Hi there, these are nice sketches.
I'm not in a position to give you any useful crits at this point but I am in a position to say "great work and hopefully we will see more of you soon"

[Rebeccak]

Gisaiagami,

Welcome. :) I am glad to see you start a sketchbook here. I think what you want to try to achieve in your work is volume and realism. I would recommend that you try some Master Copies from this thread:

Anatomy Lesson Series: Body Part 1 - The Head (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=375031)
http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=375031

and / or Master Copies from this Workshop, which is currently ongoing:

Anatomy Lesson Series: Body Part 2 - The Torso (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=405198)
http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=405198

I think that doing Master Copies will really help you toward your goals. I look forward to seeing your work. :)

Gisaiagami,

I really recommend getting a book such as:

Drawing the Human Head (Paperback) by Burne Hogarth (http://www.amazon.com/Drawing-Human-Head-Burne-Hogarth/dp/0823013766/sr=8-4/qid=1160606739/ref=pd_bbs_4/104-2447561-0975162?ie=UTF8)

You can also get Andrew Loomis books here. (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showpost.php?p=3809007&postcount=11)

Hello, Gislaine.

I am happy to see you posting your work. Take some time to go through some of the other people's threads in this forum. You will see everyone is at varying levels. Most of us are trying to do some of the workshops (http://forums.cgsociety.org/forumdisplay.php?f=199). Rebecca has really put together some remarkable ones. You might try some of them, too.

Hi Gisa.

Grat work so far. There´s a lot of good things about it.

Try to use the Loomis´s schemas as base to draw the heads found in:
Anatomy Lesson Series: Body Part 1 - The Head (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=375031)

I´m a beginner artist, but you can have a better undertanding in my last sketch.
You can find it HERE (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=418169). I hope it helps.

I look forward to seeing more work. Keep going.

Hi Gisa,

I have a recommendation - why not try copying the eye demo I did here:

Hi.

The link to the Anatomy Threat takes you to a page full of image thums of heads.
Choose a image head from the list, find its corresponding information, click in the link: >>SEARCH FEATURE OF THE WEB GALLERY OF ART<< (http://www.wga.hu/index1.html) , click in the search button and enter the title and/or author of the selected image.

Gisaiagami,

A book I would really recommend that you look for is this:

The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain (http://www.amazon.com/New-Drawing-Right-Side-Brain/dp/0874774195/sr=8-1/qid=1162311802/ref=sr_1_1/102-3229837-1067303?ie=UTF8&s=books)
by Betty Edwards (http://www.amazon.com/New-Drawing-Right-Side-Brain/dp/0874774195/sr=8-1/qid=1162311802/ref=sr_1_1/102-3229837-1067303?ie=UTF8&s=books)

I'm pointing you to the amazon.com link, but I'm sure that you can find a translated / Portuguese version, as this book is really a classic. :)

Once you find the book (either in a library or store or online) I recommend going through all of the exercises - they will really help you to build spatial and observational skills, which is of course key to drawing. I think you'll really get a lot out of this book, if you read and follow the exercises. :)

Cheers,

-Rebeccak

[Gisaiagami]

hi rebeccak
I caught this book with a friend, translated into the Portuguese
Still I am having difficulties in the first exercises, mainly to draw upside-down. We go to see if I carry through the desire to learn Many had spoken of it as being excellent.

[Rebeccak]

I would say to just take your time with the book - learning how to draw can be a very slow, difficult process, and there is no need to rush - why not post the results of your exercises here? Mainly that might help you to really do the exercises, which are incredibly useful - and they are really the first step.

Looking forward to seeing your exercises. There is also this Workshop here based on the book:

BEGINNERS' Drawing Workshop - Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=269026)

Hi, Gislaine.

I'd like to second Rebecca's suggestions with doing all the exercises in Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. Some of the things the book asks you to do may feel or seem odd, but there are very good reasons for trying each exercise.

You have gotten into a formula for what and how you draw. It's a very common thing, but it can keep you from going beyond what has become comfortable for you. This is really a great opportunity for you to try new things in a community who is very open to helping and encouraging you.

We all have things to learn. That's why I do my anatomical studies in this forum, too. Rebecca is a great teacher and gives so much of her time to any of us willing to invest time to improving our art.

You have done some really cool stuff, Gislaine. I promise you, if you keep working at this and remain open to the exercises and suggestions, in a year, you will see such a difference.

