That’s way cool Mu! Big improvement! We want more! :drool:

#83

“So…”, you wonder, “… what on earth is this?” I did some more gestures and all of a sudden felt like just following no system at all. I slightly overreacted, so to speak…

Now, it was fun, but I also felt it is about time to return to my normal ways of logical deduction, Watson,:wise: and that’s why I ordered the Da Vinci edition of the Master Draughtsmen series to start doing master copies.

Hope it arrives faster than Painter(still waiting), though (it ships from NY and the price is twice as high as in the U.S…:rolleyes: )

#84

nice gestures mr. mu! hope your book comes without problems, i’d love to see master copies from you :slight_smile:

#85

Today I noticed it might take a few weeks til my book arrives from NYC so I did some more gestures.

By now I figured I could also look for masterdrawings on the net (duh!) so that’s the next thing I will do (probably…)

I only like the one in the upper right corner:

figured I should try different proportions, too

extreme perspective I

extreme perspective II

#86

Nice work, Mr. Mu! :thumbsup:

I remember my first breakthrough like this…it felt really great! I finally felt as though I understood the secret to figure drawing, and I probably cackled a little maniacally…ahem :scream:

Great stuff, keep up the good work! :slight_smile:

Cheers,

first mastercopy.

many things wrong here (angles/proportions), but I figured I will do better with mileage under my belt so I quit it and let it be a start.

I downloaded 45 master drawings by Raffael and Da Vinci tonight…

#88

Hey Mr. Mu ^^

Just dropping in to say that you’ve really improved throughout this thread, the proportions aswell as general presentation of your sketches :slight_smile:

I especially like the collection of poses two posts above, the different proportions ones are very nice aswell as the extreme perspective - although in the extreme perspecive II on the right I think the guys legs should be a tad shorter? anyway, keep up the good work!

Hi Rebecca!

thanks for dropping by - I really appreciate this as I know you are not left with much time now.
It’s cool to read you consider this a breakthrough and I guess you are right. I just felt much more confident with the drawings on this page than with anything I did before. I do have a good foundation to build on, now.
Also, my loosening up can be considered a breakthrough for all of us, I suppose?:scream: Much less german decision deadlocks…:smiley:

Elsie! You know I absolutely admired your work in the OFDW12 and felt so glad on your behalf for the frontpage plug you received! And that’s why I really appreciate your leaving a comment here. As for the legs: I am the wrong person to ask, really:scream:, but I guess you are right. I shall get better. Thanks again!

Hi Mr. Mu

Rebecca pointed me in the direction of your thread as im currently taking her class at the moment.

Its really nice to see your overall progress doing so many master copies and gestures really seems like the best way to improve.

Keep up the good work…:thumbsup:

Woody

[left]Hi Mr. Mu,

your gestures become ever better and your line too (and more sicherer). Fleißig, fleißig der Herr. :slight_smile:

ravena!

irgendwie ist das schön, mal auf Deutsch gelobt zu werden…:slight_smile:

woodyradica!

great you joined her class! Judging from last workshop’s results which were posted in this forum you will be doing great things soon and I am looking forward to your drawings!

I decided to join the Storyreel Micro Challenge which was introduced in the DSG. The goal is to do an animatic for a chase scene. I chose the Matrix script and will do the very first chase scene (with sexy trinity in her tight leather suit:drool: )
I never did a storyboard before, but as I dream of one day being able to create 2d-Animations I just had to take part.

This will maybe delay my mastercopies a bit, but I might squeeze some in if I get things done quick…

C&C always welcome, esp. from storyboard experienced fellow artists.

#93

Nice stuff so far, Mr. Mu! I’ve alerted the proper authorities (Kirt) :smiley: so let’s see if he makes an appearance. :slight_smile: Looks like you’re putting some of his “Simple Theories” exercises to good use! :thumbsup:

Cheers, :slight_smile:

Hard to give a good crit from just two panels, but here you go …

Loose the gritty texture and use flat shades if you want to communicate more info about your scene to the viewer. You can use special textures and effects when you doing the film. But for storyboards, simple and neat is much more effective.

#95

Oh Wow!
Kirt, thanks for taking a look at this, and I agree, it’s not very much to see.

I will give those two the flat shade treatment as you suggested and will repost them. You (and others, too ) might check out my appropriate thread for the challenge in the storyboard forum, as I might enlarge upon what the heck I was thinking more over there.

Thanks again, Kirt, appreciate every bit of help!

…and thanks Rebecca for leading the firefighters the right way:scream:

#96

Ha!!! I’ll go the check out your thread now. :slight_smile:

Cheers, :slight_smile:

#97

quick update with the suggested flat shades. The shots read much better now, thanks Kirt!

I will do the sketches in Artrage as I like its pencil and flatshade it in Artweaver…

#98

Yes :thumbsup:
Much easier to see what’s going on now.

#99

aaaaand another one. God, seven days are short. I have a whole fight scene to do before I will be able to do the chase itself (challenge topic)…:eek:
