(but gladly that terrorist creature dead for good)

Image029
well basically the idea was come from games called "MechWarrior: Mercenaries" and one of mech type is cougar ( I barely remember how the mech look when I draw this but when I play it again it has slightly different on the cockpit)

i don't know whether "let's me see her once more" or may be "one last time"
but wth I 'm not really care

[wakoes]

the first drawing is my fast drawing and sketches that I done recently done it on painter by using PC tablet(well my friend pc tablet:teeth:)

and 2nd is another fast drawing done on painter using g-pen
on the 3th its a detail practice that U usually done before I start drawing

[wakoes]

today drawing :yayca:

[The man with no name]

Hey, great start to you Sketchbook, love that black mech, very cool, some nice faces too, keep on posting :)

[miycko]

hey man, i can't believe i only saw your sketchbook today :x i'm glad you started one :D i also like the mech a lot & your latest painting is looking really good, i think she needs some wider hips & maybe a little more brown in the skin tone on the upper body like the legs are

[wakoes]

@The Man with No Name: thank you for your support:tihi:

@Miycko: thank you for your suggestion, I really appreciate it:D
hehe its just a sketch though I don't know if I gonna finish it work with a lot of detail it really need a lot of patient which is that my biggest problem :P

anyway here some of fast drawing that I done recently:teeth:
15 min Pencil drawing on painter using g-pen

Image090

[mariusz]

I see much work! Keep it up!

[wakoes]

@mariusz:thank you for stopping by :D

Skin tone...??

Image091

[miycko]

the one in the middle is very nice :) try not to use white for highlights, instead use a lighter colour of the mid tone, it's something i struggle with as well

[wakoes]

@miycko: thanks, and actually it wasn't white is suppose to be light brown, and actually it easy to do the skin tone, just mixing play between dark and light colorand yet it also it a bit tricky because it we do wrong sometime the skin will look plain and dull, the hard part is to make the skin more realistic, some say just apply the skin texture from the some image put it as a layer then change it the layer property to overlay...
but I don't know, I done it sometime, and i'm still unsatisfied with the result although it did look realistic, but I just feel like cheating.
do you remember one of Randis drawing on the contest that shown the detail that include the skin texture, man that's so awesome... I wish I do like he did:dad:

anyway here another of my fast drawing that I done it last nigh before I went to sleep.. and yep I still focus on skin ... skin .. aaaaaa

Image092

[wakoes]

Just recall some trick that I use to do on my drawing.. and... hmmm.... I thing that about it that I could say :)

Image093-098

[wakoes]

basically I just redrawing from image057

Image100

[miycko]

soo many updates :D that's great, i think the skin on the latest image is a bit too saturated & i love the boobs on that chick in post #11 :teeth:

[SamC]

You kindof just seem to be painting any darks and mids for skin and then adding these little highlights everywhere? That's not really how skin works most of the time, you might want to do some studies from photos. Also make sure you're using accurate values when doing so :) Keep it up

[wakoes]

@Miycko: thanks you and glad you like it, and yeah I aware of that, it because I was playing with the effect feature on painter and I forget to redo it when I going to save it i realize after I post this image in here, and it was the contrast that I playing around and come out like this :dad:

@SamC: wow! thank you so much SamC thank you for the tips:D I'm totally forget about that and it kinda funny that its a same tip that my friend say about my drawing yesterday hmmm I think I gonna try and do like you said tonight :bashful:
any way....
another fast drawing done on CS3 with tablet
I done it yesterday, and I forget about it

Image106-he and his aphrodite

[miycko]

nice one, street kids are one thing that aren't too common in these sketchbooks, it's great that you paint a variety of things :D mmmm, i think her nose should face a little more downwards since she's looking straight at us instead of facing up

[wakoes]

@Miycko: thank you, actually those drawing, just some idea that pop up inside my head, that I draw just to collect it, thats why on that post it does look different then the other while try to remember about human proportion stuff and face drawing technique, and thank to SamC it really help me remembering some tips that I been told before
and about the nose yes I do know about that and I don't think that I will change it, I might redraw it on different file thought, maybe from different angle

here some thing inside my head today:P

[miycko]

i like those traditional dancing movement, it would be nice if you detailed them a little more :D keep them coming

[wakoes]

@Miycko: thanks I don't think that I remember much about the detail of it since when I watching that dance, I was focusing on the movement of the dancer:painting:... hmmm... it might good for my personal project:bounce:, thank for the suggestion:bashful:

anyway here something that I done today on Maya
the first mech idea come from that mech sketch earlier and the second one I made the blueprint long time ago back when I was in high school done it on ACAD and this one I do it on Maya and both I render it on Modo :teeth:

[miycko]

nice mechs man :D i like those BIG guns, they look really good

[wakoes]

@Miycko: Thanks! glad you like it :D

here some little updates from my previous drawing , speed painting and some sketches :^^;:

[wakoes]

4H drawing on Artrage using G-Pen 450 while playing game on FB :P

[GeoD]

good start mate. I can see you're testing all sorts of things which is good. but you should concentrate more on the basics IMO. and remember that more you practice, closer you are to your goal ;) good luck

[kingkostas]

You seem to have very good skills mate.The thing i see in almost all of your works(these on black background basically) is the white outlines here and there.
Maybe you could try letting your forms step out of the shadows instead of Pasted over a black surface.The last one is coming out from the shadows hehe :D
I saw a lot of interesting things in here.I think you will improve in no time if you keep up
See ya and thnx for stopping by my sketchbook :)

[wakoes]

@GeoD: thank you so so much thank you for your support from know I will practice more harder :yayca:

@kingkostas: Wow thank you ... thank you so so much :bow: thank you for so useful tips I will try to improve it now and is such an honor an cool artist like you want to drop by on my SB and... actually I've been lurking around on your and other artist SB since I join on CA and my jaw keep dropping :jawdrop: and so speechless since I could said anything other then wow!:O

once again thank you GeoD ...thank you kingkostas :D

[wakoes]

:yum:woke up and draw

first painting today :D
1H painting on CS3 using g-pen
oops I forget to eat anything

Image039

[wakoes]

some speed painting that i did today after been lurking around :P
done on CS3 using g-pen oh with no ref ..

cheers

[kingkostas]

You wake up and draw immediately without even eating anything!!!We do the same thing!!! :)
Thats the hardcore spirit lol :P
Btw damn i am laughing inside me cause you get some interesting values with some strange brushtrokes that make some parts totally awesome.The arm in post #27 is great.I am not sure about the very saturated shadow there.How strong is the light that makes the blood to lend some color to the shadowed skintone?

Keep it up mate

[wakoes]

@kingkostas: I don't know why I have that spirit yesterday, hmm maybe it was come from both you and SamC word that really encourage me to practice even more:D
and ... I'm not quite understand what you saying (hiks sorry for my poor english:nohope: ) and I'm not really knowing all that technical digital drawing stuff which I'm really eager to learn it so maybe I will try to explain it (although I know that I'm not very good in explain thing :P )from what I know.. basically what I do its using several layer, and for shadowed skin usually what i did it by using a same color with the skin but the layer property i change it to color burn
and i draw like how people draw using charcoal hmm like draw some line the smudge it with the finger basically what i do it same thing except in i do using pen and smudge tool on CS ...(hiks i hope it can explain well :dad: )
and for the light thing I'm not sure what you mean but that why I eager to learn more from you and other artist in here :yayca:

and today I woke up and the light was out I mean there's no electricity and it just turn back on couple minute ago...
and here some what i do to spend my time under the kerosene light :P
done it on A4 and A3 paper I reduce it to 1024X768
oh and the last one is an old sketch that I done couple year ago when I was working as a drafter on one of architecture and design company. and if i remember correctly this sketches it suppose to be a wall relief on the private swimming pool ( but it never made it, since I thing it away over the client budget :P)

[kingkostas]

You are doing great.
I dont have time to comment a lot of words so here what i think will help you if you study them a little
Just keep reading them till you understand them(dont copy them,without understanding them)

http://www.itchstudios.com/psg/art_tut.htm

edges
http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=51913


Moreover try to achieve(to make) the results that the color burn layer provides you,in normal layer.And try not to use smudge.The use of Alt+click(picker) is the best thing to work as much as you want in blendings and such.

Keep up the good work :)

[wakoes]

@kingkostas: Oh thank you kingkostas, thank you so much for share it that great tutorial with me,from now on that tutorial will be my handbook of drawing
OK first keep read this till I'm understand then I must try to achieve it without changing the layer properties in other word in normal layer.

thank you kingkostas its a great honor for me to have this awesome lesson from you:yayca:

[towy]

good work ! keep it up
thanks for drop on my sketchbook too

[kingkostas]

hhehe its nothing, dont misunderstand, i just gave you the links.These tutorials are not made by me :).
My part was about what you can do :D

i am glad i helped.
Keep up :)

[wakoes]

@towy: thank you for yoyur support :D
@kingkostas: I know that :P but the fact is, you the one who show me this great tutorial link right? :D so its an honor for me to get this great tutorial link from an artist that i consider a master like you :yayca:

[kingkostas]

awesome work again.Dont overuse of soft edged brushes.Use soft only where its needed.But ok again you are not doing it in all pieces but i am just a reminder :P
The last pieces are of improved skills.You are gonna level up in no time.
Thnx for your kind words
keep up

[B-Man]

i like the one with the gun. The green in the hand makes it really intresting. but like kostas said. Dont overuse of soft edged brushes. Try and use a sharp edged for most work I usaly end up only using charp edged. Cheers mate! And have fun!

[miycko]

very nice work man :D keep it up

[wakoes]

ho ho ho both of my fave artist are here:D

@kingkostas:
oh I see...:D I will gonna try it now :yayca:

@B-Man:
thank you for spare your time to teach me :bow:

oh it make for both of you, I know you two are busy on your battleground Sketchbook challenge, it such an honor to get this great lesson from you:bow::bow::bow:

@miycko: thank you for you support Miycko, I really appreciate it :D

[wakoes]

hmmm oh yeah hmm this my nibru :D I did it while I'm Playing game andthere new messages from Jason that said about this nibru thing :D
so ....

[R a n d i s]

nice one, good job

[wakoes]

wow Randis on my SB :D
I mean visited my SB cooool \(^0^)/

[arestocrat]

sweet style, really digg your girls and mechs ;)
Awesome brush work, too. The last painting is so different, much clearer lines, I really like it.
keep it up! :D

[liquidjack]

Nice sketch pad. Maya work looks great....it would be interesting to see how it looks when the polys get dropped for game format. That all comes in time.

I like the boldness of the lighting. However, I think someone mentioned this before, if you are trying to show lighting versus backlighting ...you gotta keep'em separated. It seems both sides of you characters are lit with all different for,s of light and there is no uniformity.

Keep at it

[Bombur]

The guy with the revolver looks really good. Is it finished or are you going to work on it more?

[towy]

really good imagination that good ! don't stop :]

[wakoes]

@arestocrat: Thank you glad you like it:D

@liquidjack: Thank you so much liquidjack:D and and thank youuu for your advice :bow: I will gonna try it now:yayca:

@Bombur: thank you glad you like it :D and... nope is not finish yet, I think it will took awhile to finished

@towy: Thank you so much towy
thank you for your support it mean a lot for me:bow:

[Junpei]

Oh, great mechs :O and also nice material study on #17, with the water drops :). for the girls /people/portraits, looking good!

If you're doing a speed paint of a person don't bother penciling in the lines, just block the shape out and refine the shape till it looks right. My meaning is, if your sketch isn't perfect, it's usually no good because you might get stuck trying to fill out the sketch when the shape doesn't fit. That's one common method anyway :0, anyway, keep it up!

[Mr Blackbird]

awesome stuff over here. your studies and paints have a lot of energy in them, especially digging the line studies of women and faces back on the first page.

the mech model is looking tight. is that all poly modeling?

[wakoes]

@Junpei:thank you so much for stopping by on my SB :D
oh and thank you for your useful advice I will keep it in mind :D
@Mr Blackbird: thanks you so much for stopping by on my SB :D
and yes on cougar, but on the other one i make each object separately:D

[Lav]

ooh i like how you use different approaches to your drawings and paintings and looks like you try to use different techniques, that's really cool. The legs/ass of the girl with the pink background seems still a bit odd to me tho, but still think it's a really cool SB, great job :)
And great nibru btw ;)

[wakoes]

@Lav: thank you for stopping by on my SB :D
oh about that bottom part I'm still not touch yet since i redraw it :P but anyway thank you for the advice :tihi:

[Ariel9]

Hey, thanks for visiting my sb - returning the favour :)
Cool wip you have there, but mind the volume of the eyes! In general, your mecha work is great and your girls hot, but sometimes they risk looking too soft and with too much light everywhere, I think you could benefit from trying to up contrast and use sharper edges maybe?
I really like the painterly feel in many of your pieces, and your use of color in skintones is awesome. Keep it up!

[wakoes]

@Ariel9: thank you and and thank you so much for your great advice :D

[miycko]

hey man, nice WIP :D waiting for more

[liquidjack]

Definitely stick with the sharper edges. I like the way the characters a coming through now.....good stuff.

[ColorExcursion]

Hiya,

You're coming along very nicely with skin tones! and painting in general

[wakoes]

@miycko:thank you mate :D

@liquidjack: thank you :tihi:

@ColorExcursion: thank you :)

just woke up and turn PC on and click on Mozilla and start warming up on Artrage while listening Mondo Grosso playing on Winamp :D

[Giorge]

Hello!

Can't wait to see the progress on the portrait from post #63

all the best,
Mariusz

[Bombur]

The artrage portrait is lookin' very nice. You're improving, keep working hard!

[wakoes]

oh hi Mariusz thank you for stopping by:D
how did you know that I'm going to redraw it :tihi:

[B-Man]

Hi! Productive, thats great!
Try and do painting without using the soft edge brush. :)
Keep ut the good work.

[andres333]

You need to do some anatomy studies plus start a path to understanding the truly use of structure.

[wakoes]

@B-Man: wow the word from the master himself :yayca:thank you:D
actually I already consider it when I start drawing that speed drawing it just it hard to achieve it on artrage so that why i try to redraw it on CS now, once again thank you B-Man :yayca:

@andres333: thank you to reminding me :D lol structure heh (^0^)' actually I already learn it back when i was in college back when I study 3D :D. if you see my real problem its light it easy if my master here didn't let me achieve it without changing layer ^^ so that the reason that my drawing like marionette with the color and yes it easy to done it on traditional also ^^


here da WIP oh no soft edges :tihi:

[Jaytea]

heeeeey I recognize you from dA. Did you find me there from here?
anyway, your face and bone studies and paints look pretty cool, keep it up! the one with the gun on the last page is my favorite.
how about you show us your pencil sketches? :b

[kingkostas]

post 71# solid .Very nice.Keep making use of hard edges.You are already becoming great with your skills.
Keep leveling mate and sorry for not visiting often :( my time is limited
(multiple brush strokes with low opacity and with a little randomness, produce a little muddy effect(in this last piece) But its speed so ok.
Just keep it in mind

see ya :)

[silvestri99]

Nice progress work. Seems that some of them still need some "sharpening up" but i like where they are going.

