The entrée sketchbook - March 28th update

[Sybo]

Well, after drifting arround this site for at least a year and a half and not posting much at all, I decided it was time for me to create a sketchbook thread. Posted a few bits and pieces last year, but its time to face my fears and do this thing. I've been inspiried again and again by all the wonderful art posted here, but also by the people who's art has developed during the course of thier sketchbook thread.

and a little man in my head was jumping up and down "me too, me too"

so here is some work I've been doing over the past week or two:yayca:

Well damn, you've been busy. :p

Those horse studies are pretty nifty, I could never get horses down pat. I really like some of the more interesting poses you've done, in particular the dude with the huge ruck, and the collection of sketches of the guy getting up (sitting down?) off the swivel chair. You've got some nice value studies, too. :)

[Sybo]

ahhh, been a hectic day, cold and windy
Nice to hear from ya Lotek. The horses are done with ref of a photo, dude.

These next few are ink quickies

pretty lonely around here....:blah: feel free to comment, or anything

[Zord]

Hey man, nice filled up pages you got here. Glad you're experimenting with ink and enjoying it, keep it going! The charcoal portrait with white highlights is nice too; using just the right amounts of white. Only crit is that the eye seems flat and unrealistic. You might want to round it out a little, notice the way it fits into the socket with the folds of the eye and what not. And just a small note, some of the images are a little big, making it difficult to see the work as a whole. Maybe resizing them to be just a liiitle bit smaller would help us in seeing it without scrolling up and down. Either way dude, keep it up! And post post post. Cheers.

[Sybo]

What a day
Zord - thanks buddi, great to hear from ya. yep lookin at it now, i can see the eye has little depth.Btw, thats graphite not charcol, me and charcol never got along so well.maybe I'll try it sometime

Anyway, here are some pages from my sketchbook. They are heavily based on work from my fav artists here, Sinix and Wes2000, those guys are inspiring.
If im not supposed to put um this kinda work, so jus tell me and i'll take em down.

cnc, or any comments would be much apreciated....:tihi:

Ned- thanks for stopping by, want to see some of your art, bro, where is it?

[sorawit]

are you kidding me, some of them are good as man, especially the robot, crap, i need to catch up with my art now, lol, wow i was impressed, man u've been growing up with a very good potential in the art senses. thankyou the Grace of Jesus Christ , Halleujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and thankyou for posting or ur art works :)

[Zord]

Hey dooood, cool to see you jumping head first into acrylics. Don't worry about the outcome, as success only comes with lots of time and lots of practice. Your lines are coming along, they're more confident than before. If I can offer just one crit, the guy you colored [digitally i'm guessing] his body is a little too big. The body doesn't shrink down in size, but you can work out anatomy issues with studies and more drawing. So just keep it up man, draw draw draw, studies studies studies. Cheers.

[Sybo]

Well, here we are again. heres some work of late...had to get a new image hoster, photobucket is getting overloaded. Well, I been going through some Loomis PDFs I was recomended, and am finding them GREATLY helpful. If you havn't read them, read em.
I've done heaps of proportion work and anatomy work in my sketchbook, but dont want to bore you all, and can't be bothered scanning them...unless anyone is interested.

Zord-yup, been taking your advice buddi, draw draw draw, studies, studies, studies.cheer

[pennington]

hey thanks for the comment! you've made lots of progress yourself. likin the pen doodles all i have to say is proportions and it seem you're already on that. oh and eyes, although i'm sure you like cartoon style eyes and it fits well sith your style. it always helps to have a better understanding of real eyes. it'd be nice to see some gestures of eyes from the mirror or something. later

[Sybo]

[Magic Man]

Hello my oceanic friend, wonderful to see your progress so far, your studies are excellent and show good improvement from the first post.

One thing I will say is try to make your lines more efficient, try not to use 2 lines if one will suffice, there is a tendency for people who are still finding their drawing legs to do that. Use long clean strokes and make sure you pay attention to line weight.

Cheers, Darren.

[pennington]

wow killer studies! you've been real busy. i gotta start doing more studies too.

[bhanu]

I think your studies studies are the best peices here.Seriously.I would recommed you do more doodling of life drawing.Start dong more life drawings.One more thing, application ,apply your studies to your renders and other works.
They help a lot.
Take care and keep posting.

[Seate Macol]

My god...

I myself cannot say very much, save to say that even these are quite impressive.

It appears that I will have to go and have a good looksee at your other works.

