Hi, no upload for a while, I have a litle problems with scaning or doing fotos of my drawings.
Heres some random stuff for now on.
Critic's and advice's may very help.

Been drowing from photo reference's lately, heres the latest one.
Feel free to leave some critic's.

[P]

Today's creature design.
Sorry for photo quality, but its the best I can do.

[iheartmyself]

loving that ^ so messed up its awesome XD

[Verehin]

very nice for your young ages

[Fly]

i like the fly =D (there all good though)
is that last one a chicken? sure is one funky chicken if it is :p

[P]

Litle update.
I started draw/paint digitaly. These 2 days I been trying shapes, brushes, diferent methods of painting, most of it on fruit painting.
So heres some examples.

And im kinda upset about mental colour picking, i done these paintings using photo references, so i used a litle colour picking tool from a photo, is that bad?
Later I'll try painting still life, so I'll avoid trying to cheat with colour pick. I'll see what what comes from that.

Please, give me advices, critics or something (especially about mental color picking thing).

Hey Pijus, thanks for stopping by at my sketchbook and thanks for the comment.
Your so called nonsense drawings are really quite good and interesting, I wish I started up a regime at your age, you're doing a fine job man :) good pencil work.

[Surion]

Hey there Piju!
Really nice sketchbook here.
Great to see you practicing and studying anatomy immediately. It's still the best way to learn :)
About the color picking, yea, it's kinda cheating :P
It's still the best to try and find your own colors.
For the fruits, they're done really nice!
I like the first apple better than the second because the blending in the first is done way better than in the second. what makes it look a lot more realistic.
If you're interested, here is some info about blending and coloring in photoshop by Bumskee. It helped me a lot so here it is:

Cheers dude! and keep it up!

[P]

oODanyalOo: your always welcome and thank you.
Surion: thanks for such a great comment, man. And I'll check that link u gave me for sure.

Heres a litle bit of playing with Alchemy.
Some of those looks pretty cool for me.

[Euphemism]

Hi there! You're doing great so far with the anatomical sketches. :) With some of your previous imaginary work, I would've liked to see a definite light source in your sketches, instead of a general-looking shading-thing going on.

I suggest on your next studies is to draw the deepest shadows first, before anything else, in a solid black or eqiuvalent shade, and work backwards (from dark to light). This exercise should help you structure your figures (I always advise people to do that! :D ), and give more of a dynamic prescence to your imaginary works. Good luck!

[P]

All day been scribbling, trying to improve tablet lines, its way harder to get use to it than i thought before.
Heres the best I can show for today - skull studie.

[res01ve]

That creature design is pretty darn sweet. Actually I really enjoy your imagination, all the way from the crustacean type thangs up top.
Two suggestions, watch your proportions when doing studies. The full bodies tend to have a squashed look to them. And explore your full range of values, your darkest darks could be a bit darker.
More creatures please...

:.

[Smoke]

Damn those sketches are nice. Keep working on the anatomy, legs in particular, they seem to be giving you hassle. Kick their...ass? D:

Loving those clean lines.

[P]

epicnoses: I am and I will, and thanks, man. :hugsmile:
res01ve: Thank you very much, mate. Thanks for suggestions, I'm trying to work out with it. Well I stoped doing creatures and that kind of stuff for a while, but I think I'm gonna make some soon.
Smoke: Thank you!!! Heres some of anatomy studies for you. :)

432463
432464

[Mitze]

Got talent there. Keep a eye on the proportions a bit hit and miss, on some of them. Post more pics.

[Smoke]

Well you sure took that to heart pretty quick. These are looking good. I echo Mitze's concern with the proportions but it's better than it was, which it what counts.

[P]

Thanks fellas. Im going on a trip tomorrow, so I'll not upload a week or two. Hope I'll be back with some sketches so I could upload as soon as I come back home.
Heres some still life drawings, I hope to improve my shading thing doing those. Phone photos :D

EDIT: I replaced photos to scaned pics, I hope its beter.

[a la bapsi]

neat stuff, and very carefully renders pencil sketches. :]
who is it do you study for anatomy? looks like someone i could learn a lot from. *_*

[greenbears]

dude, you're doing pretty awesome for your age. I wish I could draw like that when I was 15. Your crazy half woman half creature things are creeping me out! Great work!

