Hey man i really like post 1241, try to do some more character stuff, i think you could come up with some cool ideas. Post 1242, your color is a little flat there is more color variation in the human face and the neck is a little small. keep up the studies man your doing good. The temple your working on looks pretty cool, cant wait to see more stuff man

[p sage]

Wow...if this is flakey for you...I wanna see full speed!! ;)

Pshh... I want warp speed. Cave the universe in on itself. Make us go back in time, dammit. (Just got to one up my buddy there :P)

Oh... and these leg studies (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1340328&stc=1&d=1318294037)? Srsly? Very very good. Very nice and "volumey." (I'm downloadin' em for reference. Thx)

[Eightball_]

the leg studies are nice man. the values in your latest composition are also working nicely, but i think their poses could be more natural. anyway, keep up the good work, and don't forget big brushes!

[Vritra]

The leg studies are looking good. I like the way your lines are shaping up, you have good control over them.

The cinematic piece looks too wide to be cinematic, though. Is this 2.39:1?

[Kungfoowiz]

Heey heey! =) Got some pussy tonight =)

Wasabi89 - Waha! Okay qwl, yip I plan to take it further.. would like to try some crazy things on it, really mess it up.. I'm pretty good at that =) Cheers cheers! =)

Jephyr X - Lull yip it's a crazy world.. stuff is flying through space at us around 80,000 km per hour.. holy crap! =) Will do =) Yip.. the abstract is done, I got to write the full thing in a few weeks time which should be no problem =) Cheers for bro-care =) Meeow! =)

Prsnsweeney - Hey bro, thank you for the compliment on that, Actually I can't credit for that, it's a study off a 3d model, yip, using it to study form and light falloff =) Cheers for the tips, I'll be making some adjustments for that piece soon =) Cheers cheers! =)

P Sage - Lull!!? Thank you for the nice compliment.. I'm flattered.. lull.. don't what to say.. haha.. Cheers bro =)

Eightball - Heey bro! =) Ah thank you for the feedback, mmm, okay it looks like poses and approach need some work then =) Cheers cheers! =)

Vritra - Hey bro! =) Thank you for the compliment =) Mmm.. I wouldn't really say I'm in control.. haha =) The cinematic piece could be a bit wide, tbh I haven't measured it, I just put in like a widescreen dimension when I started off the canvas.. I didn't really think about that when I started off.. sorry about that.. mmm will have a look at more specific dimensions in future =) Thank you for the tip =) Cheers cheers! =)

[Ven S]

Meow! Looking good bro! The latest studies are looking rad! :D

[Gthm/death]

Dude!!! The UDK stuff looks really cool. Is that just part of you level?

[LtPlissken]

Sexy studies mate.
Maybe on those digital portraits, you tend
to do the eyes too sharp and with much contrast
compared to the other parts of the face, which are
done in a much softer manner.
Either way you are working like a machine,
so success is just beyond that next cliff.

[Kungfoowiz]

MEEOW MEEOW MEEOW! =) Lull! =) Hey Guys and Girlz!?! =)

Well you won't FUCKING BELIEVE what happened yesterday. =(

We got kicked out of our fucking room.. jus randomly while we were working.. WTF!?!?

Should we even bother to come into Uni anymore!? Fucking hell.. What next!?!

We pay fucking HUGE AMOUNTS of MONEY to these people.. to PISS AROUND =(


Ven S - Thank you very much =)

Gthm/death - Thank you bro =) Mmm, the temple yes, that is half finished I guess =) Will be finishing it after this latest area, UDK BackAlley =) Cheers Cheers! =)

Lt Plissken - Thank you for the advice bro, will take you up on that and start to look at contrast in her face =) Cheers Cheers! =)

Good job of blending on the girl with the dark hair...and the texture and proportions on the kitty cat are looking good too!

Congrats on solving the Rubix cube. I did that once...but had to take it apart and re-assemmble it to do it!

[Gthm/death]

Its nice to see that you find time to draw, Cool man. As for the UDK level, MAN< THE TEXTURES LOOK KICK ASS. Loved the 2nd one in the last post.

[Jephyr X]

ninjikitties say purrfect! ^^^^^^ I really like the addition of the blue-ish lights and the wood texture and camera position on the second one are super kitty cool!

Thanks as always for your support in my thread. I may not be a able to post anything there for a week or so as I finish a video for school. :blah:

:)

Glad to hear that arm is healing up!

:meow:

:yayca:

[AlexTooth]

Very atmospheric mate, GL with the handing in of work!

[jeremygordon89]

Arms and legs are looking great, keep working on your figures (you're making great strides).
The alley images are looking pretty nice too. Definitely keep up the pace, it's definitely
paying off : D

[Kungfoowiz]

Word word¬ ! =)

This is the last preview I'm showing you guys before I go for finish =) About 90% finished with texturing, gonna do some finishing touches and then move onto reviewing lighting, sounds and cinematics for UDK =)
Cheers Cheers =)

[wasabi89]

That light source is just killer man. Really well done.
Great job!

[FUSHANDCHUPS]

Nice enviros man, are you going to use them for paint-overs?

[Ludic]

Heeeey man! Sorry for not visiting in a while, you are doing great with the environments!
also These (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1344441&stc=1&d=1318812467) hand studies are beast!

[Jephyr X]

Itz so cool to see you adding in details to the UDK's! Diggin the grafitti and lights and light haze...even newspapers blowin around (lovin the UFO story)!!

;)

No kitty-cats though? :[

:tihi:

Ciao fer now bro-man-dood!

:yayca:

[Vritra]

Your 3D work is looking good to an untrained eye like mine. Keep them coming.

Also, I like the page with the hand studies. They show some really good control over lines, my friend. But as far as your human figures are concerned, I'd say you need to work a little on the proportions and rhythm. Right now they're quite static, also, some places look thick. Not thick as in fat, or voluptuous, but just unnaturally... thick.

Sorry if that sounded strange. It's the vicissitude of receiving a crit from a complete untrained twit like me. Keep doing what you're doing. It's looking great.

[Kungfoowiz]

Meeow Meeow! =)

Here's my first finished piece.. kinda happy to put it into my portfolio, yip there are plenty of issues with it I'm sure, but jus gotta move on and learn more more now =)

JsZHqz-Hm8g

There's a process for making this in the UDK, all on my blog (http://kungfoowiz.blogspot.com) for anyone who's curious =)

Jus one page tonight.. trying to get back into the swing of things =)

Wasabi89 - Ah cheers bro! =) Much appreciate the compliment on my stuff! =)

FUSHANDCHUPS - Heey bro! =) Cheers for the ups! =) Nope, the UDK is for University, we had to make an environment using Maya, never really used it before tbh, we had to learn on the job =) Then put it into the UDK as I'm focusing on art for video games =) Cheers Cheers for the support bro! =)

Ludic - Lull! =) Aww bro, I really appreciate your nice compliment, I'm glad you like them =) You are rocking it in the studies too, I'm very impressed with how you doing stuff =) Cheers Cheers bro! =)

Jephyr X - Ninjikitty friend! =) Haha, lull, the graffiti is secret ninjikitty code =) =) Ahhh, no time to make kitties yet.. Mmm.. I made some kitties for the moment though, check here (http://sketch.odopod.com/sketches/284765) and here (http://sketch.odopod.com/sketches/284773) =) Cheers bro! =)

Vritra - Aww thank you for the compliment bro! =) Thank you for feedback on figures, I'll start to work more rhythm and keep working on the proportion, really want to get them wayyy better =) Cheers for that bro =) No it's okay bro, you guys are welcome to say how you feel about stuff, please don't feel scared to say something, I'm quite okay with it =) You're not untrained, far from it!!! =) So wouldn't put yourself down bro =) Hope you are keeping well =) Cheers Cheers! =)

[Kungfoowiz]

Heeey! =)

Found this cheap paper from Asda to draw on.. it's nice! =)

So.. mmm update on Uni.. basically I feel majorly depressed by the course.. I don't think it was anything that I'd hoped, and about the most positive thing I can say is that I made some friends, but I honestly can't wait to finish now, we're on the last assignment which will be finishing in about May next year. =)

However! I'm going to make the most of it, so atm I'm teaming up with a friend to do my Final Uni Project on a fantasy/undead theme, something quite inspired by Diablo 3 (http://imageshack.us/g/443/625k22d.jpg/), as I'm really impressed by the mood and themes they've manage to achieve, so that's my objective for my final, rather than to emphasise cliches!

