Hi there
I honestly dont know why i opened this thread, while being surrounded by artworld most gifted and experienced people, but here it goes:
Im Lewis, 17 years old and living in the tiny and grey country of the Netherlands.
I recently signed in to an arteducation. Made some admissionassignments, and now im awaiting the response. When its positive i get invited for a conversation where i show off my portfolio.
And there we come to my main reason to open this thread. I hope u guys can help me improve my portfolio.

So here we go:

Cute dog, draw more of him. In general just do more from life. From what I hear life drawings are what most art schools are interested. Also drawing alot from life is arguably the best way to learn how to draw representationally plus it's alot of fun. So if you want my advice, draw as much as you can from life and use your best stuff in your folio.

[GunTrouver]

Thank you for visiting my SB:)
You work with a wacom? Try to make more exactly lines, use smaller brushes and try to improve your coloration skills. Have a look at some tutorials.
But before: Try to practice anatomy and figures. It's hard to learn and it needs much time but I think you'll get it.
The dog sketches look good, lifedrawing is a great practice:)
Keep it up:D

[Wetterschneider]

Pugs! Boogieman is dead on, draw from life. Anything and everything around you. I lived in Holland when I was in junior high and high school and I took a lot of after school lessons in oil painting and life drawing and um, ceramics too. It was a ton of fun.

[Lewis]

Tnx for the comments ^^

Boogieman > Tnx, ill definately do some more from life drawings (and some more pugs ;)). Kinda weird u like drawing from life so much, because i prefer drawing from my mind. But i have to admit drawing from life/reference can help a man improve a lot.

Guntrouver > Hey, np, i really loved watching ur sb. Be sure to update it! And yes i use a wacom (graphire 3 or somthing) and ive heard ur crit by some other people aswell, so i will try to change my wacombehaviour :P

Wetterschneider > Especially for you, a selfportrait in this update ;) And btw where do u live now? Im guessing some kind of englishspeaking country, seeing ur sentences.

Here the selfportrait and some other doodles

Lewis - thanks for the comments in my SB!

I like what you have going on here - I think you are doing very well for your age.... I didn't start to draw until I went to college!

can't wait to see more - keep up the posts!

[Wetterschneider]

Yep, I am an American, and I moved to Holland in 1979 and back to the US in 1984. It was a lot of fun, living there, and travelling around Europe. One of the things I like so much about CA is that so many people are from so many countries.

[Kei-th]

Hi!
I live in the netherlands my self!

Cool sb! The Drawing with a pencil look great but you should work on your digitals a bit more. DO you use a tablet? if not you should ;) It improves most of the guys who can draw with a pencil a lot!

[Lewis]

rob-ot > Hey, ill try to keep it up :D tnx for stopping by

Wetterschneider > Yeah i love it too, its fun to see how sometimes ones art is inspired by his homeland aswell

Kei-th > Yeah i use a tablet. I know it should improve, but it doesnt in my case i believe.. My lines are a bit wonky :P

Hey there. Thanks for popping by my sketchbook and please come again if you will. The last sp of yours is definately your best one so far and that is the way you should be going. On yesterdays sp the features seem a bit distorted to me. I'm myself practising proportions, taking measurements and building the construction lines everyday and it's a very slow process and even more slow progress (at least it is for me). I hope you have access to a loomis book 'cause it has helped me a lot. See you again.

[Lewis]

Another update

Placeboast > Tnx for the comment. And no i dont have a loomis book, hear a lot about him though... well i have an atanomybook of two hungarians, its pretty good aswell (describes atanomy of dogs, apes, cats, horses and other animals aswell)

So.... i didnt got invited to the arteducation i aplied for. Sad, but true.
Ive not lost my hope, tho. Another arteducation has caught my eye, so we'll see if i can get my hands on that.
This site also gives many hope, its great to see how people get into the artworld in many different ways, so an education is certainly not the only way.

Anyway, worked a bit more on my COWentry

I can already see an improvement, and your dog is so cute! I want to see more of him. Like everyone else said, more life drawing. Try and do a little every day. Draw anything and everything, your hands, your dog, a bowl, an orange on the table, everything. Date your work too, so you can go back and see how much you've improved. Keep going, and thanks for the comments :)

[Lewis]

Eey

Thanks for dropping by my SB, man. 17 eh? When I was your age I was teaching myself how to draw by copying shitty anime. Definitely not a good way to learn. Continue what you're doing, you're on the right track. Draw a lot more from life. It helps a ton.

Thx for checking my sketchbook :P
Your sketchbook is nice to, I like the way you do digital, just finish thi last one up, and it will look superb :P

YES, so true, but everytime i pick up my pencil i end up drawing fantasycreatures (just like in this post). Ill see if i have some discipline and post some lifestudies next post :D

[Brall]

hey there bro....I like what you have going here, you have a bunch of really interesting designs.

