take a look :)

[Fregy]

Hi
After few months of visiting this page, I have decided to join you. Well I have the same desire as all of you do, but don't know how work on my self to achieve it. Here in the Czech Rep. it's quiet hard to find somebody who would help you out with this kind of artwork, or school that would support me. Right now I am studying product design, cause I think it's the closest I could get here. I think this is a great place to get advice and find the right way to go. I'll post some of my later work and will see what you think. I'll be happy for anything you'll tell me about my work, so please critique my work. I'll appriciate it. :yayca:

To the last two pictures: The sculpute is my final highschool project. As you can see it's one of my scifi abstract designs. The second thing is a guide book I have done as a part of the project. It's in a paper (first part) and digital form in flash (second). Hope you like it.

[Fregy]

Since all the teachers told me I will not make it far with those drawings in first post, I had to start with the traditional studies. I know I need it... so here are some of them.

[JustinBeckett]

WELCOME.

Are these copies? Or are they from your imagination? Either way most of your tech stuff is a great way to get your lines down efficiently. I think your drawing skills are strong enough to move on to some real studies.

Keep on drawing!

~JB

[Fregy]

Those tech stuff things are my imagination, I like to draw these a lot. My teachers aren't really happy about that but that's ok. I am trying to study anatomy and things like that, those study drawings are from my figure drawing class. I'll try to work harder on those. Thanks for the comment :)

[Fregy]

Well yeah I know... I am slow, need to pick it up
Anyway here is some new stuff, like small thumb line sketches of air crafts, the important thing was perspective for me. At the end are some studies of eyes. What do you think? Please comment my stuff, anything is wellcome.

[Fregy]

So... still nobody is commenting anything but that's ok :), I will not give up. Lately I have been working on some star fighter designs to get better in perspective and marker technique. Also I have been learing anatomy, basically skeleton first and some muscles. I did many drawings to this theme, but I am going to post only one of them since the others are the same. In this one I used the wooden figure to see the pose, and than did some drawing in like bones and muscles by memory. I know the head suck and some other things as well but it's just a start :). Hope it's getting better

[Dan Valkar]

welcome!!...nice crafts designs man! keep postin

[Fregy]

Whops I forgot... so this is from today, I have used the knowledge of skleton and few muscles that I learned this weekend. First I drew the skeleton pose and than drew in the muscles and other things. Basically the same thing I did before with the Mr. blue muscle, but with a real model. What do you think?

[Fregy]

To Dan Valkar
Thank you :) I am happy you like them. What I really like about this page is seeing other's progress. It makes me work harder and hope that one day I'll be really good. I went to your forum, and have to say you did a great improvement. Nice job

[Fregy]

Hey, so here is what I am doing in these days. The first term is getting to an end, so I have to get my school stuff done first. Than I will start where I have stoped in my CA training :) We have to do many studies of body parts and here are some of them. Feel free to criticise my drawings, I will appriciate it. :yayca:

[Fregy]

The way from school to home takes about 4 hours, so I did some drawings to use the time in a good way. The lines aren't perfect I know, often because of the bumbs on railroad :). I did some skeleton studies, here are some of them.

[Fraz]

In the last post, some of the skeletons seem to have weird proportions.
You have some great rendering above though, and some amazing design, just keep at it, and don't be discouraged by your teachers. Also, keep doing the anatomy studies, they will help you if you want to go into the concept art industry.
Good luck.

[Fregy]

Hey, so here is some more stuff. I know it's nothing detailed, but that was not the point. I just tried to practice the quick drawing and shape. I also tried to come up with some new shapes tan those before. I have put this here so you know I didn't stop drawing :). School keeps me busy. And also most of the drawings have been done whlie traveling in train. So the quality is not good.

[Fregy]

Hey, so... I am trying to stop playing world of warcraft and do more drawings. This is what came from my trying. I think that the shape is much better from before. But I guess it will be better if somebody else will judge it. Hope you like it, and wish me good luck with not playing that damn good game.

[Fregy]

School gets harder and harder... here is something I did during boring classes. After the end of semestr I'll focus more at CA.

