| Seth's sketches |

[seth1]

Another sketchbook, another journey. Lets see where this one takes me. Feel free to critique, there most welcomed.

here Ill post works from still life's. I'm Going to start simple, then slowly work my way to complex still life's. Hopefully learning about Lighting, composition, value, form, perspective etc along the way.

Each day I will pick an Object to Sketch. I will use pencil first, then off to digital. I may do some traditional Acrylic study's as well. I will try to do more pencil then digital work, I feel my pencil and observation skills there are lacking compared to my digital. I will try to tighten up my lines/rendering in the pencil as best as I can.

Thanks for taking the time to drop by and read.

Seth

It begins.

Hey this looks like its going to be a very cool sketchbook. So far with what you have it appears you have a exceptional amount of skill. You have done a really great job in showing the materials through the highlights and texture. I will definatley come back here later and check out what you have done! The only gripe I have is with the digital paint of the boot the red cloth seems to draw attention away from the focus.

[seth1]

jimboslutstien• Thanks for dropping by and taking a look. I agree with you there about the cloth taking away from from the main Vocal. I was going to change up the cloth today but I wanted to paint a bit more with it. I might change it tomorrow to a dark blue.

Arghh, I had so much trouble with this boot. I must have re painted it at least 5 times and I am still way way off. Shows how much I need to learn Good thing I started life drawing.

[seth1]

Here are some scribbles. I can not believe how hard it's for me to draw shoes.

[seth1]

Fruit? I need to learn how to draw.

[Texahol]

about how much time are you reserving/spending on these?
looking good man, i think i should start to do the same soon :P

[seth1]

Texahol• About an Hour and a bit. Once I nail down the Lines, and values on the sketch it does not take me to long to throw colors on top.

Blah, Haha. I need to study perspective, and proportion..

[Aveh]

Hey seth, good stuff you got goin man.

My only issue is the red is super strong in the two boots.

[the ANGRY filipino]

wonderful pencilled apple on the first post!
I noticed that some of your sketched pieces look better than some
of your painted pieces, the painted ones look a bit too dark sometimes..
like the boots.
But still, you have skills!

[seth1]

Aveh• Thanks for drooping by.

the ANGRY filipino• Noted thanks.

I decided to put the life study's aside and whole hearty dedicate my time to the Human figure, and perspective. I want to be able to draw every muscle every angle, from memory with out reference. I am working through Bridgman Constructive anatomy right now. Let's see what I can learn from him.

[seth1]

I should probably upload art to, because I do have alot of it.. For now I guess ill show you guys some photography. Taken with my crappy little cam. I have always enjoyed photography it keeps my mind at peace, as with art.

[DanielC]

good work monsieur seth !
keep working !

[Hauxe]

I have a soft spot for abandoned buildings- so nice photography. I like the idea of posting an observation sketch in your book quite frequently. I also like to see that your mixing this book up with other pieces of artwork. Nicely done.

[Peetaer]

Those cool photographs. Really like the sketched stuff as well. Nice Bridgeman studies. On that note... I'm gonna go do some myself!

[seth1]

Dan, thanks man. I hope you are doing good, and school treating you well.

alleluia: :) Glad you like the shabby photography. Life study's are a good way to improve your over all drawing skills and observation. Some thing I need to learn to do better, Observe. Thank you for the comments.

Peetaer: Woot, awesome get going on those Bridgman he is great. Thanks for drooping by.


A bunch of sketches and older work. The Oc work is all under 15 minutes most of it is brain less farts.

[Fireflights]

That last one is really awesome. The woman in the cowboy hat looks like her legs are a bit too thin, as well as her arms.

[kidult]

Looking sharp!

[Rumi]

i like your photos a lot. want to see more.

[Inkfish]

Great sketches,i especially like your studies from life and fxddfsdbi6.jpg rocks too!

[seth1]

Fireflights, Thanks for dropping by mate. I have to agree with you a bit and disagree with you a little to, because she did have a small frame. I should of paid more attention to my rendering, I think I flattened the form in places. I will watch my proportions more.

kidult, Phhft, You are looking fine and dandy your self. Thanks mate.

