[Fellah.]

The birds are fucking beautiful! Good to see pure line work too! The last female might need a bit of sexing up;) Unless she an old bat of a queen, hehe - move the boobs up abit and make her slimmer down the torso with some sweet slim curves:confident Only crit i have really - looking very good, dude!

[tensai]

i agree i want to see a sexified version of that last one. although i have to say those chimps are looking hot already...

keep it coming man.

edit - i dont think this stuff is boring man. dont put it down like that. your learning/practicing - and the precision and energy of those monkeys and hawks are really nice.

[Shinryu]

Fellah. - Thanks mate, haha, yeah she defenity does need sexing up, thanks for the crit, yeah she looks odd in places big time, cheers dude :)

tensai - haha I'll try and get something down soon, cheers, thanks man, just would like to put down more of what I want too if ya know what I mean, cheers :)

stupid doodle

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c43/Shinryu-r-/2901061.jpg

[Farvus]

Great anatomy studies. I can see that you're pushing your rendering skills to the limits :).
Sometimes this horizontal hatching on in the background is distracting from the main subject (like on the last sketch) so I suggest to be careful with it..

[Shinryu]

Farvus - cheers man, yeah gotta watch all the things like that, thanks for picking up on it, yeah that sketch is a mess, cheers :)


some stuff from today, done more but kinda shit

[Zebz]

That last guy is great. LoL Happy Birthday to HIM! ;) Your pencil work is getting stronger and stonger. Don't be afraid of contrast. Really fill some of those things out and make some of the areas really pop with dark darks and highlights. Nice work.

[tullie]

Wow, you are coming out with some great studies - the animal ones really show your diversity. Would love to see more studies and work from memory, concepts and stuff :).

[Rich Pellegrino]

beautiful bird studies. Sometimes i think you could use some more mid tones. Could be the scan but i think they are either too white or have heavy blacks.
Good work!

[Shinryu]

ZebzFree - haha, i dunno what i was doing with him... cheers man, been trying to practice more contrast, cheers for dropping in

tullie - Thanks alot :), lots of concepts soon hopefully, cheers

voodoochile - thanks, yeah trying to work oon that some more, cheers for dropping by

[glikster]

wow... beautiful pencil work...

[Chance.]

Nice stuff. Your pencil style reminds me of Alan Lee's work at times. Very cool. The bone studies are great. I am currently trying to figure out the bones and some of your stuff is very helpfull. Those darn pelvis and forearm bones are hard to figure out!!! Good stuff, I will be back again.

[Shinryu]

glikster - thanks alot glikster, cheers

Q-Caddlewick - wow, Alan Lee's work is a great influence and inspiration to me so thanks:), cheers ,those bones are studies from jeno barscays book anatomy for the artist, take a look if you see it anywhere, yeah those bones are akward, thanks for dropping by

[tensai]

those last bears and birdies look real sweet man. those form life or ref?

[Master 25 Days]

wow dude, your forms are really crisp. Liking it. I'd like to see some more conplex folds and wrinkles.

[fooxoo]

Heyy, those latest drapes look really good! Good depth and folds. Anatomy studies are coming along, good stuff, keep posting :teeth:

[Shinryu]

tensai - cheers tensai, most of the bears are from ref, and the sort of centre bird I used some ref for but the rest is from my head

Master 25 Days - Thanks alot man, I tried afew different drapery things, but messed up the t-shirt, i'll try again soon

fooxoo - cheers very much, will try


more drapery, different stuff later, try and tackle something alot different this week hopefully

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c43/Shinryu-r-/1202062.jpg

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c43/Shinryu-r-/1202061.jpg

[ChrisMayernik]

