REALLLLLLLLLLLLY OLD

Hey CA, Ill introduce myself I'm a 16 yr old kid living down under, my dream is to be a concept artist when I finish my education or at least have an occupation that has something to do with art. Ive been a lurker for awhile and finally decided to start my own sketchbook

Here is my very first attempt at digital art, finally pushed my self to try it out and its probably the most fun Ive had with art in a long time. It's a colour study using a ref, I made the mistake of using a semi low resolution and it came back and bit me on the arse when I was detailing the face and hands. Tomorrow I should upload a few other pencil sketches

Crits are appreciated

Sketchz

[Dilated]

shadow and light study

[EBrown]

The standing lady could use some help anatomically. Legs are off.

Try some studies with simple objects to get the hang of color, light, and just the way digital painting works. I'm pretty sure the official starter subject in digital painting here at ConceptArt is the apple, haha.

[thrilafrommanila]

i say to continue with the quick studies, they look very nice. experiment with different line styles with your pencil, and possibly use even more darks that you already do, to up the contrast.

keep it up!

[Dilated]

lol true, I'll probably draw an apple up today, and yeah I realised the legs were pretty wrong after i posted it I think there too long?

[Azeltron]

The trick I will tel you is observe detail 24/7. When you walk in the street, look at people walking, standing, try to figure out there bone, there muscle. Look at light, face detail, eyes direction. Alway be aware of what it's around you. Then put on paper what you saw. then look as ref, anatomy, light test to reproduce what is in your mind.

and....practice practice practice.

[Dilated]

Thanks guys for the advice and support. So here is my apple sketched from life

[Dilated]

few sketches done today

[psychoboy]

nice study;
i hope the 1st paint is a gouache;

[Dilated]

Psychoboy what do you mean you hope it is gouache?

Lots of homework is piling up since the end of term is approaching but i managed to squeeze in a update, just a few action poses and another chick. I hate my lines, any tips to improve them?

[Dilated]

Some muscles study's, few facial features and a sauer p226 gun.
hmm the right face is leaning to the right. :spam:

[Dilated]

new colour study

Painting hair sucks, I'm gonna paint a baldy next lol

[Dilated]

School has been hectic but, one more week and I'll be on holidays and hopefully making many many many drawings and paintings. Here's a little sketch (ref) I managed to whip up before I go to bed.

[Dilated]

One study, one WIP concept of some random alien, and my 'pop art sculpture' which I had to make for school. The sculpture is made out of cardboard, newspaper and tissue paper.

Just for kicks here's a background for the alien.

Flirons are a god like race. They have unimaginable power, fueled by the small sun like entity occupying their skull. This entity is in itself a natural fusion reactor like a sun and is what gives the Flirons their power. Because of this Flirons need no food, no water and especially no sleep.

[Dilated]

new study's,

[Dilated]

I've uploaded some pics of my 'postmodern' sculpture(sorta based on a crab) I had to do for my art class, its made out of 18 coke cans for the legs, a fishing reel for the body, chicken wire for the claws and three rods for the leg structure. It was a battle making those coke can legs, my hands look more spliced up than an emos after their mum told them to stop using all her mascara. Even though it was relatively fun making this sculpture I'd prefer to do some more traditional stuff for a change. The other upload is just a new digital study using a ref of course(I would blend it more, but I want to continue on something else).

edit: reworked the study a bit, I'm so frustrated with it I'm just going to leave it for now

[Dilated]

more study's

[Dilated]

entry for my schools diary cover comp (used a ref changed some things etc) and just another study

[Φ]

hey man! great stuff here!! and I really really like your cola monster!!haha, made me laugh!
more of these studies!
cheers

( oh, and good to see some people of same age around here=)

[Dilated]

I haven't drawn for ages because of school exams, i have one more left and ill be finished for the year :).Hopefully this holidays i will pump out massive amounts of drawings. Here's my 1st drawing (self portrait) in a month or so, jesus I get rusty quick

[Dilated]

Some new study's
And a shout out too bigfooTrooper cheers 16 year olds represent lol

[Dilated]

Heres my first concept I've painted, i got sick of it at the end so its not insanely polished. No ref's

[Dilated]

Some new portrait study's

[Dilated]

I thought I sucked at doing hands so i drew some hands(Bridgman). first time i saw a Bridgman book today, where has he been all my life. <3

[Dilated]

Elwells quote today You don't "make the jump." You work on both at the same time. If you wait until you are "ready," you may never be. is amazing advice, i never really tried to much from imagination work after I did studies, so i did some today and realized I had a lot of work in front of me. Here are some more bridgman studies, no ref drawings are worthy enough yet.

[Dilated]

Some new bridgman studies, I tried to draw heads from my imagination but they always turned out cartoony, probably because of my doodles at school lol. I'll start including the imagination practice when it gets better

[Fraz]

Nice studies. Some great drawings in here. I want to see more!

[Dilated]

Fraz: Cheers man, dont you worry there will be alot more than that came from.

Heres a self potrait that took way to long to do, and a little plasticine monster head which is 4 cm big, it was just to try a different medium out, pretty fun i must say.

[Nrx]

Keep up the good work man, you have a real strong rendering style i think you should keep in mind what makes it work and just develop it so youve got controll over it, thats my opinion though touching it might kill it i dunno! :P

good to have you in the ssg anyway!

[Fraz]

The nose in your SP looks kind of wierd, like squished. But I like the rest. Looks really painterly. Maybe try to blend it more and try get it more photorealistic?

[kikindaface]

Good work dude ! your studies looks great ! And you use colors very well ! I agree with fraz, try to blend it more it will look bettet ! Anyway, nice to have you in the group ! Keep it up :)

[Dilated]

Fraz: Yeah I didn't realise that till I looked from a distance, thanks for pointing that out. I'll probably try to do something more photo realistic for my next paint
Walid: Thanks man

Just a few torso bridgeman studies, tomorrow I don't have work so I should do a lot more.

[Fraz]

Looking good man. The bottom right one looks skewed, however everyone does that now and again. Keep up the good work, just remember to do some imaginative stuff to see if you are remembering anything.

[Black Spot]

I nearly missed the ‘and’, and thought you were referring to yourself when you wrote ‘a little plasticine monster head which is 4 cm big’. Pretty good SP even if you have a squished nose.

On your pencil drawings, if you make the outline very feint and then shade up to it, you might get even better results.

[Φ]

I really dig those torso studies! cool to be in the SSG! gonna be real fun!
keepup dude!
(can´t really comment on the last post, gotta do em myself :D)

cheers

[Dilated]

Fraz's Cheers, yeah I tried some imagination stuff today but not much, I have allllllllot of work to do in this respect
Black Spotlol plasticine monster, maybe more appropriately sexy beast :P . I'll keep in mind your tip, these studies are really helping me with line control, cheers
bigfooTrooper Thanks man.

