EDIT: Thought I'd update post number one for a new thumbnail :)


Well. Hopefully having a place to post my drawing will keep me motivated to hack together a portfolio.

These are all quick sketches that I did today.

It's funny, when I was in highschool I doodled like crazy. But now... not so much. I feel silly sitting down and just drawing whatever I want. In fact, when I was drawing these just now, I was thinking back to what I doodled back then, desperate for some guidance!

[Eurysaces]

Life drawing, plus anatomy study. 2 weeks without thinking about anatomy lead to a ridiculously frustrating time in the open studio/life drawing.

[Eurysaces]

hm. I think I need to start shading my sketches more. The gesture is from 2 weeks ago, before my anatomy derth.

[Jussi Tarvainen]

Eurysaces, really really nice life studies and figure drawings. Also that's an awesome muscle study! Like the shading style you've created for your self. No crits just post more and keep it up!

[Eurysaces]

So, here is another from last night. I've gotta start drawing guys more often.

[the ANGRY filipino]

draw guys, but please dont forget to draw girls as well!

[Eurysaces]

[Eurysaces]

more of the same plus a creature attempt (for COW) thanks to my "hour of failure" where in I draw things I suck at for one hour.
Mysterious people, what do you think? (sorry for the blurry photos)

[Diego]

fantastic sketches dude. I really lliked this one http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=502528&stc=1&d=1225070595 also the figures, very solid.

[naRai]

wow your sketches are awesome, such a routined stroke and the well rendered out portrait in the first post ist just .. GAH .. stunning :D

[grenappels]

thanks to my "hour of failure" where in I draw things I suck at for one hour.

oh my god that is such a good idea, i think im gonna try to have an hour of failure every day from now on...
annyway you've got a really nice style with your lines and the shading in the portrait in the first post is pro so keep updating :)

[Arn J.]

Wow, great stuff! I really like the face of the man!

[Dan Valkar]

lookin forward for more, man!! really cool sketches

[raskull]

I like the drawing of the male head, the rendering is great but the back of the head looks like it's cut off, as if wearing a cap...I see some faint pencil lines that seem indicate some kind on head covering. Is this so?
keep posting!

[Eurysaces]

yeah you're right about the head, I did make it weirdly pointy :/

[Equality72521]

haha awesome start on the sketchbook, i give you cool beans on what you have so far.

I love this one for some reason, it has a great sense of mood

[Eurysaces]

I've been working on this tonight. Trying to actually finish something.... what do you think? It's just a beginning right now. (gosh, do I ever draw heads facing right? yikes)

PS Thank you for all the replies! It's really helpful to know what you do/do not like! More guns and burkas coming for sure.

[Jaytea]

Really like the soft pencil shading on some of these. This last post is fantastic, wonderful coloring. :]

[D*nat]

last post is great, but I really like your pencil work. especially the skull is great!
i'm not that good at anatomy but i think the woman in post 7 has to short legs. i don't know if i'm right. just feels like that to me. nothing else to crit. keep it up. want to see more!

[Eurysaces]

here are some quick-ish poses... sometimes I think I've de-proved. It's hard to tell without some distance and objectivity. I'm planning on applying to some art schools this winter and I'm worried that my now looser (more fun!) figure drawings wont be the evidence of solid underlying construction that they (Calarts) want. :/
If you haven't already, check out: http://www.aaroncoberly.com/ I love, love love his figure drawings.

[Wasker]

cool drawings from life dude.

[TZA]

great pencils, i really like how loose and yet solid they feel. i really wouldn't change your style to get into a certain school, i'm sure they'll be able to see that you've got good construction skills by just looking at your stuff, no matter how loose you feel it is.
can't wait to see more.

[Tigermilk]

Incredible figure drawings man, good grasp of anatomy. Love it.

[grenappels]

you're crazy... those newest figure drawings are phenomenal! art schools should be begging for someone with your skill... then again calarts is pretty competitive isn't it?

[algenpfleger]

Duuuuuude these are rad! You got a good grasp of structure o_o

[raskull]

Just put some kind of cap on the back of his head to round it off and no one will know...I won't tell.

What medium did you use on the color sketches?

[DeathChalupa]

really cool stuff
definitely gonna be watching

[D@niel]

Those are some great drawings man!

[Eurysaces]

Thank you all for your nice replies...really makes my day!
@raskull, for the color sketches (ie the paintings?) I'm using acrylic.

What a frustrating night, I must say. I spent four hours on a bad bad painting, 4 hours!!

Here are a few more, the first one is a copy from ferdinand hodler, a new art hero of mine, you should definately try a google search. The second is a longer pose portrait I did a few weeks ago.

