Really nice studies dude - keep going

[OLSEN]

Keep doing those studies, you're on the right track! The last two character designs are looking good too, they're quite original.

[Flaskpost]

Haha, For the love of Moses. :madchef:
Looking really great mate! Some major progress you´re doing. The life studies are really helpful, and looking good to! Keep it up!

[Eytan]

Thankyou AndrewLey, Olsen, and FlaskPost, you have no idea how much it means to me that I'm getting feedback.

I decided I need some more work on my characters and humans and all that, so heres a couple pics until I can find my damn digicam and photograph my larger work:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/quicksketch/magegegege.jpg
This is my concept for a different kind of mage. Instead of using a staff or wand, he's enchanted these giant bracers/gauntlets.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/quicksketch/fb8898b5.jpg
And some digital work (painted with a mouse...need a friggin tablet...) It's just a close up of his face that I reworked and I hope to color. Still need to finish it

[Eytan]

Woo... sorry for lack of updates im so friggin busy these days, I'd love to have more time to draw, I need it! :yayca:

anyway touched up that pic quite a bit, and started coloring, I really liked it so now I have a new icon, woo!

Feed Me Feedback. I Hunger. :devil:

[guggemmaneuver]

the stuff you are applying to college with is looking pretty sweet... love the still lives. on a whole much better than the rest. keep working, you'll get better in no time --- though... uhhh.... I thought you said there were going to be marshmallows?!!?!?!? I love marshmallows!

joel

[pennington]

haha yah where's the mallows?! thanks for the comment. i like your all your latest stuff a lot! especially the guy on #12 and inspiration. really thourough. it's tilted about 2 degrees clockwize though.
did you get a tablet or still using a mouse? i thinks the second one is better because it is less sketchy those marks in the first one are too random and don't help to describe the form. the rock on bottom left of the first one is great tho, real strong. i thingk if you put that one on the second pic and toned it down to match the rest in hue and vibrancy. and clean up the left most rock with it's scribbles. those are really good by the way.

[Orozc0]

nice stuff. I really like the last design, very trippy and love the ink work. I also like the still life with the skulls, good use of core shadowing.

[katsgod]

Nice work..I like your shading.

[Knowledge]

Your pen bursting at the seams with everything you love to draw is easily my fave. Loads of great contrasting line values and tone teamed with a real zest of activity.

Although your life drawings are well toned they still seem a bit stiff on the page. I think it might be because when you've drew them you've used an outline and then drew to the outline. The result is that they look a bit cut out and stuck on with nice sharp outlines and varying tonal values everywhere else. This is very familiar to me because I used to do the same thing at school as well! What I suggest doing is using a light pencil to draw a three dimensional representation of your object and then you can build your tonal values across the whole of the object at the same time rather than working your way up/across.

Hope you can post some stuff more regularly in future and I'll look out for it.

[gmags]

Nice sketches there Quick_Sketch. I really like that "Inspiration" piece. Keep it up bro. :teeth:

[koshime]

awesome studies mate. Keep thos estudies comign. you're really improving in your values whcih i can see is having an immediate effect on your character development/sketches

[Eytan]

WOW YOU GUYS ROCK! 7 COMMENTS!

Thankyou all sooooo much. It is so great to get some feedback and comments, it really helps me boost my confidence and now I'm drawing more! Keep them coming!

Guggenmaneuver- Thanks alot, I really liked them too. I applied to Otis today with those and some more. And about those marshmallows...
http://www.thegreendoorsweetshop.co.uk/shop/images/products/cnv0350.jpg
I got em in all colors! You'll have to share tho.

Pennington- thanks so much! I fixed the drawing (i think) and yes I did get a tablet finally, a nice one too. I'll definately rework those rocks.

Orozc0- thanks alot, dude. I was going for something trippy and something that just flowed.

Katsgod- thankyou, man.

Knowledge- thanks alot, I like that one alot too. I see what you are talking about, there was always something i couldn't put my finger on that bothered me about some of my stuff. I think you hit it right on the head.

Gmags- thankyou, I'll try!

Koshime- thanks alot, thanks for dropping by to comment!

yes. the mallows! woot! thanks for the crit. i've been thinking a lot about lines lately. your paints are lookin good too. your values are getting real good too. can't crit much. :teeth:

[Eytan]

Thanks alot pennington, I usually have trouble with paints. This ones dedicated to you, I know its really not obvious, but its a pull down mask on a hinge thing, not a visor:

and a quickie colored version

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/quicksketch/maskcolor.jpg

[gmags]

Nice colors on your latest piece there Quick_Sketch! Your progressing nicely dude. Keep on truckin bro! :teeth:

[Knowledge]

Yeah, I'm liking the bust painting with tempra. Its great because you don't seem so concerned with the clearness of the your line. But in after thought There might not even be anything too apparent about the starkness of lines if you put them against something other than a white backdrop.