Here is just some more bridgman studies and my pathetic attempt at IIIIIIIMMMMMMMAGGGGGGINATIONnnnn.

[Φ]

cool studies!
I just saw your SP on page one which is really nice! you should do more of these! :D!
keepup
cheers

[Fraz]

Yeah, you need to take on board what you are drawing from bridgman and be able to use it, or else you are just copying! Try more stuff from imagination and it should force you to learn more.

[Nibras]

Yes apply what you've learned
You need more stuff from mind!
Other than that its fantastic
Keep it up!

[kikindaface]

Keep working from imagination, it will comes, Try to also understand shapes, volumes of body part, instead of copying bridgman studies ! Maybe this site will help you : http://www.angelfire.com/art3/kchendemos/. And I really wanna see more creative stuff, like enviros, chara design, vehicles, weapons, ... Keep at it !

[Dilated]

bigfooTrooper Thanks man
Fraz Yeah I really need to, did a few imagination figures this time, thanks for the tip
Lilnebo Ditto, Thanks
Walid D Cheers for the link, I will start doing creative stuff soon starting with the challenge should be good fun.

Did a few studies and all the figures are done from the mind. Tomorrow I dont think I can do any drawings because I'm working, then straight after I'm having a big Christmas eve dinner but I'll try and make the effort in the morning before work to draw.

[Fraz]

Cool. Nice feet studies, I need to do them too! :)
One thing about your drawing as a whole, try to get some structure and 3d-ness to them. Right now they look quite flat and have no planes.
Remember the forms, that is what studies are there for.
It is a 3d object, treat it as one. Particularily on your last page, you need to pay more attention to the rotation instead of just squishing in the features (pecks mainly) as that is mainly why it looks flat.
Pay attention to the width of the arms and legs compared to the torso.
I dunno if you are, but read bridgman as you are going along. He talks about the hips ribcage and head and how they are solid, and that they are the whole reason that figures react the way that they do.

Sorry if I seem harsh or anything negative, just trying to pass along info that I have learned.

[Dilated]

Fraz Yeah man thanks, its not harsh at all it helps me look at my errors more closely and yeah i really need to work on my 3d'ness.

Heres a study of a portrait of Gustov Klimpt and 3/10 thumbnails for the ssg challenge, the third one really really bothers me, though i dont know why. Merry Christmas everyone

[Φ]

loving the first thumb!
to be painted? :D

cheers

[Dilated]

bigFootrooper: Thanks man, yeah I will be choosing that one for my paint.

Ok here are all my thumbnails for the challenge, I think ill choose the first one and the first one on the second row. Also I found it really hard to draw legs so I squeezed in a bit of leg studies before work.

Im not sure if I will be able to finish both characters before the deadline at 8 am tomorrow.

[Royzy]

You have got some really great studies, something which I should really spend some time practicing myself.

"Ive been a lurker for awhile and finally decided to start my own sketchbook"

Same here, though I was more of a stalker than a lurker.

Keep up the great work!

[Dilated]

Royzy Thanks man, I hope to see lots of your work in the future

Ok heres my entry for the challenge
the girls face is reffed a bit, but I didn't follow it exactly I hope that's not a problem
I'm not really happy with my end result, but whatever it was fun and my second concept ever done.
The gun is ridiculously out of perspective.

http://i476.photobucket.com/albums/rr130/Sketchz92/concepttttttchallengefinish.jpg

http://i476.photobucket.com/albums/rr130/Sketchz92/conceptchickfinished.jpg

[Fraz]

Cool stuff man, my main concern is that there is no distinguishable light source in the second, thus making it look flat and fake. In the first, you have a light source, but have done everything like it was rounded or a cylinder, including the face. You need to pay attention to forms, especially in the face, as if you have a bad face, it will reduce the quality of the whole piece dramatically.
They seem quite static also. Try to make the poses a bit more interesting and dynamic, maybe have some foreshortening to make it look more cinematic.
Keep trying dude!

[Dilated]

Fraz yeah I had trouble applying light to the second one, i was trying to apply the light so it looked like it was coming from the right side, but obviously failed, It was rushed a bit because of the deadline, I might go back and fix it up more.
Yeah its a bad face, I'll soon start a big study on heads soon.
Yeah I also need to work on my pose's too, pretty much need to work on everything lol.
Thanks for the detailed comment man

Bloody constant headache for the past 3 days, and couldnt draw anything, and when I did they weren't up to my standards. Here are some head studies which are shitttazzzz, I really need to do more of these head studies.

[626elemental]

Good stuff so far! Nice studies, they're always a good thing to do. Let your imagination come through though. I'd really like to see you do some characters, enviros, even just a whole composition with a background and everything. Have fun with it!

[Black Spot]

For the chap, the arm armour won't let him bend at the elbow. Shorten the shoulder pad and move the middle section up. Keep practising.

[Dilated]

Black Spot Wow didnt notice that before thanks for the tip
626elemental Thanks man, I will try to do it more often

Ok more studies, should of done some imagination stuff, but oh well. I'll soon try out the acrylics which i got for christmas.

eh im killing my eyes from looking at this monitor and doing studies

peace

[Dilated]

Played with sketchup today, pretty easy to work with I should play with 3d more often. I just made some random building nothing special.
Here's a few tonal studies, I really need to try some other shading styles. The chair is from life.
I might update again today

[Φ]

hehe, yeah! cool 3D man!

you know, you could a screenshot of that and paint over it! that could give a cool environment!!

keepup!
cheers

[Dilated]

bigfooTrooper I was thinking about it, but i wanted to do something more complicated. cheers

Procrastination is a bitch. Heres a self portrait done with a mirror, alot harder than it looks.

[Nrx]

Hey man nice sp, it is a lot harder than it looks, ive not managed to push one as far as yours without getting pissed with it yet :P

i was thinking about what you said about wanting a differnt rendering style, maybe you should try a differnt medium and then come back to pencil after, maybe charcoal.

but i think that because we use wood pencils(well i assume you do) we cant get that same texture as other artists get with mechanical pencils, what you think?

[zelda_geek]

You should sharpen your pencil more often and/or draw bigger, it will make it look a lot cleaner. An other thing is that you must not forget to add the cast shadow on the ground. It can really help ground the characters. Keep practice and study everything!:D

[Fraz]

Nice SP, and yeah, draw bigger and try get everything to look smoother and not as textured. Try shading a large gradient as smooth as you can and see how it looks!

