Jane's sketchbook!!!

[JaneM]

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting here at Conceptart, and having thought through this, I think this is the right place for me to start. Please redirect me if I got it all wrong... :S
I have a few sketches I thought I'd post, there will hopefully be more later. ;)

Starting with an 'old' piece; from March this year. Manga inspired.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/littlemask.jpg

Following up with a coloured sketch, pencil and watercolours. Made this summer, I think it was in July. It's a quick concept for a medieval story I write, this is the owner of the Inn: 'The Silver Mantle'.

Nice start Jane :) Keep updating :D

[JaneM]

Ok, a bit more. :)

I won't say good start, cause you're obviously atleast semi-pro
in the field of art. I will look forward to your future posts.

[shyamshriram]

Keep posting Jane :)

[JaneM]

Thanks for your comments everyone. :) However, I'm not a pro, you will surely notice.
Two very quick ones, coloured with watercolours.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/face1.jpg

I think I need to do more structure practicing.

[Qxzi]

Good update for just quick ones:D, keep on postin!

[madplanet]

I like your quick sketches, JaneM. Keep them coming.

[JaneM]

Thanks again, people. :)

Ok, two faces. Quickly drawn, as usual.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/face4.jpg

And now, (you guessed it) a quick anatomy studie. Quite un accurate I must say, I really need to do more serious studies... :(

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/anatomy.jpg

This one, it's supposed to be a young girl... I should also study women's anatomy more. I'm not very good at it yet. Hope you people have a few tips to give me on that... :\

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/youngwoman.jpg

[seth1]

Hey jane, very nice studys i must say! I really enjoy that old mad in your 1st post! Reminds me of a little kid opening his presents at x-mas, So happy! Nice anatomy study, keep on doing them, you will get addicted dont stop....

[Farvus]

Actually those last two anatomy studies came out great. The girl could have longer neck unless this is view from above and some parts of the body are hidden.
Hope to see more studies.

[JaneM]

Update again.
First off, some foot studies I did. Reference are taken from 'Anatomy for the artist', drawings. I know though, using your own foot is probably better. Either way, I learned from it, though I can see flaws on the feet.

[Jtoons]

hey there. nice studies, and great characters, not to mention wonderful use of unsaturated colours. your stuff is great, but i would like to see some saturated colours, i think yuo could do some amazing stuff with a bright pallate. cheers. keep updating

[reBirth]

Nice...Very nice indeed, I really enjoyed looking, and cant wait to see some more. You have a very interesting style, very soft and traditional feeling
Keep going

SOme very good stuff. You have a great imagination. There is a nice fluidity in the action lines here:

Cat human (pencil and watercolours) :

Cool updates.....keep posting !
looking forward to see some detailed studies from u :)

[jtheanswer]

Hey, dig in yr studies! Which mangas or animes do you like? I am big anime fan as well. :rendered:

[JaneM]

Thank you people, again, for leaving your comments.
Shyamshriram: Yeah, I try to dive into the world of detailed studies... But it goes slow, so I'll post when I've gathered up a few. I look forward to it too. ;)
Jtheanswer: You got the PM. :)

Ok, time for some more.

Here's a quick experiment with acrylic colours, not much focus on the face itself. That's why it's so out of proportion.

Practicing painting fur with acrylics, done for a school task:

Some faces. Oops, I see the eyes on the top guy are not on line... I should have constructed the ehads more first.

[silentkitty]

Nice stuff, you have a good sense of personality in all of your head studies, I like that. :) Looking forward to seeing more.

[JaneM]

Since this is partly a speedpaint, I post it in my sketchbook as well. ;) You can find it (with more detailed description) in the Critique center.

[JaneM]

Now, I tried to draw my hands. There are many flaws on them, but this is the only way to improve. I used pencil on a rough, dark paper.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/Study1Large.gif

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/Study2.jpg

[Zord]

Nice hand and feet Jane! The rendering and line work on them is good. One crit, on some of the sketches of characters, the eyes tend to be too big. It makes the faces seem a little flat. I see no problems other then that. Cheers!