When you draw a line remember it is definitely going to cause a shadow of some sort somewhere. The shadows give every individual line depth. You're shadows seems a bit clear cut and so your bust is really refreshing because it totally shows what kind of stuff we're going to see you doing in future.

[ammoburger]

Hey Eytan. I'm especially impressed with your still lifes. You make the opacity of the glass look very accurate, keep up the good work, I see great improvements throughout this thread. BTW thanks for stopping by my sketchbook! Hope to see you soon.

[pennington]

hey! sorry i didn't come back here for a while. thanks a lot for dedicating a great piece to me! only you should post more!

[Eytan]

Thanks for all the feedback guys, I know i never update, bad me!

yeah nice buggy! and the environment rocks, well the composition is a bit bland but the values and hatching and ships are real cool. the still life is great too. you really have improved.

[Eytan]

Hey everybody! Just came back from my senoir trip in Israel for 3 weeks, 'twas awesome. Israel's a really beautiful country, and i wish i had more time to draw there, my schedule was kinda packed, but here ya go:

[Xaya]

Great progress quick_Sketch!!

What i could say is:
Go on with that still life sketches
do some anatomic studies (you heard of loomis?) if you wanna progress the same way like with you objects

About that apple, the bottom is great but the upper part shows some mistakes in shading (although it is possible that such kind of apple exist)
but do a b/w shot and see the right values!!

Go on, you are on the right way!

Xaya

[Eytan]

Thanks for the comment Xaya, I'm pretty sure you're right about that apple, then again it was made outta plastic so who knows. Yes...anatomy is my enemy, but I start taking a figure drawing class on the 6th so I will post all my drawings no doubt.

I got inspired by some of Marko Djurdjevic and Wes' pictures so I sat down and did some heads with some cool costumes, I rather like them:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/quicksketch/heads.jpg

C&C as always is encouraged

[ammoburger]

That Pear in post #5 second image is F'ing leet! And i like those faces in the last post, great variety. Keep it up!

[Listing]

Nice fruit and I like the confidence in your concept art. This is Miles from VAI.

[RNS]

Your still life with the apple, pear and pencil is really impressive. I like the black shading under the objects, its very dramatic and it catches the eye. Its obvious you spent some time on this. Your concept work are pretty fun, too.

[ammoburger]

I'll let you have me.

[Eytan]

Hey there guys, I know I havn't posted in a while, and I'm sorry to all 2 of you who actually visit this thread. I've been taking figure drawing class and a painting class and I will post images of my painitng as soon as i can (its 50 by 60 inches :) )

Ammoburger- Thanks dude! I think so too. Where have you been? Havn't seen you in a year!
Miles- Thanks, hey look I updated!
RNS- you are too kind, thanks for the support

[Eytan]

Oh man I'm really kind of angry with my self.

So I started doing a character every day starting on monday so that I would get used to designing things quickl. That character above was the first one and tonight was guy #2, which started out awesome and then I fucked him up, see for yourself.
the start:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/quicksketch/brrrr.jpg
and then i overdid everything and it sucks:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/quicksketch/brrrr001.jpg

either way ill be updating tomorrow night with character #3

:(

[Listing]

Your concept work is becoming so much more coherent and readable. Line quality improving similarly. I don't want to seem a Greg but do many more portrait and figure studies from masters or life. Try copying a single portrait a number of times and then reassembling from memory without the reference. Really push yourself to naturalize your forms (I don't know too much about developing as a concept artist but I'd think that you'd have to work to convert any fine arts understanding into stock structural seeing). Experiment with the relationship.

[Eytan]

hey there guys,

thanks for the comment Miles, I really appreciate it, I'll see if I can try doing that sometime soon.

anyway as promised, daily character #3, tried to do something different, but ended up doing the same old. A million and a half problems with this onem but who cares.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/quicksketch/girl.jpg

some gestures from illustrations 2 brazillion points if you can guess which artists drawings theyre from.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/quicksketch/gestures.jpg

[Moysturfurmer]

EYTOOON!
Nice gestures and such, but way to flake out on your daily character thing.

Kick some ass at OTIS for me.

[Listing]

I'm sure you're busy at Otis but be sure to update with that work when you have some downtime.