Oh god all you (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1987858#post1987858) talented (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=116258) people (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=120783) have me in a funk!!

Really good studies, keep it up.

[weggebrecht]

Great studies! I really like the looseness you have going on, lots of energy.

Nice work. Really excellent form and line. Me like!

:^^:

[Eurysaces]

Oh god this place is constantly humbling.
So, on the left is one of my attempts at finishing something, too bad I failed to take a photo of the nice drawing it started out as.
And on the right is a 6-8 hour figure drawing I did this summer and just recently pulled out to try and improve the value gradation.

[Bushido]

Hey you have a lot of great stuff in here, absolutly love your pencils!

Greate sb! Post more please!

[Eurysaces]

Man long time no post. I had to take a break from conceptart.org and all the crazy good art. Also taking good photos of my drawings is somewhat dependent on sunshine, which, this being the verdant Pacific North West, is rare now that it's November.
Ok, so I upped the contrast on the pencil, no pencil gets that dark. Critiques always welcome, but thank you all for the nice comments :)

[kev ferrara]

This last one is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for posting.

(No flies on you, as the saying goes.)

[bluez3023]

your line work is great

[Sublimus]

Damn! nice figure work!

[Dan Valkar]

ur pencil renderin' its superb!!! keep postin!!

[SoufMeng]

I dont now what to say but i've got to say something so yeah really, you work is awesome, billions of thanks for posting.

[algenpfleger]

The last one wins! Damn! That's... pencil? O_O Awesome.

[Drone2222]

Life drawing, plus anatomy study. 2 weeks without thinking about anatomy lead to a ridiculously frustrating time in the open studio/life drawing.

Hey, that model on the left - is her name Pidgeon? I'm pretty sure she was my model for many sessions at my school! Very nice, btw.

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

That last one is fantastic! Grafite, charcoal or pencil?

-E

[Eurysaces]

drone2222 yes that is pigeon! I was just at digipen the other day visiting, Maya is so confusing! Your library is so small!!
Thank you! For your nice comments, left so long ago, everyone. :)
mischieviouslittleelf that last one is pencil, I'm just shamefully reliant on photoshop to make my grey photos look halfway decent.

Well, long time no see. I've got loads of stuff though not nearly as much as I should.... oh well. I guess I should stop reading? And I should certainly stop watching frasier on youtube.

I was talking to someone who works as a concept artist and he said that creativity is just research, well. We shall see. I have researched!

What do you think? As far as my more imaginative drawings go my biggest fear is that they look like clicheed fantasy art. Do they? Do you find yourself rolling your eyes?

[aedman]

Fantastic work here, like kev said that portrait is beautiful. There's something really vivid and evocative about your handling of the forms of the body and face. It's also interesting how some of your line character/memory work develops. Good work, I'm certainly going to keep an eye on this sketchbook.

[SamC]

Your rendering is incredible :O

[monsi]

SWEET stuff dude. I love what's happenin with your drawings and all.

Dig it. keep it up!

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

One thing has to be said here, and that is that the life drawing of the model facing forewards to the left is a fantastic one. Really really good form and completion in that one, bravo! I love your use of pencil, and I would have loved to draw that model myself!

[Iddi]

This is just amazing! I'd take your pencil skills any day, those life drawings are just really great.
seeing as I love this style of drawing, you're a great inspiration, so I'll definitely keep checking your SB out, man :)

Those sketches of Yours are becoming so aware and consistent. Walko on that path :)

life drawings are really good.
You have a nice style :)

great portraits/figures!!!

5 stars...

cheers.. :)

[Dolgopolov]

[Stevan]

Excellent pencil work!!!!

[Mr.Razorblades]

Those figure drawings are spot on man. It looks like you got a pretty good grasp on anatomy, something I am struggling with as of now. Keep it up.

[Eurysaces]

Thank you! I do try on the anatomy, so thank you for noticing :)

Here are some more: some tiny kangaroos from the zoo, and a work-camel inspired by a film I watched in a Middle East Studies class called a time for drunken horses. We didn't see the end in class, but here's the Wikipedia Entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Time_for_Drunken_Horses). It's a beautiful and very sad movie from what I saw. The same directer, Bahman Ghobadi, also made marooned in Iraq, which I have seen twice now (somewhat accidentally), and is also a beautiful movie but is sort of a comedy as well, it's funny, but not laugh out loud funny necessarily. Here's the IMBD page (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317226/).
...and finally some random awkwardly posed guy (and friend?) I drew while practicing arms, check out the bicep disappearing underneath the deltoids! And, o.m.g, the lovely twist of the brachio-radialis!