The environment will most likely be made in Unreal UDK =)

So Without further adue, I'm going to forge ahead with fleshing stuff out! =)

Cheers Guys! =)

[jam.00]

She looks so angry! Lol, awesome :) .

[Jephyr X]

Hey bra! That fly-through is massive cool. Love all the textures and lighting...the ripped up newspapers are a nice touch...not to mention the scary headlines.

Your figures are shewing steady improvement mang...like the ones in the fly-through post and the shading above!! Yer gettin' good at them portraits too! As always...it's good to see the studies!

Lovin yer kitty pix...cool time lapse...I want mohr!! :) BTW I put a pi'chure of my real life queen of the ninjikitties in my thread if ya wanna look-see.

Keep 'em comin' friendo!

Great progress Ed! Good to see some 3d in there too. Would really like to see some gesture drawings though, I think your figures would really benefit from it. Keep up the good work

[Kungfoowiz]

Heey Guys! =)

Heey Steve! =) Ah man your stuff is Awesome! =) Thank you for the feedback =), started to work on some gesture tonight =) Keep well bro =)

Ven S - Haha.. Cheers for the compliment bro =)

P Sage - Lulls =) Okies =) Thank you bro =)

[poetry man]

what I noticed the most was that line quality and lighting improved. Those two in themselves are really effective... Keep it up man!

[devastacio]

Hey there mate,

How are you doing man. Its been a long time!

hey those UDK levels are just great. Especially the back Alley. I really like the 'Terrain' as well as the 'Naga Temple' too, although they could use some details.


# 1241 - Morrigan!! <3 <3

btw i must say that your line-work has improved, but there's always room for improvement. Keep up the good work and ill drop in to check your next update. :)

[Ramalooke]

Nice update mate xd You need more studies. Simply repeat this simple formula: Study then apply study into your personal piece. And you will be there in no time ;)

[LtPlissken]

Line quality improved indeed. The studies are paying off.
And those eyes on this last portrait, simply fantastic.
Good choice that you went black and white, gives the piece
some nice creepy feeling. I guess it's the Blair Witch when
she was young and sober.

[Ricardo Robles]

man, your improvement made me shudder:), that´s what I felt when looking at your last works... little steps are making a whole. The girl portait is great, those eyes are so alive!

[SMILEFACE]

HAHa THE GRAFFITI ON THE UDK JUST MADE IT OFFICIAL!!! XD YALL RRRRRRROOCCCKKKKKKKKKK BROTHER MMMMEEEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWXDXDXD

[Kungfoowiz]

Heey! =)

Dunno what any of this is.. if you guys can tell that's great =) I'm gonna have some weetbix now =) See you guys =)

Poetry Man, Devastacio - Thank you for the compliments, I got to get waaay better though, my stuff sucks =) Cheers Cheers =)

Ramalooke - Cheers man, will do =)

LtPlissken -She was sober, I wasn't =) Cheers man =)

Ricardo Robles - Ahaha.. ahh.. I'm sorry my work creeps you out a bit, cheers for the compliment man, need to step things up further yes =)

SMILEFACE - Lull.. yip, everything I do on here is official! =) Hahahaha! =) Cheers man, you're the best! =)

[Alex Eh]

ahhhh so those are the beloved cats!!!

Watch out for your proportions! Pay close attention to the shapes.

[wasabi89]

Funny cats dude haha
That last b&w portrait are looking awesome too. I loved her eyes.
Good job on that. Otherwise your line quality are getting a lot more confident.
Keep it up that good work!
meow meow haha =)

[zou]

hi Kung
i like the post n:1299
it seems shape working give results no ?
did u tried the shape drawing method ? It's a painting method. Instead of beginning with lines and measuring proportions, you eyeball the shapes and shading and you correct the shapes according to the shape next to it. Your constantly correct until you image is done :) and of course it's more fun than lines/measuring method

the portrait in 1294 is nicely shaded (still proportions fixes)

[Ludic]

Awesome daily updates man! Studies are looking great! :)

[prsnsweeney]

hey man sorry its been so long since i stopped by hows it going, i like the cat studies you just posted and the eyes in the portrait a little ways up looks good too. Sorry to hear about being dissapointed in your class. Im currently taking a zbrush class and its kicking my ass

[Kungfoowiz]

Prsnsweeney - Hey bro, Zbrush is really fun, the interface is a bit different at first but keep at it and I personally found it alot better than Mudbox tbh =) Cheers bro, have a good one =)

This (http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1357785&stc=1&d=1320371373) doesn't look like you at all, does it? ;) No :)

Keep going; you have all the ability welled up inside... just keep it flowing, and refining.

Thanks for the constant support, buddy. Hope SMILEFACE XDDDDD doesn't squish too many of your kitties ;)

[Niva.]

Hey dude, thanks for commenting on my SB, I want to return the favor of course :)

You're working really hard and it shows, I think what's lacking right now is that you're not pushing enough to give your works a more finished look. I'm thinking it's not an issue of skill but motivation. I'll go out on a limb and suggest that you get involved with some of the community activities if you have time like the creature/character of the week challenges. Those would get you more motivation, specific briefs, and hopefully more critiques on how to improve exactly.

I looked through earlier portions of your book here and some of your digitals are spot on when you're using a reference. Just keep at it, don't give up!

[Eightball_]

the pencil and value studies are looking good, but don't be afraid to dip your feet in color. also keep in mind stiffness and proportion in your figure drawings. anyway, keep up the good work and good luck on your final project ! the moody fantasy theme looks promising :)

[Kungfoowiz]

Heeey Guys! =)

Not much drawing tonight.. sorry I haven't been on much either =)
Been working on a lot of Uni stuff which jus sucks my time unbelievably.. =(

Done abit more work on that cine piece, sorry I'm not really fast or anything, basically figuring stuff out as I go along.. =)

See you guys again soon okays =)

Shizmoo - Heey sister! =) Thanx a lot for the compliment =) Oh god, looking at it again though there's a tonne of stuff wrong with it =(

P Sage - Haha, yip that's my hair when I wake up in the morning! =) Thank you very much bro =)

Niva - Heey bro! =) That's awesome advice, I'll do some Chow soon =) Cheers for booting me in the ass for it! =) I like that! =) Thank you for the compliment aswell =)

Eightball - Heey bro! =) Ah cheers for the compliment =) Sure, I'll do some colour, took a break from it to focus on values but will mix it uP with some colours! =) Foosure, will try to loosen up a bit on my figures, using mostly construction which I think gives that stiff effect.. will try to improve onit! =) Thank you for the compliment and good wishes! =)

[wasabi89]

That last b&w portrait its really great man!
i can see you already improved your faces dudee
keep with it, lets goooooo!