[lilou]

HOLY MOLY!!! there is some serious potential in here!! how old did you say you are?

the last ones really kick some ass, and your lines went from shy and cautious to selfconfident more lose ones! great improvement!! I like the way you deform your characters, makes them pretty interesting, try to keep studying "normal" anatomy though, cos you first have to know the rules before breaking them :)

your fruits are great too, and yeah colorpicking is kinda cheating, but hey EVERYONE started like this!!! so nevermind, its totally normal!

last advice for your pencilrendering... try to make some hatching practices. I 'm a huge fan of hatching and say that if its done right it can look better than the 'smudgy' way...

bye
diana

[P]

a la bapsi, big thanks. Because of my bad english I'm not sure what where u asking, you mean who teach's me anatomy? Well I started from Riven Phoenix videos on youtube, that changed my drawing a lot and now I bought a HUMAN ANATOMY FOR ARTISTS book by Andras Szunyoghy and Dr. Gyorgy Feher and thats it.

greenbears, thank you. I'm a bit stand out guy so some kinda a bit scary or ugly style growing it self in me, I like when people see me drawing creatures or something like that and say ''oh man thats disgusting''.

lilou, well my birhtday was at july, so I'm 16 now and I hate it... Thank you very much. Im studying a bit of arms and legs anatomy right now, ill try to study some more. Thanks for advices, I'm not sure what is that hatching thing, but ill check that out after posting this.

Some random figures and arm muscle studies.I feel like I need to start studying hands and feets cuz I never took it seriously and now its bad for my figures.

445055

[Tigermilk]

wow, dynamite progress in here, incredible antomy studies, where's the reference from?
I wasn't nearly as good as this back when I was 16. :) Keep it up!

[lilou]

very good new post !!!

the armstudies look good! though the skeleton hands look a bit odd...
may I ask wich book you use?

bye
Diana

[Smoke]

Hey Pijus, you're making steady progress here, I'm liking the anatomy studies, don't burn yourselt out on them though, for every study, do something from imagination, it doesn't have to be something that takes 5 hours to sketch and render, just a doodle will help loosen things up.

I hope you're wrong about our SSG. D:

[P]

Tigermilk: super thanks, oh those refs from an very old Lithuanian photography books.

lilou: thank you. Hands looks odd becouse I have not studyed it seriously, but I'm working out with it in traditional media so I'll not upload those studies. I use HUMAN ANATOMY FOR ARTISTS book by Andras Szunyoghy and Dr. Gyorgy Feher (http://www.amazon.com/Human-Anatomy-Dr-Gyorgy-Feher/dp/3829005733).

Smoke: thank you, I'll try to take your advice, thanks for it. I hope so too. :)

Today I tryed to draw a mirror, but some fool apeared in it, so I had to draw him too.
Well looks nothing like me, I dont know if I should upload this, but whatever... it will be here for you to measure the progress if I upload more selfportraits in the future.

445906

[Caffeine_stream]

cool stuff. maybe try and get a bit more variation in shade out of the pencil.

[Kfeeras]

get your sketchpad, go outside, draw the people from real life, thats the most rewarding and useful experience. anatomybooks are great of course, but theres nothing like real life, man. i see some 5 stars comin within the next years!! and besides thx for commenting my sb (aka txfcmsb).

greetzes

-antonio

[P]

Caffeine_stream: Thank you mate, yeah Im stuck on shading, but I'm trying to slowly slowly work with that.

Kfeeras: Thanks for advice, it really pushed me. I actualy hate drawing from life in public, sometimes I use to do that traveling by bus or train, but I hate when people starting to stare at me and its geting worse when they realize that I'm drawing them. But I need to use to that right? I wait for school year to begin, itll be much more publicity for me, sitting in the classroom/school/art school, drawing friends, you know... Thanks again.

Heres still life painting I done tonight, orange and a grapefruit.

446138

[Caffeine_stream]

Hehe yeh drawing gestures in life is amazing practice but it can be unnerving when people realize you are drawing them or when they try and see your sketches. Its great when its a good sketch, not so good when its a doodle!

[P]

I started studying hands a bit. Here it goes. I know I should draw more of them from life, thats a bit hard to do that digitaly so most of these from a head. Ill make some traditionaly on a paper from life, but itll be not uploaded.

446533

[EBrown]

Funny...I just uploaded some of my hand studies to my own Sketchbook!

