[gaboartpage]

Well Jokisalo
the time in my point of view
doesnt matter a lot
if is too much or to little
as long as you find a rate
where you feel comfortable
if you do 2 Hours and you are
exhausted and bored then maybe
you need change time, maybe
more or maybe less

by the way this last oil is great
feeling in the strokes :)
keep posting

hey, you got some nice stuff in here.
These days the only work I do is in my sketchbook so I can draw in it for hours (often while watching tv). But depending on my mood, this time can vary. Ultimately it's probably good to build patience so you can spend a lot of time working on one thing, but like gaboart said, it's different from person to person. Ideally you'd be enjoying yourself the whole time you're drawing, right (I know this isn't always the case)? Anyway, keep at it.

[Jokisalo]

Thanks a lot of your comment elboy.
You made me think! Maby ill start doing stuff only in my sketchbook fo a while,
studying more, trying different things and start using more time with my sketches.

[nmcleod]

really good stuff here, i like the second piece in your last post a lot, it is rendered really really nicely. no crits that i can see for today..keep posting, i'll be checkin your sketchbook more

peace
-nate

[Jokisalo]

nmcleod: thanks man, ahh should draw a lot more, but what can ya do when school takes your time. -_-

[rollb82]

so i had to see what was up your sketchbook and found that it is your creativity levels. Seet sketchbook. I love the way you build form in your drawings, especially the chipmunks and elephants! Keep up the ill work. oh an i can't stand painting with oil myself, good luck with it.

[Jokisalo]

thanks a lot rollb82!
You MADE me wanna draw, too bad i should go to sleep soon..

[Elastic]

thanks for your comment. Nice work. I like the ones where you use more time -like the portrait of the child and the guy with the gasmask-thingy. but also the animal sketch. I like drawing in the zoo, they move so one has to be quick but they don't pose or complain.-They just leave:teeth:

Naja

[Pichuerca]

There are good stuff here!

I like your style of shade it.The Chinese woman´s portrait is excellent.

Keep posting.

[Jokisalo]

Elastic: thanks a lot dropping by. Should try out myself some time to draw in the zoo! I dont like posers myself either.
Pichuerca: Yeah i like myself too those ones where i use much more time than usually, gonna do that more often. ;)

[rodrigo!]

looks great man! especially the last one i love that one, i also reaally like the one above the comic style one, because it looks like you spent more time rendering it and it turned out cool!

[Jokisalo]

thanks rodrigo!
anyone else to drop some C&C?

[Jane Radstrom]

Thanks for the compliment in my sketch thread! I hope your eyes are ok. I really like the pencil sketches recently better than the more sterile ones in your first post (the two girl's heads, specifically). Those just lack some interest, where as in the recent ones forms come in and out of focus and there is more for your eye to fill in which makes them more interesting for me. For your question about time taken to do stuff in the sketchbook, I try to change things up. The first sketch page in my thread (with all the profile heads) was about 3 hours of doodling in a coffee shop. When I feel burnt out on that sort of thing, I get out an ink pen and do some studies about line conservation where I try to put down just one line for each form and do no rendering at all, so of course that kind of thing is really fast. I dont know if that answer helps at all, though...

[Cyanid]

nice animals you draw. I like the kitten study
good pencil work overall
Nice winter feel in the last image!

[buzzz3d]

Nice sketchbook you have, very different styles.
This one (http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/11.jpg) is my favorite.

Keep drawing.!

[HilL]

The quick study of kittens is very nice and the last painting with the soldiers!?:)

[Gaussian3d]

Cool stuff man, I enjoyed some of your studies, and specially enjoyed the colored sketches!!
KEep it up!!! Thanks for dropping by on my sketchbook :D

[Xaya]

I really like the last three images, fine linework especially the characters in the third last picture!

There is nothing really to claim about, you get the range of white to black!

How do you get that perfect lines in the second last image... ?


So all i can say is: More drawings, please!!!

[emilpaun]

Gotta love the last one and the linework in that with the kiss. ;)
Keep it up, don't stop!

[Jokisalo]

Velo: Thanks pal
Cyanid: Thanks
buzzz3d: Yeah still learning other techniques so i have different styles ;)
dunno is it good or bad thing.
HilL: Yes those are soldiers ;) thanks mate.
Gaussian3d: Thanks pal
Xaya: Dunno, that day felt so good :D
KR33P: Thanks

[Jokisalo]

uptade!!::: cleaned up my sketchbook so it would look more interesting to you guys, hopefully :D

[JadeDragon]

Hi Mikko!

Hey, theres some really cool stuff here! Good experiments in color there at the top. Thats something I need to do more of too. I especially like the piece 4 rows down of the bridge looking structure and the glowy-eyed darklings underneath. Interesting imagery with the rope-like tendrils flying up from the right hand figure.

My favorite is the girls face right after that. Really nice subtle rendering in the face and the dark shadow of the neck contrast nicely with the highlights and realism of the hair. Id like to see you do more along that line. :)

Also, I am a huge Final Fantasy fan, so I greatly enjoyed your Squaresoft inspired art. Nice! And yer last character design is showing a lot of promise.

I hope to see lots more updates, man! Keep working and posting and I'll be sure to keep checking back.

Sweet sketchbook, Jokisalo!~~~~JadeDragon

[-The Swift-]

hey jokisalo, well i can see you have a brilliant imagination. Good experiments with media and your pencil rendering is pretty good! maybe get yourself into some life drawing classes to get you drawing from life more.
I liked the character design.

overall, this is great, you have really high potential, just keep drawing drawing drawing!

-bex :)

[Jokisalo]

JadeDragon: thank you man.. yeah should draw more faces ^^
-The Swift-: do i have imagination??? :D:D mm.. yeah should get some life drawing classes but you know how poor offer of that is in finland. -_- maby just few of those classes are running and half of those are what they are :/

[Zebz]

Cool stuff man, hit it up with and update! Just get all over that sketchbook as often as you can. Let your imagination run free all over the paper. I'd love to see more studies and anatomy work from you. Get down and get dirty with your study time. You'll improve a ton if you do that. Facial studies too... like someone already said.