[Imaginary]

Whatever those teachers said your vehicles look awesome and your rendering in the studies of eyes and all that other stuff seems to be pretty much awesome too. Just keep it up! ;)

[Fregy]

Hey so here is some of my life drawing classes. The first one is from the last week, and the last one from today. I have to say that the second drawing is really bad... especially the face part. I did it over and over again and than I have ren out of time so it end up to be like this.... I have to pracitce more those heads. I have some more pics, but I have to find the scan first. :yayca:

[sjuskadur]

dude some of your pencils are amazing.. love the shuttles at the top! keep it up mate

[Fregy]

So most of the work for my school is done, but still not all. Anyway here are some quick sketches, nothing detailed. I have tried to do some anatomy drawings, especially faces. I did more of those, but I guess one example is enough :). Than I did some more ships to practice perspective, and right after that some robot's parts and robots it self. The last picture is just a try for a soldier. I know the head is too big and amrs too long. I did this kind of a picture for the first time. Anyway feel free to tell me your opinion or what else should I draw. I would like to know what you think. :yayca:

[Fregy]

Something I did during my vacation. I'll stop drawing ships soon cause I would like to learn something new. Hope you like it... altho I'll be happy if you at least take a look. :yayca:

[Bill]

Nice vehicle work. I like them.

[Fregy]

Since I am trying to draw everyday, I decided to focus on heads for now. I would like to be able draw people, but so far I kind of suck. But... it gets beeter I think. Here are drawings I have done, I'll post more later. I try not to focus on details and draw quickly with out shadows. :yayca:

[DoubleThink]

Take a magazine, and draw every face in it ;)

4 hours to get to school?
Do you do that every day?
Respect dude :p

You need to try use the confidence you have with those marker drawings & use those on the faces, people...

Practice some mouths, looks like you haven't really mastered those.

And what paper is that you guys draw on A1? that's pretty sweet :p

greetz

[JohnID]

Hey, nice ships.

Do you go to school for art, and if so, what is your major?

I'm an industrial designer and i definitely appreciate your ship designs.

Ok, a magazine sounds like a good idea :). Till now I was drawing only a 3D head model on the posemaniacs web page. 4 hours every week or two, that would kill me if I had to do it every day :). I hope that my face sketeches will be better after some time. I need to get into it. I'll focus on detailes onece I'll be able to draw the whole head properly, but thanks for the hint. The paper we are using at school is a huge paper roll. It's pretty big actually :).

[Fregy]

Hey, nice ships.

Thank you wery much, I am so glad you like the ship designs :). I love machines of all kind. I can't draw it for my school tho since my teacher doesn't like it, cuase in his opinion it doesn't work and so it's useless. I am happy you like it, as an industrial designer :), that means a lot to me.

Yes I do attend an art school. My major is product design, but that's just a name of our art studio. It depends on the students what they want to design (and what they are capable to do).

Hey Fregy,

I read your post in my thread, and that's funny, I did a lamp for my final project as well. It was retractable so it would expose more or less light depending on how much you expanded or contracted the shade. Basically like those light switches where you can adjust the brightness of the light, except mine was manual.

Art Center is a really excellent school, it's definitely my school's "Rival" school. They do really awesome work.

maybe since your teacher doesn't like spaceships since they're not practical, do cars or motorcycles or some kind of already-existing vehicle?

I might try some cars designs, but I didn't do it yet since I think it's much harder than a space ship. I wanted to learn the basics of perspective by drawing spaceships. Now that I kind of know, I might try. Tanks for the idea :). Altho I have to finish the lamp first, the deadline is close. :yayca:

[Fregy]

Here are some new things I have done lately. I am trying to learn how to draw human body in different poses. Also I would like to learn drawing faces. Even tho I am trying, it seems to me that I don't know how exactly I sould practice and what should I draw. Can you tell me guys what should I foucus on? Ok so here are the drawings.

[Fregy]

I hope I am not braking any rules or laws by posting this here. I put all the copyright stuff at the bottom of the page. So here is what I was working on for few past days. I think it gave me a lot, and now I'll try to apply those rules on my designs. Will se what will come up of that. :yayca:

[Warforce17]

Impressive stuff here.
Even if your teacher say it I think the most interesting thing to watch are your vehicles. Really like their design.
I save this thread and I´m waiting for new stuff.

Thank you for your support :) appriciate it. Sorry for not quoting sooner, I haven't noticed that a new page was added to my thread. I am going to come up with some new wehicles soon, I hope you will like them as well. You are level 3 Gladiator, how did you get a higher level? I am still just 1, and I don't know what to do to achieve a higher lvl. Bye and keep drawing, your work is getting better every drawing you do.

If it was a sign of talent I would be really happy :P

You just have to post more and at a special number your level increases.

