Polydrawer's Sketchbook (A mix of all spices)

[polydrawer]

Since my old webspace went down some of my earlier work went down with it
A great tragedy to the world? I think not... :P

There's new stuff at the later pages (obviously :D), So what are you waiting here for if you can check that out :wtf:

[polydrawer]

i have desided to take drawing more serious and take more time to create more correct figures.

ive taken a look at the gesture dvd that vilppu made and started to experiment with the technique , these are the results for today

http://share.digicomm.be/sketch_29_5.jpg

c&c more then welcome

[Jushra]

first i'm gonna say study anatomy and foreshortening. next tho, imma say its good to see new artists developing and i encourage you to keep at it. keep posting.

[polydrawer]

tnx :) ive been drawing some more today
the head is my fathers drawn from a picture ive taken
the baby head is my little nephew, i was live drawing him but my sister left to early so i couldnt complete it :(

finally the abstract figure was some exercise in drawing 3d shapes

reworked the sketch

i would really like some critiques on this one
i want to get it as good as possible when it comes to perspective/ anatomy

[polydrawer]

for anyone who is intrested (dont see much comments in here :()

an update on my cow entry

http://share.digicomm.be/COW088_compo.png

[Migsta]

Reference is very helpful to getting believable anatomy. If the anatomy is off, anyone can tell even if they are not an artist. My best suggestion is to use reference, like for your latest COW entry...you could have used a piranha or angler fish reference so that you could have achieved a believeable head and then used some animal and/or fish reference for the rest...hope this helps.

[polydrawer]

tnx for the info i tried creating some creatures with reference :)
the proportions arnt realistic but there creatures for something right ^^

[Piranha Clan]

The cow entries are cool, but if you are going to take drawing seriously and try to improve, you need to do more figure studies. A lot more, as in everyday if possible. Really concentrating on the basics- anatomy, proportions, perspective, etc...will help you improve in every way. I would suggest putting the cows aside for a few months or so and concentrate on nothing but figure studies. It might get cumbersome but stick to it. Take some classes, get some books, or just draw what's around like you did with your father. That's where you're going to learn the most and the best. Best wishes :)

[the_allejo05]

nice..Piranha is right..until you master the human figure in is totality, the other studies could be done just for fun..once you can draw a human and paint its skin..everything else is a piece of cake.. ..i recomend you to copy some master drawings..they will teach tons..avoid photographs for now..

[polydrawer]

my study of the human muscles
the back part is drawn a little to much to the left so it isnt 50/50 as you can see

http://share.digicomm.be/anatomysketch1.png

im going to do some more anatomy sketches, my proportions on this one are wrong
i was to focused on the muscles so i forgot to build up the body in a proper way

http://share.digicomm.be/sketching216_big.png

[Jonas Heirwegh]

I suggest to listen to Piranha Clan and the_allejo05. I said it more then once, first learn the basics..
And more then a couple of sketches, fill a whole sketchbook with anatomy studies..I really dont think you'll improve your skills alot with the way you are trying now.

Just a tip.

Ow and btw, people are trying to give comments. A response would be nice, now it seems like you are ignoring them.

[polydrawer]

im following the advise you guys have given me and bought myself a sketchbook thats reserved for anatomy studies only

here are some facial studies ive drawn today

btw ill try to respond to comments next time, its not that i was ignoring them :)

[Jonas Heirwegh]

Nice, keep doing them;)

[polydrawer]

tnx ^^

in the mainwhile im watching some dvds on perspective/vehicle design by scot roberston. So afther watching one on hoovercraft design i tried to do some quick vehicle sketches with a marker
they are just to define some shapes so lateron i can draw them bigger/more detailed in perspective

http://share.digicomm.be/vehicle_2206.png

EDIT:a little bigger rework of one of the ships

[DeJakhalz]

Liking the eye and mouth studies very much. Defenitly see improvement here, but I would defenitly like to see more anatomy sketches. I know its more fun to draw stuff out of your imagination but you really can grow more on that aspect.

But good start man! Keep it coming I will be looking.

[polydrawer]

tnx for the comment
i am focusing on learning anatomy drawing so i can get beter at it :)

[polydrawer]

A few armstudies i did today

http://share.digicomm.be/armstudies.png

[polydrawer]

my first matte painting im still working on

http://share.digicomm.be/mattepainting3.png

[polydrawer]

after a period of not much drawing i decided to pick up my pencils again and go for it.
As you can see i still need to practice some more on my anatomy but ill just have to continue drawing if i want to get better at it :)

I really like the Cow 088 concept!
As for your cgs like http://share.digicomm.be/creatureconcept_3.png in your first post, try to avoid having plain default gradient backgrounds. Having brush strokes here and there at least makes it look less blatantly digital :)
Great stuff so far, keep us updated!