[Dilated]

Fraz Thanks man, Ive tried out a new shading technique to make it look cleaner, but i still need to practice it.
zelda_geek Thanks for dropping by, yeah I sharpened my pencil and tried hatching
Nrx Yeah I use a wooden pencil, you might be right we cant get the texture that other dudes get when they use a mechanical, nonetheless though we shouldn't be too far off. I ll get a mechanical pencil soon, thanks dude.

alright I've been slacking, i went to bed at 8 in the morning the other day, dont ask why, but I'll be coming back with more stuff than ever hopefully. Here's just come clothing studies which are using a different rendering technique than i usually do.

[kikindaface]

hey dude, really good characters ! For the last one, there are not just arms which are long, but legs are too small, on this character, the pubis is not in the middle of the body ! Anyway, keep that work up !

[Fraz]

A shit load nicer. Nice job! It looks a lot cleaner, but it can still be improved! Keep at it bro

[Φ]

woot?! these are some nice renderings! a tick darker…maybe…
anyway looking good!
cheers

[Royzy]

I like your clothing studies, particularly the one in the middle, reminds me of a girl I went to college with. The proportions of the first 2 are great. The 3rd one along looks a bit masculine on her upper half, but that could be due to the garments she is wearing.

I like your character concepts too. Like someone else mentioned the coloured character's lighting makes it feel flat and the pose looks like she is saying to a photographer;

"What? You want me to hold them up...like this?"

Though her face I find has good characteristics. Feels like a real character.

[PieMonster]

Good stuff here, good studies man, keep doing those! You have some proportion issues in many of your figures, mainly that they have too short legs. You should have a look at Loomis' books (http://acid.noobgrinder.com/Loomis/), and do some studies if you haven't already.

Keep working, dude! :)

[Dilated]

PieMonster Yeah my proportions are pretty bad atm since I'm only starting to apply what I've studied which is pretty bad, and yeah I have done loomis studies but awhile back before I found CA, I'll crack down on some more soon. Thanks for the comment.
Royzy Haha I know what you mean Im still working on the whole dynamic poses. Thanks for the comment of the face but I reffed it mostly so yeah.
bigfooTrooper yeah good idea thanks :D
Fraz Yeah Ill try thanks man
Walid D Yeeah i sorta did fuck up the proportions on that chick, thanks for the comment.

Alright I realise now if I dont start drawing from imagination now Im going to be going no where with my improvement, everyday I must push my self to do some imagination stuff. Heres some more fashion stuff from the great fashion site http://www.hel-looks.com/?p=image/archives/4/20080817_03/ and some imagination stuff.

[Fraz]

Your imagination stuff could use work, especially the faces. I am loving your fashion stuff though, more more more!

[Dilated]

Fraz: Yeah Im working on it, thanks for the comment

alright starting to apply what I learn now, still not good enough but if i dont try it wont happen. Heres a combination of loomis studies and my imagination stuff, Im sure you can spot the difference lol.

[Φ]

cool loomis stuff man! I like!
still not good enough but if i dont try it wont happen
I like how you look at things! this´ll get you pretty far!
keepup
cheers

[BubbaGump]

Good stuff. The only way up is practice and it seems like you've got that mentality down.

[Fraz]

Nice little studies Sketchz, remember not to rush these parts as they will shape everything that comes after it.
Be careful with the torso planes and how they rotate in space.

[Dilated]

Fraz Yeah I'm having a little trouble rotating it properly but hopefully I'll overcome it, thanks man
BubbaGump Cheers for the comment and thanks for dropping by
bigfooTrooper I hope it will get me far lol, thanks dude.

more loomis/ no ref figures
ahh stupid proctrastination,
arghh need much more exciting poses and work on perspective
I'm going to work now but I might do some stuff after and re-post.

[kikindaface]

Try to do simple poses for now, focusing on proportions ! Don't forget the body weight, try to do in real poses you draw ! Anyway, keep that work ! Do more of life painting to improve your drawing skills !

[Sidharth Chaturvedi]

Hey man, fantastic that you're doing your Bridgman and Loomis, it's already started to show up in your other work! From what I can tell, the one thing you're lacking is that you're still not putting quite enough rhythm and movement into the figures- even when moving, they're a bit stiff. Keep practicing those mannequins in Loomis, they'll help you loads.

-Sid

[Nrx]

Yeah man focus on getting the manakin to seem real in 3d space, your rendering earlier was working to help describe form too, good shit

[Dilated]

Nrx yeah I'm trying to with frustrating results, thanks
Chagan Ditto, and yeah I'll keep practicing, cheers
Walid D yeah good idea man, today i actually looked in the mirror and saw what i did wrong.

Alright heres some rendering practice with a new technique and my utter frustration that i cant draw faces without a reff, I guess I just need more practice.

Edit: the figures are drawn abit smaller than the actual pic here

[Fraz]

Improving constantly. Nice job on the face, and I think you have a natural talent for clothes!
Cool job man, nicely rendered too, however remember to lift your pencil at the end of every stroke instead of scribbling. It will make it look a lot nicer.

[Writerof]

Keep on trying, youre getting there. Try loomis his books. Be patient and you will get there

Good work, keep on drawing!!!

[Dilated]

Fraz haha thanks man, yeah sometimes i was lazy and scribbled
WriterofThanks man hope to speak to you on vent again someday

alright I set out to do 100 heads in 100 minutes but sorta slacked, the 1st couple heads are 1 minute drawings the shitty shaded ones were abit longer. Then at the very bottom just some non reffed heads to see if I improved. Also my crappy copy of one of emily g's paintings which is in the thumbs above ^(I really should blend more and actually do the hair, too lazy lol). Also went to get a mechanical pencil today couldnt find 0.5mm T_T.
ughhhh not good enough NEED TO KEEP PRACTICING. >:{ :D

[Fraz]

For your digipaint, some of the lines are off. The chin is slightly to the right of the center line, and the nose mouth and eyes are at different angles.
You can see by this:

http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/7158/linesssslw5.jpg

Your main fault are noses and lips. With the lips you can't see the edge nearly as clearly as what you have done. In parts they fade in quite gradually.
On noses, get some bridgman studies for them.

Nice stuff. :)

[kidult]

Just keep at those studies. Also keep at the imaginary stuff and testing yourself. Simply making copies only get you so far but the way you are trying stuff from imagination after some studies is great.

Keep it Up

[Dilated]

Fraz Thanks for the detailed crit man. With the chin your right but the eyes are actually on an angle according to the original. And what do you mean by the lip thing I don't understand exactly what your trying to say

kidult exactly right man thanks.

alright pretty lazy today but I did like my 1st "study" acrylic painting, very hard to work with took me awhile to realize how acrylic flows, blends etc but I learnt alot from this even if the product is a heap. I realise now why oils are the more preferred choice when it comes to more detailed paintings, fighting against acrylic drying is not a fun thing.

[Fraz]

With the lips you have too distinct of a border between the lips and the face. The lips are part of the face, but are just slightly different coloured and are planes on the face.
With the new one, nice to see you experimenting.
The butt goes into the legs all wrong though, there it looks like there is no ass, just a fat leg. The leg is also fatter than the ribcage.
Oh well, lovely to see someone else in the ssg attempt paints.

