Ross update! APRIL 3rd SPORADIC BURST OF IMAGES UPDATE, 50+ images

[rossipoo]

Hi, I'm Ross!
I'm 16 years old And i like making my own worlds and getting lost in them. In my world, i am leet sauce level 293849302 with awesome gear,epic mounts and shtuff, hope you like the progression as i make new expansion packs for my world. Im constantly updating with new patches every now and then to keep you guys coming back and i am also trying to make it worth looking at. For better content and new features, please go to the last page :D


latest post please :)

[FightingSeraph]

Good job, Ross. My favorites are the Pink-haired girl and the one with the angel wing motif.

[Flashback]

Nice sketch book!

were you studying geometry (in the fifth drawing from the first post)?

[rossipoo]

Nice sketch book!

were you studying geometry (in the fifth drawing from the first post)?

Thank you! Haha well no, but it was a math class, those were just extra scraps of paper she handed out for scratch paper.

[rossipoo]

Sketchity sketch... and imcomplete characters.

[Mat Kaminski]

Quick comment: Wowza... I'd say you are improving very fast! :D

[tomjones]

There's an energy to some of your sketches that I really like. It would be cool to see some more dynamic poses like the dancing guy with braces in your last post.

more please :)

[jatherip]

nice sketchbook, but e.g. to the alien warrior girl you should add some details in the point of interest (i think her head in this piece) because that shows the viewer where to look at!!

[bharat]

good sketchings n all...!

[Pluscandy]

Your sketches have so much life! I love how you do Faces!:D

[tomjones]

Wow you've been busy since I last checked out your sketchbook - good work! The dynamic poses are showing some definite potential, I like that you've not shied away from difficult poses. The archer is my favourite - I think you've nailed some of the muscle masses much more. Watch that the torso doesn't get too cramped though :)

It would be great to see some of the energy from these sketches in your standing poses. Something I always have to remind myself is that standing doesn't neccessarily mean static. For instance it would have been cool if your warrior girl was in a proper battle stance - feet spread, knees bent, etc. Sometimes it helps me to imagine a little scene for the characters to be 'acting' in.

Great to see so much more new work though - thanks for dropping by my sketchbook too! :)

[vayne108]

Doing nicely so far!! keep it up with the studies and stuff.

[Izer]

Hey looking good, Incorporating a bit of anime/manga seems to work for you, so thats cool. I dig this one http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=627565&stc=1&d=1237856505 , mostly the girls expression.

[Dahami]

Good work with the whole female manga elf figure thing. Keep drawing. I'd love to see more.

[Janos]

Love your anatomy and linework. YOu really manage to bring some movement to poses. Any chance to see some more finished projects?

[Krato]

we should make a group or something,i dont know... you went on my sketchbook and said that stuff, so why not?




p.s. mail me a scanner :P

[Jovian M]

Slick stuff, dude. Dig the mage assassin.

[Chiko]

Nice work you have here, certainly better than I was at 16. Keep up with the studies. You might want to focus on practicing eyes because I've notice alot of your paintings they seem off, a bit misshaped, or dead.

Otherwise keep it up, you're on the right track.

[Krato]

YOU: Sure dude! WHAT SHALL WE NAME IT!?!?! Btw show me how to do the link word thing, i mean i cant find out how to make it so that my whole link fits into a URL Word thing yeah.. -.-

PS i like the buildings! keep it up!

Um, by what i think your saying with the URL are you asking how to put your Sketchbook URL under a different name? Like mine? If i remember correctly you simply copy your sketchbook URL than highlight a name you set up in your edit sig page and that set it up as a link.

i dont know if that helped, but if not i can go back to my sig and do it again and have a clearer sig.


As for a group i thought about having some sort of a sad/animal name.

Ex. The Balding Eagles

[shamandalie]

Hello there! Thanks for dropping by my sketchie. Your style has a very manga influenced look, but your proportions are good!

Keep it going with the studies! :)

[Chiko]

Hey man, do you ever do the flip trick if you're using photoshop or painter? Just flip the canvas every one in awhile and take a look at what you see. Make sure thing line up and you can see alot more of your mistakes this way.

The Joan of arc looks pretty cool but could use a bit of straightening since she seems to be tilted to the left/

Seriously you're doing great keep it up!