Well, I will say it. I am feeling tres nervous. (read panicked)
I have to apply to school!
And by tuesday I need something coherent involving a prop a vehicle an environment and a character.
I feel like I latch onto my original ideas and have trouble moving on. So that I don't really do thumbnails progressively leading up to a finished idea, I just spit the idea out and then do a few stupid thumbnails to make myself feel better. hmmm
Honestly I have no idea what I am doing. How do you combine believability with originality?

Does picking the feel and images count? I mean honestly what creative things can you do with a desert?

aw what happened to the 5 stars? it was totally deserved.

Great stuff in here, i really enjoy some of the drawings

keep working

[algenpfleger]

Ooooh you have a good understanding of form o_o I like it. Those armor designs are cool.

[Eurysaces]

Thank you, for the reassurances. :)
Here are some of my Illiad ideas. I'm going for desert, vague/contradictory time period, napoleon-esque/ancient greek costumes plus modern warfare, where the trojan horse is a nuclear bomb. um...
WHAT DO YOU THINK? too simple? Too seemingly copied from the history books?

assorted sketches, playing with Aphrodite, Helen (the lady with the ridiculous marie antoinette hair) and my trojan horse/weapon of mass destruction

540701
Aphrodite, i'm not sure how i feel about the design, i'm aiming for pope/burka

540703
Athena!

540707
and... some life drawings, these are both the same pose ~5-7 mins each (12 mins total), one is pencil, one is ball point pen. I was trying to refrain from over rendering.

Beauty !! :O Those pencil, wow! The portrait of the girl with hat in the previous page is beautiful.
Your Aphrodite is nice, but she doesn't really reads like a godess of beauty, love, germination and pleasure! :D Too much clothes maybe? Haha! Dunno..
Keep sharing these beautiful figure drawings of yours, and have 5 stars from me!

yea, i like your style
especially the last two pencil studies are rocking hot
just can say keep going :)

I hear you with the life drawing.. Despite the fact that I have a job in the industry and have been doing quite well, I still have to go back to the basics.
Tonight is my first life drawing class after many, many years..
Looking sweet, your stuff.

[Eurysaces]

Thank you all for your nice comments!
I apologize for the bad photos that follow
What do you think of Agamemnon? I honestly thought I was so clever making Agamemnon look like Napoleon, but I discovered that NO some costume designer in the 1900's beat me to it (and did so with an awesome picasso-esque drawing). :(
Applying to school is so stressful!

[jeremygordon89]

argh GODDAMNIT, you have such a great feeluing for rendering and form, it's not even funny :D

Awesome work all the way, loving all the figurative stuff!!

[Aaron Death]

Love your drawings, that portrait of zak in the first post is so good, very nice shading, and the last portrait is good too. Keep it up

[Eurysaces]

Here are some photoshop attempts. I am so frustrated with it right now! I keep wanting to blame things like my computer, my tablet, my RAM, my CPU, my moniter, the humidity, the temperature etc etc. :( As a result what you see here are all with the default brush (squashed)! and I have given up on painterly and am aiming for screenprint/graphic.
The first is just whatever trying to draw something easy to limit the difficulty variables, the second is after a sorolla painting "Maria with Hat". ugh..
...The final three are with my beloved REAL LIFE media and are copies of Sargent paintings inspired by a beautiful ink sketch that Sam Weber or Edward Kinsella did... So they're like, master copies times two! :) In real life they are really tiny, which is why the scanned versions look so chunky.

[theUNKNOWNsketcher]

Great works!

[Eurysaces]

here are some quick gestures (1 minutes) and a 3 hr painting. I've finally finished applying to school--yay!

[Gloominati]

loving the lastf ew gestures man, awesome energy in those lines!!

[Eurysaces]

Thank you!
Here's something I did with graphite dust :) graphite dust is super fun. I don't know about doubling it like i did :/

[Imaginary]

I think doubling it was a great idea, looks more intersting this way (i cut it in half in PS just to check xD). :D

[Kasper_P]

Wow good stuff! I really like the last three in #96.

[Eurysaces]

Hmm, I don't know about graphite dust... back to good old plain pencils

here's a work in progress and some fun little sketches on nice paper.

I'm a big fan of your life drawings, simply amazing. I can see a bold confidence in your drawing. Very nice!

Amazing life drawings on the frontpage.

[JesArt]

Wow, to be only 18, your figure drawings are amazing, very amazing, I hope to meet you one day bro, keep em coming.