My only peice of advice to you right now would be to slow down a little. Right now it look to me at least like your speedig through these possibly, and in the process arn't really getting the planes of the form down solid.

Hehe, that looks like a run on sentance, but it's true. Just take a little more time and make sure that all your angles are worked out. Laying down the planes on forms correctly will really give your images a sense of depth.

P.S. Thanks for commenting in my SB

[Alcian]

Hey Lewis.. I keep wanting to call you 'boo' lol. The Eagle Warrior piece really caught my eye, great concept. To push your imaginative work more do studies from ref as well. If your still working on your portfolio try and see it from the 'examiners' point of view. What are they looking for. Often you will find that they are looking for good knowledge of the human form - so if you haven't tried life drawing, you should def give that a go.
Drawing from life will help and look good to - have a go at museum sketching, its very addictive *_*.
You got some great drawings here, if you could get a cleaner line they would look more polished.

[Lewis]

Exams almost over :D
Tnx for the comments

Brall > That is the one and only truth you tell! Im rushing way to fast on when im drawing,, especially on the shading. From now on im really gonna stick to your advice, altho u need to keep in mind that most of these drawings are only sketches. Still, tnx for the good crit :D

Alcian > Tnx for the advice. I hope when i get into an arteducation ill do some more ref and lifestudies. Im still going thru my exams and i only have a bit time for doodles and some lifestudies. When im done w/ those exams ill definately gonna do some more ref/anatomy and lifestudies. And ofcourse those enviros. Hmmm many promisses... lets hope i can stick to them :P

[artificial_green]

Thanks for posting in my sketchbook!

I see some nice things here. What I would suggest in your way of painting, use some more color diversity, like smashing some low-opacity complementary color in the shadows here and there. Also, don't just pick the lighter or darker tone of a color from the light-to-dark color slider. That will make it more intresting and alive.

Waar heb je je trouwens aangemeld? Ik studeer bij minerva. Je toelatingsexamen zal ook al snel zijn of niet?

tnx for the crits :)

ik had me trouwens aangemeld bij HKU, animation, maar ben daar niet toegelaten.

[Lewis]

Hey guys,

My entry to this weeks COW

The breathing birches
These trees may appear like any tree but they arent. The birches feed themselves from birds and other mammals browsing through the forest. When a unlucky bird comes to close to the "killertrees" the birches suddenly come alive and grab their victim.
Because the breathing birches originate from normal birches they dont have eyes or such. Instead they have many leaves and twigs who contain highly sensitive nerves. The nerves can sense small windwaves caused by animals and humans and thus give the trees the exact location of their preys...

got some insteresting sketches. I would like to see anatomy studies so you can make your characters more interesting and create more dynamic anatomy. Keep on sketchin.

[thegreypencil]

that kahjiu monster. mmm looks too much like the balrog from LOTR but I think its great you're able to reflect influence hmmm maybe try breaking up the mass into different parts and assembling without thinking about the finalproduct? sorta like turn it into lego and repositioning legs where heads should be. forget about the detailing or the shading..and think about the final in silhouette..if ye like it you can move onto rendering the creature. mmm well it works for me at least :D

hope it helps and keep drawin!

COW Firestarter
The Firestarter is a far descendant from the family of rats. It feeds itself all day long with the freshest and youngest leafs, twigs and tubers.
One problem remains for the Firestarter tho. Because just like every rat his teeth keep growing. Thus he smoothens his teeth against rocks. However his teeth arent regular teeth, theyre made from flint. So when smoothenening his teeth against rocks it has caused many forestfires.
Many scientists believe the firestarters have flint-teeth for a natural purpose. The fires keep the forest young and alive. From the ashes young trees and twigs arise, the Firestarter's main foodsource.

Leuk om te horen dat jij bent aangenomen op de kunstacedemie!
Altijd leuk om NL mensen hier te zien, zeker als het leeftijd genoten zijn.
Ik wil volgend jaar ook naar de kunstacedemie. Maar we zullen zien. ik moet nog veel oefenen. Maar het scheeld dat ik nog een jaartje hebt. Kun je wat vertellen hoe het intake gesprekverliep?

Ik vind je potlood tekeningen het mooist. maar dat is gewoon een kwestie van smaak. Ik zal je werk voortaan volgen ;). Dus blijf updaten. :P

tnx ^^ heet je echt oma trouwens of is dat een rare nick :P... maare over het intakegesprek: je moet een paar animaties maken en die aan 2 mensen daar laten zien. Ze vragen niet echt veel dus je moet zelf maar zoveel mogelijk over jezelf vertellen en dan met name over je tekenactiviteiten en de proces die je tekeningen doormaken. Ik had ook een heel groot portfolio meegenomen, van digitale werken (uitgeprint dan), schetsen, kleine schilderingen en zelfs een paar bewerkte fotos.
Ik denk dat ik ben aangenomen omdat ik redelijk enthausiast overkwam, maar met name ook door mijn grote hoeveelheid losse schetsen. (1 van de examinators vond mijn afgewerkte tekeningen bijvoorbeeld maar nix, maar vond de hele ruwe schetsen prachtig).
Wow.. das alweer een heel verhaal haha. Nou ik hoop dat het je helpt ^^ Wil je trouwens naar de kunstacademie in rotterdam, of ergens anders?

