** Manuel´s sketchbook **

[Manuel Poehlau]

Hello people.

I am new to this board and this is my first thread.
I work in the games industry as a 3d Artists, but I decided to learn more about drawing and painting in my free time.

So I started this thread here, to watch my progress from now on, and maybe to get some help from this talented community. I think it´s a great place for watching and sharing 2d art.

I will post some sketches soon.

Ok, let´s start. Some quick drawings i made a few days ago.

At the moment I want to see what I can do without any reference. In the next weeks and month i want to start from zero and learn the basics about perspective drawing.
I never took any drawing class, was always just scribbling around without knowing anything about the technical/theoretical stuff. But now I really want to learn drawing and painting and go back to the basics.

I like the girl with the ball – loads of energy. Keep drawing.

Don’t worry about lack of comments; it’s the view count that matters. Your sketch book is for you to see your progress; comments are a bonus.

Hey Manuel :D Willkommen!

I see lots of potential in your drawings! Like the second and third post most :) Especially the eyestudies.. i mean the closeup on the eyes... with ps i guess, huh? Really nice. Try to work more like that. Improve your digi-skills and loads of anatomiestudies!

You're definately on the right track! Keep going!! ;D
