Gnarl Sketch'n

[gnarl]

Crits on what I am lacking and what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated. :yayca:

30 second gestures.

[gnarl]

I want to create a cool character or something.. (I have fun with exaggerating faces, but that's about it.)

[gnarl]

I spent some good time on these studies. Learned/realize A LOT about contstruction of the arm, I'm happy. :)

[gnarl]

Drew these really fucking big for some reason, very unusual for me - and difficult to fit on the scanner. (I know the heads are too big lol.)

[Sublimus]

Nice studies.

No crits yet, just saying hi! :P

[ceriously]

I really like the slightly cartoony portraits, especially the one you have as your avatar. They've got a lot of personality. I'm (maybe mistakenly) guessing that they're a little small in actual size, though; maybe it would be cool to see one developed further? Anyway, aside from that, neat anatomy studies. I should get started on them myself, I guess.

Looking forward to seeing more anyhow.

Hey gnarl, love the studies, and those 30 sec poses are great, I already have difficulties with 1min poses :D.
Post more!

i always take forever to draw my stuff, and it shows because your drawings are a lot more fluent and i think your anatomy studies are brilliant, can only say to keep up the work :P

Perhaps I don't know enough to be helpful, but I think you are doing all the right things. Is your focus figure at the moment? You could try dabbling in the the other P's and C's as well.

I like your strokes a lot, they are full of energy. Your style seems ideal to learn from Bridgeman, you have the same energetic approach, it makes your studies look fantastic. I hope you are getting the knowledge you need from them. I often find I copy but I'm not understanding it.

You said you want to create a cool character, but in what context? Unless there's a story or an idea behind it, an ideal or a personality trait you want to represent, is hard to create a character.

[gnarl]

ceriously - yep they're pretty small, like 1.5in x1.5in.. I'd like to take 'em further, it's figuring out the rendering style to match lines that's tough.

Leonor - Figures are the main focus at the moment. What's P's and C's by the way?


Lame update of trash and doodles.. I'll kick it up, I promise lol.:)

[NanoBlack]

Wow, keep working on your anatomy! What you're doing with the arms is good, showing them in block form and then working up. This is seriously something I should be doing too.

Keep working on the torso, try to exaggerate a bit on the proportions- nice and toned, though not overly butch. I'd like to see a complete figure too.

[Grafguy]

watch out for those eyes, they're easily drawn to big :)

[gnarl]

i'm going to be away from computers, for a very long time, so this is that last thing i'm posting for a while. (i know like im special) :)

just a cartoon i drew that i kind of liked. (sorry for the bs update..)

[Lav]

cool sketch :)
Sorry to hear you go, hopefully we'll be seeing more from you later :)