[Eytan]

Hey guys sorry for the lame lack of updates, heres just a pinch of stuff

1: HUGE Life drawing
2: 10 min
3: 1 hour portrait study
4 - 9: 1 minute gestures
10: Ideas for toy design in my illustration class, the assignment is angels and demons
11: Self portrait sorta looks like me
12: T-shirt idea for in class contest, i was one of the 4 people to get tshirts silk screened and made woohoo

[@work]

You got a nice sb here. Your drawing shows a great deal of improvement. I think the 1 minute gestures are very good. There's a lot of motion in them and they are very expressive. You're on the right track, keep it up and keep sharing your work with us !

[Listing]

Great improvement Akon. Your forms are becoming really solid. Funny how Otis has you drawing robots before flesh. selfportrait looks like you, too. I feel that watercolor gives you a very good sense of color (as you have to make things work, no correction like oil or plastering like acrylic). Use it for anything (still life and portrait first off, I'd say). However, use it loosely. I prefer quick work but some rendered wash drawings are good foundation (I have to be doing these). I've been painting at home and VAI (you should recognize the sculptures in the last watercolor). Visit.

[animosapien]

dear 'quick sketch'

nice site.
keep sketching and thanx a lot for commenting on my sketches.!:rendered:

[Flaskpost]

Very nice gesture drawings! And that balloon ship kicks ass. :D
No crits from me.
Oh, and btw, you need to make toys!

[Eytan]

Hey guys thankyou so very much for the feedback, I really mean it, it's so encouraging, keep it coming!

@work- Thankyou, I'll keep trying

Miles- Cool man, it's good to hear. I tried some watercolor and I have concluded I must use it more often, it's really tough to get a handle on, but I'll try. I wanna visit VAi so badly, you guys there this monday? (it's Eytan by the way)

animosapien- thankya! thanks for stoppin by

Flaskpost- hahaha thats always good to hear, just curious why do you think i should make toys?

The latest batch:

1:Church towers from life
2 and 3: enviros from my head
4: crappy doodle
5: Buncha extremely quick thumbs, ideas for composition from my head obviously
6: Figure drawing I kinda like, he actually was holding a katana, i swear

[Flaskpost]

These! =)

I´d buy one for sure!
The thumbnails are great man, i wanna see some finished paintings or drawings from some of them! :)
Keep it up!

[Eytan]

Hello again,

Flaskpost- ahhh yes, I see. Thanks! I tried to develop one of the thumbs and it looks like turd. Oh well.

here you are

[Eytan]

horrible HORRIBLE self portraits, trying to capture a likeness in only 20 minutes, its VERY HARD argh!

enjoy i guess

[Jens]

mayby you should try using more organic shapes for those selfportraits, I mean you're blocking in this geometric structure, and while the head can be simplified in these easy shapes in reality it's more complex. Look in the mirror and try finding one straight line in your face. Just keep those shapes in the back of your head while drawing, and don't draw anything unless you see it.

Of course they mayby teaching it this way at your school :) Then I'll shut up :D

[Eytan]

i hear ya jens, thanks for the feedback

ahh your gestures kill me. they're so nice. and this (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=94678&stc=1&d=1171613334) is awesome. for the sp's you have the gesture and proportions and perspective down pat, but you're not getting the actual shape. try getting the gesture down and then draw the contour i mean just the edges. glad you're posting more.

[gmags]

Great improvements Quick_Sketch!!! Really like those enviro drawings!! Your sp are also lookin good. Keep up the good work bro and thanx for the comment! :)

[Flaskpost]

Jens nailed it!
The creature looks good, man! Where´s the rest of it? :)

[Mr.Lyon]

great stuff man. the progression is SO noticeable. keep goin!

[Eytan]

OMFG PAGE 2

Wow awesome. Thankyou all for the support

pennington- thankyou my man, glad you like that Li'l guy. I'm liking my gestures lately aswell. I see what your saying about the SP's, they're really difficult for me

gmags- thanks man, I've been trying to do alot more of that stuff

Flaskpost- hah thanks, who knows. I kind of gave up on him, don't really most of it, but im glad you do

Mr.Lyon- thanks alot, thanks for stopping by

2. quick coloring
3. inspired by Salaryman
4. Quick sketch (hah!) of some sort of door
5. revamped it with correct perspective, don't like it as much
6. little environment thumbs

[pennington]

whoa dude major improvements :) great lifedrawing and perspective work. nice enviros too. hey maybe try using big brushes to fill in stuff like that. even though they are quick sketches i think it would help ?

[AvatarJimmy]

Lots of improvement in this thread. Perspective looks solid and the line quality on your latest character is top notch. Keep up the good work.