[Twelve]

Good work and good study for someone of your age. You keep this up and you will rock when you hit your 20s. Keep the figure stuff alive. Nice little sketchbook. I enjoyed it.

[Krato]

wtf you have a cintiq! -.-



um, anyway with the group name, im not sure about hungry hippos. Hippos arent really patriotic or majestic creatures.. Eagles kinda are that's why i said Balding Eagles in the place of Bald Eagles.




I wish i had a cintiq ;(

[Krato]

falcon or phoenix, feel free to choose something with either of those. try to keep it somewhat mature though ;)

[a la bapsi]

DUUUDE
keep your stuff up, you're drawing lots!

[faedri]

Keep it up and you'll be an incredible artist one of these days :) Heck, you're a pretty awesome artist now. I wish I drew like you when I was 16!

Rossipoo, you're showing progress. I love the face of the lady in the sexy black dress with the velvet gloves that come almost up to her shoulders. See, you didn't even have to render all that detail and I pretty much have an image of what she's wearing.

nice little update therrr

[Zorcron]

hello there ! i love the loosness of some of the figures you have got


the use of color is improving i would do some (from life ) studys to give your self a little extra to go from . continue the work ! you are improving

[rossipoo]

[Entertainment Design Art Center wiped my posts :(

[DanielC]

Cool stuff man. You got a good idea of values, but try to use it more. Define clearly where the light source comes from, what shadows it'll cast, etc. And keep in mind to stay simple !

[Mat Kaminski]

Man, I would get lost in all those limbs myself... so it's amazing that you can do them so fluidly. :D

I'd watch proportions on your newest, but other than that, your life studies are very nice! :)

[Seithe]

Your life studies look great. You've already improved loads since your first post. It looks like you got started where many people do (anime) and decided to start taking it seriously. You're on the right track. I'm a big fan of those multi-pose studies. I've been meaning to try some of those myself.

When you're doing from-life paintings, try your hardest to not exclude the face. I know it feels tedious to paint the facial features after having done the rest of the body, but if you neglect doing so, it will only become a weakness. It's a pretty common thing that people do, so, I'm just giving you fair warning :)

And, I tell several people this, push your values further. Stark contrast is your friend, and you cannot read form when it isn't there proving highlight against shadow. Once you learn how to do this, you'll be more efficient with your strokes. Also, don't get caught up in using smaller brushes too soon. Make sure you've properly blocked in/roughed out your general form with a harder brush before going in and making smaller details.

That's all I've got to say right now. You're doing great and have gotten a much earlier start than most. It looks like you've gotten a really good feel for dynamic poses from imagination. Keep the good stuff coming.

[rossipoo]

[coldrum]

wow amazing skills for 16. love those gesture sketches.. 2-14.jpg especially.. beautiful lines keep it up man :)

[Mat Kaminski]

LoL, I know the feeling of feeling helpless for sure.

Okay, things you can try for lighting:

1) Firstly, try doing some studies of simple things and realize how shadow and light play off of the planes that make up the object. For example, try placing an egg on your desk (it doesn't matter what you use to hold it up). Now, take a look at how the natural light hits it. When you look closely, you will notice that light hits it from angles and then creates almost solid lines of shadow in places. These are called core shadows. They are useful in getting lighting down. Once you start realizing that many things have core shadows, it makes learning lighting a little easier.

www.characterdesigns.com (nudity, I don't know if you can look at this or not) has a great photoset all about core shadow. Take a look at that and try doing a couple of studies.

2) I'd suggest to stay away from color for a bit yet. Learn to block in your colors in grayscale. It doesn't matter the medium (digital, pencisl, charcoal, chalk, dirt, whatever), just as long as you enter into the realization that without being able to read your forms in black and white, you will never be able to show the dramaticism of lighting.

and finally, 3) Don't be hard on yourself, these things take time. There's no use in rushing. Just use your time wisely. If you feel as though you haven't drawn enough for that day, then draw more, but don't force it. Sometimes you need to take a step back and just absorb what you've learned. I've come to realize that when you take that break, chances are that you'll come back better than previously.

Just a little bit of advice, I hope it helps...

Honestly, I've been in your boat before. The pressure of wanting to become good before school starts and things. It sucks, but ultimately, the main thing you have to keep your eyes on is your goals. Even if you feel as though you aren't doing good, nine-times-out-of-ten, you're doing much better than you give yourself credit for.
I'd suggest to just keep on the path you're headed. I think in time everything will fall into place.