[Hyver]

try to do some *really* big drawings.. get rid of some of the symbols you tend to use (hands, eyes).. symbols are nice to use in say comic strip style stuff, but they can only get you so far.. they don't work in any given situation, you know what i mean?
mind the proportions of the bunny girl too, i think her legs are a bit too short

[Lyno]

Hi,

I hope to see some more environments :)
Keep up the good work and gl :)

[polydrawer]

tnx for the comments
and hyver i do understand what your saying, I'm going to try to put more realism in my handdrawn drawings.

here is a painting im working on at the moment and i still have some more environment studies i made for school that i will scan and post tomorrow.

Yet another school exercise, Design a tower like the Tower of Babel.
So i desided to go with the concept of atlantis and wrote this little story as a background story for my tower


Atlantis home of the Atlantians, one of the greatest empires the world has ever known.
The Atlantians were the chosen ones among mankind; they were gifted with knowledge to create superior technology and the strength to fight whoever wanted to take their divine existence.

The Atlantians were godlike and the decided there king should be equal to the gods and live among them, so they started building a tower so great that there king could watch over his people like the gods do over the world.

Zeus and the other gods were not so keen on the idea of a man living amongst them and started hating the Atlantians for wanting even more then the gods already gave them. On the day of completion of the tower when the king could get his first gimps of the gods Hades created a hole in the ocean, sucking entire Atlantis and his tower to the depths of the underworld leaving only the royal palace above water to remind the king that he was no more than a human and he never will be.

first of, thanks for visiting my sketchbook, mate, and second, well ... there isn't much for me to say except that I like what you're doing - you're one of the better artist in DAE and I hope to see a lot more of ya hanging on the walls of classroom 207 :p

Cya and perhaps 'till we meet in real life :p

great stuff in this thread though, keep up the work, its really cool abstract stuff

[RandAlThor]

Hey Raven, cool sketchbook you have going here..

I did a little paint over to show you what i mean when i say that you haven't quite got the 'personal triangle' of the babies face. Its a common trick when painting portraits to maintain a resemblance to note the triangle that is formed by the pupils and the spot below the nose. This is different and unique on each person you see. Apparently this triangle also never changes shape that much as we age, that why you can still recognize someone after a period of time....

Any ways. keep up the good work dude ;-)

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y193/RandAlThor05/ravenpaintover.jpg

[polydrawer]

tnx for the comment, i didn't know that one about the triangle :)
I am going to do some real face/anatomie studies from now on and maybe paint some more from reference along the way.
I really appreciate the comments so keep them coming so i can get much better at drawing and painting

i'll scan the lifedrawings next week :)

[Jens]

Hey ravenslayer, nice sketchbook, don't remember if I ever left you a comment :)

If I can give you some very important advice.. draw more from life, a lot more. I know, it's what everyone sais. But noone does it. You should draw from life every spare second you got. On the bus, while you're on the phone, waiting for the train. That should be the way you live. When I meet new people in school, they always say, hey you're the one who's always drawing. That's who you gotta be :)

Where do you got to school btw?

[polydrawer]

tnx for the tip jens :)
I doodle to much in my free time, usually things i don't post here but i'll try to do what you say and draw more of the people and things that are around me ^^
I'm following DAE at the moment because it teaches me the things i enjoy doing, but a side effect of that is that i also get courses i don't like doing or I'm not very good at.

I was searching for another school some months back because i wanted to focus more on the drawing aspect but i couldn't really find one here in belgium that really focuses on drawing, usually the drawing aspect is a side course that doesn't get that much attention.

anyway thanks for dropping by and for the useful information :)

[Grafguy]

Hi raven, ive already seen ur stuff on DAExp.
U have a cool style of drawing.
But I wonder if it was ment to have the warriors mace floating above his shoulder instead of having it rest on it?

[polydrawer]

here's the painted version on my warior
http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/3395/aztekwip2ss7.jpg

graf tnx for the comment :) and yes it was intended to have it "floating" in the air but i could have made it more realistic looking by making it rest on the shoulder.

but there's more that's off with the anatomy so i'll put more effort in my drawing the next time i have to draw a character

[Master Chill]

Heya there,

same as with Jens, dunno if I ever posted a comment before or something - too lazy to check mate :) - anyways, been searching for some DAE'ers around here and stumbled across your sketchbook too - thats some NICE coloring with the aztec warrior mate - looks really authentic tmo - keep up the good stuff and see you tomorrow in class then ^^

cheers

[polydrawer]

Pff even tough it's "vacation" over here for 2 weeks, i dont get much time to draw. Coding sucks up time and highpoly 3d modeling isn't a 5 second job either :p.
Here are a few robot speed"designs" i did for a new assignment for school
Subject: create a non humanoid/non transformer like/animal inspired but it cant be an animal type of robot

I'm going to do a bunch more of these and see were it takes me
the first two are my favorites at the moment so ill maybe make some variations on those too

[Jonas Heirwegh]

When your having troubles with perspective just use a basic shape. for example the last one is totally out of perspective. just draw a basic shape for the head and make it more complex along the way.