I look forward to seeing your work here, my friend.
Cris

[NR43]

Hi Gislaine,

I don't have the book you people are talking about, but since it is a classic, I'm very curious to see what kind of exercises are in there.
Could you show us a few please?
Since I'm rather novice I'm really curious about this :)

thanks in advance

[Devil-inside]

Hey, Gisa!
It's good to see you here, girl!

All the advices that Rebbeca and Cris gave you are extremelly precise, so I don't have anything more to say about your drawings, girl, except, keep trying with all your will power. Drawing is an ability that we develop with dedication and hard work. You'll see the more you practice the better you'll become.

Be strong on your ideals!
Kisses,
Kim.

[slickgreekgeo]

Solid works, but I think you can improve more if you study the Loomis books. It helped me out a lot, so I highly recommend it.

[Shadowbrooke]

Hi Gislaine,

Wow I never knew there are more places for sketchbooks! These are really cool. I'm posting here one page from Loomis book for you :)

Hope it helps. Keep up the good work and I'd love to see more sketches :)

Hi!
Drawing anatomy is probably the most difficult (that's why I am most on environments...even if I try sometimes to include characters) so, I would encourage you.

We can see in your drawings that you have abilities with expressive details. I suggest you to not concentrate on that first. You've also to keep in mind that body is made of articulated geometric volumes. It easy to say and difficult to manage, I know:)
I had an experience with clay modeling and when I draw bodies, I tries to remember that feeling...have you ever try too?
What I wanted the most was to encourage you, hope it works a bit!
bye

Very nice studies of eyes - I think it's a really good idea to focus on individual features like this. Keep going! :)

I am finding prolongated excessively the head. It is a constant problem, exactly making the construction lines.

[Shadowbrooke]

Hi Gislaine :)

Wow you're making great progress! The facial alignments look much better and the eyes studies look great. Keep up the good work :applause:

[Cris-Palomino]

Glad to see you keep working at all of this, Gislaine. Part of the reason I think you have a bit of disassociation from what you study and what you draw, is that you llke a type of figure that is a stylization.

As you learn to understand the real thing, you will have an easier time applying the information to the stylization. Even when I draw a character like Eeyore, i keep in mind the way an elephant moves for when I pose Eeyore. I have a fat little toddler in mind when I draw Pooh. The cartoons/illustrations we do are abstractions of the real thing in some way if they are going to be successful. Even the most cartoony of pictures is based on mannerisms the cartoonist observes and gets across with body language.

The more you work at it, the closer you will get to the AHA! moment and things will begin to fall into place.

Keep at it, Gislaine. I'm really proud of you for persevering.
Cris

[Gisaiagami]

Chris, that is half complicated. I generally use photos also. But exactly thus the drawing if distorts as by chance.
something is involuntary. I adore the realism. But everything seems to distort of course.
As example this is a study based on the studies of the book of the Loomies, of head
The style cartoo remains same that I have attemped to make a realistic head.
Some angles are complicated and I did not obtain to make. E the drawing always goes pra right superior part. I tried to make two to master CoPy without success due to this estilization
I am reading the book of the Betty but also I did not obtain to execute the exercises
My study basead in Loomies, the style of bok is very difficult for me

Hi Gisaiagami, :)

Keep at it! I love the feature studies you did, especially the eyes. Very nice. The head tilt problem can be...problematic, I know heh. Maybe trying to flip the image horizontally may help. Also vertically. I can usually spot many errors with perspective and tilt that way.

Good Luck, and don't give up. Ciao

Nice progress with this latest set! :thumbsup: Keep going! :)

Hi sweetys

I am trying here to go for realism as I said Two first ones using reference photo.

[R-Russo]

Gisa,

In fact I don´t believe too much in talent. I think everybody who really wants to do something develops some kind of talent in this thing. What counts is the hard work. Train Hard. Never give up. I know a lot of people who didn´t know how to dral well, but today they are very good artists. My teacher itself is a good exemple. His previous drawings were awful.

I still can see a lot of progress in your drawings. Keep it up!

I recommend you to continue reading and doing the exercices of Drawing With The Right Side of the Brain. And if possible start doing some drawing classes.

Please. Never give up.

[Gisaiagami]

Hi sweetys
Debtor for all support. I am very happy with the aid of all
I have much difficulty with shade. but I decided to make some tests that not yet I finished to see if they give more depth

Gisaiagami,

Great progress here! Keep going! :)

[razz]

Hey, Gisaiagami, good practising, keep up with it. It's impossible to do too much of practise, so just keep going. Practise! It's what we are all doing here :)

[frostblade]

Try to think about the shape of each and every line/dot/mark of pencil you make on the paper.
Looks like you're pressing too hard, hold pencil too hard... not relaxed and flowing to draw these thing. Maybe even draw some things in a rush. Try to draw lighter lines then come back and darken them when it looks like they are in the right place.