Rumi, Here are some more photos just for you! I hope you like them.

Thank you so much Inkfish. Glad you could drop by.

A couple more pictures and some scribbles.

[seth1]

Quick Oc sketches with Pie. Also A sketch I am working on.

[jdeegz]

you've got some great rendering in those portraits and fruit. id love to see you develop a better flow in your people. they seem really stiff, if you can get by that you'll be progressing in no time. your photos are really interesting, an abandoned place i assume? they got some cool lighting.

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=455701&stc=1&d=1220598378

that is really cool, even if you were just dicking around, i like the result.

-Jim

[seth1]

jdeegz, Thanks again for the crits man. I 100% agree on my faces, people looking stiff. It's some thing I am really working hard to smooth out. I think Once I start figure drawing it will smooth out its self.. Gestures, gestures and more gestures.

Some photos from the storm today.

[a la bapsi]

Beautiful black and white photographs.

[seth1]

a la bapsi, I am glad you like those photos they where defiantly fun to take. I took 100 pictures that day but that is pretty easy to do when your snapping away happily. Thanks for dropping by.

Well I totally messed up the Initial sketch. Not so much proportion wise but angles. I started playing around with rendering in different areas. Playing with different hatching methods, building up values. In other parts I would try to nail the value in the first go, but it gave me a very inconsistent grain and value. I may work on it for a bit longer, having to much fun with the rendering.

Edit: A couple Gestures.

[Silvenon]

Wow, I like the faces really much :)

[Dile_]

wow haha! you're coming along so good! nice values + i love these photos

[PieMonster]

The OC session earlier today was great! Those gestures are looking good man. One thing you could work on is your faces, they're often quite a bit out of proportion/or the features look a bit unnatural. Nothing a couple of Loomis head studies won't fix, hehe. I'll upload that OC session we had the other week in my sketchbook later. :D

[seth1]

Silvenon: You're to kind dude. Thanks for dropping by.


Dile_: Yeah right dude. I have so far to go and so much to learn. Cheers though. Take care Will.

PieMonster: I agree dude. You fucking riped shit up dude. Lets say it again you have improved like a crazy man on fire. haha.. I always skew my drawing and faces. Vrooom, I have to study Loomis again though it has been far to long and I finally was able to get his books. Thanks for the crits they will be looked after.



Just some Scribbles scribbles with shity values yay.. :)

[jordyskateboardy]

Woot incredibly awesome work. I really like the oc sketches and pics!

[Nibras]

Your photographs are wow.... i never really understand photography but yours are just so awesome, the whole mood and setting its crazy!
And the drawings are sooooooo awesome
life drawing is very very helpful
try doing it everyday even if your doing anatomy
And keep it up with all the anatomy studies !
keep it up!

[jedininjaman]

woah photos are sweet, love it
and I think you are simplifying the skin too much in your pencil renders, look at some photos or real life examples and skin will seem a lot more complex with subtle value changes every bit
just something to look out for
-jedi

[mentler]

Strong New Book

5 Bones

[seth1]

jordyskateboardy, You are to kind man. I need to get out more often so I can take more photos. Thanks for checking out my book.

lilnebo, Hehe, there is nothing to it really. What ever catches your eye take a few pictures of it from different angles and hope for the best. Lots of experimenting and a strong light source helps. I have a cheap digital camera to Olympus Fe-210. I will defiantly try to draw from life every day. Ill get a little sketchbook from the dollar store for that. Thanks I hope you're doing well.

jedininjaman. I am glad you like them. Thanks for the crits man I will try to pay more attention to the delicate value shifts. Moreeee studyssss wooo...

Michael, How are you doing man? I see every thing is going strong on your end. I heard the dvd is going to be out soon, Ill have to pick up a copy.

I will try to drop by every body sketch book when I have a chance. it's hard to do with Dial up though with every one being so image heavy witch is a good thing.


