oo, hello everyone. I am starting this sketchbook to dig more into my figure skills!. This will be dedicated to figures/character design and won’t bother with other little things I get upto in the dark. Crits and Comments are always welcome.

   Will kick off with some scribbles from past week

bumskee,

What a coup! As you know, I am a big admirer of your artwork.

One thing I notice with respect to your figures is the ethereal elongation which you lend them. In some cases I think it works, and in other cases, for my personal taste, it goes just slightly too far for the figures to be totally believable. Having said that, your gestural experimentation is in some cases sublime, and I would love to see your further explorations of the sense of brushwork in your figures.

As well, you know I’d always be happy to see a Tutorial from you. :smiley:

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

You are a beast!

I love the silhouettes, amazing.

#7

You call them “scribbles”? You should see my scribbles :banghead:
Nice work!

How much time did you spend on each of them?
And how long have you been drawing?

Cheers
Julian

Rebeccak, THanks!! yeah I do tend to stretch things out a little too far… i think that’s what u meant right? well still studying heaps and trying to get my figures right… of course more dynamic poses… body types… bleh… tooo much to study up. heh cheers, Min

erilaz, haha martin!! i bet you are doing ur 100 like crazy now. hehe cheers man

Cyanid, thanks!

razz, thanks mate

trainee, heh, well they are pretty sketchy…
about 1 hrish… but some took longer like the last two… a little more worked up I guess.
been drawing for sometime now… cheers,

me, martine and knoxie decided to do 100 gestures… yeah it was alright, I had a head start… martin is still doing it now…hehe knoxie went to bed… ha!
but yeah…here’s my 100… took between 2~10 mins… depending on poses… some were harder and some were easy… No refs just wanted to play around I guess. Tried some dynamic poses too, mixed up some male ones… I usually do females… heh.

saved at around 60% of the size I drew them in PS…

ooop sorry for the image size, cheers, Min

Wooah, that’s the stuff I should do myself! A great practise. Lots and lots of gestures. Amazing poses, Bumskee. Inspired me a lot with these.

Glad to see you back with this new work. Would love to see more from you.

I realised I wasn't pushing it enough.... this body type really had be bogged down... kinda annoyed at not being able to freely draw them, I decided to do some hogarth studies... still treating them as gestures, stick figures or whatever you want to call it... keeping it pretty simple..

abyss103, thanks, there’s gesture TD in ca… we had 100 p/w, 200 last week…probably like 50 this week tho… you should check it out. cheers

shyamshriram, hahaha thanks man! been admiring your stuff for sometime mate!

-voraz-, go for it, tho I do suggest you look at the book coz mine’s not accurate or correct enough I believe. cheers!

errm these are 200 gesture TD… More of Hogarth studies, sorry to bore you with these… I sort of went through the book now, but might go again… kinda feel like I learnt heaps…and kinda feel like I forgot most…shrug

Well it was 200… and I sort of decided to do some quick fashion studies… It did feel real fun doing them… so many ideas and stuff… but can’t remember shit now… :S should definitely do more…a little more detailed tho…

Some character quickies… girls again… scribbling not thinking too much… was kinda of relaxing too… I should really do some b&w or something… hopefully soon.

cheers!

Hey Mintastic,

I have to say that I really like the delicacy with which you infuse your sketches, I think your style is distinct and I think that as you get more expressive with your linework you’ll be a draughting force with which to be reckoned. :wink:

I give you these lovely asspats to drive you from your natural state of emo :wink: - keep up the good work, emo boy! :slight_smile:

#19

Hey Nuna! hahah thanks for the kind words… you are tops! hope you are doing well.
oh and I am not that emo :stuck_out_tongue: I am more “sensitive” haha oh god

some more scribbles…

cheers Min!