Great updates! THose drapery studies are great. Only crit is don't make the shadows so black. It would be perfectly fine if you toned the drapery lower in value so it makes sense that the shadows are black. hm... I mean it really isnt a big deal and I see your other studies are fine. I'm sure the real drawings are fine. Maybe try some with a local value so you have room for highlights. Theres a lot of white around the drawing making the contrast higher. If you could put down a even tone around the drawings then it would probaly look like how you saw it.
(rambling ) If the material is white then it's local value is higher and it takes more covering up to achieve dark accents. A very common situation is 4steps down from the light. Now you probaly know all this but maybe somebody esle who reads your sketchbook doesn't so I guess I'l keep writing. Now if I were to paint white material with 4 steps I would paint 80% white then -40% gives me core shadow value which is 40% then add 10 for reflected light.
( 0%is black - 100% is white )
so its 80 for lighted plane,
40 for shadow,
50 for reflected light,
and 85 to 100 for highlights. Now this is all very controlled but it is a framework to model what really happens and with enough knowledge of light this basic set up can become very realistic easily.

[Shinryu]

ChrisMayernik - cheers man and thanks alot for the crit, yeah I noticed when I done the first that the shadow was over done, I also usally darken the picture in ps because the scan kinda takes away some of the pencil, I'll try and give that method a try soon, see if it improves, thanks again for the crit



more of the same, gonna try some enviroments soon

another stupid doodle, more imagination sketchbook

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c43/Shinryu-r-/2302062.jpg


hopefully start updating more again

[purb36]

yo shin, what up? i like the drapery studies youve been doing lately. what kind of lighting are you using with them? like chris said, watch out for your value range that you use when doing them, cause it seems like the shadows are too dark for the range youre using. anyway, good to see you drawing more from imagination lately. the hips on the last one are really interesting (in a good way). the shoulders could be attached better, i think. whatever man, keep doing them, and youll get to be as good with them as you are with rendering. g'luck man, take care.

[tensai]

just dropping in to say i keep checking this out. love the frog man. doggie too. dont know what to crit. maybe you ought to try another medium and see how that treats you.

but dont stop doing these fine pencil renderings too though!

[Shinryu]

purb36 - hey man, cheers, its kinda from above, would have to take a picture to show it, yeah gonna try that soon, find more realism, less dark shadows, cheers for dropping in mate

tensai - cheers mate, i've been trying other mediums but not enough, want to try oils sometime, gonna try some ps sometime this week, cheers

had life drawing for the first time today the drawings were pish, dont have them and too big to scan, at it again next week though

just a mess about sketchbook page

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c43/Shinryu-r-/0303061.jpg

[purb36]

dude, show the life drawings. who cares if its not up to the level youre at with youre other stuff? thats how you get better, right? well, either way, keep drawing them, and maybe sometime youll grace us with the presence of your life drawings. the arms look good man, now do some no ref. g'luck man.

[mentler]

Good to visualize the skull underneath <> check ref to see how eye ball sets in socket.

Put up another painting after your visit to my thread big Hanging Flesh puppy

8 x 10 feet

[Shinryu]

purb36 - hey dude, I would but dont have them, i'll be there next friday and i'll see if I can use pencil instead of charcoal, cheers, i'll put some more arms up soon life and no ref


mentler - yeah looks off, trying to find good ref for it, the extra stuff added to that post was great, i'll drop in again soon


sorry for the this update, been trying not to draw the same things over and over, i'll put up more later hopefully

trying to speed up

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c43/Shinryu-r-/070306.jpg

[ruuhkis]

Nice nice nice
The animal drawings are mind-blowing and the anatomy studies look pretty good too. My suggestion is to buy a book from Gerorge Bridgman.. you can never know too much about anatomy! Good job on the values as well.
Might even vote on the better side of 4 stars. Keep it going! -d

[cw]

lovely stuff you got there.

the critters are top drawer gear, and everything else only barely less.. made my evening reading thru that :)

[tensai]

this is really really nice man. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c43/Shinryu-r-/2702061.jpg
i love how you keep it quite light and then concentrate on a couple of points to really put a lot of value down with your pencil.