The soilders is very cool. I'd still like to see some of the soilder defined a bit more tho. And the top little "comic thing" looks cool. Very painterly feel. Cool stuff, man. Keep it rollin.

[Jokisalo]

ZebzFree: thanks buddy. yeah is should do a lot more life studys, i am just too lazy -_-

[Madoliane]

You have some really interesting stuff here. Can't wait for another update !

[blam]

first of all, thanks a lot for you reply!

man, your pencilsketches rock. I love the en face portrait of the girl with the gloss on her nose.the first paper of all pencil sketches (hope you know which I mean)

your character design is off the hook, that last guy, I love it.the guy with the gas mask is great too.

I would like to see more of your rough sketches. they're great

keep it up

[HugeHarHar]

Some hot digital stuff. The snow bridge peice is my favorite. My only crit is some of your pencil work could use some more contrast.

My biggest problem right now is working with the digital stuff, that and oil paints.

I'm looking forwar to more!

[character]

hey man. just thought i'd stop by and say hi. you've got some awesome stuff here. i've loving your colours ~ /drool =) look forward to some more posts! POST I SAY!! POST!!!

[Jokisalo]

Madoliane: thanks man, i just think it gonna take a while -_-
blam: thanks man, really appreciated that you visited! :)
HugeHarHar: yeah i agree with you, should use more contrast in my pencil sketches.
character: thanks a lot for dropping by man. nice colors eh?? thought those were boring -_-

[Pesmerga]

How dare you call this a "sketch book"? This is a master book that should've been banned by the elder gods 5000 years ago!

In other words: great stuff, keep it up.


I can't wait to see more >:D

[Jokisalo]

Pesmerga: thanks a lot mate X)
arrr i should get time and draw!!!

[t.m0]

Terve ;)

looking good. I especially like the drawing you took your avatar from... did you use any reference there? The shading of the left girl on your (now) 5th pic is really smooth ;)

keep up the good job.

terveisiä.t

[Jokisalo]

t.m0: thanks man. no i didn't use reference pics at all, couldn't find any good.
uptade!!! some shitties, some oldies..

[jetpack42]

great stuff dude, you should update more often! lookin forward to seeing those oils.

[kaaZ]

I appreciate how you manage to put in great atmosphere in your pieces...especialy those first four pieces...Great work...
I'm not to keen on the last two pieces in the first post though...think it's the clean look that borthers me....they just don't seem as interresting as the others...overall I'm quite impressed...
cheers!

[JoshuaTheJames]

Hey man things are looking good. Just keep pushing the accuracy of those drawings!!!!

-Joshua James

[Capprotti]

Wow man, I'm really liking your stuff. Everything has a really great sense of mood. But I gotta tell you, the idea of what you've got to come is even more exciting. I see so much potential in your work, you are gonna kick major ass. For real. Keep it up!!!

Mike

[cotron]

really nice stuff you got in here, though when you are working without ref, your shadows tend to flatten out. your color choices are all pretty nice... keep posting!

[Ilja Murometz]

Man, are you really 16? I cant believe that. :frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated:
Makes me a bit jealous. Digital stuff is just amazing and pencil is great too,
ink looks fantastic. GREAT ideas. Please give me some tips in my DailySB.

[Elastic]

thanks a lot for your comment :wink:
-are you 16?..he..man, just keep it up and practise anatomy
and everything is going to be juuust fine lol
I really like the girl sitting on the chair, looks like
she's looking at her own state of mind
also like the page with 3 people, but you need to
work on your feet I think, hands are better but they
look insecure too
:wink: keep posting

[Jokisalo]

jetpack42: thanks
kaaZ: i appreciate your honesty, thanks man
JOSHUATHEJAMES: thanks a lot for dropping by, yeah i should, but damn i'm lazy -_- :D
Capprotti: are you honest? :D thanks a lot pal!
cotron: well now i know what i need to study :) i appreciate that! thanks a lot.
Ilja Murometz: yup. thanks :blahblah:
Elastic: yup i'm 16 and been drawing now 2 years. Yeah i know problems related to my feets and hands, need to study those a lot more!!!! thanks for comments ;)

[Groover McNab]

Some cool stuff here. It looks like you have a good eye for colors and composition. At times the faces look a little flat, but I'm sure you'll figure this out eventually. This stuff is really very impressive for someone so young. I wish I had stuff like this when I was 16 *sigh* Damn kids!

Hehe, just kidding. Keep it up. Lots of potential here.

[S.C. Watson]

Jokisalo, you've got some very, very good work here. I was very impressed with more than one of your pieces! Keep up the good work!

Cheers,
~Oreg.

[Jokisalo]

Groover McNab: thanks for crits helped me alot to see what i need to study more!
Oregano: thanks mate, keep your stuff up too, love your pieces :)

little shitty uptade.. busy at the moment... -_-

selfportraits
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/sketchbook/selfportraitsS.gif

shitty oils -_-,, sorry for bad guality.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/sketchbook/oil1.gif

[vigostar]

Very stylized work here man.. very good stuff... your def. gonna make a niche for yourself in the art world...

[Jokisalo]

vigostar: dunno 'bout that but thanks pal. :)

[cburt]

i really like your 4th and 5th images in your first post. the snow image is really nice and has a real mood and atmosphere. the characters mix really well with that atmosphere as well. in the fifth image, of the faces, your shadows are looking reallly nice and soft. they've got a lot of volume to them and they seem very natural. some of your pencil sketches are looking great, but i think you should go into them more. get more gestural with your marks and go to town on them. it seems like you want to fill the pages up with marks which is great, so maybe just pushing some more contrast through hatching into the pages will do the trick. i dunno, just some thoughts, but overall, this is some good looking stuff
-cburt

[emilpaun]

16?

Jokisalo, let me take a bow :) Beautiful stuff

[prostate sunrise]

good shit man. and at 16? keep it up, you got a good start here, and good environment to work in and share. keep posting.