[wakoes]

@Lav: thanks you :tihi:

@Jaytea:heeeeey I recognize you from dA. Did you find me there from here?
hmmm I maybe or maybe not :tihi: kinda forget about that :P anyway thank you so much for stopping by on my SB :D
oh ok I think I just done couple sketches on pencil :D

@kingkostas: aww thank youuuu :bow: I'll do my best to keep practicing master :yayca:
I understand you mention it on your SB how busy you're and thank you so much for spare your time to visit my SB and give this great advise for me:yayca:

@silvestri99: thank you:D, and yes I know I need moar practice using this sharp and soft edge technique :dad: anyway thank you so much for stopping by on my SB

[kingkostas]

i love the pencil drawings and studies.Specially the first one.
Now the digital work is coming along nice.I think the pink feels a little strange.
Anyway keep it up till you make it damn good.You will learn a lot if you focus for some time in a piece.

See ya :)

[miycko]

good anatomy studies & i love that robot sketch :D

[wakoes]

That last painting is nice! You're improving a lot.

nice studies that cool : )

[kingkostas]

Yep nice studies and the figures are more clear+your heads are becoming great.For the rendering even if i dont want you to change your love for this smoothness, i think you must limit it and use it wise.
Btw lol i dont think i am a master, and moreover i think that till i die there will always be new things to learn :)
So keep up researching and share with me some of your thoughts in the understanding of nature.
I will try to do some paintover sometime when i find the time.
Keep working as you do!!!!

[Bombur]

I like the boob painting ;D

Your figures are starting to look real nice man. Keep up the hard work!

[wakoes]

@towy: thank youu :rocker:;

@kingkostas: Thank youuu kingkostas :yayca:, and For the rendering even if i don't want you to change your love for this smoothness, i think you must limit it and use it wise. I will keep that in mind :mod:, well still though you mastering something that I don't know :tihi: and also ... by following and watching your drawing I learn a lot from you :tihi: specially about digi painting stuff :yayca:, which is I'm only know little bit about sketching, some oil painting, some watercoloring, some photo manipulation and some 3D stuff :dad:(just little bit about everything:^^;:)

@Bombur: Thank youuuu :D


here some old stuff that I draw on paper with pen
http://cghub.com/images/download/21072/

and this some drawing that I made back on the year '00
I just found my old scrapbook :tihi:
shoot with my cellphone then arrange it on CS3 :tihi:
http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs51/f/2009/314/0/4/Old_scrapbooks_by_Wakoe.swf

hmmm... maybe I'll draw something today >< there a lot of thing inside my head but I don't know to put it >:|

[wakoes]

some speedies today

[miycko]

so much good stuff :D boy you've been busy, i'm jelouse :P

[Novbert]

Your pencil stuff is coming along nicely - but the digital ones are problematic. One of the main problem is that you use very different sized brushes on the same pic, which makes the whole pic look incoherent. Try to block in the big masses first with a large brush and then gradually make the brush size smaller. You should only switch to a smaller brush if you can't add more details to the pic with the larger ones. I also can see some coloring issues here, but thats another thing you shouldn't focus on till you get confident with grayscale rendering, shading and all that kinda stuff.

Edit: Whoops, I missed the last page. Some really cool anatomy studies here. Keep 'em coming man!

[Ivan Turcin]

I really love when I see people progress with their work, way to go.
Would suggest you to try and do some 2min life drawing sketches of people around you (walking, jogging, dancing, etc.) with as few lines as possible. Could be good thing to do, just to focus on rhythm.

[wakoes]

@miycko: Thank youuuuuu :tihi:

@Novbert: thank you:D, and yes, I still have a big I mean BeIIIIG! one with digi painting :( and thanks for the advise :yayca: (I think I should write it down ;P since I easily forget about a thing, as my friend recall short-term memory syndrome :tihi: )

@Ivan Turcin: thank you for your support :yayca: and ... actually most of my previous sketches,I done it like you said except yes to much line on it ;P and sometime I done it on the move meaning some of the I draw it on the bus, train, and also sometimes I done it when I watch over my friend cyber cafe which he let me use his scanner ;P


anyway here some 1 hour speedies on artrage and colorin' process with CS3
oh and without blending or smearing :tihi:

Cheers, :steph:

[arestocrat]

oh man, your old sketchbook looks cool and the pen drawing is mindblowing :D
For digital work: Watch your colors dude ;D Maybe research some very basics in color theory, I also recommend this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPz8Xyt3z-w best 10 minutes I ever spend in my whole life ! :D

[wakoes]

woooow! :jawdrop: that cool and full of information its wicked tutorial
best 10 minutes I ever spend in my whole life !
agreed :D
thank you for sharing this awesome tutorial :D

[kingkostas]

It seems blurry.dont smooth everything.I remember my self i used to make soft "outlines" in everyform and in the end everything was blurry.Keep up training :).You really work hard