[Shinryu]

cheers dudes

Doyle' - thanks alot man, yeah i've heard about Bridgman, might try and look for it, cheers for dropping in

Apocalypse_Rex - thanks very much man

tensai - cheers mate, means alot, i'll drop by your book soon

nice new arms you got here...arms out the wazoo! for fingers, remember that the distance from the first knuckle to the second knuckle is the same distance from the second knuckle to the end of the finger, and the skin webbing between the fingers is halfway between the first and 2nd knuckles. keep flippin birds on us man. ;)

[Shinryu]

purb36 - cheers dude, thanks for the help with the hands, really need it, i'll take that down later

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c43/Shinryu-r-/avatar.jpg

cheers

[purb36]

yo dude, youre getting that knowledge of anatomy down. but its more than just being able to draw it pretty...you gotta get it in your cranium (pop quiz), man. so, some drawings with ref, and some without, compare them, then draw from no-ref again with the right look in mind. i hope that will help. anyway, good to see youre taking steps out of your comfort zone; let's keep walking. take care man; cheerio. :hatsoff:

[Shinryu]

purb36 - cheers for the dump, yeah im slowly starting to do that more, cheers mate, you too

[ThabisoMhlaba]

Cool torsos mate, the one in the bottom left corner just looks a bit akward.

[purb36]

happy 19, birthday boy. :swepimp:

[mentler]

I have noticed that you are concentrating on the contours a great deal <> always remember that the inside forms create the outside contours <> always look for the overlaps to help create depth and most important of all fine the inside contour where the light and dark meet <> this is the most important contour on the figure <> this is the most important contour on the figure <> squint to separate the values and draw the inside contour just as you are drawing the outside or bounding contours.

It is the combination of the three contours that create depth and movement <> once again the inside one is the most important because it represents the closest edge to U and should be thought of first and not last.

[Shinryu]

Oki - cheers mate, yeah they all look a bit strange

purb36 - cheers dude :)

mentler - cheers for the crit mentler, really need more of them, i'll try and take it in, cheers

great sb mate, and yeah stunning snake head

[tensai]

snake is cool and delicious, profile view of the girl is well rendered but im not sure about the size/pposition of some of the features if you compare them to each other. e.g. are her eyes not too high, and forehead not too small?

keep it up man.

[ArcoNL]

Great stuff in here man! And yeah, the snake head is awesome....

[ThabisoMhlaba]

coolness keep em coming, on the 3/4 view be careful with the furthest shoulder, yours seems a bit to close in to the core of the body.

[purb36]

yo man.
snakes are good good. profile girl seems to have some parts not in proportion, but she's beautiful nonetheless. some of your people seem lopsided, like some parts are in proportion and some are out (for example, last pic from yesterday, girl at the bottom's elbows begin at different lengths, though the pose would suggest that the arms are almost at the same angle. so the elbows should be a lot closer in terms of height relative to her body). first girl on yesterday's update seems to have very long upper arms (bicep should be shorter, elbow should be higher, methinks). your anatomy's getting there, keep at it. and more imagination stuff, and take them to more full renderings too. just keep it all comin.

[Pesmerga]

Woah, nice studies. I like your sketches dude. I'll keep an eye on your sketchbook :)

[asoir]

love your rendering technique, really fine stuff. great s/b!
wouldn't mind seeing a character sometime soon ;)

[Shinryu]

Oki - cheers mate, thanks for the crit, i'll look out for it

purb36 - cheers dude, thanks for that crit, yeah really gotta look out for all the things you mentioned about the last few posts, i'll get more done soon and start rendering more again aswell, i'll drop by your thread soon

Pesmerga - cheers man!

[Immortal]

Great stuff man, good studies too. You seem to have a great grasp on shading. And you like reptiles, that's cool.

Keep crankin'

[Zaknafain]

Nice renderings. You should spend some more time on anatomic details though.

[DerMidlet]

cool stuff, I like the anatomy studies

[Shinryu]

thanks alot folks


Immortal - thanks alot man, yeah reptiles are cool, thanks for stopping in

Zaknafain - thanks and cheers for the kick, got to spend more time on the whole anatomy, try and do some more later

DerMidlet - cheers :)

Man you have some awesome pencil skills, great rendering ability, your concepts are awesome also. nice control and values also, I need to be taking notes. Keep em coming please.