[Jokisalo]

cburt: thanks for tipps i appreciate it!
KR33P: haha 16 indeed :D:D:D still a child -_-
prostate sunrise: thanks cake!


more oils.. i like only the colors in these pieces.

[rodrigo!]

looking pretty hot so far man keep at it!!

[Jokisalo]

rodrigo!: haha love your avatar it suits you ;D;;D;DD

[JadeDragon]

Im diggin the new updates, man!

You have a great knack for interesting subject matter, it's like every piece has a backstory there waiting to be told. Love the bent over hell hag, I think I've met her here in Los Angeles!

And I really like the strong color choices in the new painted Girl In Chair Facing Away. Nice! :)

Great job, Jokisalo!

[geki]

Some great stuffs here
You just need to draw and post more :P
Sometimes I find your sketches too clean... Maybe you can try the dirty sketches with more liberty :)

[cburt]

yea man, those reds in the floral section of the first painting are looking really nice, super vibrant. i agree that the colors are probably the best part of the pieces but in being the best part, they're looking really good. you might try applying some of those bright colors to some of your grittier concepts to really throw some contrast into the mix. cool stuff
-cburt

[thirdeye]

Nice stuff here :)

You still need to have some more practice but you already show a lot of potential. Work some more on your pencils before you move on to colors. The las t few oils are very nice - especially the last one - with the girl.

I'm throwing *** for now but I'll be glad to give you more in the future.

Keep it up! (I'll be watching you :) )

[Ilja Murometz]

Maaaaan, I really love the blue in the lower right corner of the last post.
Colourwork is ausumn, pencils are good to as I see you have some beautiful ideas, but still there is, especially at pencils, something that could be improved. Your lineart is really beautiful, but I would like to see some finished pencil art, like the asian girls portrait, which imo is the best drawing i have seen from you.

[Teea]

OW! someone hit me with a baseball bat and woke me up, leaving me dazzled and in disbelief...Your work is inspiring and amazingly well done. Keep up the good work!
...
Mukavaa nähdä suomalaisia *kumartaa*..eipä meitä kovin monta täälläpäin käy :bounce: jään odottelemaan innolla uutta satsia kuvia. Nähdään!

[Jokisalo]

JadeDragon: thanks man, the sitting girl was comissioned work.. first piece i got paid of :)
geki: yeah dirtynes, should do that i like it myself.. just trying out styles where i feel myself comfortable..
cburt: thanks for advice man, really appreciate it man!
thirdeye: thanks a lot mate, just really love colors <3<3 you've got some new hot stuff too ;)
Ilja Murometz: thanks.. yeah should do more finished pieces, im just too lazy you know ;/ keep yourself up too with your good stuff!
Teea: hehe kiitoksia.. kiva nähdä muitakin suomalaisia <3

[FuT]

Very good, especially your last post, third one rocks!!! You have made an amazing progress......waiting for more =)

[S.C. Watson]

The one thing that really strikes me about your work is your use of colour, and your development of mood in your pieces.

MORE! :bashful:

Cheers,
~Oreg.

EDIT:
and I'm TOTALLY diggin' this action:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/sketchbook/page2.gif

[teyekanik]

Hey, you got some great stuff here J. Shows some great improvement all the way thru. One thing I'd recommend is working on the structure of your subjects faces... maybe buy a model skull and draw it and study it over and over... Other than that I really like it man, keep posting.

[Jokisalo]

FuT: thanks man ;)
teyekanik: I really appreciate your tips pal, thanks for those!
Oregano: I love ya man! this is for you!

Found this old piece.. watercolors mmm... love 'em
i know there is a lot out of everything but did this only thinking of idea.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/page16.gif

Quicks trying to figure out proportions of eyes.. still a lot to go (-_-`)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/page15.gif

[Zebz]

Just gets better and better! Keep up the studies man! I like how this thread's movin'. You like watercolors, huh? I've never really used 'em too much. But ti seems difficult as crap to get what you want outta them. You seem to work pretty well with them though! :confident

One crit on the eye studies, I've been concerning myself a bit with the face as well lately. Something to remember is that the eye itself is just a sphere about the size of a golf ball. Think piece of latex with a slit in it and then think of how it would look as you pushed the golf ball against it more and more. It would start to look like an eye on the other side. The eye is wrapped with flesh. The top eye lid sort of wraps over the bottom one at the far corner as well. Maybe this will help you viusalize it better. I'm still struggling myself but this way of thinking has helped. Hope it does the same for you!

Keep it up!

[Icey]

you are jumping too fast into shadding - the same mistake i make all the time.. Your anatomy shape isn't that good! - try to get refference to everything you do! You're going better with the head, but the rest of the boddy is left behind, and that's not good..

good luck ahead! :)

[cotron]

hope you have a good holiday, keep up the good work. thanks for the card :perv:

[S.C. Watson]

cool schtuff, man! Happy Holidays! :teeth:

Cheers,
~Oreg.

[Jokisalo]

ZebzFree: Thanks fella, yeah watercolors can be very beatiful in right hands.. i just need those hands ;_;
Icey: Oh man you opened my eyes O_O thanks for that!
cotron: Thanks pal.
Oregano: Thanks oreg!!! :bashful:


Quick inks on paper.. ahh that paper didn't like my ink at all XP

[warlock1234]

i really like how your work turns out in the end...it looks like you work your 2-d work straight into digital...keep it up...works very well for you...definetly going to sig this thread...your color variations are great... >:D

[gil]

Dude!!!

Your stuff rocks... the snow scene with the orange eyed soldiers is simply marvelous! <3
It does seem some sketches are considerably better then others and your constantly improving...
your strongest suite is definitely in color and mood which in my opinion are the most crucial as they contribute the most to feel and story

keep it up!