[jeremygordon89]

Dude, that last black and white portrait really is sweet! Your heads have improved leaps
and bounds! Now you just need to keep working on things like you have been and keep
making that awesome progress : ) Have fun with your next ones man!

[SMILEFACE]

Yer SP ROCKS!!!! AN I REALLY DIG THE PURPLE ATMOSPHERE IN THE LATEST SETS AN AWESOME MOOD WITH THE COMP XDXDXD MMRRRRRRAAAAOOOORRRRRR PLEASE XD

[Loathsome]

Hip-down looks good but the rest looks awkward.
you need to work on the shoulders and chest area a lot more. You seem to make heads too small too.

Make more figure drawing, draw poses and spend at least 2-4 minutes on each pose and pull out the anatomy.

Keep pushing, you're keeping the momentum going, that's good!

[Kungfoowiz]

HEEEEEEEY Guys and Girlz! =)

Decided to do some Self-life drawing at 3am =) Lull =) Hope you like my man tits =)

Cheerio! =)

Wasabi89 - Thank you bro! =)

SMILEFACE - Thank you bro =) My stuff sucks tho! =)

Kidult - Aww Thank you very much bro! =) Yip Yip Yipeee! =) Lullz =)

Zou - Thanx bro!!!! =) Haha, nnuuuupes! =) Sweet bro, thank yous! =)

[LtPlissken]

I would repeat the same thing about the line quality,
and your digital rendering skills. Both has improved,
however your biggest and weakest point is the
proportions, so you should focus much more
on that aspect on the game. Sorry for
not visiting more earlier.

[Kungfoowiz]

Heeeey guys! =)

Here's tonight's splurge! =) Having difficulty with skin atm =)

Been looking around to see how other people are painting and drawing.. like Daarken's new community site (http://enliighten.com/) =)

Need to get some fresh ideas on how to approach paint and drawing also.. =) Thank you for the tips and help guys, I appreciate all the feedback I get from you guys and try to work it into my crazy, nonsense workflow =)

Keep well everyone! =)

Lt Plissken - Thank you for the compliment! =) Yip I practice proportion all the time not to worry, or at least try and check it as best I can, will keep practicing! =) Cheers! =)

[kischi]

hey man great work here, keep on going with it and just look carefule after your proportions as some here already said.
the proportions in your last linedrawings are good, just the bw backview of the girl is a little bit off.
keep it up - cheers

[JailHouseRock2]

Great to see your still rocking the studies, anatomy's really taken a big step up!

Keep it up man, this stuffs looking awesome!

[chazillah]

thanks for dropping by! keep working hard. you've come a long way!

[asa]

I like the new sketches
keep them coming

[LtPlissken]

That's a nice ass.
What happened to his/her top part?
Chopped off by a huge monster brutally?

[Cranberry]

There is obvious improvement here, nice! I would, like LtPlissken already mentioned, pay some more attention to proportions, it's really obvious in post 1327 (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=3296923&postcount=1327) for example. The lines in 1325 are really nice though, keep going!

Aw man, you're British and you don't know what a shrubbery is??

2UbtcmjfKa8


Nice girls in your upate, BTW.


=)

[zou]

the rendering of the girl has some nice effect in it (the features)
but you must work the structures (the jaw is weird) you MUST draw structure in first steps , even if you gonna cover it with paint later.


the attitude the the last girl is great ! keep that quality

cheers mate

[Ramalooke]

Do more anatomy studies and figure drawings ;)

[wasabi89]

Hey matey
Loved that last girl portrait. Really sweet colors!
keep that stuff coming!

[Wassim]

Hi dude , how are you doing ? hope u doing fine
nice studies so far , i really like the last digital painting , it looks wonderful
and about the girls that you have drawn , they look cool just try to add some bone parts and some anatomical forms , you know ;)
good luck with your studies
and have a good time

wassim

[ConnyNordlund]

You need to remind yourself about anatomy when drawing, it seems like you just draw them without a care. Sometimes they look decent, sometimes they look like lumps. The structure is all over the place some times.

Instead of thinking "i'm drawing an arm", think "this is where the bone go and the deltoid will connect here, this is where the bicep would be and it attaches here, this humps here is because the ribcage pinches the obliques and on the other side it will stretch".. etc,etc. In time these things come automatically but it won't do so now because you don't have that experience yet.

Draw your anatomy
Then draw your figuredrawings
Then draw your stuff from mind and APPLY what you learned.

It's very easy to tell that you apply what you've seen but not really what you're learning. Because you add the bumps and stuff on the bodies but it seems to me as if you don't really know why it looks like that. You've had the same sort of look throughout your sketchbook.

Focus harder, pay attention to the structure. Draw your anatomy and apply it to the figuredrawing and your imagination work.

Hey Guys and Girlz! =)

Sorry I haven't updated lately, been really busy with making a 3d character (http://kungfoowiz.blogspot.com/2011/11/zombi-preview.html) =)

Moar foreshortening, if you can do more. Moar moar moar. You're starting to get a feel for it with that last one. And resist the temptation to put all of a person's limbs on the same plane (roadkill/flyswatted/etc) as in the previous panel.

[LtPlissken]

My morale is a bit low, cause I haven't seen any big juggernaut
breasts today, so I guess I will just have to put on some movies.
But your studies are getting nicer, start to do one line with one
shot, drawing from your shoulder or from your elbow, not from your
wrist. I started to hold the pencil a little differently than before,
and the results are very good. At first it's kinda strange, but you
should try it. Try to hold the pencil in a different way, and maybe
your lines will get more fluid. We will talk more, later if you will
come down to the pub.

[wasabi89]

Hey man, looking pretty nice, as Plisken said, try to do one line with one shot
I wanna see moar studies buddy

keep it up!

[zou]

hi buddy

i just noticed how nice your sketchbook (the one in the photo) is nice,

the drawings are not bad too :D

keep you loose lines but remember to get more serious on structure (just keep it in mind)

i saw your zbrush charchter too :)
you should not go high res too soon when sculpting, and remember to smooth after a bunch of strokes.

take care

[Kungfoowiz]

Heeyyy Guys! =)

Been listening to Memoirs of a Geisha audiobook while drawing, is really nice =) See you guys again soon =)

Lt Plissken - Lull.. can see if draw different types of breasts, maybe you will like that =)

Wasabi89 - Thank you for your kindness =)

Zou - Thank you for the feedback =) Yip I need to improve.. structure and values are some of my weakest areas, will put in more of an effort =)

[strangedawn]

its been a while.i havent comment to your sb for a long time but actually i look your works sometimes i am just so busy and little lazy to update and comment hehe..but all i can say is nice lots of improvement to your work man.your colors are really great especially in post 1340 and 1347 that is really good and your sketches are coming along too.anatomy is only thing that causing problems i think you should need to adjust it more(but your anatomy is always improving just keep pushing).just keep going and going.keep up the good work!=)

[rinnikirun]

I :heart: your lines. Really loose :D Keep it up!

[Vritra]

Hey there Kungfoowiz, long time. I should've dropped by sooner. Your faces have gotten really good, but your figure work could still use a bit of work.