[Shinryu]

Darktwin - thanks alot darktwin :)


cheap update, everything has been shit

didnt spend that long on this

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c43/Shinryu-r-/1604061.jpg

[Shinryu]

really shit past few days, sorry for lack of updates, didnt feel like it really, back to normal now hopefully

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c43/Shinryu-r-/2004061.jpg

[purb36]

yo, shin!
the last concept is nice, would love to see a turnaround on that one. figure studies are looking good; along with your anatomy study, are you studying what the muscles do as well as where they are? i think that might help you remember them better. i dunno, it helps for me at least. keep doin what you do, but also keep trying new things, cause thats the way you really expand your skills. like, i would love to see you do some still lifes with different textured materials, like some glass and metal and...i dunno, just a whole bunch of them. also, try to do more dynamic figure studies, which will help you see what is natural and what is not (for when you draw figures from imagination), as well as seeing how the mucsles change with different actions. take care bro.

[Shinryu]

purb36 - yo dude, cheers, i'll give it a go, develop it further, yeah i'll start more muscles soon, i've started doing new things still messing around though, i'll give new textures / materials soon got some college stuff to do over the next few weeks so after that or sometime i get spare i'll try, cheers man you too


lack of updates, got college stuff to do, less updates but i'll try and get some stuff done inbetween, also trying some new things, messing about really

[Pixeldragoon]

I like the fluidity of your monster portraits! Keep up the life work, I like it.
I would like to see a bit more spontaneousness in it though, lot's of straight limbs, let's see some wacked out hands or crazy punching arms or something! I believe it's harder to effectivley capture motion in something tense then in something relaxed.

KEEP IT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!!

[Shinryu]

Pixeldragoon - cheers dude, yeah I got to try more of that, more energetic sketches with more dynamic poses etc, will do


heres some quick, small, Bic life studies

[purb36]

yo shin, what up?
would love to see more of the development of the creature from the 10th, and it would be nice to see some of these quickies taken to more complete rendering. keep up the studys man; i want to see huuuuuuge growth from you.

[young paddy1]

your last posts are socktastic, I really like the rendering style, on the ship front maybe try ordinary household objects from odd angles as a starting poinnt.

[ThabisoMhlaba]

Cool stuff, haven't said anything cool creatures ^_^. I like the still life hoodies.

all stuff great as usual, but the socks pages are just something else again. :confident

you checked out some of that building ref in the wiki?
keep it up man.

[mentler]

The feet in socks is a great idea <> I always tell people to visualize the hand in a mitten and the foot in a shoe but I think the sock is better

[Shinryu]

thanks again folks

purb36 - hey dude, gonna try and develop it further soon, gonna try that too, will do, cheers

young paddy1 - cheers man, yeah that might help, i'll give it ago

Oki - cheers Oki

tensai - thanks alot dude, yeah I just checked it out great sites, i'll try studies from them sometime, cheers

beautiful line work mate! loving it.

[bhanu]

Out of the college ,
Thats great.Hopefully I wil be too someday.Oh I forgot ,I have to wait another year to get in one first.
Those studies look great.The line work is very delicate but strong.I dont know how to describe it exactly.But the hatching is something among manythins here I can learn from.
Great work again man.
Keep us updated

[Shinryu]

Sybo - thanks man

bhanu - cheers, im only out for the summer break, just started really, thanks man

nice updates man. you know, its pretty scary when you say youre only "starting" to render that skull. it looks pretty pimp to me. :swepimp:
wheres the dynamic characters and stuff man? hey, i push because i care. :bashful:

[Shinryu]

purb36 - ha ha cheers dude, i was going to try and get a something different down today, never got round to it, maybe tomorrow, thanks man

The Society of Figurative Arts upword movement program

[MoP]

Hey, just dropping by here, sig links really do work ;)

Great life studies in here, I love your line quality (sharp and confident), and the rendering seems quick, neat and accurate. Very nice.