[Nike]

hi!
really enjoyed looking at your work, great stuff!
Keep the good work :)

[cburt]

hey man, was strollin around and stopped back into your post, and man, that last character design looks really solid. i think your color choices are really working for the design, and the technique is nice too. i'd also like to say your hand studies are lookin really good as well, looks like you're understanding the angles that the bones take in each of the fingers, which can be really tough. as for your eye studies, keep em up, thats tough shit to do, but don't treat em that way. go into those eyes like you did with the hands: loose and gestural. it seems like you tightened up to get the structural view of the eyes, but in doing that, you lost a lot of the life that the eyes give us. our natural instincts as humans are to look into the eyes of our opposites because that is where the most sign of life is present, so gesture is gonna push the life and movement in them. anyway, lookin good, seeing some awesome improvements. glad i checked back in.
-cburt

[dadamafia]

really diggin ur stuff. keep posting.

[Jokisalo]

warlock1234: Thankies
gil: Yeah i'm improving all the time so some of the sketches sucks and some ones less :)
Nike: Thanks pal.
cburt: Always nice to read your comments. Thanks a lot!! I know, i should do more stuff with that loose style.. I'm working on it ;)
dadamafia: Thanks man

I'm improving because of you guys. Thanks for your comments and time you waist looking at my shitties ;)
Would be great to gain more critters and comments. Thanks a lot!!

[van]

Wow. Really liking this thread, too. I keep missing some good ones. Great improvement throughout. More?!

[Inkfish]

Varmat ja selkeät linjat, tykkäilen kovasti :)

[ArtbyWard]

Wow I'm digging this. Especially your last design. Very solid, very Castlevania meets Final Fantasy, which equals coolness. Looking forward for more.

[Icey]

The last one looks so much better :)
Nice colours too!

[Keepiru]

Whoa, How have I missed this thread? Your stuff is great, man. Those inks are amazingly energetic. I feel like your fast stuff has a lot more life to it than your more finished drawings and paintings, ESPECIALLY some of those quick digital paintings, they are freaking AMAZING. Its always hard to step back from something and let it just be what it is, but with those you really hit the nail on the head. Nice work!
-Keeps

[rodrigo!]

looking good man some of these are just damn cool keep it up aye!!

[Jokisalo]

van: thanks man, i hope i can upload more pics soon, just too busy with the school XP

Inkfish: kiitosta, samoin sulle hienoa työtä, meillä näköjään samat anatomian kirjat käytössä ;)

IceMoon: thanks puddy.

Icey: thanks

Keepiru: yeah you are right man, trying to keep my stuff quick :)

rodrigo!: same goes to you man!!!

weak?
I really like that last ones!
keep them coming! :)

[Jokisalo]

Nike: thanks puddy, there's some spots i like and others i don't. I think that guy ruined whole pic :P

[HEROIC]

Jokisalo- man, u've got a cool sketchbook. i like ur digitlas the most. some fantacy style. cool.

and your anatomy is great, when i see your works, i feel im far far away from drawing, down there. Not even close.

Phew,, les see what i can draw during Exam time. haha.

[TjiggoTjurring]

Some great stuff man.. Really like the 4th one in the first row of pictures in your first post, the two first portraits in the pic with four women and the battle scene in one of your later posts.. I feel like the quality of your sketshes vary very much.. Some are great and some are not on the same level.. No problem though, keep practicing and try doing some more studies of faces and anatomy to really feel secure about proportions and stuff like that so you can get all your pictures to the same high level.. Once again, great stuff man! keep it up.. Peace!

[pvpham]

Great work! Go the hand rendering! And I really like the colourful one a few images below that. Keep pumping em out.

Phillip

[afklamer]

Hey there, you know its already hard to take that there are so many skiller here, they make you feel lazy and ungifted. But there is something thats way worse : skiller younger than me =D. Just keep practicing, and make me feel a little more lazy ^^

[Sam256]

I think this was already expatiated, but 16 :canadian: !! WTF
I was doing stickman back then (not seriously, but comparable to stickman)

Keep on posting!

[Jokisalo]

HEROIC: Thanks pal, dun think my anatomy is good. I have a lot to learn ;_;

TjiggoTjurring: Thanks a lot of your tips man! I always need those more to remember push harder on my stuff. Thanks

pvpham: Thanks

Nagasch: Man i have the same feel -_- it sucks doesn't it? Haha, i dun think at all i'm better than you man :) keep pushing too pal!

[brkofdon]

you definetly have something in you thats progressing into something very powerfull!! there are bits n pieces of your sketches and paintings that i really love! push it further!!

[ReAkshun]

Man, I wish Photoshop and wacoms were around when...

(nostalgic moment...shakes head)

That hand you did was incredibly rendered! That was dope! You're on to something there.
This last piece, I wouldn't worry about proportions...it looks fine becuz there's no anatomical references to say what's in proportion and what isn't. imo.

Rant:
Dude, we're all lazy...becuz we think our "talent" is going to take us over the top.
But, sooner or later, when u see cats your age passing you up like a Ferrari on the 110, then it's like, "Well, maybe I should put in some time...learn this...that."

It's obvious you can draw, now attack your weaknesses. If you don't correct them now...they'll become bad habits later. I'm STILL trying to shake a few my damnself.

anyways, nuthin you haven't heard before. Keep being you and we'll all enjoy your progress.

[liam.c]

hehe yah like your man says abve mate get the foundation done now .. really learn it an know it dont wait for 10 years and suddly say shit man i should try this or that .. all the stuff people say you should do u know waht im talking about jsut do it and blow the doors of some shit haha

hey!

nice updates! I exspecially like the first of your recently posted envies...and that ink stuff on that brownish paper - looking forwards to seeing more! :)

[Jokisalo]

Nike: Thanks a lot fella :bashful:

[Odds]

Everything here blows my mind! :D
I especially like your male characters/faces, for sure.. I think I like those pronounced shadows more than the softer highlights/shadows. Anyways, keep up the good work.