However, what I'd like to point out right now is the homogeneity that is coming through in your work right now. The faces all tend to have the same structures and proportions. The human figures also look very similar. It seems all the girls have similar body types and gestures. I really think you should step out of your comfort zone and try and study diverse faces and figures.

You know it's a pleasure visiting your sketchbook. Keep up the good work.

[Kungfoowiz]

Yomeeow! =)

Drawing drawing =)

Strangedawn - Hey it's qwl.. don't worry about it =) Thank you for the compliments =) Practice practice practice! =)

Ven- - Thank you =) Starting to like them also =) Cheers =)

Vritra - Aww cheers bro =) Yip got to get the figures waaaaaay better =) Cheers for that bro, I'll start to bring in some more variety, think I am actually beginning to repeat myself =) Np bro, thank you for the kindness =) Have a good one =)

[Jephyr X]

Jello m8! So I owe you replies on a few fronts but thought I'd start here if'n ya don't mind.

:)

So I'm diggin yer latest figures and especially dem girlies. I like the way yer starting to put a little more curve to them. The 2nd graphite in 1359 and the last one in 1363 fer example. My characters usually nave more meat on 'em but I see where you're going stylistically.

;)

Diggin the portraits and digi-paints too. I'm seeing improvement in all!

Glad yer likin Shastakovitch! :meow:

Ciao fer now

:yayca:

[MoKhi]

Hey,

It's been a while and you keep pumping out art at an incredible rate. Your page count is truly impressive.

I like what's happening with your figures, especially those in post #1363, but I agree with Virtra. Try stopping into a library and looking at the book of portrait photography. A lot of artists fill books with drawing of features alone.

Keep it up!

[ConnyNordlund]

Your figures are getting a lot better. There still some odd wonkyness here and there, I keep repeating myself but it still looks that there's no real structure on certain parts of the body.

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1369436&stc=1&d=1322011187

That one especially. I'm sure you see it too because it's all over the place. To me it seems like you've been observing the bumps and stuff in the body and sort of skipped the structure of why the bumps appear. I'm sure you've studied why, but I don't think you keep that in mind when you draw it from imagination, not the same way as you would if you did it from a photo. Or well, I expect that you do that with studies. You also sometimes break bones in your figures bodies to make it more dynamic, you don't have to do that to make it look dynamic just remember the line of action. Flowy lines, it's all about the flowy linessss.

You basically need to be more tactical when you draw. Don't just draw a bump here and a lump there and a point there and a leg stretching there. You need to properly measure things and remind yourself of what's going on and keep track on the overall pose, so it works. The more recent poses you did makes more sense, I'm talking about these:

(ref?)
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1378773&stc=1&d=1323391869
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1375640&stc=1&d=1322955460
(imagination?)
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1375639&stc=1&d=1322955442

They look better because you didn't just put a leg there, a foot there, a hand reaching over there and the other foot turning over there, turned in a way that it'd look broken but it has to be there to make the pose look like you want.. It's structured and planned out and you kept your focus on the anatomy as well.

Whenever you start drawing mindlessly, stop yourself and take a break and then get back into it. You'll just overwork yourself and end up with wonky drawings, you don't want either of that.

Keep up the flow though, you're doing a lot of work and that's great. Keep pushing yourself and stay out of comfortzones.

[ConnyNordlund]

ps. when doing poses from mind, try posing like the character, if you can't even closely do it then it's completely wrong and you need to re think it.

I mean, try standing like the girl in the middle in this post:
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1369436&stc=1&d=1322011187

And then try and stand like the other two and tell me if it feels natural to you :P

Not trying to stomp you in the face, I'm just trying to make you see the problem.

[jam.00]

Hey Ed! Good portrait updates (: . I really feel the life in your Brea Bennett piece. Can't wait for more (:

MoKhi - Aww thank you for the compliment on my stuff =) I don't feel I really deserve it tho lull but thank you =) Sure thing, I plan to keep drawing faces and bodies for a while, so I'll keep practicing portraits and maybe scale them up a bit soon =) Cheers =)

ConnyNordlund - Hey bro =) It's qwl, I love it when you or anyone else gives me decent feedback, so don't worry about it =) Yip, I do a lot of observation drawing to help me to see things.. but you're right I need to work on structure so much it's not even funny.. I will keep practicing it until it gets waaay better than atm =) The first page are ref, but the second page is a mix, 1 from imagi, 1 from ref =) Third page is all imagi =) Ah cheers for the compliment on those, yip I was trying to draw in perspective =) I agree completely with on that, I don't like drawing mindlessely, particularly when I first started out, I had trouble maintaining focus and I had to keep drawing even though I couldn't focus properly. I think I'm slowly overcoming those issues though but yip, lots of work still to do =) Cheers for compliment bro, altho I don't deserve it lulls =)

Jam.00 - Lull.. that piece is so old I had almost forgotten about it.. Thank you for the compliment but I don't deserve it! =) Cheers =)

She is nice and crisp, you got some soft rose
color on her. She is ready to accept the big

really like the recent drawings man great job keep it up when you paint you seem to lose track of the underlying structure, keep studying man

[LtPlissken]

The boar got hairy suddenly.
I like it so much.
You like wilderness,
I can see it in your eYes.

[Aragah]

really nice studies, your lines are so diferent! i like them

[Izene]

Very very nice skeleton sketch! :D

[Jephyr X]

Hey friendo,

You're really coming along man! Likin' the digital girlie study above...her proportions look pretty good and skin tone will come as you work at it.

Overall your figure work is showing marked improvement...as in the pencils below her...so all your efforts are paying off!! :painting:

I'm diggin your wild boar and animal pencils/studies...they're looking quite good.

Hope all is well! :)

:yayca:

[Vritra]

Hey Kunfoowiz, I really think you need to look at the negative space of figures right now. The work, especially the figure work, is looking a little wonky right now. Don't look at the details, just work on the figure as a whole. Treat it as a mass, and don't just see the figure, watch out for the negative space surrounding it as well.

Keep drawing, mate, and keep updating. I'll try and crit more substantially next time.

[MoKhi]

Hi, thanks for posting in my sb!

The new figures look a lot better. They don't look like they've got lumps of flesh stuck on now. They've got some anatomy. When you paint figures, do you make your colors as you go? Or do you lay out swatches before hand?

Something that one of my professors suggested (that helped me a lot) was to take some figure painting you admire and use the eyedropper tool to pull out a range of tones. It lets you see how much contrast and color goes into painting skin. You can either just look at them and then try to mix your own, or use them directly in your own study.

[Kungfoowiz]

Hey Guys! =)

Sorry for no posting lately, been busy wrapping pressies and helping Santa deliver goodies and all that normal Chrismassy stuff =)

2011 has been so tiring.. I'm pretty happy to put it behind me tbh =)

Thank you to everyone for helping me with my art this year =) Merry Christmas guys =)

LtPlissken, Aragah, Izene, Jephyr X - Thank you for the nice comments guys =)

prsnsweeney, Vritra - Thank you for the feedback guys =)

MoKhi - Np =) For colours I try to get good values without being muddy, except my values are pretty bad =) Yip I choose colours as I go along, brushing them into one another =) Thank you very much for the advice =)

[Jephyr X]

Hi 'Foo...good ta see ya back!

Nice schtuffz!! ^^^^^

You're really improving my friend...that bath-tub babe is one of your best figures yet! Seriously!

