dias tem sido um bocado esquesitos porque deixei de fazer estudos para fazer coisas mais complicadas, que ao fim ao cabo precisam de mais estudos!! E normal isto as vezs acontecer, foi so um pequeno desvio, mais estudos virao e ta atento a thread da malta com os brasucas!!
Tens razao quanto aos estudos mais longos, mas mal consiga um scanner postarei mais coisas!

Tens cenas muito fixes manda vir mais!! Draw, draw, draw till your hands bleed!! Como ja disseram antes tens feito enormes progressos!

Nao tho tablet, quero aprender a desenhar mesmo primeiro antes de pintar, mais tarde passo para digital!

Fica bem, um abraço!

[voraz]

Olá Fernando
Os teus desenhos têm melhorado bastante.
As pinturas digitais estão porreiras, especialmente o autoretrato. Penso que estás a amostrar as cores directamente da foto que usaste como referência e isso ajuda.
No entanto os teus desenhos ainda precisam de ser mais trabalhados, tenta usar linhas mais certas e trabalhá-los um bocado mais estás a deixar as coisas num estado muito pouco trabalhado.
As aguarelas têm potêncial, continua a trabalhar isso também.
abraço

[A tua mãe]

wwoohh mais 3 comentários e em portugues!!

muito obrigado pessoal. agora que falam nisso, apercebo-me que deixo sempre as coisas a meio. Acho que de passar tanto tempo num desenho farto-me e passo logo para outro.

Muito obrigado mesmo, vou seguir os vossos conselhos.


Now, new stuff here.

Started by the leg because I totaly suck doing legs in a non-referenced way.

Still working on that foot.

I'm gonna stay home tomorow so I'll probably show 2, maybe 3 updates






http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/nn469/sardinhas_em_azeite/belhelhe.jpg

[snootchy]

woh man that last post almost fooled me if those lines weren't there i woulda thought it was photo, freaking excellent job!!

[A tua mãe]

Thank you very much snootchy. I gess I payed more attencion to the colors I chose. But it allways looks more realistic in a zoomed-out dimension.



here's the continuation
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh if I take so long to each part of the body, I will just have it finished by the end of the month:dead:




http://i323.photobucket.com/albums/nn469/sardinhas_em_azeite/belhelhe1.jpg

[snootchy]

whocares if it takes a month, it's better to have that one kickass piece rather than 100 lousy pieces, keep going with this one, i really would like to see this one finished, also when you do finish can u post the ref pic as well

plus zooming out is fine because an image should read really well zoomed out, and for the intended size whether print or high res or whatever your ouptut u can still go back and work out the little nooks and crannies, detailing and noodling is just tedious and laborious but getting the form correctly is more than half the battle and to me the forms on this is juicy!!

[Brun]

hey,

great studies
however try to paint the whole image in on time, so block all the colours in at the same time, before moving on to detailing, and do this over the whole image,

don't do the legs first to move on to another part of the image, try to do everything at the same time, and to think a step ahead.

(does that make any sence)

keep on rocking

[A tua mãe]

Thank you very much snootchy. That's very motivating :wink:

Brun, what you said totaly makes sence but the reason I'm painting part by part is because, if I saw the whole body painted, and even if it wasnt as realistic as I wanted it to be, I would stop there because I would be to lasy to work on the details of the whole thing. By the way I'm doing it, that doesnt scare me because I have less stuf to focus on.
Does that make any sence?? My english is not so good but I hope I have expressed myself correctly.


Anyway. I havent been at home so I couldnt be working on the study. I'll focus on it tomorow. But here's a little thing I did today. The anatomy, poportions and so, are all fucked up, but I still like it though.



edit: Could anyone tell me how to do attachments of images??

[kupocake]

You could upload your work through ConceptArt, that's what happened to me with Photobucket; all my nude work got deleted.

Your digital artwork is lovely, and this sketchbook definitely progresses as more gets posted. For the pencil work, I think you should define it a little more, or perhaps move on to doing a complete pencil piece instead of sketches.

[A tua mãe]

I've been a lasy by not strugling as hard as I can.

didnt catch the right colors, so this part doesnt look as realistic as the other ones.

[katinki]

this figure painting is turning out stunning! may i ask why you render the parts seperately? i would have expected that one blocks in lights and shadows for the whole figure and starts detail rendering afterwards.
and please tell me that you work after a photo ref! or do you do that from imagination?!

[Envisor]

Great sketchbook. I really enjoy looking at those figures. They're so lifelike. Next time, try to have the background color something other than white.