[Fregy]

Here are finally some of my designs. I think that the improvmenet in perspective thanks the tutorial is pretty big. I still have to figure out the line thicknes to add some more depth, so it doesn't look so flat. I don't know why but in the last picture I like the drawing more than the rendered picture. Hope you like it, I am going to use this kind of technique in my other space ship drawings as well.

[Sagittarius]

Ahoj Fregy ;)
Jsi první ČECH, kterého vidím tady na conceptart.org. Díval jsem se na tvou galerii jen chvíli, ale napravím to snad zítra, moc se mi tvé práce líbí. Nevím, jestli ti svými připomínkami nějak pomůžu, ale aspoň budeš vědět, že tě sleduju ;) Na které škole se učíš? Já jsem minulý rok propásl přijímací zkoušky na umprůmky, teď toho lituju. Třeba si udělám představu, co jsem na některé z uměl. škol mohl dělat.:yayca:

No nápodobně :) taky jsem tady ještě čecha nepotkal. Jsem rád že se ti má práce líbí :). Koukal jsem na tvoje a teda klobouk dolů, docela jsem čuměl, fakt dobrý. Máš dobře zmáklou digitální malbu, k tomu se taky chci časem dopracovat. Ale nejdřív musím zvládnout základy. Jinak studuju v Plzni na Ústavu umění a designu, v oboru produktový design. Vtip je v tom že kromě studií, tu na stránkách není nic co bych dělal pro školu. Nemají to rádi, takže makám doma :). Jak víš tak CA se v Čechách dost dobře studovat na VŠ nedá, takže musíme hledat alternativy. Studuješ někde? Nebo co plánuješ? Na Umprum musíš hodně a často chodit během roku na konzultace k nim do ateliéru jinak jsi bez šance, musí tě už znát když tam pak příjdeš na příjímačky. Zatim :yayca:

[Fregy]

I had way too much free time today so I decided to try some of gesture drawing. I know it's nothing special but I believe that if I'll keep this phase it's going to be better soon. I didn't want to shock anybody with these drawings :), it's just to show you guys I am still trying to get better :yayca:.
Also I am using any kind fo scrap paper for practicing, so sometimes there is a text on the other side :).

[Janos]

I liek what I'm seeing. The face studies are very nice and it is the best direction to take to get better. Your vehicles are awesome, something I suck at.

Cheers

[merl1n]

hey, thanks for dropping by my thread.... I've look through your sb and I shall say that you are on the right way to be very good.. keep it up

ahoj, tak koukám, že docela jedeš, děláš to správně, studuješ anatomie, figuru, skicuješ.... jen tak dál... kolik ti vůbec je a na jakou chodíš školu?

[Fregy]

Hi
These posters were made for a club celebration in a scifi theme. I wansn't told what exactly they want. Just that it has to be 15 pieces of A3 paper format and has to have something to do with future. So I made up some sights and abstract scifi objects. I used markers to do the shading and later on added those black spaces in photoshop. It has been quiet difficult for me, since my focus of drawing was mainly at machines it self, not enviroment or characters. I did my best for now tho. Tell me what you think. I hope you like it.

[Fregy]

Here are some of them, I am not going to post all. Some are too small or not good enought to be shown.

[Fregy]

Here is one pic from today and one from last month I guess. I don't shade that much cause I still have problems to catch the form properly. What do you think?

[Ashtonw]

Hi dude, sorry for saying you suck at figures, you obviously are not avoiding the subject. I'm going to try to be a little more helpful. :) Talking about the guy in the chair:

1)His foot is square. Actually the whole lower leg is stubby. You scrunched up his feet and legs because you ran out of paper, which is no better than just cutting them off. Plan ahead, think about composition. You don't have to use the edges of your paper, you can draw a border and work inside that. Don't indicate anything too darkly, work over the entire figure until it fits in the composition and is the correct proportion. Use the negative spaces to help you draw. Lay the foundations for a solid drawing.

2)Don't forget you are creating a work of art. Don't slack off on what the model is sitting on. Not saying you should work on it as long as the figure... but you shouldn't scribble it in either. :)

3)You are way, way too concerned with contour! Which I understand, I am fascinated by the millions of curved surfaces that make up a person... but it is not nearly as important to creating a solid drawing as form.

In the beginning stages of drawing, after the composition is worked out and your figure fits the page, you should concentrate on form. Instead of drawing loose, messy strings to indicate the edges of the body you should be drawing big simple forms. They don't need to be blocks and spheres, but they need to be much simpler than what is going on in your drawing.

I don't know if you've seen this, but I love Kevin Chen's figure drawings, and seeing how he breaks the figure down into forms.

