[Joey-b]

more to come

[Joey-b]

I wont let me be down by not gettin comments :P
so here's some more,
this was kind of an exercise to play with opacity
normally i just set it to a 100% but now more like 40% op. and 40% flow

hope u likez it,
sketch + colors
C&C always very very welcome!

[saa]

those are some nice sketches. i like how you try to draw things from imagination. it would help you get a better foundation to draw things from life, not only from photos, since you still have some difficulties with color and proportions. i like your SP's, but i guess since they are painted off from photos you didn't learn too much from doing them. keep going, you will grow quickly.

[Joey-b]

Saa - thanks for ur comment, yeah ur right i dont really draw from life, but i do from photo's.
maybe i should start drawing from life.
as for the SP's, i dont really agree i did learn a lot from doing them, maybe not as much as i would've if i'd drawn them from life, but i did learn a better understanding for colors

hope to show some pics drawn from life soon hehe

[wookiedabo]

i agree with the above. your colour skills really are great, lavely stuff goin on in that department, but your figures forms are letting you down. honest, from life is the best way, but then again ya cant rule out the usefulness of photos when life drawaing simply isnt possible. but ye, lil figure work should really do ya work wonders.

[Joey-b]

Wookiedabo - thanks, okey okey ill start right away, to bad im home alone,

btw i did draw some stuff from life, in this SP i drew the head from photo and the rest with a mirror standing next to my comp hehe

did this about 4 month ago

[HecMoney]

good stuff here, keep your stuff coming

[Eva K]

Great stuff you have here so far, the portrait and the robot are my favorites :) Keep it up ! ^^

[Joey-b]

HecMoney - thanks man, i will

Oscen - thx, yeah i kinda like the robo myself

more here,
.. Arnold.. dont ask.. hehe

also.. some robots, was gonna be a finished work.. but somehow i lost interest allong the way (about 15 minutes after i got the idea )

[Joey-b]

This weeks CHOW + the wips
took me 2,5 hours.. and im pretty happy with it!

[flaptraps]

[Joey-b]

thx a lot flaptraps!

[Joey-b]

45 minutes


EOW #55 AFTER THE BATTLE

After a long and heavy night the city awakes to face the devistation that has been caused

[Smoke]

Love the colours, lets see more sketches!

[Joey-b]

Smokey - Thx!, well u wanted it

hope u like it

[Joey-b]

happy color speedpaint!

30 - 45 minutes
castle on the coast

[Joey-b]

Huh? whats the matter with my old attachments.. their not showing :S .. just click links?

Edit - now it works again.. hmmm weird

[Joey-b]

someone was willing to pay me for some digital portraits.. weird huh

this will be printed on canvas thats why i have the white bg
I hate the rainbow, I hate cupid, I hate the white bg. But thats what they wanted and who am i to ignore that..

anywayz 3 hours in this.. pretty quick huh

cant say if i like the faces, they look like them.. they're pretty detailed...
but i think its laking texture.. or maybe it needs a more paintery feel to it.. a bit to photo like now, dont know really.

plz C&C so that i can really make the people who this is for happy

Edit : cupid was also drawn from a Ref btw

[canned_fruit]

Hmm, looks pretty good to me.

Yeah i'm seeing improvements from your first works, starting to get that real 'crisp' look.:)

[Joey-b]

thx a lot, glad u like the stuffzz

[Ermac]

Your last post looks pretty good to me, if you were to to add anything, maybe a cloud at the left start of the rainbow. I really dont know it looks kind of alone, but it would work how it is.

[Joey-b]

thank you, yeah ill get back to the pic soon, i got some other good crits as well so ill give an update soon

thank you!

[Joey-b]

Workin on a chow

[o00o0o0o0o0o]

I really like it.

You're amazing with the digital medium.

[Joey-b]

thank you! .. but i do need a lot of learning though hehe

[Trashy]

Hey man, didn't know you had a sketchbook here.