Eum, nope my name is not realy oma, its Rob. But you have to take a nick, my reallife nickname is mini by the way.

I think that you, like me, should draw more things from life.
A desk, your brother/sister, more of your dog etc.
I'll stop by every now and then to see your progress ;P

[demented]

Sup Lewis

thanx for poppin by my book mate.

Good progress mate, these are coming along well. Work on your anatomy some - learning anatomy will also help you draw creatures and inhuman things, and will aide you in improving your technique.

Keep up the good works mate!
ciao!

- d.

[Lewis]

Ouch having a hard time to keep it updated. Working at the moment, and its tiring me to the bits...

Having reached the second page gives me hope tho :bashful:

oma - Hmm sketches do show up this time.. weird... but heres some more of me from the future ;)

Zynic - Definately! Ill try to do some this week. Ive done a couple tho this month, but i dont really like my lifestudies... so boring :yawn:

demented - np mate, twas my pleasure! Anatomy is for sure a field for me to improve (altho enviros are on my prioritylist aswell). Fair enough, ill also try to do some anatomical studies this week!

Here's my sketch for the latest Teenchallenge: The survivor
Description comes later, as ill prolly work it out

[razorreke]

lewis you definitly have potential, i like the colouring on the more later pictures best,your imagination is rocking at your age of 17 exploid it,
try to work on the colour techniques even more,
i'm waiting for your next update

oh and thanks for the kind words in my SB

[Lewis]

[Goodbye..fromthevoid]

Good job for a 17 year old... but you need to draw more from life and copy photographs, anatomy books and so on. It's boring but it's the only way you even have a chance of getting better.

[bkdev]

doing well ... good imagination .. but as others have said, you should really concentrate more on human anatomy (speaking of which, so should I) Anyhow, keep up the good work :)

[oma]

Great,, where are you working?

zie ik duinen op de achtergrond?.. Try to think where the line have to go, they gonna look a loot cleaner, it's said many time to me. and realy it works :).

I like you ideas. you should work them out better. > more shading contrast etc.
but you will get my point, do some studying. like i do. it's realy helping, and you will improve a lot lot faster.

Maar onthoud, het gaat er uiteindelijk alleen maar om dat 'jij' je vermaakt.

blijf posten, hier zul jij nog veel leren. ( ik ook hoor, daar niet van :P. hoe meer hoe beter :D:D:D )

[Lewis]

Heya ca-peepz, work is done and im ready to rox

Goodbye: Tnx bro, especially for u i did a selfportrait :D Thats the anatomy of the head AND drawing from life haha...

bkdev: Yow man, ill def keep it up! tnx for dropping by

Oma: Hey mate, good to speak u again. Hehe, lately im too scared to check ur sketchbook again haha, to afraid to see unbelievable progress. Butteh the background were no duinen haha, i worked in Rotterdam at my fathers office. Pretty high building close to a big shoppingcenter "Alexandrium" dunno if u know it.
But hey, tnx for checking out me sketchbook!

Updates:

[oma]

Hope to see the teenchallenge soon, hehe. fucking robots???

that first one looks cool.

To your SP, normally the middle eye corners are a little lower than the outside corners. the lips normally are in the same line as the pupils, and don't try to do the hole iris between the eye lids. that is all said to me. :) and it helped me out well!

hope to see more off you soon!

[Lewis]

Hey oma, tnx for the crits, didnt knew about the iris-lips thing, seems fair enough :D

[Lewis]

Hey alcian tnx man!

Started sketching today again (after like a week of nothing). Kind of satisfied with the result.
Here's one of those sketches. A random face in wich i mainly focused on the eyes/nose/mouth instead of intensive shading

http://img425.imageshack.us/img425/5572/randomfaceyt2.jpg

nice sketch ... but his right arm needs a little more bulk :)

Bigass update coming, so be prepared:

[Lewis]

Almost forgot this exercise for school: make a strong-weak analisys of yourself.

http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/2196/sterktezwaktekp1.jpg

Translation:
Weak: Catching trains, lazy, going to bed too late
Strong: Ambition, incredibly handsome, intelligent, cool, tough etc etc

Explenation:
Imagening myself stands for my childly enthusiasm and ambition.
On the line are the goals i want to reach -> trains and good grades
But the bear keeps me lazy (bear stands for tv, forums, friends etc)

I can definatly see improovement in your drawings when your drawing from life, so definatly keep doing that. You have great imagination also, but the pictures from your head seem to lack accuracy in certain aspects so practicing from life will definatly improove this.