Hey

NEED HELP HERE: PLEASE SOMEBODY TELL ME AN ANOTHER STEP IN CHARACTER DESIGN AFTER LEARING ANATOMY

For last week I have been studying human anatomy. So far I kind of know the whole sceleton and muscles, except feets and hands. Will keep working on that. I did most of the drawings from memory, but sometimes I needed to take a look to make sure it's right. I also used a couple of pics from posemaniacs. I made up some of the poses to try put the muscles on. What do you think? And please tell me the next step.

[Monsieur Salem]

I admire your training enthusiasm. I wish I had will to work as hard as you do.

[Fregy]

Here are some more of my anatomy sketches. I am trying to apply the konwledge of human sceleton and muscles in poses. I am trying to do most of the sketches by memory and imaginaton. Only one sketch is done from posemaniacs... I'll continue working on that.. until I wont suck in figure drawing :). Wish me good luck with that.

[Fregy]

Some stuff I did recently. School kept me busy, hope to add more later. These are just a concepts of a fantasy robots. Some are studies of parts and joints. Others are character designs. :yayca:

also, I got an Intuos 4 few days ago, so I tried to draw some poses for practice, I need to practice way more tho

[donalfall]

Your people need a bit of work still, although if you apply yourself the same way you obviously have in your perspectives, designs and marker renderings you'll be there in no time. The life drawings were nice too. Nice work so far.

[Monsieur Salem]

also, I got an Intuos 4 few days ago, so I tried to draw some poses for practice, I need to practice way more tho

:wtf: Wow! You got Intuos4? Which size? I'm seriously thinking of buying one. Is it worth the money? Is it better than the Intuos3 from our school? better then Cintiq? Excousez moi curiosité : )

Btw finally you've posted something new! I like the one picking crystals... are these elipses freehand?

[Monsieur Salem]

This is an assasin cog, I tried my best with the tablet. This is kind of my first digital painting I really tried to finish. Still a lot of things to learn and do.

I did many small sketches of different cog guys. I picked this one to try out.

Not bad.
1) The highlights are a bit disturbing and illogical as the material seems to be rusted, scratched and dusty. They shouldn't be so sharp and shiny.
2) Work a bit on line weight. Make the line wider where it touches the ground or where it is in shade. (check that Design Sketching ebook)
3) Use different way to express perspective than lowering the opacity. This makes it look like two separated objects. Reducing details or changing the lineweight would make it more natural.
4) More shading. Focus on volume first than on a texture.

Still realy nice post, definitly better than my first computer sketches.

[Jazz]

Fregy, I peeked through your SB, and I admire how much work you're doing! Very cool to practice as much as you have! Where you seemed shaky with human anatomy and proportion, I see the details are getting smoother, more assured. The same goes with your machines! I also noticed you're putting more variety in the styles of your machines, so that's great!

Keep up the good work, you're definitely getting somewhere! How are you doing with character design? To direct yourself some, perhaps gathering references of things, people, whatever you can to give you an idea of what kind of character you want to make. You can use what you collect to formulate some paper and "mind" sketches before you go to town with the character creation! Of course, I'm still a baby at this so I hope to practice what I preach. :P

Someone may have already told you some info, but I wanted to encourage you further. :D

As for your digital art, there are some things to consider:

Think of your light source(s) before you start just painting. This may go for ambient light as well. Now, you might just have a generic background lit in that last picture, but since I see a cast shadow down there, that means there is definitely a light directed at it from above somewhere. Just be sure you get an idea of where that light is, find references with similar lighting, then you can really flesh out your work. :D

This goes for your shadows and higlights as well. I see sparkles all over that awesome cog. But are they where they "should" be? Not sure! Also, the flames up top. They need to "glow" more, but if they do, is the flame light brighter than that other light that is casting the shadow? It will influence how your cog is shaded!

I also agree about the perspective--rather, the distance of parts on the cog. While the idea of fading into the ambient colour is right (as far as I recall), one thing that makes the hind parts look "apart" from the rest is that they look far away. Or the air is REALLY thick, really dense! ;)

Use the shadows, where light won't hit the hind parts because the front parts are shielding them. So, you can darken the hind legs and such a little more because it's not getting as much light! That kind of thing. The change of line weight is also a great idea, plus even line colour.