Good ta see the sketches too...and you know I'm gonna love da boid since I do so many boids myseff!! Seems like an appropriate winter palette...set off nicely by the complimentary reds of da boid.

:)

So hope you can take some time to take a break over the holidays...sounds like 2012 kicked yer butt.

Have a Merry Christmas and happy holidays!!

[Hauxe]

I love the bathtub girl. Always remember water reflects the colors around it. I try to keep this in mind when I paint water. Which isn't often since painting water is a pain in the butt. Your hardwork and progession in your SB is evident. I really enjoyed looking through it. Keep up the hard work!

[zou]

hi dude
the bath girl is well done, perhaps some blending in the stomach.
the bird 's colors are greats too (textures and blending ...)

your proportions are getting better but keep paying attention to them, and u will achieve great results

[skMOP]

Be sure not to get too comfortable with any one method haha. Keep it up your improving tons man. :)

[Izene]

Ooh!Your are really improving!
I really loving your bird!Great strokes there!

[My57]

Hey man! Keep practising! Do more studies from life in black and white. Your paintings look a tad transparent. Would like to explain more but I need to leave soon >.> - Will comment again later!

[rinnikirun]

Yea man does digi studies are coming along great. As others have said , draw more stuff from life. :)

[My57]

Can explain now! - You use to much line. Stop relying on it you bad boy :P - Your values are lacking and thus make them look flat and "transparent" like they don't really exist. I would continue grey scale life painting in order to obtain a better sense of how to make an object feel like you can lift it with your hand. I would also recommend not using photos for objects and convert colour to grey scale as well. Don't turn the photo to grey and so on. Just do it without that help.

I seem a tad harsh. But you have made good stride and progress and I hope to see more :3

[LtPlissken]

Cowabunga dude!
It is very nice of you that you are helping Santa,
cause Santa is our big friend. Let's start with the
female in the bathtub. I can feel how she feels,
in there in a frozen water. She shaved her armpits
out of pleasure and between her legs it is very wet
and cold. She cut down her meat intake in the last
two weeks, I can see it in her eyes. Fantastic job.
The female in the ocean is great, I know that a
big shark will mangle her pretty soon and her body
parts will float on the oceans surface. Brilliant.
Your pencil studies are also improving, and I like
when you implement some little surprises, like
for example Raffaello's little dagger. Kitana also
likes daggers. I am very satisfied with your progress
and deeds. Because of this, I wish you a Merry Christmas
and happy holidays.

[wasabi89]

Hey man, just stopping by to say Happy Holidays! =)
And nice work overall, i love the last digis :D
See ya and take care!

[Justyna]

Hey again!
The bird looks cool :)

[TFsean]

Your moleskin work has such great lines and energy, love them.
One thing I would say is maybe spend a bit more time on your digital studies to fix anatomical errors and get the human figure better sussed in your head

[fantasyartist]

You've made great progress bro! There's much more sense of structure in those last drawings and the paintings are looking good as well. Keep it up!

Hi,

Your latest portrait/figure in #1387 is looking good. I like the flesh tones, and the way you painted her eyes! I think the you should try to soften the upper lip a bit, it looks a bit cut out. Keep up the great work!

[Eightball_]

nice work man! your grasp of color and value are improving tons. my only critique process-wise is to work "middle-out" when painting. for example, in the torso guy in your latest post, you started off with a good midtone but in the next step you went straight to the lightest lights and the darkest darks immediately. this may be a good method when you're studying photos but when doing works from imagination, you won't be able to judge your values accurately. my suggestion is to slowly work your way from the midtones, gradually adding lights and darks, with the absolute white and absolute darks added last (icing on the cake, if you will).

here's a link to show you what i mean:

http://ewkn.deviantart.com/art/Tutorial-Descent-165044972

hope this helps and keep up the good work!

[zou]

great improvement, seems the pause you taken made you make a nice comeback.


proportions are better, strokes better, values ...

A star for the last one, strokes are greeeaaat

[LtPlissken]

It's just way too magnificent and cool, how that dude
relaxes in a bed with his sexy looking underwear and a
beautiful look in his eyes. The way he body holds, one
can surely tell that he is a freshly baked newly melded fisherman.
He likes to fish in deep south salty lakes waters full of huge amoebas.
Your pencil skills are improving surely and strongly, just like an electric
moving stair rises in a Wallmart. Serenity on those faces can bee seen.

Hey man how you been?? I see you began 2012 with a good strenght! I loved that one (http://attachments.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1381246&stc=1&d=1323742896) of your latest pencil studies, and the digitals are growing more and more. Hope everything is ok, keep posting dude!:D

[Lightship69]

Hi matey

Just swung by to see what you have been up to and I have to say that the lace on the boobies in the lace and clothing painting is spot on it just completes it somehow! either that or I'm even more of a perv than I thought which is possible. Either way good work that mate very good.

all the best matey

[Jephyr X]

Fooooo!

Your work is showing steady improvement. Gray scale dood is looking good...proportions and lighting are well done.

Your pencils are showing growth too...I especially liked this one (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1411288&stc=1&d=1327894544)>

The skull pages look really good as does the red study!

Can't wait for the Hobbit too. Read LOTR many many years ago...and loved the movies enough to buy both the theatrical version and the extended cut DVD's.

:oneye:

:)

[Kungfoowiz]

Heeey Guys! =)

Sorry I haven't been updating you guys on my stuff, but Uni takes stupid amounts of my time =( Been busy with 3d, check my blog (http://kungfoowiz.blogspot.com/) if you are interested =)

Tomorrow morning I have mid term assessment, praying for a pass tbh, I really would hate to repeat anything.. =)

See you guys again soon (hopefully!) =)

Eightball - Thank you for the advice and tutorial =) I'll try out working from middle values for a few pieces sure =) That is a nice tutorial btw, I particularly like how much control you have with saturation, will give this a try =) Thank you muchly =)

Zou - Aww thank you Zou, your kind words are very inspiring =) Thank you muchly =)

Lt Plissken - Lull.. you are so funny, thank you for making me laugh and I hope your comics work is going nicely =)

Ricardo Robles - Heeey, going ok'ish, I'm trying to do an illustration every weekend, looked at some Graciano works (http://www.lucasgraciano.blogspot.com/2010/01/illustration-process-step-1-thumbnails.html) and will keep trying =) Thank you for the compliment =) Have a great year =) Cheers =)

Lightship69 - Lull, I'm happy to hear you like the lace =) Thank you muchly =)

JephyrX - Thank you Jeff! =) I know they are great to draw to actually, watched them so many times too =) Also have the 'Art of' books and I read those like all the time.. so amazing and inspiring =) Cheers =)

[qlotzan]

I should calling you " supper artist " because your improvement , the last posts and the
previews page have a strong improve .

keep it up my friend

qlotzan;)

[Prophet]

I love looking through well-aged sketchbooks like these where you can see an artist grow over months and years. I'll be following you, so keep up the awesome work!

[MoKhi]

Leaps and bounds as usual.

Your lips still looking a little samey, but the faces are really improving.

Good luck with your assessment! Is it art related?