[Siobhan]

I'm diggin your thread. You have that realistic touch to your work. I love just getting absorbed in the details. I see that same love in your drawing. I would say more but I am pressed for time(grumble grumble) but it's all good man. My fav has to be the tattered samurai. Thanks for chekin out my thread. I'll pop back in later---Keep on keepin on---Sio

[King Odessa]

Thanks for replying to my work. I love your use of color on your landscapes the blue is the perfect hue for that kind of time and weather damn! Youv'e got some impressive work here I would like to see more of ink and brush work Your gesture and form is right on. Good work lets see some more

[Sam256]

first of all: I like what I see. Especially the ol' dusty-rusty look of some pieces. (the samurai with the moon is especially one of those)

Are those all digitals?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/sketchbook/page36.gif

Inspire me some more. :confident

[EDIT]

now the crits:

I don't get it...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/sketchbook/page31.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/page32.gif

seems like these two have been drawn by completly different persons. Most of your work is pretty well in proportions and perspective, but the left picture shows lack of that. How do you proceed when you draw? Or do you mostly draw from reference and if it comes to drawing from mind you get problems?

[mengde]

wow, you stuff is really good, way better than mine and your younger than me. im jealous :er:

[Icey]

Your last update looks just great! The samurai is great! really speaks for itself! ;) And i love the colours and the tones you are usyng for the digital sketches!

[maxetormer]

Hi there I really like the way you handle your colors
and you desing sence has a nice natural quality,
the thing that bothers me is that you should be doing
more anatomy studies, and I dont mean just coping photos
of nude people but instead try to understand how the
form feels, imagine your are scupling with your pencil,
I can see that in most of your sketchs you tend to not pay
to much attencion to the cheek bones per example, that makes
your faces to look kinda flat:

page26 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/page26.gif)

This a good example, you gave some line quality and deep to the
nose and eyes, but you forgot to try to give some form to
the cheeks, this are some threads you might find usefull:

Ummm..what maxetormer said, hehe. ;) Sreiously, if you put effort into learning those things, your work will be solid as hell. I like your style. Push it further!!

[Ryu]

Heya,
some very good stuff, but indeed, sometime very inequal...
You should try to work a little your anatomy, beginning with the face, which is quite simple, then try to have landmarks for the body.
I recomment mentler thread for the 5 eyes wide skull anat,
and loomis for landmarks within anatomy.

I'll be watching ya, i really like when you get loose, which are the times you get a lot more accurate :) Art is a funny thing huh ? ;)

Wow, so Jokisalo your another one of Ca org's talented and more important driven artist! I looked over your sketchbook and I was amazed from page one to page two their is a great improvement, Your digital sketches especially show a lot of work you have some nice oils as well but you don't seem to have the same level of comfort w/ oils keep practicing. Keep doing anatomy sketches they might be boring and take time but will help you imensly also Go the Extra mile! don't be lazy it happens to all of us we say well i see how this pic could look better or i should get reference for this ... but I'm already tired/ halfway done... don't just go the extra mile if proportions are off start over use a lightbox, double check everything the old adage "if something looks off in a drawing then it is, even if you don't know what" which means don't leave it like that. Well that's my rant keep drawing and posting I'll see you around campus !

[maxetormer]

Hey nice going, Im glad I was of some help, the 1st page
has the strogest drawigns, Im glad to see your staring
to do anatomy studies, I know they can be VERY hard some
times, but their are very necesary, belive me, the earlier you
starting doing them the faster, you will be able to
focus on bringing to life your ideas, (dont forget to
check out how the cheek bones work, the last
one looks a bit flat,) well that is all for now
see ya later!! and keep it UP!!!! :painting: :painting: :^^:

continue to work that anatomy and bam! we'll all find our heads severly blown off :)

[maxetormer]

Hi there, I like yer new works specialy this one
page18 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/sketchbook/page18.jpg)
ther is sumting in the stylization of the faces that I just dig :D

sum critics:
On todays update, in the first one I like the mood and the
pallete is nice, but I think you need to work more
on you stroke economy, think of the lesser number
for brush strokes you would need to depic form and
avoid getting cought up in detail early to prevent that
dirty looking effect.

On the snow storm the barbarian is a bit dificult to
find, bt then again he is in an heavy storm so visibilty would
be very little, Im not sure about the colors I know
that in this kinda of eviro, things go very monocromatic
but ading sum variation on the color temp could give a better
sence of deep, perhaps lowering the saturation of color in
the moutains that are futher away?, some how I like more
the eairly pencil sketch, Im dont why but the snow
it aint working %100 It might me just me tho; take a look
at this image made by Niveb It migth inspire you out:

wolfdonesmall (http://www.nivbed.com/images/wolfdonesmall.jpg)

(I look at others peoples work all the time for answers
when I cant get sumthing right :dur: perhaps it will help you too)

Overall you doing REALLY good, just keep practicing
and dont forget your anatomy he he >:D

[Jokisalo]

maxetormer: thanks, yeah indeed max, need to work a lot more on trokes. sometimes i just feel so lazy i do bout 5min then i give up and go right to details -_- yeah i'm trying to get rid of that bad bad habit. that scene pic, it gonna be a lot bigger sized, and what comes to colors i haven't decited color for it, i have different one on my hard drive. yes i should blur those mountains that it could get the right feel to it :) thanks for advice! And i'm looking at other people's works every day, it's just i get bit debressed 'bout it, everyone are so good :/ ohh well need to draw a lot more...

[Sam256]

I really like the last sketches on that brown paper. The poses are coming along nicely and have some life to them.

Your color work needs more volume. Try to clearly determine the light source(s).
You are mostly using complementary colors for shades and lights, that way it looks interesting but pretty flat. If you want to intend that, then it's ok, but you should do some color studies (still life, looking at master paintings, ...) to understand color and light.

Keep it up.

[prostate sunrise]

cool work bro. but i must admit i dont really like the snow storm thingy. I do like the original drawing but the blues are too blue, and even though it is hard to see in a storm, the pics dont really convey that. its more, messy then anthing else. maybe adding a some depth to the pic would help punch it out a little more.

i really enjoy you're flower creature, and some of those sketchbook pages with the ink washes are really cool and fun to look at. keep it up!