[Sybo]

well another quick update, been playing with water colours ,its so fun...gosh.

Magic man - Hey darren, good to see a quality australian artist arround, man your sketchbook is NICE, lots of helpful comments. You're right, gotta work on my lines a lot. Its an ongoing thing innit. thnx.
pennington - Go hard bro
bhanu - yeah, gotta do more life studies. Its a good challenge to apply the studies to other work, but thats the whole piont isn't it.
Seate Macol - cheers

water colour is fun, hard, unpredictable, i love it. The paper is so expensive tho, spent 37$ NZ on 12 sheets a3. nyway...

and I'll take into account what your said about starting out by coping/referencing, cause ur the man Rusty.
:yawn: night

[Conchobhar]

Sybo! You have been busy! I love your use of media and the detail! Only thing I'd work on is your structure, but also keep up the studies because that will definitely help. You can always look up shortcuts and methods to drawing a skull, but drawing from reference is key. Like Rusty said: just keeping hacking away at it.

Don't slow down, keep posting! :P

[pennington]

i envy you. :P
good updates keep posting.
oh yeah and what does chuffed mean.

in this order-
-a attempt to imitate BanHantin, check out his SB if you get the chance, its great.
-quicky at some crappy characters
-Luger

[Konstruktion]

Really like som of the inked stuff. I see you practice Loomis! So do I, whopee! Inspiring stuff. That PS-robot looks neat as heck!

[Zord]

Sybo, i'm digging the digi. work. Especially the pair of jester characters. Any plans for coloring them? It'd work really well with the first jester, his shoulder/face designs. And just a quick question, was the robot from the earlier post inspired by Cartoonfox? Just keep on keeping on man!

[Sybo]

hey thanks for replies guys!
-Sarcophagus, thanks dude, yeah, should get to some more inked stuff.infact i plan to. and YES Loomis is great innit.
-Zord. thnks man, but the first of the digi characters isnt mine, its bahnhatin's, i just tried to imitate that pro. hes got some really nice character designs, imho. um, and yes...sorry forgot to mention...im blushing...yes, i was inspired by cartoon fox, in that charcol style robot in painter. to be honest, i saw his pic, said wow, cool brush, wonder if i can do something of the like, and away i went.

heres a few quickies on PS. will be puttiung up some more decnt stuff soon....:donk:

Hey Si I'm so thankful and greatful that u r my friend.
I like the last one a lot. i forgot how photoshop works now........

[3ch1n0]

Your anatomy studies are solid and make it obvious that you have good drawing skills. One area where you seem to suffer are faces. I suggest you study the skull (preferably from life). Draw it over and over in different possitions until you can draw it without a reference. This should improve your faces greatly.

*tip* use construction. start out with a sphere, then add the eye sockets first, and then build from that.

goodluck,

[Sybo]

I've not posted for a long time really, wow, like over 6 months, yet I believe I should give it another go....see if I can get to page two at least...

Points for whoever can guess what kindo of Fish'n'chip shop it is....

Hey Sybo!
Thanks for stopping by my sb!
You do a lot of good work! I like that you seem to constantly vary your techniques.
Funny: You did the same Type-Exercise as I did in University. Big letter, smaller copy - great, Professors seem to have no new ideas ;)
Keep up the good work, man!

[pennington]

hey it's been too long. great to see ya back here again.

[Dreamworker]

Nice studies! Keep more of this and draw draw draw dude ;)

[Sybo]

Pascallo -thanks also. Yeah it seems this exercise is a bit common in universities worlwide, I guess the 'proffesors' reckon we need to understand tha bauhous movement. I think it is a good foundation for understanding how design works- form/counterform, closure, ambiguity etc. thanks!
pennington - it has been too long. Its great to see how much ppl like you have improved!
Dreamworker - will do. thx

Its been a busy week, I've been traveling the country, I've been down to the bottom of New Zealand and back. I haven't found much time to put into art, but heres some semi-old work for various projects:


this is for a kids storybook of an imaginary place

This is for the Magician's nephew Theatre company based on the Narnia book by C.S.Lewis. I don't think the text will come out well at such a low res but you get the idea.

[drunknmunky]

V interesting sb, you've done a lot of work and it is most certainly paying off! :D I especially like your inks, keep up the great work!

[Sybo]

I actually sat down and did some paintings a bit back....they're kinda wonky and incorrect, but they are just to try my hand at oils...and I love it!

is it me, or is this first page ridiculously packed full of cheap drawing experiements...we await you page two!:yawn:


her face is stufeed proportion-wise but it was a learning thing...