Pardon me for the length of this post. I saw how much you were working over time on your stuff, and I just wanted to acknowledge it, encourage you! I hope you're doing well. Good stuff! ^_^

[Monsieur Salem]

Sorry for not replying sooner. Got to busy by drawing the cog. First of all, I got Intuos 4 L, the activ part is about A4. And it's definitely better than Intuos 3. The size is more practical than the older version, and working with it is much easier. Actually if you would like, we can meet so you can try out on your own, because I am going to come to Plzen in few days. I guess nothing is better than Cintique... , and I guess the intuos was worth the money, at least for me. To be honest, I was about to discuss with you the tablet before the DTD exame, but I did not for some reason...

...By the way, nice Škoda design, what did Pelikán said?

Congrats, A4 size is IMHO the best one, big enough not to be limited and small enough to make it easy to work with. I'm damn sure you'll use it to make some gorgeous works. I'm looking forward.
Hey! I would really appreciate chance to try your tablet, unfortunetly I'm leaving Pilsen on Wednesday (the 1st of JU) and returning the 13th so it depends on your arrival.
As for the skoda design I'm not sure about Pelikans opinion as I sent it via email... but I'm not very happy with the result myself.

[Hipalien]

Fregy great stuff. I don't have too much to say about what you are doing as a few others here have said it best. Just keep drawing as you seem to be on the right path and listen to your teachers, yet stick to your interests. I have met many a pro or read interviews where some teachers in their past seemed to be against in some ways their interest in doing art in the comic book field, video games, film, etc. Yet in the end the students did what they wanted. I have been lucky to have supportive teachers in the past with doing the type of art I wanted to do. Still respect and take all the information you can from any teacher as what they give you could very well help you with where ever you want to go with your art.

[wild thing]

cool stuff, going to echo everyone else and say your machines are looking pretty good. you were asking about the next steps in character design and i would suggest costume and clothing, it will take you far. ca's own references forum has some great threads to get you started. you can also work on giving them some expression and character too.
and now that you have access to a tablet it will be interesting to see what you do with colour! good luck :)

[Dr.Blindsy]

My GOD your vehicle designs are INCREDIBLE!!

:D thank you for sharing. Your studies just need practice. I can't see anything to point out that WON'T be corrected by it.

Keep at it dood!

[zippy]

Love the steampunk robots man. Don't think you'll need to change much to get people to visit here often. I see a good deal of improvement from the first to last post and it looks like you're developing a really cool style with your stuff. I really like your choice of colors in most of these last ones also.

[Fregy]

30 minutes of posemaniacs 30sec drawing, 30 minutes of portrait practice. still need to practice a lot tho :yayca:

[Fregy]

Need to work on the heads... way more

[Fregy]

So, I kind of tried to work more on the portaits. Used 3D model from Zbrush. Didn't post any posemaniacs... since it's all the same.

[Fregy]

Theese are a day old, I have focused at anatomy tutorials, so I guess I wont post anything for some time.

[tdHendrix]

Hey, I like your figure drawing stuff. The robot designs are cool. Some of your figures seems kinda stiff though. Check out this (http://conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1798617&postcount=22) post. It might help with that. Good luck with the structure of man DVDs. After a while you'll be able to start drawing the human figure from your mind just like the DVDs says.

[Fregy]

I am studying theese tutorials by Phoenix (hope the spelling is right, I could not find the name anywhere). So here are two pages from the practicing I have been doing to memorize the stuff I have learned so far. :yayca: feel free to tel me what you think

[Fregy]

I am still studying theese tutorials. Need to speed it up tho, still many to get it done. Here is a page I did, there are more of them, but since it's a practice and studying I guess one is enought. :yayca:

[Fregy]

Ok, I know you have seen this for thousand time already, just another guy trying to learn something about anatomy. I just wanted to post something to show that I didn't stop drawing. :yayca:

[Fregy]

Finally got done with the sceleton, now working on the muscles.

[Fregy]

noses, for some reason the first ones are better. will try again tomorrow

[Monsieur Salem]

Wow. Seems like your best anatomical study so far. I like the second batch more.

[Fregy]

Ok, so I still try to learn more about human anattomy and figure. Now I am working on the head. It's kind of harder than I thought, I am able to draw basic head with it's proportions from my mind. But I still need to work a lot on making it look like human beeing. Any comments are very wellcome. What next step should I take in impoveing the head part? I guess I'll start to do portraits and stuff.