Anyway, enough early morning rambling LOL!

Keep drawing, and have fun.

[Reject-D]

hehe nice algen sketches... keep it up seeing progress..

a tip into getting into the art center...

start with sillouettes then work up to a character
then do a finished character
knowing photoshop is a necessity nowadays
do around 3-4 characters

same process for vehicles..
and environments

show that you can create a conceptual world pretty much..
around 30-40 pages is good..

[rossipoo]

yeah thanks dude, i bought the books and ive seen accepted portfolios (justin, lindsey etc.) so i have a general idea of what they want, right now im just practicing my skills until november is when ill start working on my portfolio,, thanks for the info tho, i've got my world all planned out! :D

[Reject-D]

cool.. look forward to seeing you next year! :)

[rossipoo]

hahaa, im scared 6 months of practice won't be enough to get started on my portfolio.. i guess this summer = fatness and no sleep O_O?! Friendless summmmer

Kick my ass and motivate me please! Psh you already do.

[a la bapsi]

nice hatch lines.
i'll see you next fall. ;D

[Dile_]

sick progression man :) I hope i can pick the momentum up and improve as much as you do..! incredible =)

just keep it up.. slow down a bit per piece... will benefit you so much in the long run. Do advanced studies once in a while.. it will help alot :)

[rossipoo]

nice batch of updates, i like the spoon it turned out nicely. :)

[Huey Yeng]

You sure are highly spirited at such young age. :)

Nice sketchbook and keep them coming. One thing I can suggest is try to do more thorough studies of a particular material like the spoon in your last post. It will going to benefit you a lot when rendering imaginary stuff.

[Nibras]

You bitch, stop it with this kickass stuff.
Your just asking to get killed by me arn't you?!
Really awesome digis
Those thumbs are cool, nice design and use of silhouette.
Keep at it

Wow! Your imrovement is creepy..... esp that still life spoon. Just keep doing what you're doing, you will be super awesome in no time :D

[Dile_]

heyo i added you too ;] great sketches man.. thanks for posting too

[Jovian M]

Vehicles in the second last image look nice. Finish at least one of them. You know you want to. Marker portraits look pretty solid, too, for the most part. Studies look nice, too, but the legs maybe look a little long? I suppose they could just be long-legged fellas and uhh, felitas? I don't know the female version of fellas. Hurm. Regardless, I'm getting sick of how awesome you're getting. You update like, every day. And every day, you improve to a degree that makes me feel like someone's hammering my manbits. In a bad way.

Great stuff, bro.

[Parcel-Sisters]

wow, you're amazingly talented and dedicated for your age! I definitely want to follow your progress - you show so much potential! :D

Hey man, nice sketch book.

im pretty new to the site but everything i see just amazes me. your anatomy skillz are legendary, i like your work. im getting a tablet soon (intuos 4 i hope) so im lookin around at people work to see how it is. your probly just a few months older then me but your pro already.

im inspired :D so thanks for that.....

[Huey Yeng]

Hehe nice to see sketches with maths notes on it. :D

[Nibras]

Dude...... Man whats wrong with you!
Such awesome improvement as usual, you need to give me tips on that stuff.
Also diggin the design and silhouette, wondering where you got all the design ideas and process you same to follow from.
Thanks for the inspiration :D
Keep at it!

[clockworksnail]

HA! i love your mathwork doodles, do you do them in class or after? my english books filled with mini sketches and my maths isnt that far behind. :)

[Mat Kaminski]

That's like one requisite to tell you really want to do art.

Screw that math, drawing for the win :P

[monotony]

hey your stuff is looking a LOT better than when you started out just a few months back!
you got some really cool stuff in here, especially the pencilrenderings are cool. (I like the big sitting lady a few posts back :) )
but I agree with yourself: go finish something! :)
hehe, keep sharing!

[IndigoSummers]

Wow. Looking through the pages of your sketchbook has really inspired me. Much respect.

Love your figure drawings. Your line quality is beautiful. It's amazing to see how much you've improved your hands and feet. Great work.

[Jovian M]

The paintover of the full body looks fucking sick, dude.