I really like your style Pijus. Some of your character concepts are just so outlandish, yet well balanced. Keep up those anatomy studies and you'll be a master in no time.

[Slothman86]

oh darn. That is what I call the difference between hardwork and talent! Please do not pursue a career in the arts! You must give me a chance!

but srsly, your studies are going to set your skill, and It seems you already know that. You are on the right track! Great work!

[P]

EBrown: Yes, I checked that out, you already know that. ;) Thank you, I hope I'll be...

Slothman86: hehe, in which category im in? I hope in both. I think theres a space for both of us in art, dont worry. Thanks alot man! :)

Ok, I'm geting my "studio" seting up, so I can paint more often now.
Heres anather still life painting sketch of fruits, I'm planing to do that every night and I hope this becomes a project. :steph:
I know I picked the colors wrong, but when I scaned it, it looks even worse. I think I need a photo camera.

Feel free to give advices and critics about this.

446839

[Caffeine_stream]

hey man was gonna post this before but i forgot!!!
the still life's are going good. maybe try and add a few more colours, just remember you are painting the way light acts on the object, not the object itself, so altho the apple may be green or the orange maybe....orange there will prob be other colors in there due to the light such as yellow, red, orange and all the colors of the rainbow!

[res01ve]

You definitely upped your game.
Perhaps some backgrounds for those new flowing figures?

[Slothman86]

You have proven in this thread that you will do the work. So, take the compliment either which way. This is my outlook...

talent- natural ability
skill- ability through hard work
hard work- process that usually results in a refined product and in which one can obtain ability (also known as practice), can also be recognized from the product of itself being in that the product is precise to a fine degree(really confusing where's my oxford...)

So, when someone looks at your art and says, "You have talent/skills," you can say "Yep, I do *pause* BUT this is my hard work!"

Girls like guys with skills!

[P]

Caffeine_stream: thanks for advice, Ill try to add more colors in tonights painting for sure!

res01ve: thanks man, I dont know, maybe ill make some next time, but im afraid that mine backgrounds will make my drawings look bad...

Slothman86: thank you for all this :)

I been busy non artisticly these days, you know schools coming, need to prepare for that shit... :\
Took some foot studies today. Thats something I done digitaly, Ill do some more sketches or doodles from life of the foot later non digitaly.

449003

[P]

Scaned my litle sketchpad a bit.
You already seen something similar from a first scan.
Second one and a 3rd - some drawings from life.

[P]

Tonights still life. I added more colors to this, but it doesnt feel that much actualy. Pear and two different kind apples, background left the same as the previous painting.

449556

[Kfeeras]

hi, thx for returning to my sb!! that last stilllife: try to get the edges cleaner. and maybe a little blending with a dry brush afterwards, but thats just minor. keep up and it wil keep gettin better

cheers

-antonio

[res01ve]

The cats have a real nice flow.
How can you be good if you're never bad?
Show me the backgrounds! ;)

[inkR]

You are 15?! Mate your progress is unbelievable! The pose studies are really awesome.
Keep posting, i would like to see more:)

greetz,
inkR

[P]

Kfeeras: Always welcome, I'm lurking in it. Thank you for suggestion, I'll try that in next painting.

res01ve: Thank you, and here, I tryed to put some background detail's on it. Hope it counts. :D

inkR: sorry, I'm 16 from July :( Large thanks! Keep it locked and you will mate. :^^:

Something different and new for me, inserted some background details. First three from my head, second three done using a photo references.

[The Whistler]

Hey man, nice studies! You've improved considerably since you've started the SB and you're doing exactly what you're supposed to do to improve even further :) Keep up the good work!

Cheers!

[res01ve]

The backgrounds count! Good perspective.

I think a round brush with a lower opacity might work out better than the square brush. Are you using photoshop or something else?

Have you seen our SSG around? Are they sleeping?

:.

[P]

The Whistler: Thanks a lot. :)
res01ve: Good, thanks man. I'll try some roundish brush's next time, thanks for suggestion. I'm using corel painter essentials 3 which was included in my wacom box, I dont have any other program I could use legaly. :/ About our SSG, well I only see you, Smoke and Mitze; about others, I dont know maybe theyre very busy.