[Jokisalo]

Sam256: man you are totally right, gonna study some masters.. need to work soooo much more!! thanks pal.

prostate sunrise: thanks for your advice prost.. thanks :)

holy crap! these last ones show lots of progress man.

your going places man, keep it up

[Malavon Despana]

Haa~ !!!
At long last I got my arse 'ere and a chance to comment on your artwork, Mikko, you sleazy old goat !!!

Truly I love your way of drawing; the ever-differing styles, color usage, perspectives, all the aspects and the whole entity of them all.
I cannot even begin to imagine what is going on in your mind (that I so have infested with utter insanity, HAH!) when you begin to draw. Such a grand world of visions you must have, I'll wager !

Your work indeed has inspired me alot as I have tried to change my very own style into something else, though it seems that it all has been in vain, for everything still looks the same as always, by their style at least that is :D .
But you have great ideas always, one more reason to bow before thee!

Seeing new posts and artwork from you truly sets me in flames and makes me crave to draw more, draw something different and colourfull.

Your latest portrait is a plain masterpiece. Truly seeing that convinces me the most that you indeed have been working and dedicating for your very own art for a long, long time. Thus it has come to be that you have attained a great visual eye and your endless studies have been rewarded! There's no way I can express in words how much I adore your dedication.
You'll be the next Jason Manley, mark my words! :D

Can't critique any of your art, it's just too damn good, believe that, you goat :D ! Keep it up Mikko!

scold and whip me more and force me to draw untill I die of exhaustion, pal !!!

- I bow before thee and wish to say my thanks for thee to support us in our module as well. Without you it would be dull! -

[Tigermilk]

:)jok man listen 17 ! first happy birth day second dont stop <i dont think you will > you keep going the way you are and you gnna do really well man .every thing looks great imo . like prostate said give a shot at a little more depth in the guys pics . shoot for a little atmosphric behind them to give its some flavor .. like in the screen shots . the stuff in the way back becuse of the dust/vapor kinda makes the tones closer to eachotehr <less contrast > you can even throw in some shapes as suggestions and keep them muted for a little bit of a feel where the cha is at type flavor .try it out it miight bump them up a little bit .< i see ya doing it in some might jsut wanna play with muteing the back ground little mroe or .. in degrees so you end up with a front middle and back ground

i think your really rockin and the studies look great .every thing your doing is cool in its own right .
happy bday agean mate!

[Tigermilk]

Awsome man!
It's a fine update, liked that you coloured the munk.
Hum, I tip would be to study hands a bit tho, some of the hands on one off the last character designs looked a bit of. Just a personal opinion, tho.

You keep on rocking now!

[Malavon Despana]

Damn you Mikko, must you be so undisputedly good with your superior drawing skills! Haa~ , only if I would possess such magnitude of color-visions as well.

You show so much improvement and your style varies alot, which makes you great visual person.

Eventhough you never take my comments seriosly, but laugh straight at my face :D , try to be more confident nonetheless ;) . I don't mean that you should be complacent, no hahah, but you should trust more to what you have created, for they are absolute treat to the eyes, I tell you!!

Your human forms and shapes also are really lively and smooth, I like them very much, not to mention the looks and gestures of many figures. Awesome indeed.

And lastly, you foul creature of the dark, I updated some of my so called art as you so requested :D .

Keep drawing lad, you are God-sent !!

~ Happy birthday on my behalf as well, youngling :P.

[Mindflaw]

You got quite the thread here. I like the design of the necklace... clean lines nice pattern...the points makes it look in some way lethal

[IanE]

Howdy Mikko!

It's been some time!

April 25th's update is just awesome. Great work, man. Good anatomy studies from today although I think the shoulders are too narrow. Always good stuff from you, man.

Keep it up and happy really late birthday!

[liam.c]

!! keep going like this man ! its working )studies showing great progress !paintings looking great and anatomy really really improved !

[Zebz]

The paintings are looking really nice as Liam said. I also love the anatomy work. What are you using for reference? That's one thing I want to kick up a notch in my work this summer, anatomy practice. Plus I have an anatamy drawing class next semester so I'd like to polish up a little before I dive into that one. There's so much I've yet to learn. :rolleyes: Great progress tho, man. I'll be looking forward to more of those paints!

[Tigermilk]

So great man! <3

Hey, 'bout the book with landscape and green sky, it's very beautiful, looks profesionall. I just wondered how u did it, have u painted the whole book and everything, ya? Or how did ya do?

Nice updates, loved the gesture stuff, keep it up!

Tiger

[Jokisalo]

liam.c: has has thanks a lot man!
ZebzFree: I've always been also curious about what people uses for ref.. I myself don't like using fotos, not yet. For deep studys i use masters works, i have this great book called Anatomy for the artist by Jeno Barcsay http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1586631748.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg
and for quick and more like body language than accuracy i use comics.
Tigermilk: Thanks a lot man, for the cover i cheated a bit :bashful: used couple of photos, my sketch and painted all over of them.

Lets start this page with some shit!
Been sick now about 2 weeks -_-.. of course i've been in school but after that i haven't had much strenght to do much.
couple shitty digis for mod, and quick designs for bigger school work, and the anatomy study that i did about 1min each and after that i lost my strenght.

[Malavon Despana]

Once again mind blowing drawings and paintings, Jokisalo !!

A treat to the eyes they all are. The potential of your coloring is increasing all the time, I just love it all. Every study shows improvement and the paintings are getting more complex. Your last design work is very intriguing and a fun add to your concept work. Scenery, muscles, human shape, it's all getting better on you and you'll just become something awesome in no time.
Much improvement, much everything, you are plain awesome!!

Keep it up and have more confidence, the only shit there is, is in your arse, not here!! Ha ha har :D !

[Jokisalo]

Malavon Despana: Har har thanks a lot man.. gonna be over your place soon.
Painted a bit then got bored.. Creature wasnt worth of painting..

[Jokisalo]

Sems: Thanks a lot, you've got very good sketchbook! Keep it up.