A fat lady. I have to work on it some more, but I thought I would post. A screen grab from the Oc session I had with Pie the other day. My scanner did not pick up the lightest values

[jdeegz]

i dig it all, again, haha.

i think you could get a better scan of the chubby, or just adjust the levels and crop it abit. i dig your rendering, im going to have to watch you do some of these on OC =D

[seth1]

jdeegz, Phhft you don't have to lie :blind: Took your advice and croped it a bit thanks. We will Oc soon..

Blah. Did not turn out as well as it should of have. It ended up screwy on a few parts. Moreeeeee drawings.

[seth1]

Not to happy with what I have so far. I am going to have to play around with my scanner because It's not picking up a lot of the values. I think the settings are set to only pick mid tones out. . Haha I croped the legs/feet off one. I will have to fix them and some other problems.

Work in progress.

Edit. I played around with scanning last night. mmm this looks a little better.

[DannySketch]

i really like the way you handled the values in the digi face paint in post 34, your pencil studies are also looking a little bit lovely.

keep going man, thanks for sharing.

[paran0id]

Nice lady in the last post but the lower legs seem strange.
Don't you do some loose sketches? Post some. =)

[seth1]

DannySketch: Thanks a ton Danny. Glad you liked that little scribble.

paran0id: I am having real trouble with the bottom legs not quite understanding the foreshortening but it's getting there. Here is some sketches for you.

Doodling away. I am renovating my mothers kitchen right now and she wants a huge ass apple tree painted on one of the walls. Once I finish I might take some pictures.

[Joce]

thanks seth for the advise. i am trying to keep it back and white. till i get better at values.

[PieMonster]

Nice man! Faces are looking much better from what I can tell.
We gotta do an OC session again soon!

[realextension]

cool photographs seth and your last pencils are great. keep em coming bud. do you plan to use any of the photos as ref?

[Carbono]

Your shading is great, as well as your anatomy... Good pieces!
Keep it up!

[thespianmonsalvo]

Your portraits and studies are amazing. Lovely work.

[QETALIVAN]

Nice pencils....I loved the photos from the storm.....

[jigokuen]

Good work! You're definitely on the right track with all these studies, and it fees like you are learning from every piece that you do.

For your figure work, I would try to solidify forms more that concentrated on pretty rendering. It looks nice, but gives no real impression that you understand the structure underneath. Maybe it would help you to find some reference to work off of that has stronger light and shadow patterns, and you cna explore how shadow shapes help explain the figure.

Also keep in mind that checking the relationships/proportions of the figure while you're drawing. I always forget what I'm doing half way through, and before you know it, I have a tiny head on a huge torso.

Keep it up.

[seth1]

Joce: You're doing good so far man keep up the good work. Thanks for dropping by.

PieMonster: Hurry Get on Hamachi. I am on right now :P Thanks man.

realextension: hey man. Thanks for the kind words. I might do a few studies from the photos I took but probably not. The photography is more of a time killer if I am going for hikes or walking around. I try to bring the camera with me where ever I go.

Carbono: Glad you think so mate. Working hard to get my anatomy and hatching up there. Thanks.

thespianmonsalvo: They are far from amazing thanks though. I still have a long ways to go.

QETALIVAN: I wish I was able to take photographs when it was raining but my camera would of been ruined. The storm was pretty cool. Washed away are road and flooded are basement. hah.

jigokuen: Yeah man, defiantly starting to pick up more now that I am drawing every day. Things become clearer, and you end up picking subtle things up well drawing and looking at reference. I think it also has a lot to due with the fact that I am observing way more and trying to make sense of what I am drawing. I agree man, I dunno why I always pick reference with crappy lighting and weak shadows. I could add my own interpretation to the drawing but right now I am trying to keep as close to the reference as possible but soon ill break free of that habit. Ha-ha, proportions are funny, I'm really working hard on them. Thanks for taking the time to crit man.



Couple quick things this morning. Been playing around with my sleep schedule less sleep more drawing kinda thing.