[Nrx]

Nipples kick ass, in the state im in right now, i'd probably try hit it... (OK WTF AM I DRUNK ON, I HEARD THE LINE "WELL I REALLY I HAVE NO MORALS GENERALLY" TONIGHT, MY MAN LET ME DOWN MAN, MY APOLOGIES FOR RANTING, YOU HAVE MANY SKILLS, ESPEICIALLY AT PAINTING, KEEP PRACTICING AND YOU WILL KICK MUCH ASS, BUT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN LAID TONIGHT.... BUT I ARNT ... SO NOW I RANT IN YOUR BOOK.)
good shit, keep it up man youll be a pro soon enough!

[Dilated]

Nrx aha dw man whatever happens there are many nights infront of you to get laid aha. Thanks for the compliments man
Fraz Yeah thanks for explaining it better for me you help a lot. Yeah the ass is fucked, I had a problem scaling the reff to the canvas. cheers

Jesus I missed a few updates very very bad. I had a little conflict with what i wanted to do when i leave school but I'm over that now and drawing again.
Heres just a combination of non ref at the bottom and loomis at the top.

still cant find 0.5m mechanical pencil.
and my parents took the camera i use for sketchbook pages so now I have to stitch scanned pages T_T

[Dilated]

alright did some bargue Study's and some imagination stuff, scanning this shit is so annoying, hopefully I'll get my hands on a camera again.

[George Abraham]

Great study and progress. Keep it going.

Me go draw now.

[Janos]

Hey Sketchz
Keep the studies up. They need a little more fluidity so they don't seem so stiff but all in all it's a nice start to a sketchbook.

Cheers

[Fraz]

I am doing a few bargue things right now too. Try get things more accurate, although nice start!
Keep it up.

[George Abraham]

There is some Bridgeman books in the free ebook thread somewhere in the referance section.

Bridgeman has a funny way of installing a mental form trick, Sometimes the way someone write, when you read it the mind latches on to it.

It's like drawing on a flat page but it feels as if your pencil tip is going off into the distance stating contour in 3d space. I like it when that happens and lucky it happens more and more lately.

Another thing to just make it come out sometimes is to know that what you draw is on the page before you draw it. You are just making it come out so that others can see it too.

I draw a quick warmup sphere just to get it back when I draw. I see the cue ball sitting on the billiards table there, I just need to state it. Even though the spere makes a contour of a perfect 2d circle the mind makes it feel like the pencil is in space somewhere working on something that has dimention.

Sounds stupid but it's a subtle thing that comes and goes unless you make a habit of getting it at will.

I noticed from your muscle studies, especially those direct front, side and back studies, those muscle studies are a quick way the mind usually get's pulled into 2d and end up drawing on the surface of the page. I will give that another try, my studies were mostly flat too.


Line and fluidity you could try listening to some Baroque classical music, music seems to trigger those stuffs. It's hard listening to korn and draw fluid beutifull lines at the same time, maybe for some aggressive shading, some fast paced action music.

Listen to some Queen :P as an example and notice how tidy and musically beutifull his singing is, compare that to line work in drawing.

Baroque is great, I don't intentionally do this but the radio played some last night and I noticed how carefull I was at shading and drawing an ear out of hogarth's books. It slows you down and makes you feel your lines.

[AlexTooth]

Hey, good development here, I am at a similar stage, practicing everyday, trying to learn fast =) Greay potential here, I really like your coloured digi stuff actually!

Practice, practice that's what I keep telling myself and everyone else =)

[George Abraham]

Off topic but just for interest sake.

Queen was quite the concept artist, a lyrical one.

Killer Queen: Some female character, lethal but quaint.
Another one bites the dust: Some "shooter" character out to kill with his machene gun

He also did themes for character concept like flash gordon and he did that awesome song for the Highlander series, Born to be kings I think.

Really an inspirational artist. The musical avenue really has potential because the more stuff you build around your characters or concepts the better they become(en-Rich!!). and you can use them, for when you draw maybe, when you draw a shooter character that song really sets the mood. So having a goal and a music collection could be a concept artist asset.

The babbling continues...

Highlander was a cool theme, they got to shoot a crap load of hot babes or dudes and they flashed back into times past and got to dress them in all kinds of freaky clothings.

[Dilated]

zaor: Hey man thanks for the long comment, even though it sometimes felt you were talking to yourself lol :P.
I'am starting to try to think 3 dimensional when I draw but not so succesfull yet.
Yeah queen is an amazing band I've been listening to it lately, with a combination of rap and metal. You have an interesting take on music but most of the time when I do my art I dont pay attention to the music playing and it normally doesnt effect me.

AlexTooth Thanks man, yeah hopefully these daily's will help us lol.

Janos Cheers, Yeah I'm having a problem with fluidity hopefully I will overcome it, any tips?

Fraz Cheers man, and yeah need to get things like the hand more accurate.

Alright heres a master study which was harder than usual of some French artist which I grabbed from the great artist thread (Im sorry I didnt remember the name its probably sacrilage lol) I will do a couple more of these tomorrow.

edit: Uploaded wrong picture derrrr

[SamC]

Latest painting is good, but focus on colour and lighting over making the brush look like a paint brush, if the colours and lighting are good then it can be as loose as you like.

[George Abraham]

Ug.. Just no appreciation for bullshit. lol.


Nice update.

[Fraz]

Nice digipaint dude. Looks awesome in my view.
Just need to be a bit cleaner on the features planes, mainly the eyes.
Seriously though, love it. Keep going!

[Black Spot]

Now don't lie, that's you in a funny hat and wearing a fake moustache.

[George Abraham]

Faster, faster... :)


The hairline on the left side of the face seems to solid and sharp edged. Perhaps, looking for quick shadows or translucency?

[Dilated]

zaorr Uhh I'am starting to realise the whole sharp edge blurry edge thing now, thanks for the comment
Black Spot LOLOL I see the resemblance now, distant relative maybe? aha
Fraz Thanks dude, yeah I'm to lazy but its not helping me, need to snap out of it.
SamC Yeah true thanks man.

Alright heres a master study of one of Isaure's work with real acrylic paint, not finished but im not going to go further with it I ran out of paint -_- lol, sorry for the bad picture flash fucked it up so my room light made it looks yellower than usual. Alright I'm going on holiday very very late notice it got sprung on to me today, sorry guys in ssg I wont be back for 5 days or so but I will try to draw still, lots of life studies hopefully.

[Fraz]

Damn man, now I am the only not dead one in the ssg, lol.
I will be dead for like 2 weeks after next week as I have exams, so oh well.
Nice job, but it would have been awesome to include some more variation in colour on her face, maybe some greens?

