doubleNine YO! July 21th

[doubleNine]

ahoy there!
Still fresh and new here, I'd like to use this sketchbook to keep track of my progress.
Starting with some quick enviro thumbnails I did this morning, not much for the mo', just trying to get used at painting and setting up a routine to boost my dedication to my "art-ing".

See ya :donk:

[patrickdeza]

Interesting thumbnailsketches!
Post more please :-)

[Rynnay]

Those are some interesting starts. Just enough gesture to know what's going on. It'd be cool to see them refined more if the whimsy strikes you :)

[doubleNine]

Thx guys!
Here's some new stuff!

[Pixie Trick]

Love the toilet paper. The texture on the tiles is really neat. I third the interesting start statement.

[doubleNine]

So done some Hogarth hand studies, and I didn't enjoy it at all :P
His hands are way too complicated and detailed for the level I'm at actually.
Anyone can give advices on how I could get some simplified hands? I'd like to focus on the gestures and get a basic feel of it before getting into details.
thx
:donk:

[RichieLee]

looks great dude. Are these done on a graphics tablet? Just bought a wacom myself and it will be the first time I've ever used a tablet. For drawing hands, check out Sarah Simblet's Anatomy or her Drawing book. I have both, and they have a wealth of drawing exercises to do there mate.

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO! MY CONSISTENCY SUCKS!!!

Yet here are some heads from this morning!

Cheers

[doubleNine]

some studies, first time I try doing gestures, not as easy as I thought it would be....
Peace out!

:donk:

[doubleNine]

[doubleNine]

a quick something i wipped up after seeing Mike bierek's form vid, I recomend it to anyone!

[Sublimus]

Woa-ho! nice start here, for sure!

I know you were playing with the proportions of that latest girl, but I don't think they are quite jiving yet.

Otherwise, hot shit! Five from me!

[doubleNine]

@Sublimus: Thx! yeah I know it's far from being perfect or finished, was a lot of fun to do tho'!


Here are some posemaniacs 60sec gestures and boobies!

[doubleNine]

Slowly but surely switching to colors!

[pauscorpi]

very beautiful style; i think the last portrait is really well executed

just one thing i noticed in your earlier sketches - sometimes it seems to me there is not enough light for the brightest spot of an image

i think it's good you 're diving into gestures but they are the easiest to get when you know what's going on beneath them if this makes sense :P

best of luck, keep posting plz

[Emil_J.]

You've got some good and solid work here if you keep updating like that, there will be some good progress in store for you.
I really like the skintones in the latest piece.

[donm]

awesome work man, inspiring, keep it up!

[doubleNine]

omg someone actually watch this thread!!

@pauscorpi: thx! and yeah I have massive problems with values/contrast, but I'm working on it! As for the gestures, well posemaniacs don't have ground planes on their models so it's kind of hard to figure it out. But I'll pay attention to that!

@Fumble: I'll do my best to keep this thing updated thanks!

@jagmed: Thanks a lot!


As always guys/gals feel free to crit or drop some advices!
thanks everyone :donk:

[Raoul Duke]