[marioucci]

Man! your photography. Jesus H Christ!

It has such Nostalgic dementia to it. Like Tarkowsky's Work. The power of the light invading the rottening environments. Incredibly powerful.

On your Sketching work, It lacks the light invading it. I can see only the off focus dark areas applied and the Subtly colorful lights missing. It seems to me you stop your sketches before applying the final pass of central focal point and sharp light.

Dont get me wrong, I love what you are saying in these 2 pages, but you are loud and clear with the photos and only whispering in your sketches.

Keep it up man

Mario

[realextension]

seth, I have a rule I follow, maybe it will help you too in your difficulties with the proportions: first I paint the silhouette in just one color (could be gray) and usually this part is very important for me and I don't start the color/value process until the silhouette fills natural. if you have this right, the rest is much easier as you only put colors in this area. a secondary step could be to cover only the major values first. leave the blending to the end, or (like in my case :)) don't worry about it too much. the artists I admire the most are those who are using few strokes of value and manage to express in a few strokes what others blend for hours. and I'm sure this will be useful later when we'll stop using refs :)

[tor]

I'm diggin on the front on one, the eyes are a tad creepy...alien, in a good way-
sleep deprivation makes for an interesting experiment in perception and control-
I think it helps with colour tho...everything tends to be a bit like when your on something...:sungod:

[PieMonster]

Dude, those SP's are freakin awesome. Especially the front view one.
Keep it up man. :D

[humanNature6115]

Great digi Pencils.

[Earendil]

Do you take photos of yourself, and the draw those for the self portraits? The values seem a little off on those last few, but really amazing work dude. How do you set up/sit for your self portraits? I'm never sure how to arrange my tablet/monitor/mirror.

[seth1]

Earendil: For the second portrait I took a picture. Right now I have a mirror right in front of me and my monitor off to the side then I put a pillow in my lap with my tablet. I took a picture to show you. Heh, you got me camera happy and I took a few more pictures. Thanks for dropping by.

humanNature6115: Thanks mate, I'm glad you like them. That is quite the sketchbook title. :P

PieMonster: Woooo, glad you like them man. You had me inspired to do a couple sp's. Get posting...

tor: Why hello there. It's amazing what can come out of you when you're deprived of sleep. I think in a couple more Months I might start to learn color but right now I am really trying to focus on Values. Taking little baby steps. Thanks for checking out my Sketchbook.

realextension: Wow, thanks man. Ill give your technique a whirl and see how it works. Yeah brush economy is some thing I am really working on. Robogabo has it down to a science.

marioucci: That was a huge compliment my friend thank you. I will really try to push my lighting from here on in. Maybe this new piece is a start?

A couple pictures, and errr some monster thingy.

[DanielC]

keep going man !

[seth1]

Daniel: Thanks man I will keep pushing my self. :hugsmile:


A couple things

[Joce]

yeah dude. i sketch my subject. then i go fill it in. how do you go about painting? thanks for the comment

[seth1]

Joce: It really depends on the subject matter and how I feel. Most time's I start off with the sketch then throw a wash of gray over, Build my values up and pick out my highlights. Other times, I will start with a huge brush and just throw things down real quick, with a light color then define it from there. Lots of experimenting going on. I am still at that stage where I am trying to find what works best for me. Thanks for dropping by.

Some quick Sp sort of thing wip?

[PieMonster]

Nice Bridgeman studies! :D
For the last one: The left (for us) cheek is much wider than the other, and the nose is too small. Other than that, it's nice.
Keep it up man!

[seth1]

PieMonster: Thanks dude. I was not to worried with proportion just having fun.


Another dooodle.

Edit update.

[Joce]

thanks man. I appreciate the encouraging words.

[Silvenon]

Wow, very nice idea on that last one! Pretty cool SB, like it :)

[seth1]

Joce: No problem man. Keep on pushing your self.

dawn. Thanks girly. Glad to see you drooped by.

Silvenon: I am trying. :oneye:

Another doodle.