[Φ]

neat to see real paint in here! if you come back, GET SOME MORE PAINT AND WORK! haha, no its great so far, I really like it! awaiting your return!

(and fraz, don´t worry, IM back now, Ill keep it alive! =)

cheers

[kikindaface]

Hey dude, sorry for not posting these days :( Your digital paintings looks really cool ! keep at it man, try to paint different things, portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, ... I'm looking forward to see your next stuff :D And Fraz, i'm back again, i will keep it alive with bigfoot :) )

[Dilated]

Walid D Its alright man you had an excuse, Yeah ill try to hit up some enviro's, cheers buddy
bigfooTrooper Im back but school is tomorrow and i will be able to do real paints for my projects :D , thanks.
Fraz Yeah I was following the master but I should of improvised some more cheers for the comment.

Alright Im back from my holiday and didnt have much time to draw :( but I managed to fit a little in but its still a piss poor effort Hopefully I can get back into the groove of things but I will have to manage my time with school which starts tomorrow -_-.

[George Abraham]

I think you captured that girl quite nicely. Some dynamic in there is looking good. You kept the level of detail well balanced.

[jiangliming]

I started drawing a month ago,maybe I should put some sketch on this net just like you.I 'm in china.nice to meet you here.

[Dilated]

jiangliming Yeah def man this site is great
zaorr Cheers man

Alright school's started my updates are going to be pretty poor now :( but I'll to try to do as much as I can
Though i got myself a mechanical pencil :D

Some study bullshit with some random shit

[kikindaface]

Wow, your little nude drawing looks really good, especially the rendering ! keep it up man !

[Marth]

Your palletes are excellent, what program are you using?

[Φ]

neat nude right there! more of those……Im demanding I know, I should shut my mouth and do something myself!

cheers

[SamC]

Sweet figures man, I'd have to recommend working bigger though, I mean it's more annoying to render at first but you end up with so much more detail.

[Dilated]

SamC Yeah I definitely should, Most of the time I avoid it because I have problems with scaling. Thanks for dropping by and commenting
bigfooTrooper Ha I need someone demanding in my life, don't worry their should be much more...... soon.
Marth Thanks, I'm using photoshop
Walid D Cheers buddy

My lines are worse than yesterday........... stupid homework making me tired. Alright still getting used to mechanical pencil just hitting up some reffed nudes to practice my lines. I tried the other day public sketching, I only got 15 mins to do it but next time I will have a much longer session and actually post the result.

Oh and here's my diary cover printed on the school diary :D

[Dilated]

Uhhh this update is coffee fueled, I'm buggered after school and lack of sleep.
Just some bridgman stuff, didn't have enough time for applying, very very bad Sketchz.
Starting to get a feel for the mechanical pencil now.

Time for sleep :zzz:

[Dilated]

Some bridgman hands and heads and some concepts that I had fun with but, ugh still need to improve a lot more with imagination stuff.
Oh and my first shitty enviro thumb zomg lol.

[SamC]

Not meaning to sound harsh but I find your referenced drawings are far superior to your mind stuff. Are you taking more time on the referenced images? Or maybe you're not learning the muscles and just drawing a picture? Keep at it man, the hard work will pay off!

[Dilated]

SamC Not harsh man, to be honest its just I've never really did much imagination stuff I was always scared because the quality was so much worse, but if I don't do anything its going to stay worse. Thanks man

Bridgman drawings and atrocious imagination stuff....

[George Abraham]

Fraz,

Put some strain on your memory.

Draw a study picture, then right after try to recreate it from the mind. You can peek if you hit a blank, but when you finish, start over until you can draw the object without peeking and when you feel that you have memorized the components that was necessary.

Then draw the same object two days later and see how well the stuff stuck. Soon you will have built a learning strategy and will find yourself playing with what you learn while you are doing studies. You will get a sense for the amount of proficiency you need to take it into next week. ;)

Might slow a study down a bit but it will make them worth while, even if you feel you need foundations, spend some time and discipline getting what you see as foundations right until you know you have it, instead of hoping they will slot themselves after months of quick sweeping. Otherwise your drawing will end up like my guitar playing. After four years now I am only starting to get the basics but that turns out to be the essentials, and because I spent such a long time doing other stuff, It's harder to unlearn my incorrect habits than to get the basics right. Style comes later, just like a guitarist's style... It's the way you drive after you have learnt to drive or the way you sing after you have learnt to sing.

Don't let go of something untill you are happy with it. Don't tire yourself, and give yourself time, you are not a machene, It takes a few winks, breaks and revisits to make stuff permanent, so there is lots of time inbetween to do other studies or playing with other aspects, just aslong as you get a strategy for yourself that works.

Z

[Dilated]

zaorr Lol fraz? wrong sketchbook or just wrong name?
anyway, I think drawing something you just drew again from memory wouldn't to good, its only making you remember that particular pic not forcing you to think for yourself and make you own form. Yeah and I think I might take more time on study's and really think about it instead of just drawing it.

Some scribbles

btw I changed my name, Sketchz was so unimaginative.

[Dilated]

Tried some public sketching soooo hard, drawing on the bus sucked because it was vibrating like hell and in the food hall most people were like 10-20m away, oh well it was fun.

Also some more imagination stuff, my faces are soo bad I think I'm going to hit up a mirror to get proportions and stuff at different angles.

[ReviseTheMethod]

Hey mate! =) Thanks for dropping by my sketchbook!
I'm spotting a whole lot of work and dedication here, which makes anything else than "keep it coming" seem redundant :P
Continue to study anatomy, and remember to be observant =)
Sometimes you'll learn only by keeping an eye open for details ;)

Cheers!

[Φ]

good sketching, more more more! try to apply what you learned from study to work you do from mind.

cheers

[Dilated]

ReviseTheMethod Yeah thanks man I do need to observe more.
bigfooTrooper Yeah definitely cheers budy.

Need more photoshop practice.................

[Janos]

Just some avice on your photoshop piece in the last post.
(1) Colours interact with each other and overlap in some places where one reflects on the other for example. Some yellow of the stockings will reflect on the shoes, not making them yellow but warmer in the area affeted. Or some blue on the stockings.
(2) Try not to use white or black to highlight or shade a colour. Its not that easy... The surrounding affects the colours, and in a colourless surrounding you will just have to come up with an alternative. White highlights look very plastic and unpleasing.
(3) push your values a lot more to really bring forth the form of the clothes.

CHeers and think about my advice for the next time.

[kikindaface]

Haha, you also have the same issue than me ! when you're trying to add light on what you're painting, it just looks like you've added some strokes of another colors ! We should do an OC session together, and try to fiw this issue ! Cheers

[Dilated]

Walid D Yeah we'll both have to work on, OC session sounds good.
Janos 1. Yeah thanks man I definitely need work on this.
2. I didnt use any black but I dude use pretty strong white, ill keep this in mind
3.Yeah Deff, I didnt push the values enough.

some more quick photoshop practice, pen from life and face from photo.