When you draw a line, start it soft and gentle and then go a little bit firmer and then lift it to end it softy again. It's almost like swinging the fore arm and hand in a outward arc softly.

Next time when you sharpen your pencil; on spare paper you should polish the tip or grind it to an angle to help you make more desireable markings for drawing what you like.

[Gisaiagami]

thank you and sorry for delay in reply

[kayness]

Hello Gislaine!!!


You are improving each time you post here! As for your latest painting, I can see that your light comes from the right side, so the shadows should be on the left, so my suggestion would be painting moe shadows on her left side, and bascially just refine the shadings.

tis all good! keep practicing!

Kay

[SylvanMist]

Hi Gisaiagami!

Nice progress you're making here! I also agree with R-Russo, that "talent" is only gotten by doing hard work, practicing lots. It's not something you're born with.

A small critique on the girl with red hair you did:
Narrow the corners of the mouth more, the lips swoop down at an angle. Also take note on how the opening of the mouth is when closed. It not only bends down towards the center, but has a shape of it's own. If you'd like I can do a quick paint over for you to try and explain it better. Or you can get a photo ref too to see.

[Gisaiagami]

hi friends

Thank you a lot for you opnion. I restart the painting in this figure
Roja, yes, love paint over. And help me for a new painting in this image.

i would like of your opnions there :D

[SylvanMist]

Ok I hope this will help a little.
I'm no expert, if you want a really good paint over go and post in Stahlberg's thread, he's the master :)

What I did:
Made the nose a bit larger, added more curves(up/down/up/down) to the lips, Shaded the part of the nose between the eyes, it curves inward there and there's almost always a shadow at that area. Also shadowed in the parts between the nose & eyes more, the parts that cave into the eye sockets.
I think it also helps to draw the unseen parts, such as the ear and back of the head. Just draw a quick rough outline. This will give you a better idea of where to end the hair and such.
Oh and I also lowered the eyes too. I think they also may be a bit big, but if you're going for a more stylized look that should be ok, however I think you should decrease the size of the irises a bit nevertheless.

Anyway, if I didn't explain something well enough just ask, I have only done 1 other paint over in my life so I really don't have much experience in this :p

[NR43]

Hey Gisaiagami

don't get too discouraged now.

you're doing great. Just keep practicing every day. it doesn't have to be 4, 5 hrs but if you do something every day it will pay off in the end. Trust me.

Try to focus on the construction of the head. Have you heard of Andrew Loomis? He's got a really great book on it. There are links to his books for downloading somewhere on cgtalk. you'll find them easily with the search function of the forums.

check the first 20 pages or so of that book and start working on the basic shape of the head. don't worry too much about placing the facial features (eyes, nose, mouth). Be sure to read what he writes... don't just copy the sketches from the book. There is a system to learn here so what he explains is just as important as the sketches. Do these exercises for a while (say 2 months) and you will see how much you'll improve. Try to be patient. Learning to draw takes time. But make sure you draw every day, even if it is just for 30 minutes.

now pick up that pencil ;)

[SpiritDreamer]

Hi...Gisaiagami...:)

I just looked thrue your thread....can see a lot of progress in diferent areas along the way..which is great to see...:thumbsup:
I think that the main problem with the faces you are doing, is that they lack the bone structure that is under the skin...the bones are really important to know,..not just in the face, but the whole body.
The more you know and really understand about the bones that are under the skin, the easier it will be for you to draw and paint the face and figure...in any style that you choose :)
There is a great skull tutorial and exercise that Rebecca has in this forum...everyone who has done that exercise has made great progress in thier drawings and paintings of heads and faces afterwards, including myself.
That skull exercise is a very vital step in this learning journy that you are on,and is the most important step, when it comes to doing believable heads and faces, and for sure is one that should not be missed...Without doing that skull exercise, it is like trying to run, before you learn how to walk...you will continually fall, and get totally frustrated...just my opinion here, concerning heads and faces...:)
If you decide to do that skull exercise, do it in grayscale...no color...just concentrate on the full range of values...dark to light/light to dark...see if you can really carve it out of the darkness, or the light , using VALUES...:)
You might also take a look at the tutorial that Icey just created..on this forum somewhere...he does bones really good...then of course there is DR. BONES himself, who has a couple of threads in here somewhere..you will learn a lot about bones, and thier importance in the creation of figures from both of them, just by studying there threads..:)

Really looking forward to seeing more of your work, and progress..:thumbsup:

Gisaiagami,

I can't emphasize enough how much I think you'd benefit from doing grayscale studies at first - really focus on getting the form and depth to read! Try working on one extended painting, instead of doing fast sketches. I think you'll really benefit. :)

[Gisaiagami]

Hi dear friend
I no understand extended painting?
And It would very like to try to master CoPy but I do not know for where to start. I am trying to copy pictures but without solutions.