*sigh*
I gotta update mine...I'm such a lazy tard :bashful:

Anyway, that last piece with the portraits is looking pretty crisp. Good details but I can see what your saying in terms of lacking some kind of texture, but I wouldn't mess with it. As for the background, maybe think about adding more blues and hints of clouds further down and behind the heads and Cupid. That might actually help Cupid look less static and will push the faces out more as well I think. Dunno...you could possibly make the womens teeth more white also, but thats just a small nit-pick. The skin tones are awesome though. See you around the CHOW maybe.

[KtCruit 57]

I love the couple picture! They look so happy! You did a nice job making them look real. I would suggest that in the part above the rainbow be less scratchily blended into the white. Blur it, like you did on the sides.

I like your style and your ideas, so keep it up!

[Joey-b]

Trashy - yeah im glad u agree on the texture.. but i will mess with it i think..
as for the tips on the bg, thx good crits!

ow and yeah.. c u around chow :yayca:

Ktcruit - thx im glad atleast someone likes the drawing haha, yeah should probably blend more, looks a bit rushed now (it was hehe)

thx for ur kind words!

[undergroundsean]

nice works ~~ like your colors. it's really good .

[Joey-b]

[Joey-b]

[Sirielle]

Nice sketchbook. Your self portrait is my fav here, great idea :sungod:

[Joey-b]

Tahnk you Sirielle - wich Self Portrait do u mean? there are a few in my SB

more more more

here is the progress
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=114349

[Joey-b]

not sure this'll ever be finished..
so i thought i'd post it here so i wont forget about it hehe

[Ignominious]

i REALLY like the colors that you use and your atmosphere! :) :) :) :)

that cliff with the bridge is very very good! the only thing that i see wrong is the reflection. water isn't a pure mirror, and how it reflect depends on the dirtiness of the water. dirtier the water, darker, and less sharp the reflection. also, water reflection is ALWAYS darker (even just a little bit) than the real object.

great stuff! i can't wait to be seeing more!

[Joey-b]

Thanks for ur nice comment, hmm new thing for that the reflection is always darker thank you for that.

well i hope to give u more soon, thxs!

[Joey-b]

im still workin on it a bit

thought i'd post it here as well.. maybe some good crits?

[Trashy]

Hey Joey-b,

How's it going lately? Well you seriously made mass improvements in the portraits you've been doing lately. Okay so about that last piece. I left you a comment on DA but not much of a critique so here it goes.
I think you nailed the face, honestly I don't see ant major flaws...IT ROCKS! The armor is lacking though when compared to that face. It needs more smoothing out and I think a couple highlights are too harsh. Dunno...it just comes off as looking rushed right now.
I know you like doing mechanics a lot so you might want to start collecting some good reference material on stuff like, armor, robotics. These I think you do need to improve on somewhat. Study more from life...thats what I need to do more also.

Keep working on it.

[Joey-b]

Hey Trashy!, thank you

Yeah im trying more from life also.. but i do that with pencils..
and my scanner's busted so cant post it up here

As for the armor, yeah i know i should get better at that cause this looks a bit shitty, practising a lot though so i get better everytime


2 more sketches i did on tabby.. not much but i have to post something right?

[Joey-b]

more..

[Joey-b]

Did some pencils today, even tried myself on some female anatomy

Im sorry for the terrible quality.. got 3 scanners.. cant get one of m to work :S
hope u dont mind..

ow and im sorry for the hands sketching.. the biggest one is the worst one lol..
ahh well good practise anywayz.. hands drawn from life

ladies (to bad.. ) arent drawn from life, but drawn from anatomy photobook + imagination

the rest.. all from the head

[Joey-b]

45-60 min sketch

joker!

[Joey-b]

when do people start commenting? :)
ahh well here's more

zombie doodle 20 minutes?