[JaneM]

More. :)

Those two were made with Wacom and Painter Classic. The first one is supposed to be a balloon head. I wasn't very consequent with the lighting though... :(
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/Balloon.jpg

The second was a quick practice with light and shadow, and the colour in it. The headcloth is way too small...
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/Arabfirelight.jpg

[Fellah.]

Nice stuff going on here! I really like the rough pencil line work! They have a great feel to them. Keep it up!

[rewind]

i like it! wheee!

[jtheanswer]

The second pic is nice, but dont know if shadings are correct or not. Your hand studies arent bad at all.

Keep it up.

[van]

Jane! Very cool stuff. I love the warmth in the last one. Good choice of colors.

[Panda89]

great stuff jane! i didnt know you also draw manga style!
cool =)

[JaneM]

Inspired by Prince of Persia, the games, but it's not the prince.
I know about the stomach's anatomy, and the ribs, but it's so fun to draw... I must get better at drawing and studying how it looks in real life, not only the way it's fun to draw.

[Rookie80]

Wow, very cool Artworks, I like your stile you paint

[JaneM]

A simple little drawing of a character me and my firends developed over several years. His name is Zoariack, though we just call him Zoar. However, this character was put on ice 3-4 years ago, but he's still fun to draw from time to time.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/Zoar.jpg

And again, thank you everyone who take your time to take a look at my sketchbook. :^^:

[JaneM]

Three pencil sketches inspired by Josè Perez Montero's illustrations for the Childrens' Bible. I used some of his drawings as reference for clothing and style, and partly for some of the poses.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/Jesus1.jpg

[JaneM]

And now, a portrait of some guy. I used no reference for him, just imagination. After a while, I got lazy and didn't care to finish the hair. Neither did I colour the background or take care of the face's outlines.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/Maninprofile.jpg

[Visceral 619]

Hey Jane,

the last few posts are great, keep it up.

Peace.

[JaneM]

Hmm, I should add this as well. It's a speedpaint, where I wanted to picture the story Jesus told about the son who was lost and found. However, I don't feel this simple speedpaint is worthy of telling that story, when I know I can do better. I post it, but I might do a more serious attempt later.
For a notice: The hair hangs over the son's cheek, but it really does look like that's the cheek's outlines... Making him look more of a monkey than a man... Oh well. :/

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/Thesonfound.jpg

[fooxoo]

Janne!! you have stuff here I havent seen before. Very nice anatomy, esp hand/feet studies. Love it!!! :teeth:

[shyamshriram]

For a notice: The hair hangs over the son's cheek, but it really does look like that's the cheek's outlines... Making him look more of a monkey than a man... Oh well. :/
LOL so true :P

Nice sketches Jane..keep them coming :yayca:

[Erilaz]

That there is some damn fine work Jane! The prince of persia concept is my favourite so far! Love your clothing studies too!

[gmags]

Nice work jane. Those hand studies are awesome. Keep em comin.:yayca:

[JaneM]

Here is a little speedpaint of Shyamshriram, which I had lots of fun with making. :D It's just a quicky, and probably full of flaws, but whatever.

Thank u Jane :^^:

[Joshawowo]

Hi, Jane. Thanks for commenting in my SB. I am REALLY enjoying your pictures here. Your digital pieces are showing a lot of skill, I can't wait to see more from you. Best of luck to you.

[JaneM]

Thank you Josh. :teeth:

Some more stuff.

This one is just a sitting guy, no one special.
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/Sittingguy.jpg

And a manga inspired drawing of some young man.
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/Yougman.jpg

[JaneM]

Update! :D
Some of the faces might have anatomical issues, like eyes that are not on line etc. But anyway, they were all of great practice to me, even if they were all drawn from imagination. Many of them were drawn with pen, (originally) blue. I'ts not everyday I use pen for my sketches, so it was fun.

I think the hat here is too small...

Here's one more, a female anatomy study done from model. It took somewhere between 10 and 30 minutes. I used chalk on rough brown paper. Thanks to Sandra for borrowing me her digital camera.