:confident

[sorawit]

i like the ink one. the last one. very impressive work of yours.
your drawing feel so soft and cozy and sensitive - dont know how to put it the right way but nyway... they are pure and that's why i like them.

[FactorZero]

I'm lovin the typography stuff. Really clean. Finally got a chance to check out your stuff. I really like your pen and ink stuff, I wanna see more of that. Good variety in here too!

[pennington]

oh my gosh gorgeous ink work!!! (http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/2444/charlieinhisearlydaysnh6.jpg) and the narnia pieces are great too. well done and a cool style.

[Sybo]

Sorawit - thanks man, you are a great artist role model, your painting skills are developng so well and I love the way you draw and paint and make art. Its very pure, keep it up, do it for Gods glory bro.
Factor Zero - thanks for dropping by. Alot of the latest work is done for Uni, ie the variety of work and tyography, which isn't really my thing, but fun. Nice SB btw.
Penn - thanks man, ink is a great medium to work in. Your SB is coming along well too. Very well.

[Farvus]

Wow. Lot's of work. I especially dig your watercolours and those architecture photos.
However those imagination figure drawings often need more volume. For example treat the face as cylindrical form and put all the features on it. It will look much more 3 dimensional this way.

Keep it up!

[RaistlinTheDark]

sketches are pretty good, cool art!

[Sybo]

hey here a quicky update...just some studies really, everyone says I need to work on my heads and I quite agree. Therse are mostly from ref.:nohope:

Farvus - Thanks mate, I will keep working on my heads. Its amazing how bad habits spring up on you, I spent too much time copying and memorising comic and manga faces. Gotta focous on the real shapes, not just the symbolic objects that sit on the face.

RaistlinTheDark - Thanks alot! Very encouraging:wink: .

[FactorZero]

Very nice! I like that you used color too. Remeber to think about the bone structure and the shape of the skull underneath when drawing faces.

[bluefruitbowl]

Why, hello fellow sketchgroup-er! I don't think I've seen your sb before, so my first thing to say is wow. I love love love your anatomy studies you've done. Really nice. You work has come way far since the beginning of your sb. Good to have you in our group! :] I agree with FactorZero about remembering bone structure, but at the same time, you've developed some interesting faces and facial planes - I especially like the bottom one in the last page you posted. Try picking a distinct light source and developing planes and shadows with that.

[Chiko]

Hey! I'm really loving your pen/ink sketches. They are really nice and fluid. I love those Loomis PDFs too, I look back at them quite frequently.
I think your line quality is top notch, but you definitly need to work on proportions. I see alot of problems with this:
http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/5988/03292006063708pm5yi.jpg

The shoulders seem really off, and a bit large for how his torso is. You're really coming along great, loko forward to seeing some more!

[FactorZero]

I think part of the reason the shoulders look so large is because the head is so small in comparison. You could definitely upsize the head a bit. Do forget to use heads as a measure for proportion and overall height.

[Notorious K.A.B.]

Yeah,what Zero said,those shoulders look are waaaay out there,I know it's a pain in the ass getting 'em down,was one of my early obstacles.Keep 'em coming,peace.

[alenacat]

I know what you mean about remembering the symbols for say an eye or a nose, rather than the actual look of an eye or a nose after watching so many cartoons and readign manga. But the good thing about doing anatomy studies is that you can nicely make your own simple symbols and simplistic nose structures, etc and make them look accurate with ease... you're on your way.

Keep going, you've come a long way in a short amopunt of time already. it's impressive.

[FactorZero]

updates?

[zacharybear]

hey man those paintings are great, especially of the grayscale lady, I'm falling for it.

getting better man, keep up this pace and you'll be great in no time! :D

[pennington]

o.o nice heads good stuff :) great rendering. my guess would be to draw some skulls :D and think about perspective and basic shapes at the same time.

[Sybo]

Hey all, sorry for the long time away, Im such a slacker...the last few weeks have been CRAZY, but unfortunately I don't have much to show that would be suitable for these forums: colour studies, company identities, essays, etc...but not much to show for it.