[zou]

hi there

your rendering is going better and better

the first woman portrait: the eye seems a bit small no ?
but the values has a very nice gradation (keep that)

the hand is another harsh style of rendering (cool too)

i've seen your 3D: you're in the right track mate :)

[Ixallus]

Just got to go through your whole SB, i love looking through these long sketchbooks to see an Artists progress. I love your work :)

[skMOP]

Your proportions are starting to get a lot better, especially in your last post! And I really like your use of negative/blank space in the portrait and the sketchbook pages. Keep pushing the pencil rendering and take your time with it! :)

[Jephyr X]

Hey Mang! Hope you did well on the ole test!

Showing improvement with each post my friend! Blue girl at the top is subtle and well rendered. Your form and shading is improving too...that hand is a fine example.

I've been neglecting my blog but will try to update more this year and swing by yours too!

Stop by CA anytime you can...yer always welcome as far as I'm concerned!!

Ciao fer now friendo! :)

PS I've not heard of the "art of" books but love the lotr DVD sections about the concept art! I do have a lot of the Spectrum books and love Howe and Lee of course! Tasty schtuffesez my preeeeecssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuusssssss! :)

[LtPlissken]

Sweet-tastic work!
You have surely felt the blaze of tendering power
through your hand as you kept drawing all those things.
Merciful deep frosted advanced glance as your improvements
started to dance. A drawing down, a drawing frown, your
drawings all day long. Magic broom, hectic fume
may your work serve as our final doom.

[Kerah]

Wow, your latest stuff is incredible! You have a tiny bit of problem with the form but otherwise the stuff you show here is great! Keep it coming :)

[Kungfoowiz]

Heeeeey! =)

Sorry I haven't been updating much, had my midterms, teachers said I could get a first, and I'm on a 2:1 atm..
but I really want that fucking first =) Going to work 1000000000000000 million times harder now in 3d and UDK =)
Drawing when stuff is rendering =) Also watching an old movie called El Sol Del Membrillo (or Dream of Light),
it shows Antonio Lopez Garcia painting a quince tree, pretty interesting stuff,
couldn't be arsed to mess around with vhs so torrent it if you're interested.. =)

See you guys again soon =)

Qlotzan - Haha, I don't deserve such compliment, but cheers man! =)

Prophet - Lull, thx's man =)

MoKhi - THx's =) Yip, doing BA Game Art =) Cheers! =)

Zou - Thx's man =) Yip that portrait is shitty.. was supposed to be a commission, but it looks so crap =( Thx's man, gotta get muuuuch better tho, cheers for the support =)

Ixallus - Sweet man, thx's oodles =)

skMOP - Thank you for the ups on my stuff bro, will keep practicing! =) Good luck with your stuff too =)

Jephyr X - Yip Lee is a sexy =) Check this interview (http://gaytonvanryn.blogspot.com/2011/10/around-table-withalan-lee-part-1.html) if you have time, it's good =) Cheers man =)

LtPlissken - Lull.. have you played DnD before? =) You make an excellent DM =) Cheers man =)

Kerah - Ah thx's man, will do =) Cheers =)

[jeremygordon89]

Yeah I see your proportions are definitely undergoing some improvement, and the 3D stuff is pretty awesome too. Keep it up; you're going in a good direction.

[Veshkau]

Great pencil studies and 3d stuff.. really making progress Ed

[Vritra]

Hey Kunfoowiz, sorry for not dropping by earlier.

I can definitely tell that your pencil work is looking better. The lines are more confident now, and more importantly, the figures are starting to create authentic negative spaces.

The 3D work is good, but I think you can do more work on the materials. Also, the tone down the speculars on the floor slabs if you can. By that I mean just select something less 'white' for the specular lighting. The intensity can work if they are moist.

It's good to see you updating regularly, I should've dropped by earlier. Take care.

[LtPlissken]

Oh, those 3D environments and renderings!
They are divine! Please tell me the software that you
are using for those. Tell me, tell me, please tell me quickly.
I want to try to create some amazing things myself.
Your improvements over the time became fantastic.
He-Man can feel the power around your house.

[Vritra]

LtPlissken, if I'm not wrong, that would be the Unreal Development Kit. In short, UDK. It's a beast of a kit, very versatile, and it's also free to use, I believe.

See the kind of games that have been developed with it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErnmP5yjtfo

And if it's a tutorial you want, start here and keep going:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyPcULtbeoI&list=UUCc85sCjXZish1mGnm8vRFg&index=313&feature=plpp_video

Hope this helps.

Also, Kungfoowiz, I'm sorry for replying in your thread. If you feel this is inappropriate in any way, let me know; I'll delete my post right away.

[LtPlissken]

Thanks Vritra, I am definitely after the Unreal Development Kit now.

[TFsean]

Hey man, just stopping by here again.
I lovee that sketch of the sink man with the single lines. Do more of that stuff, looks awesome and really good for making you think bout how shit really is.
Also take a bit more care with your pencil rendering, someone said to me render an egg. Was pretty hard but that kind of stuff is good for getting your rendering more delicate.
:)

[kimozabbi]

your last post with a painting looks sick!its finally paying off man!sweet!

[zou]

hi kung

i didn't said shitty; actually it has many good points

your udk enviro is very nice, especially the floor (i first thaught : it's a painted thing ?)

[Kungfoowiz]

Heeeey! =) Been working on 3d, gosh I really miss you guys.. miss my drawing every day and shit.. but whatever, all of this is wip, all crits/comment most welcome =) Cheers and thank you guys! =)

Jeremy - Thx's Jeremy, really appreciate this =)

Veshkau - Thx's muchly Steve! =)

Vritra - Np =) Thx's for the great crit, I totally appreciate your comment on my speculars and will do more work on them for sure, cheers man, really appreciate that =)

Lt Plissken - Vritra answered your question hopefully, any more jus ask away =) Cheers =)

TFSean - Thx's for the nice crit, will keep practicing! =)

Kimozabbi - Lull.. thx's =)

Zou - Np, is qwl =) Thx's *bro hug* =)

[Veshkau]

Great 3d stuff, the renders on some of those are beautiful. Your drawing is coming on in leaps and bounds too - proportions, selective drawing and wrapping your strokes really well. Post more please!

[LtPlissken]

The old shamans are sipping their coffees as they
admire your 3D mayhem. Nick Nolte changed his water
heater's max temperature from low to high as he went
through you mind. Some of them doubted in your abilities,
but not me. Me never. I knew it right from the start that
you will shine. These last misty dark renderings are so
amazing, they have enabled my subconscious mind to
work hard. You could dis-convert and prevent a thousand
house mid-winter carrots to perform a mass suicide.
Wunderkind is becoming out of your presence.
You should never stop sharpening the rusty Indian knife.

[Ludic]

Really impressed by your 3d work buddy! keep working hard! :D

[Kungfoowiz]

Heey guys! =)

Been sculpting rock-like stuff most of the week, is so much fun =) Also done some drawing, mostly proportion studies, will post them up if you guys really want to see =) Thank you for the comments and crits guys, I really appreciate the feedback, gonna improve onit! =) See you guys again soon =)

[Lux_Aeterna]

hi,
thought i need to post a comment in here. :D
Finally something familiar in 3D to me. xD
I have tried to retexture a few items once in the Oblivion Construction set. I found it very interesting although it took me some hours of frustration to get into the process.
keep up the great 3D work and also i'm happy everytime I see new sketches here. :)

[patty jones]

Heeey Guys! =)

Sorry I haven't been updating you guys on my stuff, but Uni takes stupid amounts of my time =( Been busy with 3d, check my blog (http://kungfoowiz.blogspot.com/) if you are interested =)

Good going dear with some more practice you can do it much better . Good Luck.