[Gisaiagami]

Some works trying to study and one concept of new clothes jedi for a friend that is to customer design that is design of fancies and makes university of audiovisual production with me :)

nice to see your work - getting down to the basics on the head :thumbsup:
I must say that I really like the whimsical feel of some of the drawing on page 1 - they remind me of Marc Chagall. Keep up the good work!

[kaladen]

Hello,
first, congrats for the work you have accomplished till the begining of this thread.
I 've done this little thing, may be it could help.

First, I think that you should try this method cause it gave great results to me
as well as many good painters here.

1 - draw the axis that guide your figure, shoulder line, arms, spinal column, pelvis.
2 - I see some proportions problems in your work, keep the head size as a guide,
human form is about seven and a half head, usually.
3 - pick a medium rouded brush and paint the volume from inside, forget the outlines
for a while. You will quickly see your form comes out.
4 - When you try to reproduce a model, a photo, don't forget to look at the holes
left by the model wich are very important. I painted them in red so you can see what
i'm talking about. Usually, you find them between the legs, the arms and the body.
Try to paint the neck by the hair behind it, and not paint the neck lines and the hair lines.
When you look at the photography and your painting, you will quickly see where are the mistakes looking at the "holes"
( I hope this is clear, it's hard to explain)
Here is an exemple of the result in 8 minutes and a half.

Gisaiagami:

I'm really glad to see the huge improvement you made from the beggining of your thread to your lasts posts, most of all in your paper drawings. About the tablet, it's really hard for me to draw properly on the Wacom too. I guess it's a matter of practise.
I wish I could give you a good advice, but I'm learning just as you're doing. I think kaladen told you all already.

Keep up the good work, my friend!

Cheers!

[TurbiX]

hey Gisa!!
Do you remember me? :)
I've watched all your sketchbook and i can see a lot of improvement!!
I really like your last sketches, your effort is paying off!
Keep practicing, i'll come back on every update, i'm learning too but maybe i can help you or just keep you motivating :)

[Rist]

In the last post with images I can see you put more time into these, and it SHOWS! I was a careless artist that did quick sketches because I was too impatient. These kind of studies should be saved for anatomy and outdoor life drawing. I think if you started to put hours into just one piece, it would really show. If you find it difficult, break the hours up into segments.

[Djampa]

Hi there !
How come you didn't show this sketchbook to me before ;)

Hey... nice to see your effort and improvement along time here.
Nice painting pieces you have here, keep it up.
What Fl3wk said about spending more time in one piece is totally true, keep up your efforts there.

My best wishes, cya (in a few mins :) )

[NR43]

You've been making a lot of progress since last year.

Keep paying attention to the alignment of the facial features, even when you are drawing a full figure.

I wish you would study more anatomy, it will allow you to draw better manga.

[Gisaiagami]

Turbix - Thank you a lot
I am not happy with my evolution =/
But..training...training..

Fl3wk thank you
I do not know if it would be patience. I spend hours, days, even though week. The attempt of a Japanese that I dispatched by post here already lasts 35 Hours without rightnesss. I have strengthenn.


Djampa thank you
You are having me visit in the CB. I did not forget. I go to catch in its foot hahaha

What problem:
While much study, I feel completely stopped. Without progress in painting and in drawing. I draw and paint 10 hours for day but I can not finish any of them.We sometimes claimed processes that try to follow and not. More recently tried the method shades of gray. Without success!
Now looking at the sketch of tasha (http://www.tascha.ch/) tried as from her. But the figure in some ways seems like a mass. And not like the paintings of her, or others artists. I would like to know more about blocar and what procedure to follow to finalize something decent.

This is a image test draw by my friend: Painting bay me =/ in progress

[Sky_Eagle]

your drawings are very good. Your digital work needs more practise but just remember one thing , when drawing in photoshop don't use the standard soft brush because it won't give you any texture, you should use hard brushes and speckled brushes , this will give you some texture and gives a sort of painterly feel to it.

[Gisaiagami]

Thank you Sky Eagle, I'm trying to improve the digital part exactly by the difficulty in painting. Thanks for the tips