So sorry for all those in ssg#43, Im a bit of a let down not updating and checkin out your stuff. Its gonna be great to work with you all!:confident

now:
FactorZero - Thanks man. guilty, I do have a problem with correct skull proportions, and I will keep working on it..
bluefruitbowl - nice to meet you too, I can see your sketchbook going a long way. Don't be like me and limit yourself by stylization, then have to go back and learn how to draw again (eg, skulls). I gotta work on those lighting skills to...Thanks mate
Chiko - Hey, thanks for your encouragment. Yes you are right my proportions are all out on that one, he probably wouldn't stand up in the real world...will keep working on them bodies
FactorZero You're right, head's too small, and I usually can't be bothered using heads for measuring as it seems more hassle than it's worth, but I will keep it in mind.
Notorious K.A.B.-thanks, peace be with you also, shalom:confident
alenacat - I think I have to work a bit harder at getting out of my old symbolic style of drawing. But you're right, thanks, will check out your SB in a min
zacharybear - thanks man glad you like them, im not much of a painter in general, but I enjoy it.
pennington thinking about prespective on the skulls and planes is a good idea thanks bro:wink:


And now for a bit of an update :

The colour piece is a study of line and colour and how to create forms through valuaing alone.

[algebra]

Great work so far in here, I really dig the color piece. Keep up the good work, you've improved a lot since the start of the thread.

[Colepoopface]

Love your sketches man, and thanks for stoping by my Sketchbook as well, i appreciated the compliments.

[alenacat]

woah nice ideas here, progressive sketching, great attention to form...very interesting

[GriNGo]

Sybo I love that lines of colors study! Just got to do something like that! keep it up man. My only suggestion is to start sketching from life, quick and fast sketches that capture the form as quick as possible! and make millions of those little sketches (apart from your longer studies of course). Do you keep a sketchbook with you most of the time?

[bluefruitbowl]

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=130906&stc=1&d=1177797968 Killer. It hurts my head to look at it for too long, though. Cool cross hatch shading, it's really effective. Got anything more finished to show us?

[themissinglink]

thanks for posting im my sketchbook. you have some really nice stuff going on here. i am really enjoying the experemintation you are doing. keep up the anatmoy studies some of them are really awsome; others i think you need to spend more time on and look more carefully (like the one of the skeleton, there are more than 10 ribs in the ribcage, but i only count 7 on your figure). your inking is also really strong. what i like most about your stuff is your watercolors, they are AWSOME; do more, lots more.

[Sybo]

Hey all, thanks for all the looks and comments!
i'm humbled.:zzz:

algebra -Thank you, its a pitty I failed the colour assignment that the line piece was a part of, I'm gutted like a fish.
Colepoopface -Your SB is amazing, thanks for stopping by:perv:
alenacat -thnx
GriNGoLoCo-AS I said, I failed that colour assignment>:| .But I'll get over it. You should def try out the technique, use a ruler pen and guache paint. I do often carry a SB round with me, I will keep your suggestion in mind.
bluefruitbowl-Sorry, I don't have nything much more finnished to show...glad you like that piece. I have a habit of doing lots of loose stuff and not much finnished stuff in general.
themissinglink-Thanks alot for comments, you are very encouraging. And your're right I need to put a bit more time into my work. Yet time flees my grasp. One moment it seems in my grasp, the next it is slipping and rushing away up up into the heavens...!ugh.:zzz:

Heres some quick work...a bit crappy at that. I have some other stuff just I left it at University, will post later. The last image is a bit older....

[bluefruitbowl]

Hooray studies! I really like http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=137283&stc=1&d=1178943690 , something about the thick/thin lines. Torso seems a touch long, though. Nice shading! I'm in the same boat as you with finished work, which is why you ought to do something bigger/longer. It's almost like a different process to do a finished piece. It's good for you. Or something.

[FactorZero]

the color hatching is interesting. very stylistic. your faces are coming along nicely. keep drawing the body and do more full body pics.

[kairushinjuu]

must say I am impressed, have been following your sketch book intently and the ammount you have progressed is very good, you facial studies and muscular stuides are great, and you show a great variety of different things, like you pen and ink work aswell, can't wait to see more ^^

[Visionspring]

Hey that colour liney piece is awesome, is that for Ken's Colour theory class? I failed that assignment too a few years back, haha ;) You are really improving with every page of your sketchbook, keep going!

[Sybo]

:batgirl:
I've been away too long
I've been traveling and unmotivated to post anything the last few month/year, but I'm gonna start up again. I have an end of degree exhibition this year and will be posting work I do for that as well.

Anyways,
I better get started...again.

So people: CHECK OUT MY NEW SB!