[Lav]

wicked improvements, i'm jealous! :P
on the last paint tho, it's a bit funny because in a way you can look at it reversed and look at the arms being legs and etc, maybe it's just me but i think it looks really cool :p tho the final paint does seem a bit too blurry to me as well.
But great job! :)

[miycko]

nice one dude :D keep working on that stuff man, you keep improving :D

[wakoes]

@kingkostas: thanks you:yayca:;
I still try to learn and understand that hard and soft line :dad:
I admitted it it hard one:$
if I made all with hard line it look like my drawing out of the page but if create it with to much soft edge it become so blur :(


@Lav: thank you:tihi: and yes its suppose to be leg actually ;P it from my previous sketches when I look it again I though it maybe that I can play it little bit :tihi: so I decided to redraw it on artrage and done some coloring stage on CS3 and yes I still try to learn about that hard and soft edge that kingkostas gave me :$

@miycko:thank you mates :D


here some speedies that I done couple hours ago
and edit it with some experimental technique ;P

http://www.deviantart.com/download/142682936/image145_self_portrait_by_Wakoe.jpg

and here the first or the original painting that I done with using custom brushes that I have, I apply it some effect without using any filter that I know, it simply duplicate the picture and change the layer property to overlay, and I kinda surprise with the result

[wakoes]

Some old stuff that I found on my old scrapbook ><
finally I be able scan it well not all of them tho :dad:

some speedies today

[arestocrat]

nice poses, but bad quality ;P
The digital painting looks good too. Just try to not loose everything up. If I look at it now, it seems to be very undefined. That's good at some parts, but not at all parts. Render out the focus point with sharp edges and clear contrast. But I can also see some improvement you gained from the video I posted earlier, nice job! Also, sweet brushes, but try not to overdo it with texture! Too much texture may distract from the image! Just think of it like money! Spend it wisely.
Keep it up, man!

[Novbert]

your colors are still kinda crazy, but this (http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=822436&stc=1&d=1257516887) is a good example of how to turn an eye-hurting color schem (http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/310/3/3/image145_self_portrait_by_Wakoe.jpg)e into a tolerabel one.
I second Arestocrat on the tighten up thing - you should work more on solid forms - especially on contours. Solid contours make even loosely detailed renderings more appealing. And one more thing: You use too much black in your digis. I'd suggest that you should experiment with not so intense contrast or pictures with only fully saturated colors (with - lets say - only colors of the 50< value range in HSV color system). Hope that helps.

[kingkostas]

your old sketches are really great mate.I see great characters there.
Keep researching :)

[Ivan Turcin]

I see you have been busy drawing :) dont think you suck man, as you say. those are nice gesture drawings, just keep it up. you are progressing

[kingkostas]

Hi mate.Ok i prefered the more clear sketches you have done in the previous posts.
The abstract thing is interesting to me only if it is done for a research or something :P.
And i like the last one very much.It still have this blurry feeling cause of the big sized brush work.The head is very nice.In overall its good of course you must keep up the good work and making them better and better :)
See ya

[Novbert]

About the pencils: Try to be less loose and render things with less random lines and scriblings. Also: try to be more specific when rendering shadows. You try to draw very smooth gradients and draw some shade everywhere but you end up with sketches that have so many shades on them that they look flat - almost like they weren't shaded at all. There's a really good tutorial on figure drawing here (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=14035). I'd suggest that you should follow the steps of it on the same pic or another strong lit one. the whole stuff is very useful but step3 and step4 shows everything that you need to know about clean lines and hard shading.
About the astronaut guy. Same issue here that I've already mentioned. Those strong whites and strong blacks on the same piece. Try to avoid this. The first step in the animgif looks okay. I'd like to see those steps in separate pictures to give a more detailed crit on your method.
(The other thing that's bugging me is the lack of real coloring. The whole pic looks kinda pale - like you couldn't decide whether you should color it or not.)
Keep on practicing!

[miycko]

great updates dude :D i like the speedies & thanks for sharing the process :teeth:

[towy]

you try new things with textures that cool don't stop : > !

Hi:overhere:

@kingkostas::tihi: those my last sketch actually I was try to do that Ivan Turcin suggesting
..suggest you to try and do some 2min life drawing sketches of people around you.... and those pose i done it while i watching TV :tihi: I'll try to draw more less line next time:dad:
and that abstract thingy actually yes and also I try show my feeling trough painting the feeling that I feel while listening Yiruma piano play :tihi:
and thaank youuuuu kingkostas I will do better next time :yayca:

@Novbert::tihi: like I said to kingkostas it 2min sketching stuff and ... oh and thanks you for the link :D hehehe those rendering tutorial actually I already know about that I just rarely use it since I was focusing on digi painting right know but thanks anyway, and white???:x I didn't use any white color there for cool color I use light blue and for warm color I use that kinda yellowish color, and thats way I attach that coloring process on that post basically I only use two color on that blue and yellow :tihi:, anyway thank youuu so so much for the crit :D I'll do ma best next time:yayca:

awesome updates! love the last robot :) the leg on the ballet dancer is too short tho

[wakoes]

@lav: yes the leg look odd right:tihi: actually it because that ballet shoes it to big :P thanks you for stopping by Lav:D

[arestocrat]

sweet stuff, the robot looks nice ;)

And I always appreciate other "Painter" artists work. What brushes are your favorite, if I may ask, es. on the robot.. Looks like oils for me, but just want to be sure. You can never learn enough about painter.