[seth1]

Having troubles with drawing two eyes. Lol. Work in progress.

[tor]

I like the combination portrait style of these sketches-
They seem a bit darker than your other sketches (content not tone)
Also have to say that your photos are also really cool - Just had a better look at them
The ones of the apples and golf ball...love it
checked out your ref pics too :bashful: you should retake them on a tripod and fix the lighting...just from a technical point of view...:^^:

[jedininjaman]

Great work, those last pencils remind me of something wes or danielC would do which is a huge compliment, just keep refining and you will get there eventually
-jedi

[Nibras]

Wow man!
talk aboit improvment!
That stuff is looking kickass!
those b.man studies are really paying of!
the rendering techinque from your studies is coming into your drawings which is awesome!
That last sketch is a heck of a jump!
Keep it up like this bro!

[seth1]

tor: You're right the content is getting darker :donk: I might invest in a tripod later down the road. For now I guess those will have to make justice. Thanks for the kind comments :steph:

jedininjaman: heh, I am going for the gold. Thanks man.

lilnebo: Yeah Man bridge man kicks ass. I see you are studying him to witch is awesome. I love his wedging technique it makes prefect sense to. thanks for taking a peek.

Real quick doodles.

[Nibras]

I demand more?
YES MORE! PLEASE OR I@LL DIE!
haha
keep up the good work man!
I'd recommened more anatomy studies
Your doing alot of portraits now but its getting into that comfy zone you get me :P
So do more full bodies and study study study!
keep it up!

[seth1]

Linebo: Thanks miss will do.

Random sketch, I might work on it move solve some problems fix some edges. Worked a little more on the other one.

[seth1]

Seth, I'm not dead, and I still love you!

Great stuff man, showing some real improvement.

Your pencils are sick. 5*

Keep at it, love :D

[seth1]

Kanoa: No I love you more :asspat: Good to hear your still kicking. You need to post some art. I am sure you will blow me away.

Some quick Alchemy fun.]

[seth1]

More of the same.

[SuRR]

I especially like your sketches of faces. And those ear studies! Ears are hard..

And those alchemy pieces have some awesome linework.

[jedininjaman]

good work man I am impressed by the ears
clean up your rendering just a little bit and your pencils will rock, you have all of the design just needs a little more precision
and the ears look great too
keep it up man and stop by sometime
-jedi

[seth1]

SuRR: Thanks man. Glad you think so.

jedininjaman: Hey thanks for dropping by. I will defiantly drop by and check out your Sb.

A couple things.

[seth1]

Messing around. Some sketcher doodles then Flipped and duplicated the drawings in Photoshop.

A self portrait to.

[Knarf]

simply impressive, superb values (something I need to work on more).

[Jacky-Boy]

Cool SB, you've got a good combination of detailed studies, and cool ideas.
Personally I'd like to see a few more forays into colour,

The apple still life, shows you've got a good eye for colour already, but it'd be cool to see colour in some of your other works, especially those alchemy sketches.

[jedininjaman]

sweet ear and thumbs this guy is supreme (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=480516&stc=1&d=1222973352)
great works man
all of the variety here is cool sort of like me lol always trying new stuff keep at it man
-jedi
(enjoy the stars btw)

[seth1]

Alm0st: You're to kind. Take care.

Jacky-Boy: Hey man. Thanks for the words. Right now I am still learning values. Not going to get into color right yet but it will come. Thanks again.

jedininjaman: Got to keep it fresh and trying new things all the time. You can learn a lot from Experimenting. Thanks for taking a peek man. Going to go reply in your sketch book right now. I always drop by but never reply.

Just playing around. Ear study and some dude.

[jedininjaman]

haha these ears are getting ridiculous :asskisser:...
I love these (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=480111&stc=1&d=1222932478) gestures -did you use reference? you should expand the industrial one maybe
but ya keep it up and thanks for stopping by.
-jedi

[Jasper_]

Haha those ear studies are sick. Once you can work values like that into your imaginative stuff your going to be making some kick ass pieces. Keep it up dude

[DeeLock]

You're improving really quickly!