For some reason, although I like your imaginative stuff too, the line quality and rendering on things drawn without reference seems a lot more scribbly and uncertain... maybe you're doing it on purpose, or it might just be my personal preference, but I reckon if you tightened up some of your creature sketches with the quality of linework and rendering shown in your studies, they'd end up looking even better.

Entirely your choice, though! Keep up the good work :)

Edit: Wow, yeah, just looked back at the earlier pages too - solid quality stuff there, man.
You really make me realise how much keeping regular studies can help improve your art... very inspiring.

One critique I would give (over some of the earlier images - maybe someone else mentioned it but I didn't notice when glancing through), is that sometimes you seem to give drawings a really dark outline/background just around the front of the face/body area, or sometimes all around - I'd strongly advise against, this, especially when the drawings themselves don't have much contrast or tonal range, since it really flattens the image out and distracts from all the nice detail you have going on inside. If you're gonna have dark, dark backgrounds, either extend them further than just half a centimetre, or bring the shadows in the image itself down to a matching level so they don't get washed out by the strong contrasting border.

Sorry about the waffling, cheers now! ;)

[Shinryu]

mentler - cheers

MoP - haha, yeah, good to see someone else living up in scotland posting in here :), cheers, yeah im trying to apply that more to imagination sketches, thanks alot man, alot of folks have picked up on that im trying to stop it now, sometimes I think I should put it in but instead just leaving it as lines or rendering, cheers


sorry foe lack of updates, back to normal hopefully

messed with this abit more, got more but cant scan

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c43/Shinryu-r-/0906067.jpg

[Shinryu]

trying to do more, so aint updating as much, heres some studys scanned quickly

some quick jeno ref, quick plant lines, sort of skull thing been messing about with, might try a new one, and another profile head study

[Recursive_End]

Dunno what to say. you shading looks very good and you understand pretty well you subjects. Its not very a crit, just a suggestion, it'd be cool to see how you could play around with your rendering with metal or bit more complex textures.
Anyway, keep posting !!! :)

[purb36]

yo dude.
you keep working your strengths, remember to work on your weaknesses just as hard if not even harder. else youre just making pretty pictures. g'luck man.

latest one looks like an asian mr. spock. hehe.

[Ryan DeMita]

Alot of really nice work here. I really like that you're taking the time to study from life. It takes alot of dedication. Some super interesting creatures too. I like how they're forms are very simple yet interesting to look at. You're definately headed in a good direction.

[Shinryu]

Recursive_End - cheers for dropping in, yeah tried some armour below

purb36 - your right dude, you and afew other have been saying it for a while aswell, going to change things now, haha not intended

Ryan DeMita - cheers man, thanks for the words


might be the last update for a while have to push with other things especially digital

heres something, armour just trying to do some different textures

[tensai]

its been a while since i posted here, not always do i have something to say. what i really like is how we get to see more variety of subject matter. your renderings are so delicate but when you really push those darks they still have a strength to them.

like this one for example;
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=2448&stc=1&d=1150899793

i would love to see more portraits done by you, but at the same time i hope to see this varied collection expand further.

whatever, its all good man.
keep it up.

[Nuclear]

hey dude, I really like your work.. I love your confident lines,shading & your profile sketch you made. Your a big inspiration to me :) thanks

[ndp]

Slick stuff, I really enjoy the bird studys.

[Shinryu]

tensai - cheers mate, yeah got to really expand it further, your stuffs looking great

Nuclear - cheers alot man, I thinks thats the best compliment anyone can get, thanks alot :)

Jarri - cheers dude


heres some stuff, creatures, just trying really quick rendering, and started an apple in ps, really shit but ach, got to mess about with different things alot more, rip it all apart

[asoir]

Great stuff as usual, keep at digi, with your skill you'll easily develop a great style.