[Monika Gruszka]

hey, nice work, i love your style! selfportraits are great. you have a great imagination;) keep it up, i wanna see more:)

haha, i have the same problem with comments:)

[Trashy]

when do people start commenting? :)


If you build it...they will come :teeth:

Keep at it man and I want to see more of those studies. Those ladies look pretty good and the joker is great. By the way, check out this link- http://www.posemaniacs.com/blog/pose/

All the poses on the website you click on can be rotated in a 360' angle. Really helpful website for drawing figures.

[Joey-b]

monna-giovanna - thank you a lot!

Trashy - im buildin :P.. almost on page 3 so :D, thx for the link.. think ill be using it.. maybe for entering chow.. would be cool thx!

[Augmenton]

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for loking at my SB, and taking time to comment on my WIP thread. You have some good concepts here, and I like your use of color. Keep it up!

[BohemianChaos]

Heyo Joey B, I really like some of the stuff you've got in here. Some of those environmental pieces are really sweet... though you seem to crank them out pretty quickly, so maybe you should post more of them more often. :P

I would suggest to continuously work on anatomy, even if they are just from photos... especially hands and feet. Despite your studies, those always seem to be the parts that you tend to avoid or save til last. If you really want to see some live models, research any schools or groups in your area that might hold a live drawing class on a weekend or something... they're usually inexpensive, and you can save yourself the embarrassment of asking someone you know to pose nude for you. :wink:

Keep up the good work! :yayca:

Boho

[Joey-b]

Augmenton - Thank you

Bohemian - thanks, yeah i draw landscapes pretty fast but not a lot haha.. to little actually.. mmhh maybe ill do some speedpaints the next days..

yeah i really should work on my anatomy, and i am.. just not enough..
as for drawing class.. well there really arent any nearby

i went to one art class.. but it wasnt very good.. the teacher was no good..
she was very good at drawing.. but didnt understand it.. know what i mean?
copying photo's was all we did there.. no fun

anywayz.. enough of my ramblings..

here is a CHOW and a never finished COW.. damn i need to do some sketches to put here

[Ian Mack]

Cool work in your Joey, you have a great imagination and I like how you explore different subject matter. I really need t to that in my own sketchbook. Everyone is drawn at eye level though, would be interesting to see you mix up the perspective some.

[Joey-b]

Ian Mack - thx!, yeah i know i should practise some more dynamic perspectives..

but ones i start it it looks like butt.. .. (thats even more reason why i should practise it haha)

[Joey-b]

Ow and i didnt do those enviro's hehe.. i will soon though, then ill post

[Joey-b]

302013

[Joey-b]

302047

hmm not motivated so i give u crap again hehe sorry :)

[Lotet]

deamn, that water is awezome, u must have used a phototexture for that right? please tell me you did!

and that guy eating hes pencil was funny lol, i do that sometimes to, and even ask myslef that same question sometimes xD

[Joey-b]

Lotet - okey i did, although twasnt a photo ;) twas just a texture i got some where stacked, thanks for viewing and commenting on my sketchbook every now and than, much appreciated! :D

[Joey-b]

pff.. not in a drawing mood.. did the DSG

Artrage Rage
30 minutes
302650

[Jabo]

Hey Joey, first thanks for stopping by. Gladly I can give back the asspat concerning a nice progress, those paintings are coming along nicely. I like the octupus guy in 79 most. You should put more work in your enviros tho, the last one for example is too symmetric and the colors are false.

[Joey-b]

okey Jabo u got it hehe, ow and the enviro i just posted was just fooling around in artrage hehe

hope u like this one better ow and thx for taking ur time to comment back!

here is a speed, 45 -60 minutes
302735

[Joey-b]

And one more

30 minutes.. mushroom cave
302739

[Jakers]

The last ones are interesting. With the muschroom cave, I really like the soft ambiance around the entrance and mushrooms themselves, but some hard edged lines and texture in the front and away from the light would add some neat focal points. The floating city has some style to it, but still perhaps some culteral influenced buildings would have been cool to research and implement. I do like the range of colors in there, push a bit more blue/purple into the top of the sky to match the nice orange on the ground

[Joey-b]

Jakers - thanks, yeah i know i should've shapened it up a bit.. lazy me haha.. but i wanted to keep it under 30 minutes ;)

as for the color on the other good idea.. i might just try that out

for the meantime here is another speedo
trying something with rocks..
45 minutes
302902

[Joey-b]

for challenge toaddeer

303252

[PeggyChung]

hey Joey the beach one is looking good, confident strokes and that last creature made me chuckle a little, funny little fellow. keep ti up doood!