[Panda89]

nice sketches jane, but dont forget the planes to keep the volume of your drawings ;)

keep it up

[JaneM]

More studies from live model. I worked mostly with the torso, so the rest looks a little unfinished. Also, I didn't get to work with the neck / chest's muscles and bones. We didn't have forever with this one, I think 20-30 minutes. I believe that arm is too small. :/

"Gunslinger".
I used a few photos to see what the guns, the belts and the hat was supposed to look like. The rest is drawn from imagination. The theme in general was inspired by Stephen King's "The Gunslinger".

4H pencil, 0.5 HB leadpen, rubber, paper, Photoshop CS.

[JaneM]

I used some drawings from two anatomy books as reference for those.

Excellent studies, hope you remember some muscles.

Really like your characters and that you do not only stiff faces
but with different expressions, which we all should do more!

One with i see on your pastell drawing.
The length between the bellybutton of the lady and her crotch
is too short. (get some reference!)

So don´t haste your are great for your age!

xaya

[JaneM]

Thank you Xaya. Yes, I see now that there should be more space between the navel and the crotch; one headlength if I'm not mistaken.

[Pixeldragoon]

Is it just me, or is Zoar just Sephiroth with pointy ears?

Nice colored life drawings.

[JaneM]

Pixeldragoon: lol No no, but he was way too much inspired by Sephiroth. Zoar was design and developed over many years, starting, perhaps, 7-8 years ago. The process stopped for about 3 years ago. He's an old character. As the years went by, my friends and I liked the idea of Sephiroth-bangs, so, well... :/ However, he is a totally different character.

[JaneM]

Seraph the trickmaster, a person from my medieval story. He was an entertainer, or a kind of juggler if you like, who performed for his audience by juggling with swords. On his left hand, a finger is missing due to an accident with those swords.

[John T]

Nice SB. I like how you loosened up in that quick sketch #62. I'd like to see some of that find it's way into your more finished stuff. Now, I saw how the character on the previous page was compared to Sephiroth... and I can't help but draw a rather obscure FF comparison with that last character in #63... he reminds me a lot of Blank from FF9... hehe

[JaneM]

John T:
When we designed Zoariack, we didn't care if he was similar to Sephiroth. In many ways we, or at least I, wanted him to be, at least the face and the hair. We made him simply for fun, there were no plans to publish him at that time. My character designs nowadays, however, they are my attempts on making independent character designs. Yet, I am in a phaze where I try to develop my own creativity, and since I still have a long way to go, they will undoubtly get strongly influenced by my inspirational sources. I do not wish for this to happen, and I try every time to free myself from it. I know I advance a little more in the right direction for each time, and soon the designs might not be so similar to the ones I am inspired by.
So you are right, Blank was my inspiration. Over all, I drew inspiration from all the characters in FFIX, and I guess I didn't manage to free myself enough from them.

Thank you for your comment!

[mQe]

I like your anatomy sketches and the cleaner pencil drawings :)

keep on drawing :P

[John T]

Jane, I hope you know I didn't mean any malice in pointing that out, I was just joking. Of course all of us draw inspiration from outside sources, that's how we learn, and the Final Fantasy games are excellent sources. Now, if your inspiration was the cover art from Mega Man 1, then I would have a problem...

My Sketchbook (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=64254)

[JaneM]

Lol, no no! I just had to explain it, because I do feel I draw too much similarity from them. :)

Here are a few more concepts I am working on.

A centaur, drawn with pencil / leadpen and coloured with watercolours. I used a paper that was too thin for the colours, but there's little to do about that now.
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/centaur.jpg

A croco warrior, drawn with pencil and coloured with watercolours.
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/crocowarrior.jpg

And some sketches for a possible pirate design, drawn with pencil and coloured with watercolours.
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/piratesketch.jpg

[shyamshriram]

Hey lots of new work Jane ! that croco warrior is Too good LOL lovely expressions, that centaur is also nice, but his face is looking like hes wearing a mask..dont know why..maybe because its bit bigger..or maybe because of the jaw line? dont know..you r the artist...find out yourself :P
and those pirates(?) man..why they are sooo tiny? btw that second one is looks like me...not much..a bit :P

Keep posting :yayca:

[JaneM]

Shyamshriram: Thank you. Yeah, I get what you mean about the centaur's face. It could be caused by his daft boring facial expression...
The pirates are my attempt of drawing people in this 'tiny' style... Does it not work?
And about what you said of similarity here... Sandra said the first guy looked like you. The uncoloured one. :P lol

[koroshiya001]

Damn, those studies are insanely good. I reall ylike the arm from a few posts back. The painton of the girls torso and hips is really good too. What medium/size is it?