[A tua mãe]

Hey again. Thank you all for your cheering comments. It has been a while. It happens that school started this week So I've been short of time. I haven't been able to do long studies but here are some pages of my sketchbook.

There is a mirror self portrait in the end

I'll continue the study of that woman right now.

[DarkBirth]

Tou a gostar muito de ver o que se ta a passar no teu sketchbook!tas a progredir imenso.continua a praticar com ou sem referencia.o importante é mesmo praticar. :) Continua a postar

[A tua mãe]

brigadao meu.


So, school has been taking almost all the time I have to draw and I've been trying to focus more on graphic design. Any way, here is a little update of the woman.

[snootchy]

A Tua you've got a sick eye for details, that rendering is awesome! I hope thats done at 300dpi, be a nice print to trick people into thinking it's a photo.

Esta é a minha nova conta...

nca mais acabas a pintura da gaja...

temos de combinar umas "desenhadas" por aí... xD

[A tua mãe]

Hey guys. It's been about 3 months since my last post.
I'm sorry for not posting but I've been trying my ass off at school so that I can enter to the painting class at the university.

Well, I'm on winter vacation now, so I'll try to post more often.

I've just finish that girl. I'll maybe select something from my sketchbook to post tomorrow or something.

[Call0ps]

nice to see you posting again :) the rendering on the last one is SICK man! specially her right arm/hand ! looks soo real! post more!

[a la bapsi]

awesome rendering on that last one!

show us what you learned from it with a creative piece. :D

[A tua mãe]

hey there. Thanks a lot you two.

a la bapsi, I'm still not very comfortable on doing figure without reference. although, I'll show anything as soon as I try. Thank you one more time.


So, I started a portrait of an old guy smoking. Still pretty shity




548436

[A tua mãe]

Hey there guys.

update of the portrait.
tried to economize some stroke just to see what was my progress on painting, after have done that woman.




550037



what do you think I should work on ??

[Call0ps]

boas, as cores parecem-me boas, quanto a economia de traços que predentes fazer, eu acredito que isso é persiso olhar muito bem para a referencia e pensar, o que é essencial e nao é no que toca a cor, luz e sombra. Porque ninguem pode te dizer qual é a soluçao para ti a nao ser tu mesmo ;) eu sei que soa muito filosofico etc... mas é a verdade. continua a trabalhar e vais acabar por encontrar uma soluçao que funciona para ti ( e para ti so ).
Mais um concelho, cuidado para nao ficares DEPENDENTE das referencias, especialmente fotograficas, tenta se possivel isto claro, desenhares e pintares da vida real, para teres melhor noçao de forma e volume.

Continua o bom trabalho,

Call0ps

[A tua mãe]

Muito obrigado Callops. Também já suspeitava que tivesse que descobrir por mim. Vou seguir o teu conselho. Muito agradecido.



Now, I've been doing figures from POSEMANIACS since yesterday and I tried something non referenced to see the results. You guys are probably not going to notice them, but I did when I draw this animal, that figure and other figures that are not here posted (didn't worth it). The figure is pretty fucked up but the creature is cool.
Is the first concept I'm posting in conceptart :mod:




551042



I'll paint it tomorrow.

[A tua mãe]

I've just posted the reply above and I'm looking to the drawing that, a minute ago I pretty much liked, and that I now think, is the most bigger shit

[A tua mãe]

Hey there guys. I've got an update here.

I've done it totally without reference, so I'm kind of proud of it. and its my first concept, even thought I don't know what it is.

[AndreRuben]

Hey!

epá este cão cor de rosa parece-me pouco convincente.. parece que esta a fazer um esforço do caraças para se aguentar de pé.. a melhor parte secalhar é a cabeça dele e memso assim pareçe muito achatada.

continua a desenhar! temos de marcar mais sessoes de desenho a partir do real por aí na rua..

[A tua mãe]

Here's something I just did without ref. It's not much but I'll try to post something more today. Right now I have to study




554423

[paperX]

hey man nice work here, I would say watch out for the quality of your lines that's one of the most important hurdles to watch out for. I like this (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1869671&postcount=19) study you did, nice rendering and colours, keep it up!