[Novbert]

@Novbert::tihi: like I said to kingkostas it 2min sketching stuff and ... oh and thanks you for the link :D hehehe those rendering tutorial actually I already know about that I just rarely use it since I was focusing on digi painting right know but thanks anyway, and white???:x I didn't use any white color there for cool color I use light blue and for warm color I use that kinda yellowish color, and thats way I attach that coloring process on that post basically I only use two color on that blue and yellow :tihi:, anyway thank youuu so so much for the crit :D I'll do ma best next time:yayca:


Well, I can see some misconceptions here.
#1: You say that you rarely use that tutorial on clear rendering and shadow blocking, cause you focus on digi painting. As far as I know clear contours and shading basics aren't only for traditional draftsmen. On the other hand you can create pencil-like brushes in Photoshop (at least I created one for myself, it's pretty easy: take a flat, round brush, set size variation to pressure, minimum diamater to 0%, set opacity to pen pressure, set flow to pen pressure; set size to 3 pts and here ya go, your digital pencil), so you can create pencil drawings digitally, SO you can use everything written in that tutorial to create a basic lineart. Later on you can use a flat brush to define shaded areas. After that you can overlay color and do all the crazy stuff you'd like to. Long story short: That tutorial is for you and for every one of us. Take it, try it, use it. ;)

#2: You say you only used two colors, blue and yellow. I checked the pic and the luminosity of the background is 2 or three, so practically it's black. The luminosity of the hand is almost 200 so - okay, it's not totall white, but next to the chest area which has a luminosity of 10 it looks white because of the high contrast. My point was that you should avoid this high contrast or at least you should decide whether your pic will be a high key one or a low key one (http://www.diyphotography.net/lighting-high-key-and-low-key). You shouldn't cover large areas with darks and large areas with brights on the same pic.

About your recent stuff:
This (http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=830525&stc=1&d=1258333140) looks kinda nice. There are some issues with the face, but I like the subtle shades and highlights. This one (http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=830533&stc=1&d=1258333340)looks also okay, mainly for the same reason. They both use simple color schemes with one primary color and not too much contrast. You've (unintentionally?) avoided the aformentioned high contrast issue. Not like in this case (http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=830528&stc=1&d=1258333240). You used large portions of black and white on the same pic and it doesn't look right. A useful rule of thumb: You should avoid using black for shading human skin unless the surounding environment is dark with no primary and secondary light sources (in this pic the floor is a large bright secondary light source which you should consider)

Keep on sketchin'! :yayca:

[kingkostas]

Damn thats a lot of work.
The rendering looks more solid in the painting with the girl, i really like it.Btw i see that even in your sketches you love doing some smudging(maybe with your finger or something), i prefer the ones that you shade with hatching(parallel lines)
I am so happy you do a lot of work.Figure and everything.You are gonna improve very fast if you keep up like that.Sorry i didnt know they were fast :)
Anyway keep up the good hard work
see ya

[miycko]

sweet stuff dude :D keep it up :yayca:

[wakoes]

@arestocrat: thank you :tihi:
yes most of my drawing I done on Painter and I use tinting, pencil and acrylic brushes on that drawing

I understand what you mean:D
what I do on most of my pencil sketches, is just try to capture the pose and movement around me, that why those sketches look crappy and like wild line all over drawing:rocker:. and also thank you for the tips for that brush making:D , I have one of my own too.

#2 Ok its three then :tihi: and thank you for the advice and the link I will keep it in mind, I will remind me my self to avoid it nest time:yayca:

@Bombur: thank you mate :tihi:

ok! last time, 5 min on OC (open canvas) :tihi:

cheers,

[kingkostas]

Great potential really.You are improving a lot.
haha i am so glad you research things like you did with the sphere etc. and i wanna thank you.Lovely things in these updates.The rendering is getting less messy.
Btw in the ballerin.Dont use a lot of black in the shadows.It makes it dull
In the shadow part take a darker value of the same hue+(take it toward left, for colder shadows=if you have warm light source/ & and the opposite for cold light source) and use this color for shadow

Keep going

[wakoes]

@kingkostas: oh I see:teeth:
thank youu so so so much to explain it to me :D I'll try it know


all sudden my PC went to restart :x
maybe because I open to much program:bashful:
so here I doing while my PC restarting
well I just using my cellphone to capture it:bashful:, maybe i will scan it when my friend cyber cafe its open

[wakoes]

well I'm on the middle drawing my robot thing and all sudden I think about something else, so I start a new sheet and start drawing:bashful:
if I not mistaken this character was come from one of that online comic on this lounges forum started by Randis :teeth:( I forgot about her name what so ever :P )

[Rotor]

I really like the old skool sci-fi feel the suit and button piece has, very nice. It was also interesting to see the process animation. You seem to be sketching mad too, I like the cross hatching you got going on. I can't give you much advice, seeing as you are improving all the time. :)
Maybe work on making the characters pop out more by giving them really sharp and strong edges, for example on the robot, it kinda has a soft edge so it seems plushy.
Keep it up.

