Micah Champion's Sketchbook

[micahchampion]

My first sketch post. Its a collage of graphite sketches to get things started off right.

Not quite up to Zhang Lu's caliber. I quit at about two and a half hours, having erased or painted over to the point of whining.

I enjoyed Zhang Lu's Caucasian Females video immensely. Hopefully, I can glean some of Mr. Lu's technique through repeat viewings and practice of course. Mr. Manley's narration was practical and informative.

Nice sketchbook so far; I'm particularly impressed with your use of values. Keep it going!

Welcome! That's a great start. I especially like the man in the top hat and the horse head. Keep posting. :)

Another Zhang Lu inspired study. This took me three to three and a half hours when you add it all up. I dare say, I think I'm improving.

Some studies for a old west illustration.

I watched Disney's Enchanted the other night (Yes. I am a father of small children.) laughing and snorting from beginning to end. Inspired, I sketched out this ogre loosely based on the ogre from the film.

You are really good at determining values, i like everything you've posted so far! post #6 looks really good, especially the hair...maybe some of the lines of the face could be smoother (on the right side of her face/neck) but that's really minor. post more, i'd love to see what else you do (:

I posted this awhile ago on my deviant art and blog, but thought I'd re-post. I'd forgotten my password to conceptart.org, and then forgot about forgetting and just didn't remember...well, anyway. Re-post.

Good to be back

Kinda nice stuff this far, the latest Lu study is much better indeed than the previous. I dig the ogre too. Nothing else to say at the moment.

My wife is a good sport. She ends up my sketches a lot.