[SamC]

That face from photo has very good skin tones,, you seem very comfortable with those :P With stuff from life it always helps to add a quick sketchy background, especially with metal as it always reflects surrounding colours and therefore needs explanation. Keep it up man!

[Janos]

Some good feeling in the last one. The foto you referenced would be appreciated for the face. I still think your values need some work.
And why on earth do you enjoy painting byros? =D

[Dilated]

Janos Cheers buddy, LOL its not like I enjoy painting pens it was just the closest thing at the time.
SamC Thanks man, Ill definitely put a backround next time.

ARGHHGHHGH My imagination faces aren't getting better, going to start doing a lot of SP's to fix this

[Φ]

last digital piece has really good colors (i mean the roar-guy)
bout your heads from mind, I agree, it is a good idea to do some SP, or just study. this will help you construct your own faces. good luck

cheers

[Janos]

Shade those faces and male them pop from the page. Most heads seem to be more face than head, which is wrong. The head is huge compared o the facial features only! Keep it man and all will be good!

[Dilated]

Janos Yeah good point man, I'll keep that in mind cheers
bigfooTrooper Yeah cheers check the update

SP, Mechanical pencil is pretty hard to work with shading but I'm learning alot. Likeness isnt that great -_- need to do morrrrrrrrrrrrrre.

[George Abraham]

zaorr Lol fraz? wrong sketchbook or just wrong name?
anyway, I think drawing something you just drew again from memory wouldn't to good, its only making you remember that particular pic not forcing you to think for yourself and make you own form. Yeah and I think I might take more time on study's and really think about it instead of just drawing it.

Some scribbles

btw I changed my name, Sketchz was so unimaginative.


Hehe, oops.

OK it's Dilated now, hehe,..

Yes, that's the wrong type of mem exercise, If we only had photographic memory eh?

What I meant was to redraw your understanding, fortifying some stuff to memory, technical, behavioural, and constant aspects.

[Dilated]

zaorr lol I think you still dont understand, I'm not fraz, thanks anyway.

FFS my sp's didnt improve they got worse, first one was best................. well I'm going to make it daily from now on and hopefully get better :/

And I also went out to try something different, a quick speedy enviro, I have no idea how to make textures so it was pretty much like painting in the dark.

[SamC]

It's been like 2 days and you expect improvement in the SPs, just be patient. Don't measure improvement on likeness either, but on the quality of line, rendering, structure etc. The enviro looks cool, but remember that trees aren't always green, especially with that sky, the light wouldn't be strong enough to make such a saturated green. Great work, keep it up :)

[Dilated]

SamC Yeah.. I'm an pretty un-patient guy I expect too much of myself thanks for reassuring me to keep patient, also yeah those greens were definitely a bad choice thanks for pointing it out, cheers buddy.

new self potrait, I might join up with Walids and Nrx's thread.
and some random imagination shit, loosing line quality again need to study

[Φ]

nice SP, cant give you advice but I see that the effort is good! moar!!
and yeah, thats about what I gotta say ;)

keep at it!

cheers

[Dilated]

bigfooTrooper Yeah dont worry man I will, cheers :D

Sp for the day, I have 2 tests to study for, so poor update.
Though alas there's a long weekend coming up, should pump out a big update hopefully.

[FraserMcT]

Good job on the SPs man. Try and do a value chart at the side and stick to the values. This will help you understand the colour relations to one another, and help determain the correct values. Maybe try some smoother shading also?

[Dilated]

FraserMcT Yeah I dont really know how to make a value chart but it would be great. Yeah I need to make it smoother need MOAR practice.

New self potraits, and some stuff that I did awhile ago at school at the start of the year. Still have an essay on Tuesday and Wednesday and a test on Friday.T_T
Oh well

[Φ]

nice nice!

I think you should try to set clearer areas of light and shadow. and push the contrast a bit. a good exercise would be to do a black&white SP. and I mean only black and white: black for shadow, obviously and (leave) white for light. Itll force you to decide where the light really hits an object:)

cheers

[Dilated]

bigfooTrooper Cheers man I ll keep that in mind for later

some hogarth, daily sp and imagination shit.

[Φ]

hmm. your imaginative stuff is a bit lacking compared to your study,but thats only natural and if you keep doing these, you'll improve. simple.:)

and if you look at one of your figures from mind, and feel that anatomy is wrong, hit up ref and try to correct it. of course you wont do that with all your figs but you could say, that…dunno, maybe correct 5 figs from mind per week using ref (?) just thinking

take care!

[SamC]

It's not the anatomy that's wrong in your imagination stuff, the muscles are very good, it's just proportion. You're ending the biceps at the pecks (2 heads), when it should end a little above the bellybutton (3 heads) and the wrist should be at the groin (4 heads.) It pays to learn loomis head proportion landmarks. Try to do measurements on your imagination stuff to start with as well until you can do it from sight. Keep it up.

[Dilated]

SamC Thanks man, I'll definitely be more aware of the proportion defects now.
bigfooTrooperCheers as well good idea.

Daily self potrait (lol at expression)
Hogarth legs
and more imagination shit

I did a photo study but ahh for a few reasons I better not put it up here.

[kikindaface]

Really nice studies ! Your sps also improved :D keep working on them ! And keep painting from life !

[Dilated]

Walid D Cheers man I will

Alright Daily Self portrait 12 should of done way more today, need to kick myself in the ass.
Also I started a self portrait thread should be in my sig.

[FraserMcT]

Hey man. Try taking your time on the next one, especially when shading. Get some construction down first, then get some values down. Try to block in large shapes first, then work down, just like painting.

[Dilated]

FraserMcT cheers man ill keep it mind

Stupid school tests and essay's stopping me from drawing. :frustrated:
at least I managed to do self portraits.

[Dilated]

Sp
studys
and more imagination shit

[Emil_J.]

The self-portraits are improving ! especially the placement of the features have improved - keep it up!

[Dilated]

Fumble Cheers man I will

Alright I went to the city for school to do some drawings for my project which turned out like fail.
I guess I'm going out my comfort level, cant progress without learning from mistakes.
I need to focus more when I draw, something which is lacking in my life lately.
anyway ending my emo rant
Here's my city's life drawings
a study
and all the daily sp's since last update.

[kikindaface]

Nice sketches man ! Try to think about the volume when you're drawing, a few of them ( like the head in the bottom of the page ) looks really flat ! Keep working ! Take care

[626elemental]

Nice job on the WTF face. The shading is very solid. You should consider doing some perspective studies, that'll help with buildings.