Ohh well.. this first one has a lot of broblems but still there is parts i like. It was nice to do some bigger for a change.

[IanE]

Good to see these updates, Mikko! Those paintings you did recently are looking great, especially the girl on the left of your row of works.

Really like the feel to the new brown work you did, don't know what else to call it, sorry haha. Very good feel to it but I think the girl's eye seems too open and cold, like a wax figure more than a girl, you know? Plus the pointy curve on the wing of her nose adds to that rigid effect. Great progress though, man, keep it up!

Check back in on you soon.

Ian

[maxetormer]

Sup man!! really nice upates, your evolving fast and good!,
I like the color scheme of the first portait of the second row
on the previous dump, really belivable skin tones good use
of secondary ligths, the decorative desings are a delitgh to
the eyes I wish I have such good eye for ornaments as you,
I specialy like this one:

page70 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/sketchbook/page70.jpg)

critics & nick pikcs:

I still fell you need to takle your construccion more, Its
a dam tedious thing some times, but belive me, once you
start to see the inner structure of faces all becomes much easier,
for example, in this last one:

page73 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/sketchbook/page73.jpg)

the lips on full profile are usually smaller they should not go
past the line of the eye (in most cases).

your are still having problems alingning your eyes as well,:

page67 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/sketchbook/page67.jpg)

(thats something I strugle with a lot as well he he :^^;: )

use kevins chen studies as guide or loomis,
dont copy their stuff, make interpretation of their
drawings; you will see that you learn a whole lot
by doing that, duuude!! youv got all the stuff to become
the painter you want to be, now get cracked and go
make sum drawings :D Keep IT UP!!!! and draw daily no
matter what! :yayca:

[Tigermilk]

Your latest update is gooold! Very nice colouring and pencil control. :)
Id say it's just for you to draw and draw now, the rest will come automaticly.

Keep on doing what yao doin'.

[Malavon Despana]

Yaaauuuu~ . Awesome updates, Jokisalo !! Sadistic, to me more precise, for my eyes are almost melting in their sockets as I gaze upon your newly created stuff.

First of all, the use of your colors are gaining new dimensions again, they are becoming more subtle and clean. You envisioned very well my ideas for those of my portraits, I just got to love your reissues of them to my death :D . Also the rest of your own are mind blowing. Though the eyes of the first girl of the second row, as much as the cheek's shape, are rather odd, but they are not that much of consequence.

The emblem is very clean and has great decorative art put in it, I like the patterns in it.

The bigger picture shows yet again the magnificense of your multidimensional way of thinking and implementing such works always sets me aflame. You've captured the mood and everything so well in it, it is both tranquil as it is somewhat ominous picture. As if the picture told many stories simultaneously, sadness, hate, peace, impending doom.... you are just plain awesome with your pictures. And the style by which you have drawn the woman is very nice, it doesn't need to resemble that much of reality but the shape, the hair does your style alot of the overall feel.

Great action poses as well, make some complete work of action filled concepts too, I would be most eager to see your characters taking the shape, color and be within the swirls of action.

Keep it up, lad. Flame out the pencils !!!

[Jokisalo]

IanE: She should be blind but oh well.. Thanks man

maxetormer: Man but you have good eye for ornaments just thrust yourself, and thanks a lot for tips man. I think i know now what i need to bush further and how. I appreciate your time. Thanks

Tigermilk: Thanks :)

Malavon Despana: You old goat, luv ya man :yayca:

Some heads, need to do these loomis studys a lot more. I just fond out how much fun studying can be and it's worth it!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/sketchbook/page74.jpg

[Rebecca]

Wow this stuff is very inspirational indeed. love to see more <3

[Jokisalo]

Just woke up, did quick studys while my girlfriend was still sleeping.
Could do anything good today oh well,, better than nothing.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/sketchbook/page77.jpg

[Malavon Despana]

The head invasion has been set in motion, flee for your lives!

I like the grinning expressions and every one of your studies, they look good and authentic. Though I prefer to see complete works rather than studies, but these will suffice to tickle my fancies, ahehe ;) .

You have adapted studying very well and are soon becoming more adept at it. I am sure those will help you alot, keep up the good work, pal.

[Jokisalo]

Malavon Despana: Thanks for your support man. Keep studying yourself too.

Quick portrait for mod i did at 4.00 am :D, face bugs i know. Maby fixing it later. Skin is part i like in it, trying to keep these portraits simply. Focusing mainly only on face 'cos we've got so much to do with mod.

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1586631748.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg[/IMG]
i have this book 2, but i think shara simblet's anatomy for the artist book is better
drowing after pictures sometimes helps more..

[Jokisalo]

Icey: Havent readed never shara simblet's book but you are right a bout that anatomy book that i own. Aint so good :/

Had bad day,, could really do anything so greated this speedy harrr jarr...

Some pencils.. just a quickies
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/sketchbook/page82.jpg

[maxetormer]

Looking at your lastest portraits I can see you have learning a lot
in the past few days, and I think its due the studies youv done
lately; the eyes on this last ones look much MUCH better as far
as aligment goes, actually all of you face fetures aligment has
improved a great deal,

Nick Pick:
I sugesst you to focus a bit more on the plane breaks on the part here
the nose meets the eye, that area looks a bit undefined on you work and
this takes away form the volumen on that area, other than that, shit man!!
your doing awesome, and improving at the speed of light!!

:D :painting: :painting: :painting:

[Jokisalo]

maxetormer: thanks a lot pal. gotta do studys more. also a lot more anatomy..

I'm such a lazy poster.. well here we are with some shit i've done past weeks.

[OleOlsen]

hey....
you got some very good skills. i really like the cg paintings, and the inkings are well done, too. i definitley need to do more cg paintings. i would suggest that you could do more poses.....?!?
greetz!

[Gloominati]

These paintings are really good. In some of them I do actually miss that certain something, an eyechatcher, but I guess that this will come with more prectise, so draw,paint,draw,paint! You're doin good, keep at it!