[Fregy]

So, after a long brake I post something new. I didnt stop drawing tho. I was studying the anatomy as I said, and I thought it might be boring just post the same things over and over again. So since I finally know the muscles and their location I started to work on poses. Here is a bunch. For better practice I did some studies from pose maniacs and those poses with a red dot have been done with no refference. Any comments are very wellcome. :yayca:

[Fregy]

Work from today. I went throught some tutoriasl about how to draw gesture drawing. So here is the result of my learning. The first pictures are done with refference from posemaniacs, the second are done form my mind. Any comments are VERY wellcome. Thank you. :yayca:

[Fregy]

So, today I tried one more detailed sketch without a refference. Than I decided to work more on pose and its dynamic. So I did bunch from posemaniac, and again those with red dot are done without a reff. :yayca:

[Fregy]

Well, so I am trying to get more in to a pose. Make it faster and better, not much details, trying to make sure the main parts are done well... this is what I got from today. some of it is with ref some are not. :yayca:

[Fregy]

Long time at school, so nothing much done today. I have to look up some more tutorials about gesture drawing... it still looks not good enough to me. :yayca:

[Fregy]

So as I said I looked up bunch of tutoryals. I think it helped me a lot. My focus was dynamic and action poses. Anatomy and proportions will be added later, once I ll be able to do good action poses. So, the plan so far is to practice the poses and move on to an another pose tutorial. :yayca:

all the pics were done with no refferenc

[Fregy]

Update from today. Again the same stuff as before, tried to make it more dynamic by practicing poses and such. Also went throught a tutorial of animation to get an idea about motion. Will look up a head tutorial, so I can stop drawing those crosses acros the face :). :yayca:

PLEASE COMMENT THIS THREAD I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. just about 30 people visits this thread every time I post something, but never leave a note. please please please, anything...

[Fiddzy]

Great Anatomy Studies you have got going on in here (something I am starting myself).

Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with them, at least as far as I can tell. Just keep at it and more people will start commenting eventually.
What I would recommend is maybe starting to do some more detailed sketches, really focusing on one area, such as hands (for example), then start looking into the finer details of their structure.

Keep up the good work.

[Fregy]

So, another figure practice. I did it in a class room, hiding it so teacher doesnt get mad that I am not paying attention. I just dont get why we have to have some subjects... it seems to me like a waste of time. Anyway, I started with the head tutorial, made it to a skull so far. Will post some later.

[Fregy]

:yayca: Went throught another tutorial, head as I said before. Here is the result... I still need to practice a lot, this is with no reff I am trying to memoryze everything by endless practicing. Tomorrow I should go for the mouth part and so on. After that I would like to practice by looking at a plaster sculpt head.

[Fregy]

Some heads I tried, also applied it on a body, hope it looks ok. Still need to practice a lot tho. Tomorrow I'll try to draw the sculpt heads to get better. :yayca:

[Fregy]

So today I tried to draw some plaster heads. Was harder than I thought tho. Here are some drawings worth showing... had to get into it at least a little bit. I'll keep working on that to get better

[Fregy]

even tho I have spent almost 8 hours studying and drawing today, theese are the only pictures worth showing. I looked up a lot of books and tried to learn how to draw hands, but it didnt work out well. So I decided to draw hands from a book by Hogarth. I guess it gave me a lot, so tomorrow I'll post some hands with no reff. :yayca:

[Fregy]

Hi, this is work I was doing for a fantasy project. It might have looked like I was not doing much thouse couple months agou (that long breake between posts), but I was working. I would like to show you what I am capable of for now in concepting props, buildings and some machines. And I want to keep improving (I mean all sides of concept art). Some of it has been here before, but I have deleted it. Any critique is very wellcome. Hope you like it :yayca:.

[Fregy]

Practice from today. Again, needed some refference form posemaniacs models... guess I need to look it up first. Than I can try withou reff. Will see what tomorrow brings :). :yayca:

[Fregy]

I went to the studio again, tried to draw with reff. My girlfriend says that most of the heads I did are wery simillar to mine. Dont know why. Anyway, I aslo tried some poses, but mainly the head. I did few pages of hands as well but they look dump, so maybe next time :). :yayca:

[geeshin]

cool! i really dig your asset concepts. very cool style you got going on.

[Fregy]

Well... I need a help from you guys. The heads still suck.. when you draw head, do you start with a construction first? Its bugging me... I guess Ill have to start with doing many many MANY doodles of heads, and than it pops up better.