[Joey-b]

LadyLioness - thanks a lot! ill try to keep it up, ow and one of ur drawings inspired me to do this speedpaint, thank you! hope u get to see it

took me 45 -60 minutes

303352

[Lotet]

wow, this is prob the first envos ive seen from u, theyr really good^^keep it up

[Joey-b]

Lotet - well i used to do only environments.. thats why my sketchbook is full with crap cause im practising animal/human drawing haha.. just wanted to do some speedo enviro's now.. more to come i hope.. glad u like m!

[Joey-b]

Told u there was more to come

speedpaint uh.. 1 hour.. kinda dig it..
303612

[Joey-b]

Amazing!
Great detail. My favorite is the self portrait.

[Zaelzar]

Hey, I saw you around and decided to check out your SB. You've got some skill man! I love that CHOW and your environments. I'll will definatly be back to check out your updates.

[Joey-b]

alicat08 - thank you wich one?

Zaelzar - thank for checkin my SB hope to see you soon.. ow and wich Chow did u like?

[PerinGalitte]

Hey man. Nice paints going on here. I really enjoyed the mushroom cave, very effective contrasts/values.

[Joey-b]

PerinGalitte - thank you! glad u like that one, i kinda do 2 haha

toaddeer is gonne be redone, here is the pencil sketch
304078

[kidult]

That last enviro is showing great promise!

[Zaelzar]

alicat08 - thank you wich one?

Zaelzar - thank for checkin my SB hope to see you soon.. ow and wich Chow did u like?

I really liked Chow #105. The texture you used on the girls clothing just made it stand out to me.

[Joey-b]

Kidult - Thanks, i tried to make it fast and effective so i guess i succeeded

Zaelzar - thank you, glad u like although i wasnt sure a bout the tex, its a bit to overwelming i think

[Joey-b]

I Colored it!

1 hour color job.. okey 1 hour 15 minutes to be exact :)
i kinda like it.. wanted to do something a bit more illustration like.. combined with chuck mate's style
304156

[TheJester]

hey joey!!!! thnx for stopping by my sb!!!!
you seem to have a ferature that I have never ever seen in another sketchbook. Usuallyy the last things to become really good in someone's work are faces, portraits. But for some reason, although you're obviously in the middle of a learning process, the maturity and freshness of some of your portraits is way ahead everything else!!! Don't neglect it, it's definatelly a big advantage of yours!!!!

your enviroments are getting better by the post too! Couple of things you should start trying is adjusting your palette. Don't think "real color" in your head, and try to create atmosphere. For instance, the mushroom piece, is accurate chromatically, brownish rocks, yellowish sunlight, etc, but how bout if you try and paint the same piece, using only greenish, blueish colors? It will oddly seem so more real, in a twisted way. Check out the big guys, coro, manley, all of the faces above, and see what they do with their colors. Also, try sharpening some points around your pieces.
Use your own work as an example. the mountains, show that you can be brave in your strokes, and they do seem more alive.

I am definately not the guy to judge speed paints, but I know for sure that the standard photochop circle brush, is a really big trap, with it's smooth blending and silky results. Still, when painting rocks for example, you mustn't fall in that trap! ;)

keep it up man!