EDIT: Oh, haha. I guess it's a few posts back on the first page... I didn't even see the second one. Good stuff here too. The face on the April 19th post is great.

[Artsta]

great sketching man, i really like your anatomy studies.

[JaneM]

Koroshiya001: Thank you kindly. :) Yeah, I tend to do that too; missing the second page and commenting ond old pieces. Your comment was highly appreciated though! If you are talking about the pictures I drew from nude model reference, they were drawn with coloured chalk. I'm not accurately sure what size they were in, but they were fairly large.

Here is a speedpaint I drew and painted in Painter Classic with Wacom.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/hoodedman.jpg

[JaneM]

[shyamshriram]

Nice studies Jane..that Owl's body looking bit flat..but his head has a nice volume.
Keep up the good work !

:yayca:

[JaneM]

Hmm, yes, that is true... The body does look a bit flat. I guess I need more values; more contrast between bright and dark on the body. Perhaps more colour.

[stine]

hey there! lovely concepts in this book! i especially like the pirate in watercolor. seems to be a medium you're really comfortable with. would love to see more of that... :)

the owl is great, too. the eyes are really well done and have so much life in it. i also like the "feathery" (damn, is that a word?) look. i wouldn't say it needs more color, i think the "problem" is that the lightest spot is on the body far right. maybe just toning that down a little or placing it a bit more to the left would probably make the body feel more "round".

cheers!
stine

[JaneM]

Thank you Stine. :)
Yes, I see it now. I should fix that; move the highlight a bit more to the left. Man, I know these things... I should think more through it when I paint.

[my_mind_on_my_money]

Thank you, Shyam and gigglepixie!

Shyam: The first one in my last post, or the first one since you commented?

[shyamshriram]

The first one in ur last update Jane :|

[Halifax]

The anatomy drawing are incredible, the muscles, oh god so very good. But um... stear away from that anime, yeah I've seen a couple good ones but it's no help to you artisticly,and alway seems to come out rather distasteful. Cool stuff you got goin' here, though.

[Darktwin]

Keep up the great work, just in two pages I'm seeing great progress, keep it up, great balance between pencil and tablet, keep it coming. Can't wait to see more.

Keep drawing :)

[JERI]

Nothing wrong with having some fun playing with the style you like while you're learning I reckon. But yeah, I reckon your anime stuff can benefit from more proportion/shape studies in general.

I would suggest trying to capture more details you can see with your studies than you are doing now. I think what you did with the African and the ballet woman in #90 are good examples of good levels of detail.

[JackalAndromeda]

I'm loving all of it, but I'd really like to see some more of those hand studies. Those were lovely!

[-ThePenciler-]

I see some nice stuffs i in here!! I guess i'm goin to have to give this thread a rating. I especially like you rendered stuff. I'm not a hude fan of Manga but your doing pretty well so i guess i won't have to burn my eyeballs out,lol. Keep up the good work.

[VoodooPimp]

like your anatomy studies and some of the manga-ones.
nice lines and shapes, keep on drawing! :)

[JaneM]

Thank you, everyone! I try to improve, you know.
Halifax: Thank you. :) About the anime drawings, perhaps you are right. But I draw them in any case, because they are a lot fun to do. If they don't help me improve, they certainly don't stop me either. So, you might find some in my update now, too... :P

Others are cool too..lovely expression in the last one LOL

Keep up the good work jane !