[Eytan]

You guys rock!

Pennington- dude, you're awesome, you always give these great crits and you keep em coming, can't thank you enough

AvatarJimmy- Heya thanks for stopping by, you are too kind!

You can never have too many marshmallows......

Awesome progress, dude. Way to draw.

[BryanYoung]

You're stuff is progressing nicely. Keep up the hard work. Thanks for stopping by my sketchbook. Take care :)

[Listing]

Definite improvement. Lines are becoming very smooth and fine. Watch your proportions though, you tend to shorten.

[Eytan]

[Eytan]

Hey everybody, long time no update, been busy with school. Heres some of the stuff i did over this semester, hope you enjoy!

Some characters, some landscapes, some sketchpages and some storyboards

yum :yum:

[Eytan]

i dont have a scanner at the moment so i will have to put my sketchbook pages in later.

for now heres a little sneak at a WIP
-enjoy

[KelsM]

That last big post is great! I particularly like the turtle character pencil drawing. It has lots of nice flow to it. All of the other stuff is good too, I can see a lot of progression in your skills. Keep going!

[Eytan]

thanks KelsM, i really like this guy too

tinier update:

[Eytan]

Worked a lil more on the face and background + drapery

could use some C and C i say

[Eytan]

worked a lil more on turtle dude and did like a 30 minute painting to unwind

enjoy

[thirdeye]

I think that you gave his neck too much texture - too many deep wrinkles, each with the same set of shadows and glowing parts. You should maybe unify parts of it to make other parts pop out :) Anyway - interesting creature and the progress looks good so far :)

[Eytan]

Thanks Thirdeye! I definitely wouldn't have noticed that. Wish I saw your comment sooner. I'll have to fix that for the next update.

Worked a lil more on getting the fabric to look better. Hooray for custom brushes.

enjoy

[Jakers]

Ok firstly...I went from your July, to your Dec. post thinking...is this the same persons work?? haha. in those months you have gotten marginally better.

What did you study mostly at the school your attending? I love the latest characters. One thing thats looking funny to me is the shell - it looks so round, but not attached to his body. Look at how much of his back we can see under his front arm. I wonder if showing how it attaches would look more proper? Nice light sources though. Hmmm I may have also given him a different stomach, different texture/color than the rest of him in some way? now that your back, keep posting sir

[Farvus]

With every update it looks like your level of skill is on another higher step. All the studies definately pay off. I like this alien head sketch.
My only suggestion would be to pay more attention to variety of line thickness in perspective drawings. Thin lines for smaller deitails, lighter/more delicate objects, further objects, light side. Thicker lines for general shapes, heavier and closer objects, shadow side, accents. These all are guidelines but might help in making pic look more 3d and interesting.

Keep it up!

[Eytan]

Heya everybody, sorry for the delay. Some more work on el turtle, sketchbook pages coming soon!

Jakers- thanks for the encouragement, though i hope you know marginally means in the least bit, =D . Yeah your crit said what i was thinking, decided to nix the shell, and add turtle like armor. Hope that works. Right now im a sophomore at Otis College Of Art and Design, studying in the field of digital media which is basically anything needed to make a movie or a game art-wise; concept art (which is what im doing), motion grahics, 3d modeling, 3d & 2d animation, and visual fx. Its an amazing program, and its the sole reason i'm going to otis. I highly recommend it.

Farvus- Thankyou man, thats a great suggestion. I like that alien head too. keep them crits coming!


THINGS TO WORK ON:

Neck wrinkles

Consistent red light source

Fabric on the closer arm

Redesigning the Sword

Hands

Pants

Background

[Nui_Znkoku_Chisoku]

Dude, you have an insane talent for drawing animals, and for creating those creature pics. i personally think you should do more of those creature pics. keep it up man you are a god! :P

[pennington]

yo, crazy creatures. you've really been working hard and it's paying off. the turtle is really well-rendered and you're thinking about the form and light sources. learning a lot from that.

[Eytan]

hey worked on him just the tiniest bit at school. worked more on the armour and just started designing the sword.

Nui_Znkoku_Chisoku- thank you, i really like doing these animal elders, maybe ill do a whole series. I'm no god however, just browse this site for 10 minutes and you'll see the real gods at work

pennington- thanks dude im real excited about this guy. hes like at 50% right now, cant wait to see what the finished version looks like. thanks for stopping by

enjoy

[Eytan]

Just doodles for today
:lifedrawing:

[Eytan]

some concepts for a childrens book

ill update with more monsters soon

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/quicksketch/storybook/imaginaryfriendscopy.jpg

[Eytan]

update:

:mod:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/quicksketch/storybook/imaginaryfriendspainted-1.jpg

[Eytan]

still workin on this guy, maybe one day he'll actually be finished

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/quicksketch/step11-1.jpg


by the way does anyone know why it keeps not displaying my attached image? it just posts it as a link, I had to go back to the old skool method of photobucket. anyone else having this problem?