[poetry man]

that creature sketch with the jaws is real nice! I also like the atmosphere shown in the 3d work. I'm still all for traditional, so I can't fully relate to 3d stuff right now, (and I'm not too concerned about that really, with all the "advancement" going on in the industry right now). You know me, equip with a vast trad technical understanding before transforming in the 3d realm. That's just my philosophy. Programs change, traditional tools don't!

but that's just my talk! never-mind dat! KEEP GOING MAN!

[Kungfoowiz]

Heey Guys! =)

Shew.. got 6 weeks left until graduation, yeeeeeaaaah, can't wait! =)
Been working on the Undersea, will show you guys soon the finish =) Had my final presentation at university as well,
was pretty cool that people liked my stuff there.. but I still can't be complacent, still lots of work to do =) Cheers Guys =)

Lux Aeturna - Oh hey Stells! =) I didn't know you were on here too.. =) What a surprise! =)

Poetryman - Hey man =) Ah that's qwl.. well I'm pretty okay with using anything really, I enjoy both now =) Cheers for the support man =)

[Veshkau]

That last study of the girl's face is looking great. Can really see the progress in your work Ed. Keep it up and good luck on the graduation!

[Vritra]

Great study of the face. Look out for the lower jaw, though, it looks carved out. It's there on some of your other faces too.

But overall, your pencil work is truly improving at a rapid rate. Tell me, is the 3D work contributing to it?

Also, I'll be graduating at around the same time, too. I'm doing History Honours, what about you?

[jablar]

Hey, I like the painted face, especialy the hair looks great
regarding the pencil, maybe you should try to add there more contrast, e.g. black hair or background...

[LtPlissken]

You are handling the values just like Schumacher
handled his first childhood elevated semi conducted vehicle.
You are doing great and you are getting stronger.
Maybe her hair is looking a bit pasted on, cause of the
lack of shadow underneath.

[Kungfoowiz]

Yoho! =)

Okay so it's Easter, got 3 weeks now until we start back again =) Nearly finished lighting on Undersea =)
Also gotta work on my last uni project, maybe a monster/gun/super chick or some shit =)
Here's some leaked Doom 4 screenies (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-10966-Supposed-Doom-4-Concept-Art-Leaks.html) if you interested..
God I love that game =) Looking forward to Diablo 3 as well.. and guess what, it comes out on my birthday, WAAAAA! =)

Veshkau - Sweet man, appreciate that, Cheers Steve! =)

Vritra - Aww man thx's =) Yip, 3d helps loads, it's only half the story though, knowing about lighting and shadow is just as important imho.
Haha, epic man, do you mind if I ask, what you thinking of doing after uni?
I'm doing Game Art and Animation, took animation for my first year, and that helped loads too =) Doing 3d art mostly now =)Still have a lot to learn tho,
tonnes of stuff I just don't know... =) Have a good weekend man =)

jablar - Sweet man, thx's a bunch =) Sure I'll work on abit more contrast there =) Thank you for the feedback =)

LtPlissken - Haha, thank you for the compliment man, Schumacher is a master though, I'm just a welp! =) Sure, will work on better shadow,
in this case the shadow would be very much to the left, I decided to leave it out a bit as it was distracting.. but I appreciate your feedback and
will improve on it in future pieces =)

[Kungfoowiz]

Heey! =)

Woke up this morning and worked on saturations, have a bad habit for not keeping them under control...

[Lightship69]

Hi matey

I love a good wander through your book mate Its always interesting, The girls look great but I would have preferred them down the page rather than across the page because I'm lazy and hate scrolling around.
The underwater stuff is high class man pure and simple, the drop off for the light is spot on too I rather liked that.

good work matey I'm glad I dropped by

[AlexTooth]

Heyo mr Kung to the Foo to the Wizzzah!

Nice updates, good to see you studying and stuff :)

Enviro's look interesting, perhaps a bit dark? Can't make out too much what's going on!

Keep it uppp

[Naidy]

Hey, mate. Could have swarn I've looked through your sketchbook a way while ago. I'm pretty impressed at how much you've progressed since then, especially with your faces and pencil work.

Oh! And I'm liking your 3D environment things, I haven't the slightest idea about those sorts of areas so they easily impress me. Either way, keep up the good work, mate. :D

[LtPlissken]

I got a feeling that the female portrait in #1446 is
missing a bit of the top of her head, or the hair
is just a bit badly positioned? But as I said earlier,
you are getting better and better with values.
Undersea project is going nicely, I like the feeling
of the dark and murky deep sea. Maybe a bit too
dark and blurry as someone said above, but
generally it's pretty sweet. Right now I think
that you are way ahead in your 3D aspect
than in your 2D drawings and paintings.

[Kungfoowiz]

Heey =)

Jus some cheap figures tonight, cuz I don't know how to draw figures :0

Happy Easter Guys =)

Lightship69 - Ah okay cool, I'll put them going down the page in future, not a prob =) Cheers for the compliment =)

AlexTooth - Haha, that rhymes! =) *high 5!* =) Thank you for the feedback Alex, will look at brightening the area more =) Cheers for that =)

Naidy - Thank you for the compliments =)

Lt Plissken - Yip that head study was giving me trouble, couldn't figure out how to draw the forehead. 2d takes abit more patience =) Thank you for the feedback =)

[Kungfoowiz]

Heey =)

Sad news, Thomas Kinkade passed away today =( Did a study in his honour =) Keep well guys =)

[LtPlissken]

Happy Easter to U2 buddy,
and of course RIP Kinkade....

[Kungfoowiz]

Hey man, thx's =) Recently found out I got a 2:1 for my uni dissertation, 68%... not sure what to think about that. Here's some sketches instead =) Cheers =)

[zou]

are u doing writing and this kind of stuff in 3D ?

the pencil of the this last portrait is very nice, is it finished. (coz i would go further with the rendering)

for the poses, you line quality is good as always, but try more relaxing them. wor'k more the articulation between hips and legs and shoulders and arms.(try to do some anaotmy on those spots)

don't forget to begin your poses with gesture.

cheers

[Lightship69]

Aw its ok bud you dont have to pander to my lazy ass!! do what you want I will still look anyway!

A very happy easter to you too.

and all the best wishes to you and yours matey

[fantasyartist]

Great progress overall my friend! Especially the value studies. The sense of structure in your drawings is also improving. Keep it up bro.

[jablar]

I like the initial sketch from the last work
keep going
:)

[ConnyNordlund]

Hello!
The painting aspect is getting a lot better. The cat painting was really nice, big step forward there.
There's still quite noticeable drawing errors underneath all that new painting knowledge that I would suggest that you work on.

Doin' good. Keep it up!

[Ricardo Robles]

Hi man, how you doing? that undersea scene looks amazing, definitely believable. Maybe I would add a bit more light to it. Studies are getting much better specially with value work and bodies. Heads are still a bit off though, just keep practicing.:)
take care!

[kimozabbi]

sup dude.1441 looks pretty cool but the 1446, the side of her head seems pretty long, thats just me. That cat is awesome though.