Also dont ignore joints, joints can give alot of character to a robot, just draw a cilinder to start with for joints.

Play more with the shapes, top heavy, bottom heavy, big bulky or sharp and slik, etc...

I would also suggest to make a ref sheet ;)

Some links that could be helpfull:
http://www.androidworld.com/prod29.htm
http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/leglab/robots/robots.html
http://www.atk.com/Customer_Solutions_AmmunitionSystems/cs_as_gs.asp

http://www.robotsltd.co.uk/Fanuc-M6i.htm
http://www.fanucrobotics.com/

Research is really key.

What is gonna be the function of your robot? Believe it or not but that question is gonna make your life alot easier. Form follows function, once you know the purpose of your robot and you do research for that specific purpose it will be alot easier to pump out ideas.
I'm not saying its gonna be easy, but it will be less difficult ;)

good luck.

[Maerrick]

oh man i'm loving those anatomy studies! i can see your not afraid to tackle them, so keep at it! i love those stick figure w/ only rib cage and pelvic discs. are those from loomis anatomy books? if not go on ebay and buy loomis's anatomy books!

[mysteryofalbesila]

great sketches and speedpaintings

[polydrawer]

Tnx for the advice epias
The refsheet is a really good idea and making as we speak ^^

I didn't want to choose a function to early because i tought it would narrow my options down for a design but maybe thats a good thing.
Oh yeah your 100% right on the perspective thing, i tend to trow away the basic rules when painting quick and that is one of the many things i shouldn't be doing.

Maerrick: tnx, they buildup of those stick figures are indeed inspired by the Loomis books. I like them allot because the dont take much time and really define the pose perfectly. I do have to do some more of them and more life drawing in general.

mysteryofalbesila: Tnx, still have allot to learn but i'm working on it :D

You should ALWAYS have a purpose or function in mind! :) As a concept designer you want to communicate something, you want to tell a story.

Your design choices are always based on the things you want to communicate or the story behind what you are trying to communicate.
That doesnt mean you have to make it complicated, it can be as simple as I want a military looking mech that has a specific purpose on the battlefield, and your design should reflect that.
Its good sometimes to just doodle random stuff, but for a project it isnt always helpfull.
Anyway just something to think about.

good luck

oooh you're working hard! cool man, i like all the anatomy practice. for the movie still you might want to find some scenes with more extreme lighting, it's easier to understand things when they're a bit more visible.

[polydrawer]

tnx :) i do my best drawing and painting as much i can but its still not enough in my opinion, to much todo for school

here is my redesigned robot paint

the robot looks cool, i wish u good luck with it in 3D
with the indian girl, the legs bother me. but thats not so important :p
the designs look so... brown :D but I guess non off us can avoid that

cheers

[polydrawer]

tnx for the comments
yeah the indians look brown but its just the way those clothes were i think :p

[joaKimArt]

The three-wheel-robot looks nice! But the metal is not so convincing. Polish it. And a stronger yellow and strong blue will give a better effect. And switch the colour in the rusty/damaged parts to other then blue, but brown or the like with some light edges. And make he whole piece clearer - take a way the blur. Plus give it some shadow, especially on the wheels. The lights on the arms should reflect light on the metal edges, not just a round circle.

Keep it up!

[polydrawer]

tnx for the comment joaKimArt, the robot paint was more of a quick visualisation which i didnt want to spend to much time on because of all the work that was still ahead.

for anyone whos interested here are some of the renders (click image for more (http://leslievdb.blogspot.com/2008/05/multimania-racerepairbot.html))

and here's a design for the madmax women i did just now, still searching for interesting designs :)

http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/9080/judyip1.png

[Grafguy]

that last one looks promising ^^
but there is one thing that bothers me :p
all the attributes on her look as if they are just layed on top of it, not as if they are part of the character and go along with the shape of the body.

keep up the good work, im really curious with what the 'better' artist of DAE are coming up with. Cheers!

[HunterKiller_]

Thanks for checkin' out my SB.

First of all, you're doing the right types of drawing, which is really important.
Although, more observational drawing from life would be good.
It doesn't have to anything fancy, draw anything and everything, not only are you adding to your visual vocabulary, it's just always training your hand eye coordination.

I think something you should try is blind contour drawing.
Sit down, pick an object and draw it without looking at the page.