[Fregy]

Hey, another update for today. I did all this stuff on a train during my way home. No reff, and lots of bumbs on the road :). As I said before, I am trying the technique of many smaller sketches, and hope it gets better after some time. :yayca:

sorry for the big pictures, there is no photoshop on this computer, so I will edit them after I get back to my laptop

[Fregy]

Stuff from today, I am trying to frequently repeat things I have learnt. Still hawing a bit diffuculties with hands. Will work on that. :yayca: no reff for any of theese

[Fregy]

This is work from today (not all pages tho). I have been practicing hands (including mine, that has hurt sometimes because of long drawing XD). Some pictures are done with reff, the last picture is all with out any reff. I know I have to keep practicing, but I guess theese basics are good enough for now, so I'll move on to the foot again. :yayca:

[Fregy]

Work from today, 4 straight hours. I practiced hands again, foot, and than I did a research and an attempt to draw face expression of pain, happines and anger. :yayca:

[Fregy]

Hey, I did this while taking a train to my home. Just about 3 hours of drawing (didnt post all of it) + repeating stuff from anatomy. :yayca: Any comments are wery wellcome.

[Fregy]

Sorry for not posting for some time. I have been busy with school work. And than I had to take a time off to recover :). So here is my update from today. I have been practicing expressions again, more intesly. So far I made it to joy, sadness, anger. I would like to learn two more tomorrow + repeating the old onse. I know some heads are off, but since theese are just quick sketches I dont really care. Any comments are very wellcome. :yayca: time to get some sleep

I didnt use any refference, except for studying the shapes of face at the begining, than I did all the others from my mind.

[Fregy]

Finished suprise and fear expression today. Did studies of differences between mens and womens body and faces. :yayca:

[LAL]

oh！god！A lot of practice！I think you are very hard! I learn from you!The mecha set are very great！！that‘s nice work！

[spoonfruit]

Excellent stuff bro!!! :D Love posts 40 and 82!!! 82 reminds of Ratchet and Clank!! :) Keep em coming!

[mike butkus]

Looking good keep up the hard work.

[Fregy]

Did women figure studies today. I started with some photos, than posemaniacs, ended up trying some without refference. This is my first attempt tho.. so I'll keep working on this. :yayca:

[cannibal]

I really like the sense of motion i get from your figure drawings! the poses you draw really feel like they're moving and not just standing there. Though some of the more still-poses seem like they're floating a bit, but that's probably just because there's no background :P

very nice sir :D

[LostFayth]

Nice amount of studies. Keep it up :D I like the facial expressions.

[Barnik]

Hey there, I can see a lot of sketches here, nice work but I recommend you to practise some working with charcoal on white/brown paper 100x70cm - It reall helps, you can focus on pose, anathomy and general overlook.
About faces? Dont give me wrong but you should stop drawing expressions and instead draw some precise head anatomical studies (grammar/vocabulator mailfunction?) and then go up to the harder stuff. First head construction, skull, muscules, skin, lightning. Then expression. And I encourage you to take your sketchbook everywhere you go draw a lot your friends and random people(better if they don't know about it - face expression will be more natural). That's all from me. Keep on working :D

[Fregy]

First of all, thank you sooo much for the comments :). I will reply to each of them tomorrow. Its getting too late over here now. Here is an update from today. I tried some women figures and heads, also did studies of eyes and lips. Than did a quick sketch of figures again. :yayca:

Thank you again :)

[Twan]

glad to see you work really hard! good job with faces expression!
i advice you to realize finished stuff from mind (don't do always quick studdies)
and have fun!

[LAL]

hi Fregy，good works！keep it up！

[Fregy]

Update from today, didnt have much time tho :( too many classes at school every tuesday. Anyway I did some studies of nose and ear. Thanks again for all the posts :), I have replied at all of them in your sketchbooks.

[LostFayth]

Nice amount of studies. It looks like your getting down the form and volume rather quickly.

Thank you for the reply in my sketchbook. To reply back: Thank you. I do draw lots, but I feel like I can draw even more. I don't come to a three hours a day, like you do. I have a main focus which I study upon: Anatomy. Right now I'm tackling hands. But furthermore I just draw what I feel like. It has to be fun and a learning experience at the same time. The studies are from George Bridgman: Link to amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Bridgmans-Complete-Guide-Drawing-Life/dp/1402766785/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1269452398&sr=8-1)

Keep up your studies. You will get there! :D

[merl1n]

Hey, what a nice collection of studies. And those industrial designs rock!
See ya

Ahoj, vidim, ze nelenis :). A jdes na to uplne dobre. Ty anatomicky studuje sou moc pekny a ten industrial design taky. Kam chodis na skolu?