[Kungfoowiz]

Heey =) Spent most of the day in my sketchy =) Was fun =)

Zou - Yip, we had to write an essay (dissertation) on 3d/game topics. Some people failed and I think a few got like 50%'ish, so not bad considering, but I'm not exactly proud of my mark. Kinda frustrating to just miss a 1st =( Thank you for the compliment man, yip pretty much finished with it, was a quick study at like 3am to see how much I don't know =) I could finish it I guess =) Yip I agree with you on that, will practice more flow and do studies of the shoulder and hips =) Cheers man, you're pretty much spot on with the stuff =)

Lightship69 - Thank you man, haha, it's cool! =)

fantasyartist - Thank you Swendly! =)

jablar - Cheers man =)

Conny - Yip still alot of stuff I don't know about drawing.. jus got to keep practicing until it gets better =) Cheers for the encouragement man, really appreciate it =) =)

Ricardo Robles - Hey man =) I'm okaays =) I think =), I have to start back 3d next week, it's kinda crap cuz I'm really wanting to just draw you know.. =) Thank you for the feedback, yip Alex said the same thing, so I'll add a bit more light to the various areas. Cheers for that, really appreciate it =) Thx's for the feedback, will practice heads more! =)

kimozabbi - Hey man =) Haha, I'm glad you like that one, seems to be a hit! =) Cool man, yip I see the prob, will improve on that =) Cheers man =)

[jablar]

you are choosing interesting poses...

[Velocity Kendall]

doing underwater stuff is so tricky, what with the low light and visibility, but i think you did a very credible job here, well done!

[LtPlissken]

Your pencil drawing quality is slowly improving.
You just increase a bit of the breast sizes on
some of your studies. Visualize things larger.

[jeremygordon89]

Improvement is still going well for you I see, keep it up!
I don't know if you know of this website yet, but it has some awesome
photo reference for studies, check it out:
http://www.cinemasquid.com/blu-ray/movies/screenshots

[AllyAlbon]

Just worked my way through your whole sketchbook - great work! Absolutely love your linework, really unique style, just lovely.

[Eightball_]

nice work man. your values keep getting better all the time. my only crit would be is that in the easter bunny illu, you lose the hue variation you had after step 3. when you use a lot of layer modes you sometimes forget that you're supposed to keep introducing new colors into your painting all the time. other than that, keep up the good work!

[Kungfoowiz]

Heey! =) Really inspired by Fast Five last night, AWESOME movie =) The chase scenes reminded me of game play from Modern Warfare, was coool! =) Watch it if you haven't seen already =) Going to work on my last uni project tomoz. Cheers guys=)

jablar - Thx's man =)

Velocity Kendall - You have an awesome name, haha, cheers man, yip that's the trick to balance cuz of the low lighting situation =)

LtPlissken - Haha, you realllly want a larger breast size don't you! =)

Jeremy - Heeey man, how you doing!!! =) Thank you for the awesome link, I'll check it out =)

AllyAlbon - Whoa.. thx's lots, ahaha, cheers =)

Eightball - That's a good point man, I haven't heard of that before, cheers for the tip, will keep that in mind =) =)

[TFsean]

Youve been hella busy since last time I was here :) some good looking studies good job on that cat :P The figure studies in #1452 are really nice, great form, be careful with your basic form though, one of your sketches in #1463 has the arms layed over the back, back comes over the arms if that makes sense (second sheet far right) the terminator lights can add a lot of realism and you did a really nice job of it on the top left figure of that sheet, keep it subtle :D

[Vritra]

The 3D work is looking ace, still a ways to go as far as the figurative stuff is concerned, though.

I'm doing my graduation in History, and I'll be done with that soon. I'm thinking of pursuing post-graduation now, since I quite like History. Let's see where I go after that.

[Ephelea]

Hey, long time no see. :P

Nice work here.
The studies are looking better :)

[LtPlissken]

That is a very cool vehicle,
but I think that the perspective is a bit much off on it?

1464388

[Kungfoowiz]

Heey =) Fffffucken busy with my last 3d project for uni atm, for some reason I've forgotten how to do 3d, lol =) Here's jus some quick shit =) See you guys sooner hopefully =) Cheers =)

TFsean - Thank you for the feedback man, much appreciated =) Haha, glad you liked the subtle one =) Hope you killing those studies man =) =)

Vritra - Ah cool man, I did well in history at school as well, never really considered it after tho =) Maybe I should do a Phd in history, haha =)
Thank you for the feedback as always, v.appreciated =) Hope you keeping well man =)

Ephelea - Holy shit where you been sister!?! =) Lol.. Thx's lots =)

LtPlissken - Haha, that's a cool piccy man =) Yip I see so now, a bit wrong with it, in that study wanted to see if I could do hard surface stuff, admitedly tho the perspective is shyte =)
Thx's for the feedback man =) Hope you rocking the comics! =) Cheers =)

Nice practice with lighting on that reclining male figure. I also like this pic. Probably old, maybe I skipped a page back, but this one--> http://attachments.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1417088&stc=1&d=1328568432.

I think you could focus more on blind contour sketches, maybe people at cafes, or in scenery. I see you utilize the style of smooth lines-- for ex, in your roller skate sketch. That kind of line confidence can also come from blind contour exercises. And I noticed a lot of your lines are very organic- I think personally I found that to be a problem. It's a strong point when an artist can do that, but the flaw which I found from always having organic lines is that it's missing parts of accuracy that can only be attained from straight line utility. I realized that through much perspective study :). And then I saw what loomis and other artists where saying when they talked about that 'straight to curve' function-- If you use 'quick straight lines' as oppose to smooth "flowy" lines all the time, then I think you will develop another level of confidence to gain more accuracy.

mechanical lines, to organic lines. You'll see how they develop, if you study artist sketches and how the sketch lines overlap and separate.

Just my two cents... peace!!

the 3D body seems ok but the head is too large no ?
the ice surfer are great :)

Great stuff as always bro. Your 3d work is looking quite good. In you drawings you may want to use more overlapping lines to give them more depth, especially when dealing with foreshortening. Right now it seems you focus a little too much on the contours. Just my two cents. Keep it up!

Heey =)

Managed to get a freelance job in animation, yaay! =) Done a few tests for the job and they liked them =)

Okay got a week left to work on all my 3d stuff.. for the life of me I can't figure out how to render stuff in 3ds Max.. the slightest change in a texture jus messes up/crashes, also hair and fur fx is pretty shit in Max, so I'm gonna render everything in Marmoset/UDK/Zbrush as it's more stable =) Here's my creature atm, about 75%'ish done =) Cheers =)

poetry man - Hey man, thank you for advice on my lines. Can see how str lines would give more accuracy. =) Most of the time I'm not aware of what lines I make, I jus draw.. Will practice straight lines in any case. Cheers man =)

zou - Cheers man, I'll take a look at the head size, thx's for that =)

fantasyartist - Hey man, thx's for the advice on overlaps, will practice =)

jablar - Thx's man, lol, glad you like them =)

Heey! =)

Officially we have about two weeks left of university. Can't wait to finish, so tired from the three years. Had LOTS of fun and learnt a bit in hindsight, made some AWESOME friends there and also here on CA, as I joined here around the time I went to uni =) Anyway, on with the show! =)

As Poetry Man suggested, practicing straight lines =)

You're doing great with your studies; especially awesome to see you doing so much with
3D already too. Your proportions are gradually improving still, though as poetry man said,
your lines are awesome, though aiming for straighter more accurate lines is where you
should focus now. Also, I think that you would benefit from more head and hand studies,
because I notice on your figures how you sometimes avoid drawing much for the hands,
etc. All in all you're doing a great job man, and I love seeing that improvement. Keep it up!