[purb36]

just sayin hey. missing your updates man; where you been? post something soon, ok? :bashful:

[Shinryu]

Asoir - thanks man, I've been doing more digi, i'll put some up soon

[Shinryu]

demented - cheers mate, i'll drop in on your book soon

[Recursive_End]

Really nice rendering as always :)
The contraste on the creatures is nice.
Can't crit anything, just keep it up

[Shinryu]

Recursive_End - cheers mate :), your stuff is looking top

cheers mate

[purb36]

yo shin,
i like the rocky tower, has a kinda mars or venus-like feel to it. that last creature would be one freaky thanksgiving dinner. good to see youre working the anatomy from imagination dude; keep working it out. take care, bro.

[Shinryu]

Killer works mate!

i was just browsing SBs and found yours. you have some great pencils, i like your "shit creature" you posted on may 28th (http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c43/Shinryu-r-/2905061.jpg) the beady little eyes look great. keep it up.
-az

[ndp]

Great stuff as always. Are you drawing those girls from ref or imagination? I like the silhouette studies.

[mentler]

You are doing a beautiful job of capturing the outline or the block-in and your rendering skills are excellent <><> you are also an member of the BoneHead Nation and it does not get any better than that <> thanks for looking out for the Doctor....

[Recursive_End]

Looking very interesting =)
Good lines on the women and the skull.
The last pic is good too, simple and effective.
Keep up the good work !

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c43/Shinryu-r-/doodles.jpg

[demented]

Dude, you have one sick thread going. Fucking stunning shit, like the doc said your rendering skills are tops, are these markers (?) in this last looks great - lively and energetic, as they should be. anxious to see more mate!

ciao!


- d.

[Recursive_End]

Nice shading.
Do you start your creatures from actual animals or completly imagine them ?

[tensai]

wow really nice nudes - (dont hold those out on us man, i know you have more)
but love the black inks. its funny how they have so much while you can still see theyre yours..

would love to see some more of those man.
take care

[Shinryu]

demented - thanks alot d, yeah the bottom one is marker

Recursive_End - cheers dude, no just imagine them, got to learn some more about animal muscles so I can apply them to creatures instead of using bad habits

tensai - Thanks mate, haha yeah I'll get more up soon, more inks soon, cheers


sorry for updatating with the same sort of stuff again, last creature for a while, got to start getting more characters etc done, also picked up a burne hograth book which i've been doing studies from

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c43/Shinryu-r-/creatcon.jpg

[Fellah.]

Beautiful updates, mate! Your stuff always makes me happy:}

[oma]

Fellah. - cheers mate, means alot :)

oma - thanks oma, yeah i am, got to do more though

incolorinred - thanks man, last batch was from ref, not too long


sorry for not posting, been drawing and painting on (mainly studies) A2 / A3 and cant be bothered taking photos just now, or scanning in other stuff from past few weeks so i'll just put up some of the stuff I done through today from an A4 and A5 sketchbook, all from life, with some doodle pages, cheers

[elisa]

awesome sketches! really like the animal head in the recent post (the first sketchbook page), very nice rendered. Great work in here! Keep it up:)

[Visceral 619]

been a long time since i've seen your stuff mate, glad to see your exercising ur imagination, cool updates.

[Shinryu]

elisa - thanks elisa :)

Warground Zer0 - cheers mate

might start a new sketchbook soon, cheers to everyone who posted

[Magic Man]

Great studies and sketches - make sure you dont skimp on the tones, or if you want to lay down large areas of tone, use the broad side of the lead, better than numerous strokes of the fine tip.

Darren

[ndp]

If you do start a new sketchbook please link it in this one, thanks.

The bones and the girl's head look really nice.

[Listing]

Neat stuff. Your creatures almost look like abstracts, strange. Keep on it.

[Shinryu]

Magic Man - Thanks Magic, cheers for the crit, guilty of that alot of times

Jarri - Cheers Jarri, will do

Listing - Thanks man, will try


I'll start a new daily sketchbook over the next 2 or 3 days, recently doing college work and just more anatomy studies / doodles, all shit but going to get some stuff for a start to a new book done

ink doodle to end it, thanks to everyone for dropping in