[Joey-b]

The Jester - thank you for ur long comment

Im glad ur liking my portraits.. i think their better than the rest cause i draw a lot of portraits (pencil mostly) and its easier to get lighting/colors/anatomy better when using a photo for ref, and also a good lesson

cool that my enviro's are getting better, and ur right i should think outside the box more, im trying to do that with the brushstrokes, not paying to much attention to details, but more to how the light falls in.. ones i got that down a bit better ill definatly start with throwing in some purples n stuff

as for the round brush, i know it sucks for rocks.. im still trying to find a good brush for drawing rocks, or a good method.. tis hard but im learning haha

[Joey-b]

My SKetches for today
304984

[RandAlThor]

Hey Joey, Good work so far mate. I noticed that toad deer thing in the challenges the other day, didnt realise it was yours... has a nice idiot apathy style thing going on those that white line is a bit distracting... Nice pencil handling, tho some edge variation would really push yo to the next level, its just that whole solid outer line that i personally dont like, but hey if you like it keep doing it.. Keep posting mate ;-)

[Joey-b]

RandAlThor - hmm yeah i really need to start doing more pencil stuff, well im trying anyways, ow and thanks for the kind words on the toadeer hehe

here are some more pencils

[Liam Harvey]

ah- i see someones been reading the Ultimate wolverine Vs Hulk by (forgets writer) and lienil francis Yu?
yu's stuff is pretty cool.

dont fret about the hands dude, their good, the Hulks Fist looks the best i think.

looking forward to the end result!

[Joey-b]

Gerbil Fetus - thx a lot, but i was thinking this is my SB.. so i shouldnt post all the WIPS..

i made a thread in the Sketches N wip section where i will continue to post my WIPS

[Lotet]

cool update!

btw ur cignature link to ur sketchbook isnt working, youve coded it wrong,
its NOT "http://" twice >,<

[Joey-b]

thanks m8 its working now.. strange.. thought i tested it, ahh well.. tis working now

[Flaskpost]

Hey man! Really cool marvel sketch!

[Joey-b]

Thanks Flaskpost! much apreciated, especially since i suck at human anatomy hehe

[yoitisi]

Hey Joey-b, time I left a comment in here :) Nice SB you've got here, I particularly like the Penguin Professor for CHOW and that little COW critter :)

That last piece with Hulk and Wolverine has some issues though. The hands are okay, but there's some other anatomy things to take care off. First, the shoulder of Hulk is sort of missing. You drew his shirt between his neck and arm, but it might be worthwhile to check what should be going on underneath it. Also, the way the Hulk is holding Wolverine makes it sort of difficult for the latter to hold his left leg like that. Hulk's little finger is reaching through his body atm :)

[Toxdel]

ooooo, me likey the hulk wolverine pic. btw I kept my word and voted for ya on the chow challenge, good luck!

[Joey-b]

Yoitisi - thank you for the crits, i think i adjusted it all.. glad u like my SB :)..

Toxdel - :D thanks man! :D


its done!

[Joey-b]

Yups, Wolvies is getting his B-hind kicked haha, thanks man i will!

[Lotet]

ermn...the hulk is green, you do know that right? >,<

[Flaskpost]

hey man! The colors looks really good! But you got a bit of a tangency with the hulks mouth and the sleeve, looks a bit like he´s throwing up. :)

[PerinGalitte]

Your latest paints are really good. Appropriate use of light and a believable rendering of form.

[Quinn Simoes]

Nice finish to the Hulk/Wolverine painting Joey.

[Joey-b]

Lotet - -.-

FlaskPost - Thanks a lot! :D, yeah looks a bit weird lol

perin - thank you! yeah it really helps starting with black n white first

Quinn - Thanks man!

:lifedrawing:

[hunchback]

hey man thanks for dropping by the sb
your work is looking pretty good. the ballpoint commisions you did are amzing

see you around :yayca:

[Joey-b]

hunchback - thanks man!

more.. candles n stuff

[Smarty]

good stuff. sometimes you hatching follows the form a little too much giving the impresseion of a net thrown over some of your planes. Try hatching in many directions to build up form. Its like when you paint and decorate a wall. you should go one way all the way and then another way for the second coat. the eye doesn't notice the brushmarks if you just work a little more randomly.

