I’m calling it done. I’ve got to move on.

#102

Nice work. How long did it take you? Where do you get your reference?

#103

Thank you! I think this one in particular took somewhere around 2 1/2 - 3 hours. I actually look all over the the net for interesting photos or I follow other people on sites like Pinterest who are likely to post something I’ll find interesting. I’ll even jump onto bing and search an actor/actress I like and hope they have a good photo I can reference from.

#104

Another portrait. Hopfully one day I’ll be brave enough to do one in color :smiley:

#105

Coming up with some new ideas for a character I’m creating. The title for my new project is called “Stand Back.”

#106

Just decided on what the character is going to look like. Next I’m going to try and develop character further.

#107

Just finished practicing a little bit with the facial features. I used 2h and 3b pencils and each sketch took around 15 minutes.

#108

I’ve decided on working on some ideas for a tattoo. I think I have a concept I really like. I just have to make it look really good. Right now I’m working on the pose and details.

I have a long way to go I think. I feel like I should spend a lot of time on the hands, legs and feet still. After those are where I want them to be I’m going to move on the the face and cloth details and finish up with tightening up the line work.

#109

Just a little update

#110

I haven’t been drawing anything for a while now. I’ve recently been working on animation stuff in Maya. I actually miss posting on my sketchbook. So I think I’ll be back on here soon.

#111

I’ve got a few new ideas that I can’t wait to share.

stay tuned… Lol

Until then here is a quick sketch.

#112

I’ve been working on this troll for a while now.

Take a look. I’m hoping to have it done here real soon.

#113

Found a really cool image to practice with. Here is what I’ve come up with so far.

#114

Slowly moving along on the retopo process for this guy. I can’t wait to see him finished.

#115

Two new sketches to add to the collection.

#116

This morning I thought it would be fun to practice a couple of speed sketches. I don’t really know how long these took. I just know that I tried not to put a ton of effort into too much detail. I tried to get the general look as quick is I could.

The reason for these is so that I could practice getting the proper shapes in my drawings. Such as the shape of a person’s hair, proportions, dynamic posing, etc… I’m hoping to do these enough so that I can draw without having to have constant reference (draw from my head).

#117

Here is a portrait I started working on last night.

#118

I had a lot of fun with this sketch.

#119

Still trying to keep my sketchbook thread alive. In the famous words of Kate Winslet - The Titanic, “I’ll never let go.”

Take look at a study I just recently finished using this reference (Here).

#120

I’ve been pretty busy with work and general life stuff, Lol. However, I have been trying to work on some art projects here and there. Here’s one of the portraits I’ve been working on.

I have a couple others to show, but I’m actually going to wait a little while longer to bring them onto my sketchbook thread. I’ll try and get closer to completion before I upload them.
