PlusCandy- Sketchbook

Please go to the last page to see my most recent stuff~ >>Last Page<<


Well I figure I will start a Sketchbook now... Im finding this site is helping me alot.. and having somewhere to update my current studies will really help me stay motivated!

I guess I should introduce myself! Im a 20 year old female in canada~ I have never truly taken my art seriously and would like to start doing so~ Thanks to this site Ive been actually really trying for the first time in my life. (not that thats long) Oh and I mostly tend to do anime art... so you might find some of that here! but Ill be doing lots of realistic stuff as well to improve my understanding!

Im mainly going to be updating with lots of Sketches and studies in my struggle to get better~ So thank you for taking the time to look if you do!

Hello, miss! Welcome

I like where this is going... The apple turned out quite well, though the shadow is a bit extreme and would look a little nicer if you could tell it was resting on that cloth surface as opposed to floating in front of it.

Off to a healthy start! Show us more!!

One thing I noticed at first glance is the lack of reflected light in the apple. I totally had no idea when I first joined in here, but it gives so much mre depth. Because the light shining from the right, reflects on the cloth and then on the apple, giving the back just a tad of light.

Keep going.

You show great potential so far. Your sketches of full bodies, as well as the hands are solid. And looking through again just solved the main critique I was going to give you about eyes. Keep up the studies, they're paying off.

But other than that looks real nice!

migueldsgn~ aww thank you! as far as the hair I can try to tell you however I tend to just do it and not think about the steps and Im bad with words...

anyway... I normally start with basic line art and a base color then on another layer do 3-5 different shades darker then the base in strands.... (of hair?) on another layer I color the area in black that I want as shadows from my main light source... then change the opacity to 15-4% depending on how dark I want it... for the highlights i just kind of scribble in a color thats lighter then the base color then erase what dosent look good and the erase some of the darker colors to show more of the base color around the highlights... I think thats about it... sorry Im not to helpful~

I think Its done now... still need to improve alot but Im still happy with it... oh and some hands holding pens!O.o

I sense a great deal of improvement about to come to you from doing these basic value studies. Stay awake and aware of what you're doing and once you have a good idea, stretch it a bit further!