[JaneM]

Very nice drawing style! The figure poses could use some more variation but you're working on it, i see. keep on going.

btw r u going to work more on that turban guy? looking interetsting ;)

Keep up the good work :yayca:

[JaneM]

No Shyam, I am not working more with it. It got dull... But maybe I'll do others. :)

[Danzfloor Rebel]

I love the variety of people you draw and the whole range of things that they're doing. A lot of people get stuck doing one thing.

[JERI]

Nice arm muscle study :)

I think you're on the right track with these quick figure sketches you're doing here http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/Diverse.jpg
You attempt a lot of full body drawings assuming different poses, so definitely do more of this exercise if you wanna get comfortable with the poses.

[Hyptosis]

Well this is, dare I say, awesome? Keep it up. =]

[JaneM]

Yeah, more pose training would be good for me. ;)
Thanks people. :)

This one I drew without using reference, testing my current knowledge when it comes to female anatomy. It's not that good yet, so more Loomis for me.
Isn't the head to small?

Pencil on paper:

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/womannude.jpg

[warda]

yeah, the head is a bit too small but for a non referance it's good. i like your shading

[kakapoopie]

cool, i like the pencil work and definatley whats coming out of those speedpaints. i vote more speedpaints!! anatomy studies are nice too!!

[shyamshriram]

Well...i think everything has been said about the last sketch..Nice attempt i must say :)

btw did u check her toes? both are looking almost same to me *__*

[JaneM]

Thanks, people. :)
Shyam, I didn't notice that before you said it about the toes. It looks kind of silly. :/

Oh my..a speedpaint inspired by ME ?? I'm so glad Jane :)
Looking really cool..btw how about adding few highlights and dark tones?
the sketch looking cool too..nice work on his face, expression !

[JaneM]

Yeah, more contrast would do.

[shyamshriram]

in the first one..that guy with turban (again a guy wearing a turban :p) try to draw construction lines on his face...and that last dude..i think his body looks bit twisted..keep it up Jane !
hope u wont mind about my crits :/

[JaneM]

Ok, I will try to make a better use of construction lines. I tend to forget it (forget = too lazy to use).
And I see now that the lower body and the upper body aree ach facing different directions. Man, why do I always see these things afterwards??

[shyamshriram]

its ok Jane..all we have to do is..try..
about twisted ...i mean his torso and his lower body part. hes turning his neck but his torso is going to other direction..and at the same time his lower body part is not even bothering about anything...hope that makes any sense..if u still not able to understand my language..i can show u the paintover :|

[JaneM]

I see what you mean. ;) I just have to think about it next time. You too have keen eyes... No, I guess it's quite easy to see. T_T

[Hyptosis]

great stuff, love the cute dog, and the blue pen studies, keep up the good work ^_^

[pennington]

woah. nice characters. i really like them. this one's (http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/JaneM/head001.jpg) pretty smokin' too. keep it up.

[-sideshowbob-]

cool characters :)
good anatomy studies too .. simplifying forms helps alot ;)
drawing simple geometrie is a good way to understand the orientation of objects and what direction they facing in space that is created inside your flat paper sheets :O

keeps ups ! :D

[Exocentric]

I like the figure studies and the pencil work in general a lot...it's really nice. Keep at it...the hatching is a nice look. What you're doing kind of reminds me of my own work, because I came from being primarily manga influenced, and now I have this love of concept art...I'm transitioning. Keep it up.

[JaneM]

Ok, it's time for a major update. I'll be posting this in three sections:
the sketches, the game concepts, and the um, other pieces. The better ones, compared to the sketches *gesticulates with hands*.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW !! Jane, I didnt know you are from MARS !! :P


You worked really hard it seems....good concepts...characters...poses...real nice :D
Those equipments, Maehara, anatomy studies looks hot !

Keep up the good work Miss :yayca:


p.s. I'm not sure about the naked legs in the last one..maybe u've to give him some strong legs..or you can offer him a good suit..well..maybe its just me :|

[d00dle]

u've come a long way. you have some nice works and ones with potential, but your drawing and paintin don't seem to be very consistent. I mean there's ones that really good and ones that just bad (I thought to myself why r they so different?). overall, you got some great stuffs here.

