I think You need go to work on developing your painting of the human body .........That is only my personal opinions.......anyway.....you need more the painting from life and often Practice......Don't give up and keep it up.........:bounce: :bounce: ........

Most of your drawings lack a sense of depth or 3D form, you can easily work on that though. Try sketching everyday objects and figures using only simple 3D shapes like cylinders, squares/rectangles and spheres, drawing the whole shape in 3 dimensions, not just the lines that define the shape from your perspective.

Heres an image i googled up, maybe not the best example but you get the idea...
http://community.conceptart.org/gallery/I/2005/01/01/28819.jpg

This approach is sometimes called drawing with the building blocks of form. It looks like you used this a little in your 3rd image, and your 'digital work' image, but you need to practise it allot more.

Remember that good drawing is NOT about having the 2D lines 'in the right place' as a copy of the outline of a person or the shape of an eye or whatever. It's about capturing/finding/exploring the 3 dimensional - form - of something that’s real, which has weight and shadow and tone, and actually exists in the real world.

You need to invest allot of time in this if you want to become good. If you only have a week i would suggest practising as much as possible then select the 4 or 5 best ones for resubmission. Only show your very best work. If your struggling with drawing basic forms then it's probably not a good idea to try and design a concept character and draw it from different angles, just work on sketching real life objects.

Pay particular attention to tone. Almost all of your work has inconsistent shading, you cant clearly tell where the light source is coming from, and this detracts from your work. Practice rendering light and shadow on the basic building blocks of form first before you move onto faces, figures etc.

example:
http://www.learn-to-draw-and-paint.com/drawing-basic-forms.html
It might seem simple but trust me it helps so much.

Hope that wasn't to harsh.

PS, good luck! The car in your CG portfolio looks amazing. :)

I have no idea what the Gnomon standards are, check out the link in my signature to conceptart.org though, it's the best 2d website IMO where you can also showcase your traditional art, paintings, and sketches in the sketchbook forum. You'll get very good critique there too, send me a message when you set up your sketchbook there. Good luck!

rabjir: Ask the mods of this site to move this thread here: http://forums.cgsociety.org/forumdisplay.php?f=200

and keep adding new material as you create it.

Cheers,

You ought to purchase Glenn Vilppu's DVD on gesture drawing. He's an absolute master, and has taught animators and artists for generations how to draw. The website isn't great, but you can see some of his work and purchase his DVDs / VHS tapes here:

http://www.vilppustudio.com/

You want to get gesture and movement, long lines going on in your drawing:

EDIT - also, what city are you in in India? Siju is in Chennai I believe:

http://thomasphoenix.cgsociety.org/gallery/409050/

he teaches (or taught) figure drawing.

Along with Vilppu's gesture DVD, I highly recommend this book:

Practice Ryder's block in method, it's terrific.

You know, it's all about sheer repetition... we can get something in our short time memory quite fast, but to get knowledge in our longterm memory usually is a lot harder.

I think you are practicing a lot and it really shows.
I think you can shade this arm just fine but you are lacking confidence to do so.
Just start hatching and think about the forms. Look up a picture of an arm on internet or in a good anatomy book if you have doubts :)

Challenge yourself! Don't be afraid to screw up a drawing... if you look at every piece you make as an exercise, you will be able to do this more easily. If you dó screw up, just put it aside and start all over again. We all learn from your mistakes.
Keep working hard, the reward will be worth it!

Good luck!

[rajbir]

ok a new sketch finally , and got admission in to gnomon for wha ti have been struggling from a long time.