This exercise really trains you to see and draw things as how they are, rather than the preconceived image in your head.

Anyway, keep doing what you're doing. You're on the right track.

Amazing stuff here raven, though I'm not sure what your studding at

neat. Any way your last WIP scared me off from making any crits cause its just
so dam good, maybe the right eye is a tad off but its friken amazing the colours
everything man. Keep it up!

[polydrawer]

tnx remmy, i'm actually studying Digital arts and entertainment.
Its a course to become a technical artist, so i get to do drawing, 3d and programming.
It isnt that easy to combine the artistic with the more technical but its doable so far :).

btw i'm far from having no crit works (is any work ever without a flaw?) :P

Hey raven! you're getting alot better. i really like your last digital drawing of the monster. but i think you could add some (slijmerige :p ) highlights. A great tutorial about it is from over rendering flesh.
Keep it up man , you're improving alot!

[polydrawer]

My first practice with acryl paint, I never really did do any traditional painting and thought lets give it a go.

So i went out and bought myself 2 starterkits(atleast i think it are) 1 acryl and 1 oilpaint. I figure it wont be the best quality paint that i'm using since it was like 7 euro a kit which has 12 tubes of paint and 2 brushes.
So i started with the acryl since i read its the best one to start out with and i tried to paint something to see how the paint reacts.

anyway here it is, aint much but it's a start i guess :s
http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/7861/acrylpaint1zk3.jpg

[kelly x]

Good update - your work is getting better, I know these are quick but I think you should work on the mushy paint problem and clear lines, they will read better. I like this last girl she is starting to rock, her eyes are crooked - I like the eyes you did in some of the sketches, they are pop-eyes! cool style you are starting to form.

[polydrawer]

tnx kelly, yeah i should spend some more time on make my paints cleaner noted and ill work on it
apart from that im also doing anatomy studies now since my exams are finally done but i could resist doing this new doodleguy

Hi ravenslayer, really nice quantity of work you got here. I love post #140 very much :D. (edit: one little crit maybe; his eyes look a little bit to "glassy". The highlights are very strong) The pastels are very well done too. How much time did you spend on these if I may ask?

The valuestudy is also cool but her right side a little bit rushed. No big deal really.
Anyway, no crits, just keep this nice sb up ;)!

Do you mean updates in general or on the paint?, i decided to use the paint above as a final because i now know the bigger flaws in the piece.
I would have to redo the entire paint and because of a lack of time (i'm still following the entire DAE curriculum btw) i wasn't able to do that, but for my next paints i now know what to think about before i start the painting process.

nice z brush stuff, that torso could use some smoothing on top of those clay tubes tho , but nice anatomy on it, and i really dig that akuma head. I think the Hans Teeuwan portrait is the best one because of the way its painted, the brush strokes seem to be more opaque and less layered than the others , also the range of tones is a lot better. Keep it up

[Writerof]

Hiya poly,

A few remarks and Kudo's

anatomy wise you could use some work. Don't fret! youre still better then me!

Greets,

my version of the little mermaid paint i started working on

http://i39.tinypic.com/sfw9op.jpg

[Jonas Heirwegh]

Nice one!

I would suggest to brighten up the whole thing a bit, its a bit to dark overall...
Crop the right side a bit for a better composition.

Keep it up!

[polydrawer]

tnx epias
did what you suggested ^^

hey some interesting stuff. i love the digital sculps. especially the will smith one that looked cool.
last piece is coming along, personaly i liked the burning ship in the background, added some cool drama and interesting light. I'm a big fan of drastic shadow so for me with the mermaid one you could maybe add some darker more drastic and defining shadow it may seem to give the people a more physical edge and bring them out, the smudging, almost but not quite makes the image abit flat, anyway its coming along nice!

[polydrawer]

tnx m8 did some updates ^^

[Lyno]

Very cool stuff polydrawer :). Just asking, is this image at 100%? Cause you have some nice details going.

Keep it up!

[polydrawer]

tnx lyno, the original size is 3496x1941.
it's much easier suggesting details on such a resolutions then pixelpushing on a resolution that is 3x smaller

[Tofa]

what do u use the for 3d? zbrush? i started learning maya a while back but found it too cumbersome.

[polydrawer]

i use 3DS max and for the sculpts above zbrush, zbrush is really great for organic stuff you can get some awesome results very fast

i think this is going to be my final for this paint

You got mad Zbrush skills. Good job on the Brad Pitt one. The Will Smith one is good but needs some more tweaking to make him look more like Will Smith. The sea monster one is really good too but there seems to be a gap between your sculpting skills and your drawing skills. You might want to give that some more attention. Drawing from life is key.

Anyways dude, keep up the art work!