[Fregy]

Thanks for the comments :). Did studies of womens figure. Tried to be accurate and make sure the pose is the way its suppose to be. All with reff. Have to practice more on shading. :yayca:

[Fregy]

something today, sadly nothing much done :(, hopefully tomorrow will be better.

[Fregy]

Stuff from today... tried to practice poses and portraits... was kind of harder than I thought. Here is a bunch of pictures that are at least a little bit worth showing. :yayca:

[Fregy]

Hey, update from couple days... not all pics tho. Was on a vacation. Tried to practice hands, portraits, details of face such as eyes etc. :yayca:

[Fregy]

only one practice picture today, spent most of the time studying shading tutorials by Robertson... :yayca:

[Fregy]

Again... just a one page...

[xxPurple Nugxx]

AWESOME

[Whirly]

I find your improvment very encouraging for my own work :)

Please keep doing it :D

[Fregy]

Drawings from a train I had to take to get home. Tried to practice all kinds of things.

[Fregy]

Another sketches done in a train heading to my school. :yayca:

[Fregy]

applying knowledge gained form shading tutorials by S.Robertson, went throught 1st dvd tho. 2 more to go.

[Fregy]

more practicing with light and value. Also did a lot of small pencil sketches.

[Fregy]

Finally made it throught all 3 dvds. So now I'll keep practicing gained information.

[Fregy]

another practice, no refference all has been constructed on paper

[cptcrandall]

very nice sketcheez! I like that you have a solid blend of mechanical and organic human anatomy! Keep rocking on

[silvestri99]

Really nice anatomy work. Are you working from a model or from a book?

[Fregy]

thanks for the comments guys, I will reply to them tomorrow. another update, tried to work out some thumbnails. not really satisfied with it... have to practice more. also did some crosshatching practice

[Fregy]

OK... I know this is crap.. but I tried. Attempt for a character design, and some clothes studies.

[Fregy]

I did quie a brain storming of concepts today. Tried to come up with many different concepts, by quick sketching without much thinking. :yayca:

[Fregy]

another practice of characters :yayca:

[Fregy]

Study of an armor

[Fregy]

well another practice of cross hatching, any comments how to get better at this thing are wery wellcome.

[Fregy]

Study of a Roman armor, just tried to memorize the armor and the way its build, next time I'll try some more interesting poses, similar to those above

[Fregy]

figure and hand studies

[Fregy]

Not many updates, school keeps me busy

[OsuD]

Pekne doufam ze skracujes i cas......:)

[Fregy]

[MattGamer]

those last enviros are very nice. i like the gesture quality of this (http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=970777&stc=1&d=1273144752). do that more in your studies. don't just copy, really understand what you're drawing. draw draw draw!! go go go! :]

[Fregy]

.....

[Fregy]

Trying to get the konwledge of digital paiting. This is still work in progres tho. Hopefuly I will get it done soon.

[OsuD]

No tak to se mi libi......dobre pojato.....koukam ze lekce 1 se vyplatila....tesim se na dalsi...:sungod:
Ten digi paint je dost dobry jak uz jsem rekl a jsem zvedavy na final color.....:yum:

[Fregy]

:yayca:

[GuruGaia]

Wow your mechanized objects are really impressive. Your anatomy has made a lot of progress as well. I am glad that the advice from everyone is really hitting on the points that you need to improve your ability all around. My only advice for you is to listen to everyone and draw everything "I'm starting again and watching other progress is becoming a huge inspiration" Keep up the hard work I am loving it.

[Fregy]

:yayca:

[Fregy]

Enviroment concept, ogre and a small guy concept, a flying ship concept

[Fregy]

digital paint practice

[OsuD]

Pěkný a dobrý materialy.....:D

[Fregy]

an older finished work. Another practice, next time I would like to work on atmosphere and colors...

[raminafshari]

i think we have so much in common , i adore your way of drawing .

[Fregy]

hey, here is someting I tried... I saw a tutorial working with photo composition, so I gave it a try in my way.

[Fregy]

I am quiet busy with school now... but I am not going to give up on concept art :). Here are some sketches I have done lately. I am trying to learn more about form in perspective. I still have a long way ahead tho. Thanks for watching :)

[Fregy]

Here are pencil sketches that I would like to try finish with markers... will se how that goes

[Velocity Kendall]

wow i took a look and im glad. tonnes of practice going on, its amazing.
these are the ones that popped out; i particularly liked the life studies on the brownish (newsprint?) paper; they were a cut above
heres my favourites