[Jokisalo]

OleOlsen: Thanks a lot man.. yeah you are definetely right, gotta do a LOT more poses.. hmhmhm.. i'm such a lazy ass :D
Gloominati: True that, i gotta do those paints for our mod and i'm not fastest painter so i use time to get everything more right than getting them look cool.. i know thats bad but oh well.. i need to study a lot more to create some great art!

sclupy idea and lil warm up..

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Jokisalo/sketchbook/page93.jpg

quick idea sketch while my girlfriend was sleeping.

Last girl is gold man!
Like you'r little doodles too. :)
btw, am I seeing some Justin sweet influence at the black and white digital`?
In any case, a nice pic.

Keep at it!

[Jokisalo]

tigermilk thanks for drobbing by.. yeah definetely pal! love his stuff. looking his works all the time, over and over again.. ahh if i could be as good as he is..

[Fellah.]

Hehe just keep working hard (very hard hehe) and you will end up being better than him. And yes that is a really nice pic. Keep it up dude! :^^:

[Sam256]

Your sketchbook is showing allot improvement with anatomy and colors. But I miss life studies. It's always good to draw from reality. Doubel check your works for errors and if something is off, erase it and start again.

Keep up the good work!

[Onis M.]

Just happened to notice that you're finnish... /Hmm.

Actually, I agree with Sam 256. Your drawings are all very good, but I think you should draw more from real life. Maybe just really fast sketches of things. And maybe... think about more what kind of lines you do - I think a little more loose lines would look really good with your style (just an opinion, though). I also like the fact that you really practise and study things, for example the heads that you have on this page. Very nice to look at them...

Hopefully I'll see more soon. :grandpa:

[Malavon Despana]

I...uff...need...hrngh....more...phuh....actionpoi nts!

What the Hell, Jokisalo you mad artist! Truly inspiring and insane updates, so vert artistic and stylish. I just can't even begin to imagine where you draw all those ideas for the colors and what not.

Once again you outdid me on the Elven Queen, praises to you, for that was more than I could ever ask for my own visions for it, hahah. Nice to see also some other than fantasy stuff again, you really can strech your skills to any direction, eh? That's good.

The smiling girl truly is something utterly new and a one more jump onwards for you!! Jesus Mary of Joseph, will you not ever cease to amaze us!?!? There's something in the eyes that doesn't look right, or then it's just me, but it matters not, for the whole picture is just plain awesome.

Great to see so much new stuff here, truly. Flame out some more stuff, pal!!!
Thumbs up fer ya

[Jokisalo]

Fellah.: Thanks a lot dude :)
Sam256: You are right man, working on mod right now so i'm quite busy right now, but sure gotta do those lifestudys.. And those things can be very stresfull at times -_-
Onis M.: Thanks a lot for drobbing by.. Are you finnish also? Gotta try relax and loose up my lines too, but i think it comes with the time when you are drawn for ages.. But ill try, good advices, thanks mate!
Malavon Despana: You old furry goat, can i lick your milkie?!? Thanks a lot for your kind words.. Stop wigling and start uptading your thread you old faget!

From a loooong time again.. been busy with the mod, yes we are doing it and doing it with fast!! you'll see some pics that i've done for mod so far..
I quess i'll uptade this thread very often in future as we are going to put our first beta online,, hopefully soon enough.. so far it's keeping busy and as i am lazy poster i wont post everything that i've done for this projeckt.. And that could spoil also sum' things of our mod.

[Tigermilk]

Great improvment my friend, keep it going!

[Delmar]

Man, this is really good. :D ...your usage of color is in most cases very confident ( ..I still have so much problems with that...ok,now I´m depressed:dead:).....

Keep up the great work :D

Splendid shit my friend :) you sure improved since the last time I checked.

Very inspiring thread. Keep delivering the goods :confident

Haven't been here for a while - glad to see you're still kickin' asses :)

[Mikko Voipio]

Nice to see a fellow finlander here. Awesome stuff. Congrats on winning the Pelit-lehti prize. Did you become a millionaire?

[Malavon Despana]

'Tis about a time I beat you up with some replies and compliments, pal!

Since we trade most the compliments in real time working together, side by side with The Moonlight Path project, I don't realise to carry my support and adorement here. Well, not it's a damn time to do so! Though it will be nothing new for you, but anyway shows that I am still around ;) .

It's a tremendously amazing work you've done with the loadingscreens and first and foremost your new portraits. Much has improved again and you are reaching AGAIN towards the divine. Portrait by portrait you show more improvement and a new side of yourself, not to mention the cutscene art people ought to see here soon ;) .

We learn alot from eachother, oh hell yes we do, and 'tis more than just a pleasure in working with you. Before I write a novel out of this reply, again, I'll conclude it here.

Keep up coloring, drawing and living, else I resurrect you and beat you to death again, Ha-HAA! We adore everything you do, no matter if you don't like them yourself. Think upon that...

[Jokisalo]

auto_matt: Thanks a lot man! Keep drawing and you'll drop all of us balls later for sure!

mentler: Thanks man, yeah i need to study a lot more, esspecially anatomy!

OleOlsen: Thanks mate, noup only 2d, i wish i could some 3d

Tigermilk: Thanks! noup i didn't no need to pay yet, i have to improve a lot until i can ask some money for my work.

Delmar: Thanks man!

Pesmerga: Has has, i need to draw a lot more!! that damn school just takes my energy -_-

Bubstar: Oh man thanks a lot! :yayca:

mr. Point: hehe kiitos :)

thirdeye: Thanks mate, same goes to you!

Placeboast: Thanks man! HAHA I wish I could have.. They just gave me a manga comic :P

Malavon Despana: Oh whats up you furry goat!? Thanks a lot for your sweet thoughts ;) It was great to see you while back a go!
Just that sleeping on your cat's furr, it was hell!! when i woke up on morning i looked like asian :D my damn eyes just didn't like your cat's furr at all! But otherwise than that it was like f*king FUN! We had so much good time, didn't we ;)