[JaneM]

Shyam: Thanks mate. :) Yeah, his leg muscles are really loose and thin, I know. But once again, I fell for the temptation of drawing bad/wrong because the shapes are fun to draw *sigh*. Oh, and I forgot to write the month's name in English. It's in Norwegian.

d00dle: They are different because I spend more time on some than on others. I still think the so called bad ones posted have some worth to them, at least enough to show. I want to show ALL of my progress, not only the good parts of it. Besides, sometimes I have reference to help me with getting the anatomy right, while other times I have to improvise. Sometimes I focus more on learning a technique than on getting pose and anatomy right, like with the two 'learning new techniques' that I posted just now. But if you could tell me which ones you think are not so good, it can be of good help to me. I always look around to improve! ;)

[Fishspawn]

Cool stuff in here. Like your studies a lot and your characters are definately improving. Keep up the good work.

[FactorZero]

nice stuff here. Post more finished/colored character designs. Your kindom hearts guy looks good, except for the legs, but you already know that. I look forward to seeing more.

[Sybo]

Nice SB, from the anatomy studies and some of the great character designs I can see you have a nice touch to your stuff. Keep refining your style, work on the faces a bit more, but you are definitely working very hard. keep it up.

[JaneM]

Here are some more anatomy studies, quick ones made with Photoshop CS 2. The reference was taken from the comics of "Conan, the barbarian".

Keep up the good work !!


:yayca:

oh yea..and HAPPY EASTER :D

[JaneM]

What do you mean? These are sketches, mostly. Not any permanent characters, most of them are drawn only for that single sketch. Please explain to me what you mean?

[shyamshriram]

oopsie..shes angry :|
yea as i said..maybe its just me..what i mean is..it could be more expressive/impressive if you could have spend more time on those ..more tight i meant..( hope it makes any sense)..just a suggestion..

[JaneM]

Oh, you mean spend more time on technically drawing them. I thought you meant spend more time to plan and develop them. Yeah, I know I don't have many impressive (worked a long time with) pieces, but I am in this huge sketch phase, you see, so... I will try to make some better pieces though. I really will.

[JaneM]

I like the way you've given attitude to the guy with big ears in post #160

the next creature looks dumb and cute at the same time..nice attempt in giving him human hand and legs :P

the lady in post #161..well..her fingers looks really nice..just that left arm looks too straight/stiff to me
maybe u could make the hip area more wider.
that cow needs more attention..especially those legs..that dog looks happy and sweet :D

Hope i didnt post too many crits :bashful:

Keep up the good work !

p.s. hope u r working on that new technique of urs ;)

[Monkeydominator]

And I was JUST reading the Norwegian edition of 'Anatomy Drawing School' myself when I began reading your thread. XD
Awesome.

Keep up the great work! I love your anatomy sketches, and you're doing great with colour. Feed us more!

[ditchman]

some nice stuff in here, i notice that the heads are quite elongated in the purely digital speed paints, (maybe this is a stylistic choice, and if so please ignore me)
this could be due to an incorrect monitor setting, i know because the same thing happened to me. to double check you should create a new canvas of square dimensions, and physically measure it on your monitor with a ruler. Mine was out by quite a bit, and now I've fixed it everything that i didn't start first on paper looks very elongated.
Now i have another problem as my young daughter has pulled a magnet around my monitor creating wierd patches of colour, but that's another story...

[JaneM]

Monkeydominator: Ah, another Norwegian! Godt å se flere nordmenn her. :) Takk for at du stakk innom!

Ditchman: Is that so? Thank you for pointing that out! I will see to it so that it betters with my next drawings. Haha, magnetic effects... :P

WOW !! so many updates...didn't check ur sketchbook since long time Jane !!
ur portrait is sweet..only one thing i can say is..try to control the light on the face..looks bit flat to me..how about adding more tones on the lit area?

[JaneM]

Shyamshriram:Honestly, I have barely updated this sketchbook at all lately. Anyway, thanks for your comment! About the picture, I am aware that there are no tones. I went straight after the picture, which was way too overexposed. :P But yeah, it looks flat. I could have imprivesed and added tones, which might have made it look better.