[Lewis]

Yes tnx doodle. Luckily i now have drawingclasses, so im forced to do more drawings from life.

blijf veel studeren :P. dat is tenslotte wat elke artistiest zijn hele leven zal blijven doen.

veel gesture's en studies van het leven.
bij je teen challenge kijkt die persoon niet naar het kasteel. ik weet niet of dat de bedoeling is maar. dat zijn kleine puntjes die je tekeningen beter kunnen maken.

ga zo door.

gegroet rob.

[Lewis]

Srry oma, no studies :P

Am so busy with arthistory and other boring stuff. So i just had to do some kinda fun drawing. Drew it while listening to "Junk".

[Alcian]

I love seeing peoples sketches from life, I got to try doing some of them some day! Definately seeing improvements, especially with stuff like proportions. Keep concentraiting on those though by training your eyes and such. I find that measuring things out with my pencil really helps at first.

The figures are showing a lot of promise - when doing studies keep in mind negative space and reflective light. Doing good, keep sketching.

[Lewis]

more random people sketches

http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/7748/verzamelsketchespc3.jpg

Hey Alcian, tnx for the advice man!
What do you mean by negative space btw (the fact that i dont know what it is, is probably the reason that im doin it wrong lol)

Hi Lewis Really nice lifers here. Especially like this one.http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=53197&stc=1&d=1164223934 Something about the gesture, your simple strokes and the graphicness of the shapes is very appealing.
The SP's are very interesting as well. This one has something in the eyes looking back at viewer that makes one curious what's behind the gaze.http://img309.imageshack.us/img309/3039/sketches6nd.jpg
Will be watching how your work develops. Good stuff.

[Lewis]

Thnx aztecflower for taking the time to check out my sb :D

Have tons of work lying around here, but kinda lazy. So here another selfportrait from mirror.
I totally fucked up the eye so blackened it, and after 15 minutes i wasnt in the mood to finish it.
Nonetheless its one of my better sp's. Ill add in a photo for u guys as reference.

Very soon ill update my sb with the piles of work im currently doin for school.

damn i still have so much work to scan in, but for now ill leave this COWthingie in my hopelessly unupdated sketchbook

http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/7686/cow85silvertoothnl3.jpg
As they hide in the many shadows the rainforests offer, this monkeyspecies is searching for future preys.
When a fat boar, an unknowing deer or for that matter a lost human is passing by the Silvertooth grabs his chance.
In no less then a split-second they jump out their hidingtree and throw themselves upon their prey.
Their secret lies within the special fur and teeth. Since theyre both incredibly white, reflective and shiney, the prey will simply get blinded by the lightintensivity.
Once blinded, the prey stands no chance... This because the Silvertooth, as natives call these kind of monkeys, have another weapon (besides their enormous jaws) to ensure their meal --> Their left "smashingarm".
This arm is held backwords while jumping, but when the struggle on the ground begins this ridiculously strong arm usually turns the tide towards the Silvertooth.

[invinciblewombat]

those moleskin pencil drawings are dope, lots of personality in them. overall the life drawings are the strongest of your stuff you have in here technical wise. i think you just need to translate the attention to detail you have in your analog sketches to your digital pieces to make them really shine.

[Lewis]

Little story about other assignment for drawing.
We had to make an object that had 5 kinds of material implemented in it.
Some guys on school made beautifull things, but me and some m8 were just chilling till late night with some beer.
Then we broke some wood and bricks. Took the beerbottles, nails and a plastic cup and made this xD

http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/8822/follyjn7.jpg

Then we had to draw it in different perspectives, but also as if it was a building or a monster or a robot. Weird assignment xD
But it was for the sake of lighting of different materials.
ANYWAY, i chose some tanklike thing for the robotassignment.

"The Apple Gatherer is an outdoor bogeyman. Sublime, subtle, deceitful and malicious.
He is known to keep company with goblins, kobolds, redcaps and other foul ferries. He is especially fond of children, small dogs, and farm cats.
Seen most frequently in apple orchards, he haunts only during the twilight hours, when he is most likely to catch a farmer's child lingering unawares."

"The gothic angel is a story of Satans most malicious plan to rule the world above hell.

He created a demonic angel and gave him half of his dark powers.
Within days hundreds of heavenly angels were killed. Nothing seemed to match the creatures ancient powers. His axe poured through any shield, his helmet could withhold any blow and the hellish aura that surrounded him drove the weakminded mad.

Hope came when after 600 horrific days the demon began to weaken.
Even though his dark armor was perfect in design, his pale skin was no match for the sun.

Finally at the 666th day since his arrival the Gothic angel fell from the sky."
