Luís_Sketchbook & Studies

[luismbf]

After a long time avoiding it... i finally decided to create a sketchbook here. Personally i think my current state of art is quite stagneted. Therefore i hope i can get some help and critics here to help me improve :)

The following drawings are a bit old but nevertheless i think should post them

hello matte :) honestly i dont have much to critic, some proportions issues here and there, but things that i bet you already notice long time ago ( 1st character, ear to low and small, neck to long, eyes are not centered and the size are to diferent etc... ) issues that you can work out with anatomy study and practice from life. keep it up and post more

an update!
warning this stuff is pretty raw xD

the first ones are gesture sketches that i drew from random people at a garden

the other ones are simple live studies and the last one was to studie body perspective...not perfect but it's actually good to have this commitment to draw every day something :)

one more drawing i made yesterday...This is a tatoo idea

Nice sketchbook so far! The last one in your first post is definitely my fave... love the textures/design. For the more realistic studies - just keep it up. I'd suggest drawing from life - recording what you see (not what you think you see... dont think of objects like noses, arms, whatever... just see the shapes, forms and how they work with one another)

Keep it up!

[luismbf]

one more sketch unfinished
I think there´s something wrong with the feet perspective on this one. Plus the arms and legs seem a bit slim and stiff.

interesting skechbook!

[luismbf]

New sketches

Second one was a rough sketch to show my cousin a character concept

[Call0ps]

nice to see that you are keeping this updated ^^ ohh that portrait of the lady reveals a big jump man, try not to go so fast into the rendering, work out more the lines, either way its a good work ^^ Keep it up

[luismbf]

Jovem, tudo o que posso dizer é keep it up e não desmazeles! Post more often okay?

[Call0ps]

[Nina Simone]

Faz um desenho de Natal! (sugeri isso ao meu irmão mas ele não quis...). Go on! Draw! I want to see NEW stuff.

[luismbf]

a little update i have to rescan the rest ..
Need further improvement! more work!

[Nina Simone]

O 2º desenho do post é o meu favorito - gostei do olhar da personagem. No primeiro desenho o antebraço esquerdo da rapariga parece estranho e as maminhas estão muito para cima. Também ha aspectos da cara que poderias melhorar (nariz e boca). Nice hair though.
O terceiro desenho... man that really looks like you! Lol. Joking.

Dedica-te mais e irás ver os resultados.
Não postes só uma vez por mês! Tenta fazê-lo com regularidade, e ganha esse hábito, porque isso acaba por ser um grande incentivo para seres mais produtivo.
Just keep going ^^

[Call0ps]

wow esses ultimos 3 desenhos mostraram uma grande evoluçao! o teu trabalho tem compensado ^^ continua!

[luismbf]

I have been away for sometime. Recently i got into Fine arts in Porto but i haven't got a decent net connection :/ i will try to post sketches more often even quick digitals :) i hope i can get more active here on the forums :)
Peace