[liquidjack]

Very good. I see since the last time you have eased up on multicolors from multi directions and used better lighting techniques.

Be careful with some sketch work,make sure you adjust the levels so it is dark enough an old man like myself can see it.

Keep cracking

[wakoes]

@Rotor:Thank you so much for stopping by and give me this excellent advise I'll keep it in mind :yayca:

Nice studies mate.You used a lot of effects in the pioneer and that made it looks strange in the end.I think the earlier version was better :)
keep going

[towy]

really nice update you are trying many thing and that interesting !

[miycko]

where are you dude?!

[arestocrat]

That artrage portrait looks awesome! I guess I'll do some artrage drawings soon, thanks to you. Thanks for the motivation ^^

[wakoes]

@miycko : thanks mate :tihi:

@kingkostas: I think I agreed with you I put to much effect on it:dad:
anyway thank you kingkostas I'll try do better next time :yayca:

@towy : thank you towy :D


@arestocrat: yes indeed artrage did look awesome for making traditional art effect, although sometime my pen less responsive, maybe it work better if you using wacom( I'm not quite sure though, since I never tried it before), I heard that the newest one it had a new tool that mimic water color. oh anyway you're welcome arestocrat:tihi:


I know that I rarely updated these day:dad:

and here that I done today
speed painting, and the last two it an old personal project (urgh a lot unfinished painting :dad:)

[kingkostas]

wow the inks?!! i love them
Lovely anatomy studies and btw i am glad that i see progress in your rendering system.
The last piece can become really great.
Keep it up mate :)

[wakoes]

@kingkostas: thank you kingkostasand... I hope so ... since I'm always fail when it come to rendering :dad:

anyway here my update today ><

some speedies

[kingkostas]

nice, you also have the patience to do multi-person compositions :)
You are doing great, dont worry at all and keep up and enjoy :)
see ya
(to much black in the last, but may be a nice experiment :) )

[liquidjack]

Just working away....great stuff....watch the head proportions on some of your stuff. It seems to come and go....sometimes the heads are pretty big.

[wakoes]

@kingkostas:thank youu so much kingkostas, I will try do better next time :yayca:
and the reason that I do that last woman painting with more darker or too much black on it it because for some narrow minded ppl here in Indonesia it consider as a porn >< (maybe I should practice on fluid too, then next time I'll be able draw some cloth on it:dad:)

@liquidjack: thanks you liquidjack I aware on that head proportion stuff as you say, maybe it because usually my my current painting usually got some influence from my previous one, and usually that head become too big when I start painting some manga stuff, I ll do more practice so I be able do better next time



anyway since I think most of the ppl here more open minded maybe it alright if I post it here

[kingkostas]

hehehehe :) i understand.
Now, i think all the graduations(from shadow to light) are very smooth or "round"
Keep working anyway.Maybe some photostudies(greyscale with not very contrast so that you will have less extreme blacks in there) and some life study of some items in your desk or whatever will help you with some things.
Keep up the good work

[Lav]

great updates :) i really like the speedie of the robot in post 161 but it feels like the women in your last paint is a bit cross eyed, just a small detail

[wakoes]

@kingkostas::thank you kingkostas, I think that a good idea, I'll try it now :yayca:

@Lav:thanks I'll do better next time :yayca:

small update from previous drawing

[wakoes]

small update today :dad:

[kingkostas]

hi mate.The woman comes nice.Ok i see a lot of blurring or maybe smudging.If you do that it will be good to reduce it.Its not that we want to see each blending done full smoothly.In the first phase yea it gives the look "wow that looks like real" but soon we realize that it looks dull and boring and blured.You are doing great dont worry, i am just reminding things here hehe
Nice studies.Dont lose yourself with the muscles but give attention to the proportions and the basic masses of the body (head,chest,pelvis)

keep going mate

[wakoes]

@kingkostas: hmm I done it on cardboard with marker, water color, pen, acrylic and low pressure airbrush, King:dad: and the original size was A3 and i think it a bit hard to smudging on acrylic painting king :( and yes I did edit it with CS3 for resizing and retouch it little bit to remove that cardboard texture and the it a bit dark( I know and aware that these day we can achieve it this kinda painting on digi and a lot of software that can help us to do it ) , and i was inspired by Pascal Chove painting.
Anyway thank youuuuu so much for the advice kingkostas, and for the proportions I will keep it in mind kingkostas:) I will do better next time :yayca:


here the painting before I retouch it

[arestocrat]

damn man, you seem so busy and hard working, I feel lazy and unworthy ;<

Nice stuff, esp. your digis seem to get better everytime, totally love this one : http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=850849&stc=1&d=1260408083

[wakoes]

[miycko]

sweet updates man :D love those custom brushes and your skills are improving a lot :teeth:

[kingkostas]

nice shapes in the last ones mate.Btw the enviroments seem to have like random effects here and there.It makes them somehow confusing.
Keep up mate :)

[arestocrat]

I agree with what kingkostas said! Also watch out not to use too much black in the shadows.
Keep it up!

