Sketchbook Thread of Krispee

razz: thanks for coming over and looking at my work, i have an eclectic sense of style, i like rather odd things i guess lol, perhaps that`s why i like drawing these strange characters.....but i do need to get better at working like that in colour, lots to learn yet, so much more......and it`s also nice to learn with others doing Rebecca`s 50 head study and OFDW studies, that`s been great, and you get to meet other artists as well.......

anyway i`m doing this digital painting of a friend of mine who lives in Hong Kong......i`ll post all the wip`s just in case anyone`s interested.....





long way to go yet.....

anyway, nice to meet you, Razz.....enjoyed looking through your work....

krispee,

It's great to hear about your background, and I chuckled at the 'multipronged attack' bit ~ indeed it's important to develop your artistic skills on multiple fronts at once, there's just not enough time to refine each area to perfection before moving on ~ so it's great to see you exploring multiple avenues simultaneously.

The main thing that will help you on all fronts in figure drawing ~ do you have access at all to live model workshops in your area? A lot of community colleges tend to have relatively inexpensive ongoing figure drawing sessions. I definitely encourage you to check out your local area to see if any are available.

Cheers,

nest wip...managed a little more work....



rebecca: i`ve done some figure drawing with live models, but there isn`t a great deal around in this area, not close by anyway, and as i live a little out in the country that`s important.......having joined a nearby town art society i`m hoping that it may lead to doing more figure drawing in the future, hoping to make some contacts etc, maybe in the autumn......it`s something i do need to do i agree, just haven`t had the opportunity for a year or 2.....

I totally understand ~ I haven't done life drawing for quite a while myself.

Looks like your painting is going well so far ~ will be great to see how it develops.

But your doodles are a real surprise for me...looove them , simple, convincing and soo adorable ...
Hope to see more soon!

Have a nice day!

Hey Chris

thanx for the kind words in my sb.

You wip is coming along nicely - like the colours you've decided to use; and the doodles are very imaginative - remind me of Tim Burton's stop-motion works. Great peronalities, well represented.

keep 'em coming man
ciao

You really know how to use a pencil. I like the way your sketches look, good use of darker and lighter lines. Funny and with a great style. But I like the face which is more realistic the most. You know, I'm more into that side The painting is coming along nicely. Great job!

Your WIP is delveloping very nicely. I like it!

ok, just a quick update on the WIP......




will try and get to post some other stuff and answer things and such soon....

kris

This has come along very nicely, and you have captured the light extremely well..nice going Kris.

cheers, Mark, i`m going to call it quits at this stage, someone over at A&A mentioned keeping the background loose and girl tight i`m going to do just that.....