School recess ended, so I'll not draw and upload so often than I did before.
Yesterday's painting with acrylics. I think I did better job with edges, but worse with everything else, maybe it took to long and I been too tired to fix it. And I need to change the background next time...

454130

[res01ve]

The edges are much improved on this still Life.

The thing that stands out most, other than the background are the speculars.
Perhaps try mixing in a bit of their base color, so that they're not straight white and they will look more natural. Right now the white is so pure, it gives the appearance that the light bounce is sitting on top of the fruits.

I do like your blending style. I also, for whatever reason, really enjoy that you have the pencil in the photo.
:.

[P]

res01ve: Thank you for advice, I hope that will help on next painting. Yeah, I like to show a bit of workspace tools or backgrounds of it, its olso really interesting to see someone do it too on theyre pics. :) Thanks again.

[Kagemusha22]

You seem to be on the right course, in doing anatomy studies and observational work. To be making work of this level, at just 15 really blows me away.

The observations on the fruit look really good, the tonal work is impressive. (and colouring)

good stuff homie.

[lilou]

good works!! you're quite of a hardworking bee, aren't you? :D
however Kfeeras is right, life drawings are the best! I like you're ballpoint thumbnail sketches!!! you're line quality improves so damn fast!! *envy you*
though you're hatching is quite confused and rather sloppy... but thts ok, good hatching is always a result of long practice!!! and there are so many thechniques you can use hatching for!!!
oh and i really like the girls poses in the penultimates upload!!! thogh its quite the same pose every time, its from different angles which is so cool to look at!!
nice nice! I'll visit you again :)!!!
bye
diana

[amarryth]

you've got some great stuff coming out here.. careful with your painted fruits that you are keeping aware of the slight colour variations in light and shadow, often the fruits colour will reflect onto the surface, and the surface onto the fruit.. the still life at the top of this page flattened a bit.. i don't think the shadows needed to be so dark.. be careful to only use straight black when absolutely necessary..

[Mitze]

i haven't dropped here in while and you have defiantly improved some good and great stuff here. Love the oil paintings but the pure white highlights are hurting them.

[P]

res01ve:Thanks man, I was making some lately but it was just a few so ill wait till I have more of those and I can upload.

lilou:I dont know, I feel like I need to push my self harder to be one. And thank you!!!

amarryth:Thank you a much for sugestions - I wish it will help.

Mitze:Thanks, Im trying. :)

epicnoses:Ill draw some facial expressions later for sure, just need to find some time for it. Thank you!

A weekend, finally! Schools burning my drawing time, but what can I do - I need a good marks. Ill try to spend these 2 days on drawing as much as I can.

Hi Pijus!
The anatomy studies you posted on the first 2 pages really inspired me to do more myself. The way you pose your sketches, they feel natural. Thats good!
And regarding your marker scribbles, these show you have a knack for blocking in the shadows, very nice eye you have there!

About eyes, yeah I got some critics about it before, hopefuly I'm planing to make some more seriuos studies of the head some day - ill touch the eyes too. Thank you for your critics, it pushed me.

A.GEAN: Thanks again, I'm glad u like it! :^^:

I gues its the last post in page 3 and I'll end it up with some digital figures. I hope to make some more tonight. See ya in a page 4 though.

That is some sweet progress homie.
I can dig.
Keep doin what you're doin :.

Hey man. Pretty good stuff so far! I would really love to see more life studies. I think you can render them just fine now.

[Pandragon]

I'm liking a lot of things here, you really are progressing great. One of the things I see in everyones sketchbooks are life drawing studies. I can't for the life of me draw any human figure, let alone shade one.

[thescala]

good stuff dude you have a good understanding of anatomy

[P]

SaiVix: U'll see, Its more like a scribble exercise's, well I'll upload em later this week.

I been practicing digital painting all day, searching through painting tutorials. Got nothing more to show, except a portrait, no ref used. Took me long enough, but had much fun though. Need to make more that kind of practices, hope to make more colorful later.

The progress you have made from beginning to now is just amazing! I wish I had started actually studying art and figure forms when I was 15. Too distracted in anime, I was. Hah.
Really amazing work, I can't wait to see more from you.

[P]

TrishaM - Thanks. Yeah i guess anime is a disadvantage for begining, but fortunately only anime pushed me to art, heh, got to say thanks to it.

epicnoses - Thanks, I'm trying, not pushing a break.

bigfooTrooper - Thank you. Going going...