[Joey-b]

smarty - okey thanks good crits!

here are some more
candle wich looks awfull
and my gf when she was about 3 years old

[Joey-b]

Tried some 15 minute colors on it in PS, had to blow the dust of my tablet first hehe

[Joey-b]

I got myself in to scanning some A3 papers,
Scan kinda sucks but it´ll have to do

Clown - Doodling on A3 with colored ballpoint
Deer - Colored Pencil about 45 minutes from photo ref
Muhammed Ali - Can u tell its him.. ballpoint 45 minutes from photo ref
Old man - Ballpoint 1,5 hour on A3 from photo ref
Lady - Doodling on a3 ballpoint.. dunno the time

[Joey-b]

Here some more,
i just did these

master windu, and well something like obi wan but not lol, didnt really like the drawing so thats why i did master windu from ref

[Genius_Malignus]

Hey Joey, and thanks for your reply in my SB.
I just took a quick look at your work, and you have got some pretty sweet stuff in here. It's nice to see your development from page one, and onwards - keep going!
- Really digging the two ballpoint commission works on page 7 - I have always been a sucker for ballpoint myself.
I don't have time right now, but I will be back to give your SB a more thorough look.

[Joey-b]

Genius_Malignus - Hey thanks man, that would be great!
visit is much appreciated.. cause damn i get little replies. hehe


had boring night shift again, so i drew some stuffz

- Darth Maul going green, a bit reffed, from google
- Crack Girl

hope u enjoy:drinkup:

[Braintree]

hey! thanks for dropping by my sb. Your stuff is really good, keep it up!

[Joey-b]

Braintree - thanks for the visit! :)

More work on this guy

[Joey-b]

Some Sketches for this weeks COW

[Gilead]

Man you're finished works are so much nicer than mine. Both the pencils and the paintings, everything has a very strong sense of form.
Your "vampireish" self portrait is especially nice. Complexion's too good for a classic vampire though. More like a normal, healthy young man with a taste for human blood. But then we all have our little foibles.

[Joey-b]

Gilead - thank you!, I think we just draw different things and if anything u'd be the better artist cause i love the female drawings you do.
not that it matters, as long as we enjoy drawing haha.
Thank you for your visit!

Quick portrait, about 20-25 minutes

[Joey-b]

My Cow 131 Design, but im gonna go with the other one, didnt wanna spare u the colors

[Joey-b]

Some Robo Doodles, not much but its something

[Joey-b]

Cow Entry + Process

[Joey-b]

Sketch 0f an orcy.. might color this one.. dont know yet

[Trashy]

Finally got to drag my butt over here. Thanks for coming by my sb again. Good to see fresh new updates from you man and good going again with those ballpoint pen studies. I like that cow entry also! You keep it coming!

[Joey-b]

Hey Trashy, long time no typ. :yayca:
thaanks for the visit m8


anyway, dont think this ll be done so ill go ahead and post it
Plus a cool "sketch -into- grayscale -into- color" picture

Ow Reffed for the anatomy

[Cam Sykes]

The orc is going well. My only suggestion is to be careful of the highlights. This is mainly on the flesh. It can start to look plastic and unnatural. The differences in value on the forms of the body is usually quite subtle unless in strong direct lighting.
Oh also the light source seems to differ on different parts of the body. BY looking at the cast shadow from the spikes on his shoulder plate I would assume the main light source is from his back left. but then I'm conused becasue the lighting on the muscels would suggest it is kind of top down.

[Joey-b]

Thanks CamSyko, I see what you mean with the jumping lightsource.
The crit about the to dark skintones.. thats really an eye opener.. i tend to keep going darker and darker and in the end looks like crap.. Thanks!

ow and btw.. i aint gonna finish this pic thats why its in my SB

[D@niel]

Nice SB man, Some cool stuff:)!

[Joey-b]

D@niel - thanks man! although ur way better haha