And you're a WONDERFUL dancer, Ross. haha

[kikindaface]

Hey buddy ! Impressive improvment since the beginning of the sketchbook ! Keep working on it dude ! Take care

[Drin]

Sweet, you're really doing well. I think your environments need more work than your characters at this point. I would work on value and colour theory because they seem to be a little muddy without a lot of 'pop'.

Your figures and characters though, wow!

[rossipoo]

Entertainment Design Art Center wiped my posts :(

[Huey Yeng]

Since its summer break for you, POST MOAR. :)

[Nele Klumpe]

nice stuff in here! I especcially like your pencils. Maybe you could work on seperating your light and shadow areas a bit more? anyways. keep it up :D

[a la bapsi]

your works in progress show a lot of potential. the only real weak spot i see is the proportion and forms in your figures.
ANATOMY! FOCUS ON ANATOMY!

[jackpot_anjr90]

Impressive sketchbook! I agree that you should definitely work on anatomy and proportions. I have to say I'm a fan of your multi-poses though :P I'd also suggest painting digitally from reference. Do some studies to practice values so you can improve that rendering. Keep it up :D

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Some pretty cool stuff you got started of with here:) I think you should focus a bit more on studies, not so much on making concepts and stuff. Try and think about edge control as well, and since summer is starting Schoolism.com is a great way to spend the vacating months;)

[d-woo]

My God, your work is amazing, I wish I was as good as you are. Try to polish your work a little more and keep practicing on your enviroments.

Hey nice update. Why is the last pic is soooooo small???

[d-woo]

Daaaayyyyaaammmm, you improved so much this summer. Your coloring skillz has gotten so much better, and your anatomy got better too. Grr, my envious emotions are growing stronger...

Haha, yeah, I have easy classes too this year, no math for me this year (w00t) but I am concerned about taking art history. I've heard scary stories from that class.

[Abrodos]

You're showing really good works in your last post. I especially like the bird faces sketch, and the last one, because of the composition and colour palette. It would be nice to see a bigger version of it.
You've got a quite good anatomy. Right now, you should work on your poses; they look a bit unnatural and stiff. Do some researches on the rythm and movement lines of poses: Prometheus' PSG tutorial talks about it.
And keep up the work! it looks really good.
Cheers!

[Roboko]

Your stuff is soooo cool @_@ You're going to be amazing in a few years. I'm 16 too ^__^

[Dile_]

you gave up msn ? :( :(

[rossipoo]

@Dile: NO BABY
@Roboko: thanks! You better be awesome with me!
@Abrodos: thanks, yes i've been doing more poses!
@D-woo: Thanks! Keep it up as well!
@Huey..: Thanks! It's small because... its ugly blown up duh :)

This is technically a double post because of the "Its finally finished section" but...

Hey there! My name is Ross Tran and I was really active on this site in 2009 when I started really learning and posting, but I haven't been active on this blog because of school, I finally got around to update for you guys, the community, one of factors that helped start my everything. Here are some works done my first and second year at Art Center! Thanks for everything
Enjoy!

hey man! ive seen your work all over c g h u b! great work man!! i really love the dynamism, and colors you use in your sketches! also the characters are amazing! they have a very cool animated feel to them! keep posting!

[Andrew Sonea]

Holy hell! Freaking amazing landscapes (and everything else). Really phenomenal work here, kinda scary to imagine what you'll be doing by the time you graduate.

My only suggestion is to watch out a bit on the life drawings--for the most part the forms are reading pretty well, but a few areas are getting a bit confusing, they also have some pretty wacky proportions on a couple of them.

You gotta post here more often!

[xbert]

wow, this is great stuff

[MatejaPetkovic]

wicked shit!
Respect

[PieMonster]

[bluelinesmoke]

[FireSong]

Wow, these are insane. Awesome work!

[Icecold]

So i guess all the good stuff i hear about art center must be true as everytime i see some current or former student's work its like...wow...

I wish we had some colleges like this here..

[rossipoo]

@Icecold: haha!, you should join us!
@Firesong: Thank you so much!
@bluelinesmoke: You are too kind sir! Much appreciated for your feedback.

[rinnikirun]

Those life drawings are so..pure!~ What course are you in at Art Center ? I want to go there so bad after highschool but money is an issue >.<

[rossipoo]

@Ven-
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am currently studying Entertainment Design at Art Center! Think about it this way, School would be the best investment of your life and you only have one life! So make the best of it and pay back your loans after you get out and kick ass!