Keep it up!

:cheerleader:

[seth1]

jedininjaman: Hello again. How are you doing? Thanks for the compliments. A couple of them where done from artists chars then the rest are from head.

Pyroclasm00: One day man, one day,. Thanks for taking a peep.

DeeLock: Woot. * dances around the room. Grabs the cat and pretends it's a pom-pom. Thanks dude.

Some quick heads in sketcher. There pretty lazy as I am pulling an all nighter and my brain wants to give up on me. Some quick heads well experimenting with brushes.

Just for the heck of it here is the full size they where drawn at. I kinda like these faces. You can see they are pretty sketchy.

[Nibras]

Awesome
you've been improving eh!
No really you've been improving like.... crazy!
thats what i like to see man!
Keep them studies and drawings coming :D

[DanielC]

Keep it up dude :]

[catface]

Damn dude chill out and take a break once in a while you freakin insomniac. :P

Like I said before, sexy ears. The last sp is a little too dark for my taste, hard to make it out. Keep workin on those gestures Bridgeman is nutritious and delicious.

[seth1]

lilnebo: hey jooo. Thanks for drooping by in my little world. You keep plugging away to.

Dan, dan. Pokes... Thanks man.

Kanoa. I want to see if I can go da vinci sleep style and just take naps for 15 minutes when I can't keep my eyes open any longer. Every time I do that I fall asleep and don't wake back up again. :wtf: here are some more ears and bridgman studies for you...


Ear's, ear's./ Bridgman, bridgman. <<<<LETS DO IT>>>>>

[Knarf]

I wish you can do all of my ears for me. Just another thing I have to add to my long lists of things to work on..
-Frank needs Spanks

[Aveh]

You seem to be working away.
Any new news on the atelier or what

Keep it goin.

[jedininjaman]

bravo on your dedication to studies
I havent done some serious studies in a while...
but ya very admirable, but you should relax a little and do some freestyle stuff
;)
either way keep chuggin I like making regular stops here
-jedi :)

[seth1]

Alm0st: Hey man it would be ab honor to paint some ears for you :assspank: but if I do that you will have to paint a couple ears in return. Take care Frank the SPANK....

Aveh, Hey man. keep on pushing those anatomy study there looking good. No reply back from the Atelier yet. I have sent them 5 e-mails, it looks like Ill just have to phone them.

jedininjaman: Heh, Thanks mate. Oh I do keep it fresh with lots of doodle I just dont end up posting those as much. When ever I am doing studies I have another canvas open or paper so I can sketch when the studies get boring. Keeps me on focus and in pace. Thanks for poking your head around my corner.

Some more studies.

[themissinglink]

sweet sketchbook, keep up with the bridgman studies, they are looking good. the ear and nose studies are strong too. keep up the good work.

[seth1]

themissinglink: Will do thanks man..

Real quick nose paints and some hogarth gestures, Min each. Plus some random doodles.

[kidult]

Great studies - where do the nose ones come from? looks like a bust peice

[seth1]

kidult: :) Woot. There 3d models I found on Cgtalk awhile back. Thanks for the love.

Self portrait and a crop of a wip

effin sweet progress you´re making!

[Dan Valkar]

great studies man!, those noses and lips r freakin' sweet...keep it up!!

Dan Valkar: heh, Glad you like them dude.

More doodles and more progress on the last image.

You're something special bud. Keep up the great work.

[kikindaface]

It's really cool man ! I love the way your putting masses on your digital paintings! keep up good work :)

Excellent updates
I think the nose totem is awesome

[seth1]

Spats: Haha, thanks dude. I made a picture just for you. I Have not seen you online in awhile. Going to check your Sketch book right away :sungod:

Walid D: Hey bud. Thanks for the words. Glad you passed through the doors of doom to check out my sb,.

Studiesssss, WOOOOOOO. Almost done noses, then eyes, after eyes full casts of the head.