[Kim_bot]

Great life drawings! Are you really only 18??
My only crit is that you skimp on the feet sometimes (not feet with shoes, but naked feet).
Keep it up!

[Eurysaces]

Kim_bot yea, you are probably right, I was told once when I was 20 (yes I am older than 20!) that I needed to do a page of feet to round out my portfolio... i never did do that.
JesArt Thank you, but I am not 18, I am 22. Yes I know, I am old to still be a student but, to each their own! It took me awhile to figure out that art is important to the world and that it is pretty much the only thing I truly love to do and want to do for the rest of my life. If you ask, I will get very sappy and share with you all my motivational books/videos re: art :D
Pigeonkill Thank you
[LITTLE-FEET] Thanks

[Vorace]

pure beauty here!!

[NextToNothing]

You get so much information down in your gestures, they're really impressive. Absolutely loving that last batch of 3 min poses in #97. Your longer poses are also fantastic from a page or two back.

Don't know if you've read it but, Practice and Science of Drawing has some really neat information about the impact of lines in shading based on their orientation, not a critique or anything as your line work and shading are both great, it just might be an interesting read.

[JS Neo]

Incredible work!! I am a total fan of ur life drawing. Your line control is so good.. Are they all from life or imagination? Personally i problems drawing figures from imagination. End up with millions of construction lines and a mess haa. Any advice to gain more confidence in my line work?

Ur shading is also amazing. what is ur shading method to get such quality? Hatching or using the side of the pencil or a combination of both? Do you smudge it down?

Sorry for all my questions but i want to be as good as u :)

[kevinwueste]

a great sense of rhythm and line ! the high heels are super nicely done as well.. over 20 ? over the hill ? hah ( i won't tell you how old I am!).. keep up the great work ! -kw

[ThabisoMhlaba]

I'd kill for that sort of control over my lines. excellent Sketchbook. Great figure drawings and gestures

And good luck with your applications. Don't think you'll need it though =D

[Josef K.]

awesome work man! your lineweight is great - i love theese figures (http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=607157&stc=1&d=1235953008) - amazing style and lines! keep sharing!

[AztcFireFlower]

Really nice stuff in here.
I wouldn't even worry about whether your work will make the grade. The understanding will be seen. I think you'll always keep the structure (which is good) but the emphasis will be on design. Will be interesting to see how you choose your direction and how your work matures. It's already very very strong. There is alot of understanding & knowledge you are infusing in your figures. And the design sense keeps your work interesting. Not easy to do (esp, for me) :)
This one is quite beautiful
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=534150&d=1228458532
Really love how you employ the shadows in a clear but soft render. Much thought put into your edges. This is a goal of mine to display my unique view on design without sacrificing or at least intelligently losing the structure if it calls for it.
You are definitely one to watch.

Josef K. thank you, I've been working on line weight
Oki Thanks, I am just biding my time by the mail box at this point
kevinwueste ha, thanks
Mydrako Thank you! I wouldn't sweat the construction lines in the beginning. For awhile I began all my life drawings by sketching in the rib cage and pelvis. Only after I did that for awhile did I start to let it go, little by little. I think it's important to force yourself to be strict about proportion etc for awhile, while you are understanding the basic shapes made by anatomy an how the figure is put together (simply), but ultimately, at some point you have to just let go of analyzing what you see and allow yourself to focus on enjoying the process of drawing it.

I do everything! I smudge, I hatch I hella use the side of the pencil! No technique is off limits :D An instructor of mine once told me that you should let the pencil push and pull and rise and fall through space as if you were sculpting the figure with your pencil... at the time I thought that was more artsy fartsy mystical language, than helpful advice... but now, I think there is something legitimate in thinking of your pencil as rising and falling with the figure.

NextToNothing Thanks, I love the Practice and Science of Drawing, I love Harold Speed!

high heels are seriously awesome, ridiculous footwear.

[Pigeonkill]

Normally I have a pet peeves about small smudges on the paper on figurative work. When it could be easily avoid with another sheet of paper as a hand rest.

For some reason I don't mind the smudges too much in your drawings. I notice some smudging in your cross hatching which gives it a nice charcoal like effect. Almost like softness lightening. Was that intentional? I like the slightly bended values on her face

Finally finally watched the end of audition, it is way less creepy than it would have been had i watched it in context... instead, it was not nearly as awful as I had imagined it.

[Penumbra]

Your drawings are elegant and I love to see drawings that are executed with abandon, smudges and all.

