Good foundation studies. Keep drawing hands and drawing figures, and anatomy studies. Theyll help you improve fast. Also try to use cleaner lines when drawing.

[JJJ86]

I like where this is going, I especially like the vertical collage.

[Doomgriever]

videogames is my big passion aswell :) i can see u dig it! anyways, first thought is that u really need to learn anathomy and proportions (something i never seem to get time to do) but you're acctually getting better at it as one can see in ur latest piece, i like the pic where she holds the sniper pointed at the viewer best, that style is most interesting. keep on drawing! ^^

[Lotet]

haha, awezome =P really funny and just...great, neat idea^^


wanna see more pleeese?

[Crimm]

[vimmel]

You don't need to get on your knees for anyone my friend, your work is AWESOME! Don't even think of deleting this SB :teeth: the animations are coming along well, the space invaders wreaking havok is crazy :teeth: (in a good way) I'll check back on you, keep up the good work :)

Thankk yoouu, I dont have anything at the moment but I will try my best to share more stuff worth coming back here for!

Edit: Also I realize this is a very mixed sketchbook with many different styles, Im still trying to find what best fits me, but I dont know if having a fan art cartoon next to a Realistic portrait for example is a turn off or not?

[Bushido]

Good stuff

Keep working on thoose pencils!

Cheers

[gnilrE]

masterchief and animation is fav'd at DA.. because im a sucker for halo and animations... and they look awsome :geekg:

[nauvice]

thnk you both for comenting! I barely expect comments here or dA so sorry for not replying sooner

thnks for comment Bushido, yes I think my pencil work is what I should work on mostly but I try to bypass it sometimes and cover a weak penciling with colors and I think you saw through that, i will strive to improve of course!

gnilrE, Im working on an animation now hopefully I will be able to show something soon!

[TASmith]

I think it's rare to find someone who's better at comics than realism. Some of your portraits are really great - most feel like they'd be great in person, but the photos of them are poor. It'd be worth it to photograph or scan them again - especially that still life. Many of what you upload is blurry. Still, having said that, watch out for flatness.

The Heaven Boy page and the comics drawn in post 13 are great! It's nice to see a new take on linemaking in comics. When are you going to post some more of that?

[blazinwolf]

I found your sketchbook!

The sketches with the lines are so sick. :) I love your latest painting, I want to see it finished.

Can't wait for my painting class in the spring semester.

[Lateman]

yo man! you got a pretty awesome sence for colors!!! looove you style, looks very skilled
pls show me more of your work

best wishes, lateman

[Bulldawg Creative]

You can never get enough chicken death! Nice.

[danlucas]

Awesome SB, I agree with you on the information Overload. There is way too much out there to take in at one time. We gotta take it in piece by piece, day by day... Slowly.

Great paintings and drawings, I digg it.

[vardoburrito]

Too nice, I love them ... contouring? lines style (if there's a name for it, I don't know, ha) Gunhand and robot searching ... phaw the animation looks nice also.
I've yet to touch oils, so I can't fully appreciate it, I just know that there's drying times involved and that's dangerous for people with short attention spans. The oils need a steadier hand to take picture man. xP

[Black Spot]

That's a nice still life. Watch the horizontal level of the wine in the glass and the ellipse on the silver cup.

Sorry I scared you yesterday.

[vardoburrito]

oohhhh, wow, those are acrylics (noob eye alert) ...
I love the proportions of your figures, and the perspectives on some of your pieces.
That post 17 lines man. I can't stop looking at them. You're making me, not work - I'll close my eyes when I come geezing next time around. :P

[rolandb]

Have you ever seen the animated film "the fantastic planet" by Rene Laloux? or read the comic books of Pascal Doury? If not, I think you would enjoy them

[Ian Barker]

I'm really liking all the diversity in this sketchbook... very nice work! more studies would be cool :)

[Amanieu]

Very nice paintings, woa i love your still life.

[nauvice]

Amanieu, thnks it means a lot ;)

liffey, thnks and true I really should go back to doing figurative studies

rolandb, I wrote to you on your sketchbook a while ago, still havent seen the movie yet, I plan to though, will tell you what I think of it

dwardo, hahaha thnk you means a lot :D, I get addicted to drawing lines once I start, glad its appreciated :-P

not a huge update, I really wish I could fill this thread with a lot of drawings like all the great sketchbooks that I look up to out there but Im lazy :(

[GoGoJojo]

Ooh! That's beautiful! I love the colors and light!