[arestocrat]

I agree with what kingkostas said! Also watch out not to use too much black in the shadows.
Keep it up!

€: sorry for double post :( damn lag

[Iiridellia]

Hmmm, It seems like you are, in general, using too much black. Perhaps use something a bit paler, in the range of dark dark blues or greys? Browns work well, too...

[wakoes]

@miycko: thank you mate:D

@kingkostas: thank you King:D actually that last two painting I done it unpurpose while I try to make costume brush on painter :dad:( it more difficult then I though it was) and another thing my pc keep crashing every time I try to made a new layer on painter (hmmm.. I thing I need to reinstall it) anyway the previous one it also done while I try to made my own costume brush except that one i done it on CS, I and I greed with you about that to much effect on my painting in fact from all that my speedies stuff that I made recently this one that I like http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=892370&stc=1&d=1264865830

anyway.. once again thank you kingkostas,I will try do better next time:yayca:

@arestocrat: thank you arestocrat, thank you for remaining me I'll do better next time :yayca: oh and about that double post thing no problem it happen sometime :tihi:

@Iiridellia: thank you Iiridellia, thank you for your suggestion Iiridellia :tihi:


anyway I'm sorry that I have a lack of update recently:dad:
and I'm sorry for that.
and ... here something that I recently do at my office during the lunch break on friend tablet :tihi: sill rough tho and I don't know if I be able to finish it :dad:... may be I'll finish it next weekend, or maybe it I have spare time to kill :tihi: well till next time cya

[Lav]

yay updates! i'm really digging your latest paint, i hope you'll finish it :)

[B-Man]

I really liked your thumbnails in the organizer. :D And your beeing really productive. thats great! :) Keep this up mate!

[kingkostas]

thats great!!! i love the last ones very much.The last composition is great, and from the composition sketch(i thought there were some people kissing or something) then by surprise it went on another level :).Very nice work.Keep playing with it and dont overdo it with effects(because its very solid now),
Btw i like the last speed enviro.Its seems more clear
Keep up mate!!!

[wakoes]

@Lav:Thank you Lav :D and well I don't know we'll see :P

@B-Man: Thank you B-Man:yayca:, and.... I'm not that kinda productive actually :dad: I usually painting or drawing when I was lil under stress with my job doing journal report thingy for me personally its a pain re-leave, anyway thanks B-Man

@kingkostas:thank you kingkostas, and.... "Keep playing with it and dont overdo it with effects....." I cross my finger on that :tihi:, coz sometime my mind it tickling with some simple question "What if?":D



anyway here some faces speedies stuff that I done today each took some 30 mins or so( just fun stuff)

and...

some enviro stuff (just some mind relaxing painting while listening yiruma)

and...

and here some small update from previous one :anime:



Cheers:drinkup:

[towy]

nice images don't stop the work ; )

[kingkostas]

:) keep up working on this last one!!!!!!
Btw nice studies, but again i see a lot of white and black.ok ok i am a pain in the ass hahahaha, but even if you want to play with black and white (if thats what you want as a style) in that way you have to make it fit as a whole in your works.
Keep relaxing and enjoying art :)

thnx for telling about yiruma, i checked in youtube and i find the music very nice and relaxing .Will listen for some time)

[zerdron]

I like your nudes 'cause I'm currently doing some female anatomy studies.

[arestocrat]

nice stuff. Great that you didn't use too much texture in the latest pictures! Adding textures like salt is always a good idea.. A bit can make a meal taste better, but too much and you ruin it!
Keep it up!

[miycko]

cool speedies man, and all in 30 mins :O they look great :D i love this http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=908604&stc=1&d=1266434661 can't wait to see it finished

[wakoes]

@towy: thank you :)

@kingkostas: thank you for encouraging King :D, nah its OK king there some minor problem with my eyes actually I'm only able to see the color if the background either fully white or totally black king,
I will try not to used to much black or white on my painting :yayca:
and yup its one its really nice ,I usually listen his music or Enya at the office its really help me a lot :)

@zerdron: feel free to browse around I hope its help you :)

@arestocrat: thank you for the Idea arestocrat :D I will keep that in mind :) and I don't want to use any texture on this painting I want to try myself to made a textural image using this simple brush kinda self challenging :)

@miycko: thank you miycko, and yup it about 30 mins or so well I didn't exact count it I used yiruma song as a measurement each painting done in between 2 or 3 song so ... hmmm maybe it should be around 15 mins or so if use the average length each song about 5 mins, well since those four speedies stuff it take me some 2 hours to complete it, so i just take the average it about 30 mins :P, and I hope so if i could manage my time between my work hours and social activities my agenda kinda full this month :dad:

[Lav]

Great updates! i love the character concept you did there! but is she an alien? because for a human her skin colour makes her look very ill. I like where your last paint is going but i prefer the one without the motion blur going on. Keep up the nice work :)