I really like what your doing! Especially the figures and red/white character sketches. Reminding me to loosen up abit the next time i hit the figure studio.

hey! Thank you for your comments :)
So I finally got a new computer... I am so happy!
and have been practicing in photoshop... which has been frustrating.
So... here are two of essentially the same head... but one with levels adjusted and one without... I'm not sure which one I prefer... what are your thoughts?

also... why are they fuzzy? because I accidentally resized them smaller... worked on them for awhile and then wondered why 100% was so small and so upsized them... thus they are a little fuzzy. shame I know... I am learning!

[RokasButkys]

Woah ! your lines are brilliant.

Please share more :)

[annisnaeem]

Hey there! Glad we found each other on the internet :)
your sketchbook looks great! thanks for the comment.
I'm really impressed by your figures. You should look into character design some more- and apply it to that if you'd like to do entertainment design. I think you would do great.

[BRINKMAN!]

I'd say jacket and hair from the second one and skin tones from the first!

More photoshop! I don't know.... trying my hand at something semi ridiculous. It is weirdly hard to judge proportions on a screen.

I cant really read the form in the last image, it feels abit like a large silhouette drawing, but I'll check back once its more polished.

most of your stuff rocks, but you probably knew that already. :)

[el coro]

wow really like your drawings. beautiful stuff.

Love the flow in your lines. you handle both graphite and ink masterfully...not to mention that your proportions are a-ok in my opinion :)

I finally took a photo of something! I did this last night... after I completely dumped over my o.m.s, stepped on my pallete box, tripped over my water bottle and then proceeded to trip (and fall down dramatically) going up the stairs. Uuuugggh.

This was pretty quick.. maybe an hour and a half at most... I've been reading William Morris Hunt and he talks about getting a simple impression right away and then once you don't know what to do... just stopping. don't fuss around with no idea of where you are going (with your painting). I couldn't resist doing that a little, but I tried to stop myself before I began that arduous process of fixing something that doesn't really need it, only to spend the next 10 minutes trying to fix your fix.

here's the quick one i did after realizing I had no idea what to do for the other one

oh man thank you for all your nice comments!
I totally just got a scanner... hopefully this will make updating way easier and thus way more frequent... now I just need to limit myself to paper that actually fits in my scanner :P
I am admittedly a little obsessed with space suits right now... if you haven't seen it and if it's playing in your area, for real, go see sleep dealer! (nothing to do with space suits.. but everything to do with WIRES, wires everywhere :D)

You're cheating in the first post sure brought me by. I might even keep an eye or two on this thread, some really interesting stuff! This (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=708350&d=1246057411) one is my favourite so far, but I haven't looked through all pages yet.

[Vloth]

whooah, this thread inspired me. I love your style, truthfully I do. It's really loose and sketchy but still brings forth the important lines and features which gives your drawings a character. I'll be looking forward to updates! :)

[Eurysaces]

more photoshop. god I love you photoshop. someday, somehow I hope you will love me back.
based on a gorgeous pose from this morning's figure drawing that I totally flunked via pencil.

[Ink Fish]

awesome stuff. Love the blocky painting of the girl on post 150 and all the life drawings

[Zarahn Southon]

Some nice lifedrawing dude...you've inspired me to tackle Photoshop..gulp

[kickflipjohny]

waw that last one is trully awesome!

[Jabo]

Those life drawings are inspiring, very loose and characteristic.

[hitnrun]

lovin' your work - especially the more refined value studies. The last one is a tad on the scary side - if someone was giving me a look like that I'd probably go hide under my bed or something.. Sort of like how kids assume if they can't see someone, said someone cannot see the child.

[iwaswrong]

you are phenomenal to me. i really love your style.

[3bleadpencil]

Thanks for Sharing....I admire the subtleties on your life drawings...

Cheers

[xinranliu]

AWESOME looseness and energy!
especially that ink piece! i demand updates :P

[luness]

Beautiful work. The strokes are so bold and rich, and the gesture lines are so full of life, with such personality. Yum, yum, what a delight looking at your sketchbook. I'm definitely checking your website.

Cheers!

[midknight523]

really liking the latest pieces.
the whole SB is impressive

[Eurysaces]

I'm frustrated by what I'm working on in maya, so I thought I'd post an update!
I'm trying to throw together something that looks more finished... here's a composition/idea try out.

PS, thank you all for the kind comments :) will be checking out your sketchbooks pronto ;)

[BranFlakes]

Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed looking through this sketchbook. Your figures are beautiful. 5*'s from me and I'm going to keep my eye on this one.

[Enydimon]

Really loving this. You need to update more!

[Eurysaces]

yay! figures and ground! I'm excited. :/ next stop color, or perhaps, a ground that consists of more than just two planes and an accompanying window.