[nauvice]

@GoGoJojo, thank you!!! worked really hard on it!

[gnilrE]

oh sh!t, those last ones are insane. *drool*

when i conquer the world, that will be my bedroom.

[TASmith]

Hey man, this recent architecture is good, but when are you going to get back into painting again? I'd like to see another update!

[nauvice]

......

[blazinwolf]

My painting teacher's pretty good, but the assignments are kind of boring. We're just basically copying pictures. Not too much imagination involved. =\ And yeah, isn't that elwell or something??

Ummm. that last one is INSANE. I would never dream of tackling something like that, omgsh. You rock!

Ps, you changed majors? What to? It's funny cause I'm seriously unhappy in graphic design. No one in this stupid major even draws. Bahaha. But I already changed my major once before, I can't do it again. haha. I figured in the end I'm getting my bfa and then I'll just do whatever I want. :P

[m419r]

Wow you have some really great stuff here. I especially enjoy looking at the still life stuff and the head studies. I hope to be at that level someday soon! Keep up the great work.

[nauvice]

[Diarum]

glad you updated lol :P how come it took your so long to post anything?

[Tom Fenton]

could u paint a picture from kindgirls.com :D :D :D :D preferably search for Jenya... so so hot

[BlightedArt]

Wow, really interesting last post. We used to use that drawing technique as a warm up for figuring out the 3d form of a life-drawing model, so it's nice to see it used in a more creative way. Seeing it in comic- form is quite cool!

You've got some fantastic studies, and that eloquent meeting room looks wicked. I think the perspective on it needs a bit of work though. The reliefs at the bottom of the image are all saying "copy pasta" to me. :P It's quite a wide shot and feels like a very grand area to be in; so make it feel grand. Have the reliefs bend with perspective at the sides as the table stretches away from the viewer, it'll make the area feel much bigger and real.

Love the orange-blue colours complimenting each side of the image though; but maybe the orange could be amped up a bit more.

Sorry about the late response! :P Decided to look at your SB again after you handed my ass to me on a silver platter regarding the Molly Norris thread.

The copy and pasting in the hall image isn't that obvious, it just looks off, which calls for further inspection, and THEN you sort of realize the copy pasta thing. It still works though, but there's a quote that Richard Williams says to describe animation that can apply here, he says it in context of animating every frame, as opposed to animating every second frame and holding it for two frames (timing is the same, but one looks more fleshed out)

"It might be twice the amount of work, but visually it's three times better."

Or something along those lines. :P So yeah, painting each bit by hand will be a lot more work, but the turnaround is so much better and it'll really give your image life.

Some really nice updates here, love the castle environment. :)

[Diarum]

Whats with all of the lines in some of your stuff?

[BlightedArt]

Whats with all of the lines in some of your stuff?

They're cross-contours. Not sure if ZWarrior was using them for this purpose or if it was just for an interesting aesthetic. But cross contouring is quite a good way to quickly study objects from life and figure out how it works in 3D.

[Jonathan C]

good work. keep those studies up!

Damn...Your studies put me to shame....geeeez.
Love the animated studies, i really like that, cool idea. And that animation on the other page. Also, your videogame themed paintings are great.

Keep all this hard work up. You're doing great!

Hey!
Keep your anatomy and proportion studies on!
You have done very well with them and they helped you a lot ;)

Greetings Silwynar

[bhanu]

first of all i dont get the 3 star ratings, I know there are people who give stupid ratings, but when I see threads with 3 star ratings, I start to feel this rating system is stupid.
As I can see that you are working to get better, irrespective of the fact where you are now, your thread is good.

Ok whatever.

Nice studies, but I seeing one thing in all your wokrs, you are not pushing the contrast as much as you should. And are you working with low opacity, I say play with high opacity, reaching the tones and values by picking the right tone from palette, rather than building upon layers. Work on them as you would work on an oil painting.
And start working on your edges too. But its good to see progress in this thread.

best of luck and keep working.

[blazinwolf]

yay sketchbooks!

I like the last set.

:D

[NicoleWG]

Great job on the anatomy studies in post 63. It would help if you incorporated those when you always draw figures, because those are the most solid. Even if you shade and copy the right contours, figures still look flimsy when you don't address internal structure. As a result, the post 63 figures look the more sturdy. It's important to always be aware of internal structure so you give figures mass and weight.

[bhanu]

Well yes I did mean to work from darks to light, as well as to work opaque and then work on the edges to get tonal transition......

The last figure is really awesome looking, love the texture on it.