[Eytan]

so my hard drive crashed, and it had this turtle dude on it....

the only version i have saved is from like 4 hours previous. I'll try to repair the flash drive with this program called Disk Warrior. But if that doesn't look good it's gonna mean alot more catching up. At least I have a jpg of the most recent version, so i know what i need to do. I just gotta do it.

anyway i'll keep at it.

:carnifex:

[Eytan]

just a teensy update enjoy

[Lalilulelo]

Nice stuff, I like your anthro creatures, especially the turtle, because I have a soft spot for turtles.

[B-Man]

Damn Ive been a member as long as you and still I havnt posted an reply in your SB. THhis last enviro is simple and nice. I need to get my thumb out of my ass and start painting enviros. :) I like the reptile dude and also the concepts for the childrens book, they look neat!
For crits I would sugest you took a look at the reptiles jacket it hangs really strange around his right arm. And also it looks as if it disapears into his armpit the way it folds around his breast muscel. Good luck with the piece!
Cheers man!
Mahalo!

[Eytan]

my latest painting, I promise to upload more work when I'm not so friggin busy

[Jakers]

Woh bloody sweet update! I would say make the closest forearm a bit larger, and give him a bit more emotion in his face - I did a character recently that could have had a lot more presence if he had more expression attention (woh wasnt that catchy!). The way he is holding onto his weapon with his right arm feels quite weak...rotate it more and have more of the fingers visible?

[yehuda]

Hey man,
Sweet ape. Maybe if you tilted his weapon one way or the other a little. Now it looks kind of like he's presenting it to me. Really digging the fur and the face. I'm not about to mess with that monkey.

[D@niel]

Hey man nice stuff, realy dig those cartoony style ones!:)

[Eytan]

Hey all, heres my portfolio as of now with some Works In Progress near the end, hope you enjoy!

Jakers- great comment, is it still a problem? if so I can tweak it even more.

yehuda- hmmm maybe. I dont know what im doing with like 75 percent of him just yet, we'll see. Thanks for stopping by.

D@niel- thanks man, those were from a kids book i did for an assignment, the book wasnt so hot, but i love the style aswell.

:yayca: :yayca: :yayca:

[wildforge]

dude, when you finish the character your doing the thumbnails for, you should comp it all into a progression from start to finish and post it, it'd look sick :)

[Eytan]

Still tinkering with this one, about 15% done I'd say. Added some more room on either side to kind of widen the shot out. Trying to find the line between vibrant and gloomy. More to come!

Enjoy

[Jamesy]

You have a great imagination and it's nice to see so much progress over the few years that you've been posting. Keep it up!

[Eytan]

[Eytan]

medicine shop interior (wip)

thoughts?

[gian]

yo yo, badass work man!! especially lovin that interior!

[Jackwhat]

Really impressive range of stuff here man, youve kinda shown the way a bit and exposed some areas that im seriously lacking in!

In your environments and things how much are you using photo overlays and things? - I ask this more out of curiosity as you get a lot of nice noise going on and thats something I think I could do with in my failed environments. And more of a personal preference when it comes to presentation i think your images would look better if they were say 3/4 their current size... as they do an awesome job of capturing the atmosphere with the forms / shapes but sometimes the actual detail is lacking.

Anyway, less chitter chatter, ive gotta start filling in the blanks and catching the fuck up! Keep rocking out with the good shit.

[Oranje Joe]

WOW

the progress on just this one page is amazing and inspiring!

i live the way you handle environments and depth!

those beached ships are really powerful to me

and i love the interior, but i have to wonder, did you use one of your mountain paintings as the outside?

[KonnA]

Dude, your level of progression, stunned me. My mouth actually opened. I love page 4!

[Jorge Gecov]

The last page is full of great stuff. Killer enviros!

[EpicKey]

love your work! O_O awesome awesome awesome!

[p sage]

Amazing progress. You seem to make huge jumps in progress every time you go away and come back. That happened at least five times in your book... every time was a major upgrade. You're doing exceptional work now.

Very inspiring. Sub & +5*

[lennon]

Subscribing!

[obier]

awesome environments.Keep doing them!