[alshakno]

Hey, lots of practice
so your gestures are awesome, much better than mine
thanks for characterdesigns.com , didn't know about that, really looking for alternatives of posemaniacs

do you know the other resources?

[P]

Vingrey, thank you for kindness :^^:
alshakno, thanks! And ur welcome. Other resources? No I dont, thats a shame, but i guess charecterdesigns.com photosets is enough for practicing nude drawing from ref, and they update photosets too.

I'm still learning drawing heads, starting to understand the planes better. I have a big trouble shading though, also I feel like I dont understand how the head should look like when I put it into some more difficult perspective. Need to come up with some more self portraits or other references used to solve that perspective problem I guess.

Ir dar beje - noretusi daugiau kokiu tai tapybiniu, kad ir skaitemnos pamatyti! :)

[alshakno]

Hey Pijus, i missed a lot here
nice studies
digital portrait is awesome

do you have notice mail problem too or it is just me?

[res01ve]

Gettin weirder.
I dig.

[P]

Mr.Juicy, aciu uz pastaba, istikruju pats tik dabar pastebejau, reiks kazka keist. O tapybiniu tai manau bus per atostogas digital ikirsiu, dabar nei laiko nei jegu nera sedet prie to kompo. O seip dar laukiu kada leis is tapybos klases natiurmortus parsinest namo, tai ir tuos sumesiu cia po kiek laiko. :^^:

alshakno, thanks, I didnt noticed any mail problems, but I noticed images disappearing from a forum, damn, it must be that copyright thing on attachment manager, I hope Admins will explain that soon...

res01ve, yeah, need to be variable. Glad u like. :^^:

wow, lots of studies

only one critique ( i know am not at the place for that but really want to see your improvement)
the way you shade your characters make them look flat!
if it is kind of crosshatching, if there be some tones by more line crossing there would be a better volume!(wish you understand it because i don't understand myself what i said :D )

the environments looks really nice
where studies come from? from anybook?

[P]

alshakno, lets face it, I suck at values and all shading thing, thanks for ur critique, Ill definatly study that upcoming day.

Figures references used and athor fuck...

I think I'm going to find something readable about values and shading now.

for shading try something other than pencil, maybe water color or things like that

[Tadas]

man idomu, kiek tu mazdaug vienai tokiai figurai laiko skiri?

[P]

alshakno, hey thanks mate. Heh got to buy watercolors, got non, ill make some marker shading tomorow I guess.

hey, yeah haven't been to yours in a while either. i'm jealous of your female figures and the gentle rendering you use on them, it looks really good. you certainly have a good grip on their forms ;) nice structural analysis of faces in the last post too, even though faces drawn that way are always freaky to me lol

[alshakno]

nice studies

shadings are going better and better

what was the reference in woman figure drawing in post#166 ?

Great work on the studies and portraits. You have made huge improvements.

Loads of good stuff here from the sketchs to speed paintings keep it up

double post forum lag never mind i visit your sketch book enough.

[Tigermilk]

hey man, you're really on your way here, looks awesome!

[Demo]

waaaoooo look at all theose beautiful studies those sketches are beautiful and the digital stuff is pretty good too im not sure how far along you are in a digital media stil looks like your beginning to get in to it but those sketches are wonderfully handled the only thing i think might help is defining the edge of one side in your sketches by either line weight or just making sure its a crips line and leaving the others loose like you have it will bring the piece in to more focous and add just a little more depth thats all i have get back to work...no im jk take a break i have no chance of catching up

\
edit..man i cant stop looking at that portrait the tone are really good

I believe your lineart is quite confident stroke. You should try doing a full render using pencil.

o dang more and more. i got to get a camera ur killing me.
on the quicker stuff like the one above try to get at least one focal area
higher detailed then the rest so the eye is intentionally lead.

[AlexTooth]

nice work man, great improvement from page one.

like the digi enviros.

may I ask where you learnt the construction technqiues for your figure stuff? like I can see the lighter drawings underneath - loomis or something?

thanks!

[P]

Demo, thanks for your advice, I guess I'm too dumb to figure that out by myself, I'll try not to forget this in future :D

AlexTooth, thank you. Yes, Loomis, its also Bammes, and I kinda automaticly created it by myself just put everything I learned from other artists.