[Nettle_Mountain]

Really good studies and pencilwork, no clear critique here expect some colour would be nice too. Your digital seems to be bit messy sometimes, maybe because then it was quick?

keep posting and read prom's post about values from my page, diamond critique!

[jordyskateboardy]

Wajooow. So much dedication in those awesome studies. Thumbs up.

[seth1]

Nettle_Mountain, Hey dude,. Yeah usually if they are messy they are done really quick. Between 20 minutes and down, just quick doodles. Nothing worth taking to the next step. I saved it on my hard drive it was a wounder full critique.


I tryed to paint the noises as fast as I could. Picking each value out per brush stroke and placing it down where it should go. It took me about 15 minutes.
Playing around with color in sketcher and a quick doodle. Torso studies soon just going to get some more done.

Strange, i havent been here before. This sketchbook is awesome. Most of all ur studies inspired me (damn I need to buy one of those Bridgman books), nice portrait drawing skills! Super! Keep it up!

[realextension]

hey seth, great noses and ears, very nice values. but I feel you limit yourself a bit. when can I see a full figure? keep going buddy

[serio]

Great practise-works!

[Flaskpost]

yeeeeah! curl those pencils bro. :)
looking great!

[geoxen]

I'm liking the Bridgman, and Hogarth practices.

Keep it up :)

[Aveh]

I'm gunna have to agree with realextension. I think your compartmentalizing your studies too much without applying them to the big picture. I think its beneficial to always try to apply what you're studying to at least a full figure if not a full image to really see what you've retained.

Keep pushing man.

[PieMonster]

Great studies lately, definitely got to do some more myself, haha.
Keep going dude!

[Dished]

: O update please ?

[jedininjaman]

It seems like you might be trying to force a bit too much variation in your noses though like the one on the right in the last batch does not seem that accurate
keep it up though mate

[seth1]

pijus: Yeah man you can't not go wrong with studying bridgman. Love his wedging technique.

realextension: Hey duder. I do tons of full figure work either on paper, Photoshop, and or Sketcher. I don't usually save any of it as it's just doodling away. I am far from limiting my self I always try to push my self these study's are just some thing I do to keep my brain moving and trying to build the visual library in my head. Thank you for taking your time to drop by.

Serio, Serio hows it going? Hope all is well for you.

Quick head doodles in sketcher/ http://sketcher.artgrounds.com/conceptart

[Aveh]

Oh seth! I didn't know you were still around. How have you been?! Now that I know youre still posting I'll have to look out for it more often.

By the way, did you ever get into that atelier last year?

[Shadow Stalker]

Subscribed.

[seth1]

Aveh, Hey man. Good to see you still kicking. I hope every thing is going well with you. I actually went for a complete loop, and landed my self in the French foreign legion. I was discharged for 2 years due to my ears. I have Chronic otitis media witch requires surgery. The healing time will take two years to completely able to handle firing a weapon and being around loud noises with out my eardrums exploding. It will be an exciting two years I have planed out. Now every thing has to fall into place. When I was in the army I also took an art test to work for the army's magazine witch went really well. After two years in combat regiment I will be working in the magazine department if I want or it might be some thing I do later in my career we see how I age.

Shadow Stalker, thanks man. Hope to see you in sketcher again. :lifedrawing:

[Mat Kaminski]

Dude your stuff is rockin! :D

[seth1]

I thought I would update with a couple Photographs. I no longer have a tablet. Due to the fact a little menace decided it would be interesting to see how hard he could stab it with the tablet pen over, and over. I have come to conclusion to never let a young lad go unsupervised with A tablet again. Been super busy working, working all sorts of crazy jobs. I ended up getting tendonitis in both hands, so I have a week or so of down time.

These might be a little big I did not save for web or lower the compression.

[seth1]

London Drugs had a clearance sale on there Bamboo's........ Great little tablet.

Quick sketch. May fix a few errors

[Knarf]

Did you get the bamboo with the multitouch buddy? btw how's it going? haven't seen you for a good while.