[Dilated]

626elemental thanks man I might hit up some perspective on the weekend
Walid D Yeah I really need to feel the form more.

YAY finally got my intuos 3, if i could i would make love to it.
Heres the latest self potraits, the second is WIP and is in real early stages of development, its going to be for a comp
The first sketch is life drawing of my room
The second is for school, which is got to do with the subject I've been given " Mans interaction with the urban enviroment"

[FraserMcT]

Cool digitals! The nose in the first one is pretty damn sexy. The eyes look a too small though.
Try use a different pallete for the skin, with more variations in colours like some greens or purples.
Nice lines

[Φ]

wow ,man these SP getting there! nice, respect!
the digits, try to blend it smoother with brushstrokes…no dots and stuff…thats all I can say…

intuos3 ? nice, me too…which one? A4

mOaR!!

[Dilated]

bigfooTrooper Cheers man, its 6x11 since I have a widescreen monitor.
FraserMcT Yeah thanks man the eyes are a bit small and I do need more colours in my paints.

UGH chalks are hard
Also SP pretty much finished, also progress gif.

[FraserMcT]

I hate pastels too. I haven't used really dry ones though, but that looks pretty good for a first. Feet are too small, and the one closest to us has some perspective issues.

Nice digi dude. You are coming on leaps and bounds. Main thing is that you need to get some cleaner edges, and work on hair :P
Cool though, keep up the studies.

[Dilated]

FraserMcT Yeah those feet gave me a problem, Thanks for the advice :D

This is my first gouache, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to use it as a water colour or thick paint?. Anyway If you've noticed I've been drawing old people, they are sketches for a school project which I will eventually turn into a painting next week. All these drawings are scaled therefore out of my comfort area, I'm starting to get the concept down but as always there's a lot more work to do.

[FraserMcT]

Nice update!
The thing about guoache, is that you can use it however the hell you want! :P
Try get more muted colours, this can be done loads of ways, such as adding the opposite colour.
Your sps are improving massivly, good job.

[Dilated]

FraserMcT Cheers man really appreciate it

Heres my 1/3 major paintings for school (acrylic), its pretty much finished, only got a day and abit to work on it so its not what I want it to be :/. Also 2 sp's the others arent worth putting in here.

sorry for shitty photo.

[Φ]

nice painting dude, and as said, these SPs are getting there! I should do something similar………Ill try=)
goo stuff, keep it coming

[Dilated]

Mr. Phil Mr Phil uncomfortably close to American sensation Dr Phil aha.
Yeah man daily sp's help quite a bit go for it, cheers.

Sp, the final for the painted sp and my very first oil paintings, all practice for my big oil painting for a competition later on.
I think I'm using too much turps :/

[Verehin]

really like your pencils

[Dilated]

Verehin Thanks a lot man, I should be saying your pencils are amazing, which they are lol.

first study in a looooong time let alone applying what I learnt (I know suprising) made drawing my sp so much easier. Also some sp features I forgot to add be fore and a little colour study, need to do more of them.

[Dilated]

Moar studies, sp's, applying it with shit results over the past two days

sorry for shithouse photo's

[SamC]

Yeah I think you can probably tell from the studies and stuff, but you can avoid stiffness by playing with rotation and movement of the rib cage, and the shoulder and hip lines inverting. For instance, stand on one foot and see how your shoulder and hips sort of go like this > or < depending on which foot. This generally gives a sense of balance to your stuff. Try it out, and keep it up, you're doing great.

[Dilated]

SamC Cheers man good tips, really keeps me going

So here's some sp's and the oil painting I've been working on the past few days for a local competition, my 3rd oil.
turps is a bitch.

[Nrx]

jesus man your really raising the bar, something for you to mulll over


when you paint, your painting the bright highlights and the dark shadows (core highlights core shadows)

when you draw, your only accounting for core shadows


your painting looks fucking amazing, your drawings not so much


said with love and respect, damn man raising the bar... rasing the pissing bar... :P

[Kalim]

Hi! Thanks for your comment you left in my SB!
When I was listing through your sketchbook I told myself: "pretty good faces this man is drawing."
BUT when I came to the very end where your oil paintings is shown, my jaw fell down on the floor and I just told myself: "what the...? His THIRT oil an it's such fucking great!"

these are my words

keep up

more oils

[Dilated]

Nrx Thanks a lot man :D, Yeah my sp drawings aren't so strong.. yet but I tried to push the values more these latest sp's hopefully it will get better.

Kalim Cheers man, really appreciate taking the time to look through, and don't worry more oils to eventually come

alrighty pretty big update I guess...
anyway here's all my sp's since last update, a page of imagination scribbles (getting more fun now), some designs that I was playing with for a tattoo design but they seem like more orientated to a shirt design, and a hand from life study to use for a later design and thats it.

GODDAMMIT the scanner raped the designs

Edit (posted wrong pic)

[Dilated]

Most of these drawings(not sp's and neither the chick with the smiley) I showcased to my local tattoo shop, I also included my two latest paintings in the portfolio. They were pretty impressed and they want to introduce me to a guy who sells tattoo designs all around the country and in the states. They also wanted me to come in and watch them and eventually tattoo for them :D. It sure would beat working at K-mart. The great thing about it, it wont conflict with me attending high school.

If you cbf reading I'm just extremely happy. :D

[Φ]

niiice stuff man!, gottta love the smokin ape and your side-view-oil portrait! well done

congrats on that tatoo sutff! Id take that hands-outof-head dude right there!! haha, awesome!

now the last lady has a bit thick legs…at least thats what jumped to my mind!

keep doing what ya do. I like!

[Dilated]

Mr. Phil Cheers man.

Finally I have updated, exams and school has been hectic, but 14 or so weeks left of this shit, then I can finally concentrate on art. I haven't posted everything I've done but its still shame full for this time, alas I have two weeks of holiday now which will consist of

Black swan potraiture competition
Yearbook diary cover
School major painting
Possibly painting for my brothers house
and just huge amount of drawing mixed with school study -_-.

Now these updates mostly consist of school drawings leading up to my painting and THAT DISGUSTING DRAWING OF FLIES IS SUPPOSED TO REFLECT ON DADA so dont go judging me ahaha.

Also the caricature is of my art teacher, apart of a series for the yearbook.

[kikindaface]

Hey dude, nice stuff :D your line qualty improved ! im looking forward to see your new stuff ! I also like the hand in acrylic, nice one ! Now daily update !

[Dile_]

wow keep doing studies! it certainly is helping you tons man.. great sp's.. !

[spook-]

heya good work!

I saw your commended work (shaun tan thinger) in the library, fancy seeing you on here haha!

[Dilated]

Walid D thanks man

Dile_ Thanks for dropping by, cheers.

spook- Its a small internet isnt it lol, what are the chances,. Lol i havent even gone up there to see it my self

Alright heres my second painting out of 3 for my major works for school and a drawing of ca's very own James Wolf.