[A tua mãe]

Hey thanks a lot for the advice paperX. I'll watch out for it :wink:


So here's something I started. Obviously a WIP. I know I should not work only from photo. And I've been doing other stuff from life, but it's only people on the street and houses I draw on my sketchbook. I don't think it's good enaugth to post here. :(

[Haal100]

The pencildrawing without a reference is really good, looks very organic.
The last one looks a little bit stiff....and I think it needs a higher contrast, otherwise very nice, keep it up and do some more of these :D

[Coralinia]

Uau tens mesmo jeito para pintar, quando tinha visto a tua primeira página tihna adorado as tuas aguarelas, agora vi a terceira página e adorei novamente as tuas pinturas, és mesmo bom pintor :asslick: , acerca dos desenhos sei que ainda não sou nenhuma profissional (mas estou a lutar por isso) mas posso dar-te uma sugestão faz muitos treinos de desenho a observação e continua a estudar anatomia, para mais tarde vires a ser o melhor artista português conhecido do mundo e com uma concorrência em cima de ti adivinha quem?...EU :asspat:

[snootchy]

sup A Tua Mae; man it's been a long time since i stopped by here, but i'm glad to see you posting again

you have a great eye for capturing proportions, value, and colors; as long as u keep sticking to ur ref studies the imaginative one will definitely catch up; i think when approaching ref sketching, it's important to make a mental note or remember why you are placing a darker value here, or what is the form doing or where does the body exist in the x and y coordinate, etc

it's good to be mindful of these little things so that when u need it, it will be there; sometimes it's real easy to get lost in just rendering something out to make it look photographical but it's nice to look at a piece that has some personal style meshed with the realism

personally i find sketching freely, even though u know a line is suppose to go here but u just let the whole arm move or lines flow freely produces some great initial sparks for ideas or shapes u recognize

you're studies are insane, wish i could render stuff out the way you do =O

keep up the great work!!

[bharat]

good stuff but first u concentrate on proportion than colour.

[A tua mãe]

Hey there guys, it has been a very very long time since my last post.
I just came to see if there was something new and found these three comments!!

I've been very busy with school, trying to get to study painting in college and last vacations I had been traveling around Europe so, didn't have time for real studies or posts. Even though, I promise to dedicate my life to painting and post as much as I can when I get to college.

Coralinia, muitíssimo obrigado pelo comentário. Não acho que pinte assim tão bem como dizes mas obrigado, asserio. E sim, pretendo ser o melhor pintor que conseguir ser, mas quero concorrência à altura claro :wink:

snootchy, thank you so much man!!! That's an extremely useful comment. I'll put that in action as soon as I can. thank you again. I'll pass by you sketchbook.

bharat, thank you very much, Yes, I do have problems with proportions, but I'll stick up with that ass soon as I can.

[Eon]

SICK! (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=545642&d=1229884347) Your patience must be respected! You really have the potential to become a great painter! Keep going!

[Marsch]

Meu, seus estudos tão muito foda, mesmo eu que sou um ubernoob consigo ver que se ta avançando pra caramba, boa sorte.

[A tua mãe]

Hey there guys! I'm on school break now so I'm gonna start posting again; and now it's non stop!

Thanks a lot you guys :wink:


So, this is something I did just to get used to the digital painting again. It has lots of errors; pretty lame.

[snootchy]

yo A Tua Mae you've come back to us, hahaha!!! glad to see you back in action, and I don't think that last paint is lame at all, it's always good to go back to basics, nice job on that!! Looking forward to seeing more!!!

Thanks a lot Snootchy. I was by your sb


So, here's something I went back to work on again.
Is not as good as I would like it to be but I give it for finished.


712645


I'm thinking about doing some study on traditional.

[snootchy]

damn A tua mae your nuts bro, i just luv how you can capture likeness soo well, I know exactly which stock photo this is from too! Keep going with the studies, but I think it'll really help to just do simple sketches as well, to convey form with lines as well. Pretty much changing it up with all different types of studies keeps the mind pondering and working on weakness areas as well as a review for strengths.

It'd be interesting to see you do a master copy, since it's not a photo and impossible (but can be done) to copy every brush stroke but more to capture the mood and lighting of master's work.

Great stuff keep em coming dood!

Hey there guys

Thank you a la bapsi

I've 3 photos to show you guys. Some studies I've been doing.


This one took me about 10 hours, really learned a lot with it

794156



These were experiences with oil painting - first time

And this one was a cast drawing that took me about 10 hours - pretty shity if compared with the ones of Dorian Iten

[Ninjac]

Great studies A tua mãe! I love the water colors. The only suggestion I would make at this point is to try and bring more cools particularly blues and greens into your figure paintings. Real skin isn't always hues of orange and red. Keep it up though!

[Nkristian]

nice portrait! though the left eye looks a bit too wide compared to the right.

anyways are you still interested for a sketchgroup :D just send me a note.

[A tua mãe]

Thank you guys!

I've got 3 things here. One Greuze study still to finish; a skull and a view from my bedroom that I'll paint as real as I can with night light ;)