The painting still needs a few touch ups but Im going to do them in my school time not on holidays. Water soluble oils are awesome.

[JailHouseRock2]

WOW Aesome sp's, and all those digis rock!

Really great progress with the drawings as well, the studies really seem to be helping heaps, so keep em' up!

And that last painting is amazing! I'd buy it! Dig the blue back light!

Laters,
matt

[Dilated]

JailHouseRock2 Thanks for the good words and dropping by :D

This is for the yearbook cover competition for my school.

[Dilated]

Not much of an update for such an absence but school has been majorly hectic since its my last year and I finish in a month and a bit. After school though I can finally focus on my art, should be awesome :D.

So heres my last major painting for school and also some teacher caricatures I did for the yearbook.

Btw I didn't win the cover competition, meh.

[Φ]

solid painting man, those shoes look very fine to me.
and, you are certainly getting there with your portraits! cool!

take care!

[towy]

really cool stuff keep it up Dilated

[Dilated]

Its been awhile since I've posted, I've just finished the first semester of my uni course and so far its been great fun, here are a few things that I have done.

The Barbarian stickers are supposed to be influenced by Frank Frazetta, was done for a main project of one unit.

The other characters and weapons were done for a game design unit.

The Mario Animation was my first go at hand animated something, was good fun.

The Sci Building was for one unit which you had to reinterpret your chosen space (mine was a boardwalk)

(Mario animation doesn't want to upload properly so i deleted it)

Now back to working my ass off on holidays.

[kikindaface]

Wow, niceimprovment! i especially like the zombie character ! really well done,good job

[Dilated]

Time to start posting again, work hard, play hard. Current focus is getting my imagination skills up.

Time to stop being a pussy and work towards something.

FUCK YEAH!

[Dilated]

Just some late night paintings,
the ball dude is sort of inspired by Mr.delicious' meat boy.

[Dilated]

Long time no post.

I've been hiding for a while and trying to improve, its second year in my illustration degree and I think I need to take everything to the next step. Possibly posting ever week to force myself to make finished work. enough of my thoughts.

First image is a mock up sci fi comic book cover for uni
Second is a illustration for uni portraying suspense
Third is an editorial illustration representing a sci fi article
Fourth is a life study
Fifth is a Phil Hale study
Sixthis a bad picture of my oil painting, realllllllllly bad at mixing co lours from life, something I need to work on.
And last is a bunch of sketches from my travel sketchbook

Lets get dreaming

[Dilated]

Sp and practice after.

Mediocrity can go die a horrible death, time to get INTENSE and start posting everything again, and not being lazy and finally take things to finish

[Dilated]

Didn't bump -__-

[kikindaface]

hey dude, good improvments ! I think you should try to not think about what is this value, and what is this one, but more about the general lights and shadow . For know, you shouldn't try toreproduce the exact same value, or it'd suck, but just think about getting good volumes with values, even if the contrast is a bit exagerrated, think about how the light is coming from, about the main shadows areas, you should squint, to see simplified values, or you could get easily lost in the amount of details ! It's the same for the features you're painting, it's like you painted them without relationships with the whole face, they seems unattached from the head ! try to understand the volume around the eyes to better paint it, and you should always understand something before painting it,because for someone who truly understand these stuff, he'll directly see if you understood or not ! So keep working and keep posting, i'm glad to see some stuff from you !

[Dilated]

Walid Thanks a lot man, you are definitely right, I dont understand value, there's sooo much to learn but I'm keen as hell.

Essentially I have come to the realization I have been focusing on to many areas and leaving everything else to be... shit is probably the most appropriate word.
Mooooooooooooooooooore

Studys
Sketches for development of my comic project
The second last bad boy is an illustration for a punk themed article for uni, I'm thinking of going for the half rendered and half graphic look because I have to make 10 of them in 3 weeks.
Last is a study of a plasticine head made for my comic project (thanks James Gurney)

Lets get Funky

[bpic]

adda boy. good to hear you came out of hiding with a second wind, weve all been there. where do you study at? keep on grinding away at those sketchbook pages.

[Dilated]

bpic Hey man thanks for comment, things like that are motivational, I'm studying Illustration at Curtin University Western Australia.

So a bunch of stuff from one of WIPS from my uni project, a car from observation and a drapery study from tutorial

Starting to finally understand how to really LEARN, lots of things got put into perspective this week.

Theres more stuff that I've been practicing like enviro's and industrial stuff but they are so behind compared to my other stuff but I'm working on it.

Also my comic is brewing, inking and colouring left to do.

[Dilated]

My Comic and some illustrations....

[Parsakoira]

terrific imagination! comic pages are looking good :) thanks for the stop-by!

[Dilated]

Crimson daggers is where I've been posting most of my stuff, but I wanted to post some more personal stuff.

More crimson daggers stuff and a Illustration which was originally a character concept ( probably can see from the awkward position ha) wanted to push and see what I could do without any ref at all, so its more of a technical exercise than a good composition etc etc.

New alien head which I learnt a lot from and was fun

and a bunch of concepts for a project at uni, so much to learn.

more Crimson dagger stuff to come

[Xelar]

I noticed that in almost all of your paintings the lighting is very diffuse.
Considering thats probably the hardest light to master you should try to paint some sceneries with more defined light sources. This way you can control your values more easily.

Keep it up :)

[Dilated]

Xelar Yeah good idea man thanks.

More thumbs for an upcoming uni project, damn these are fun.

those robot forms are awesome, i really like thelarge purple masses with the small figure in the front as well. youre killin it! awesome! one small thing i noticed in the palm tree one would be to vary the sizes/shapes of the trees a little, make them less uniform. perhaps having them recede a little would help some too. anyway keep it up! waiting on the next update! :)

Some more stuff, trying to slow down and break things down this time around. Started to try to apply the studies. I failed pretty hard with these however its allowed me to see the huge holes in my work process and knowledge. Also I need to make applications which gears towards what I want to do rather than just painting a dude in a suit....

The mech was done to apply a previous life study and the frog will be for a creature design.

[PieMonster]

Good stuff lately!
Impressive amount of studies, what you should do though, is really focus on applying what you learn in those studies to improve your own stuff. I can tell you're doing it already, but really focus on how faces are put together and stuff. Focusing on the nuances and such that make up a face will really help you in the long run, when making realistic heads. Sorry if I'm being really obvious here.
Keep at it man, you're definitely improving loads. Just try to really absorb what you're studying and apply it to your imaginary stuff!

[Dilated]

PieMonster Hey thanks man! yeah I sure do suck at heads, forever trying to overcome my all round structure problems. And yeah Applying studies is something I missed before, trying to fix that too.
