Sketchbook Thread of wasker

Hi Wasker, nice sketchbook. I like your diggital paintings and you’re doing all the right studies to back them up and make them even stronger. Keep going!

Hey wasker,
I have to say you have a good use of values. I especially like this one.

I’d like to see you try those Loomis heads again, I think you can improve those a lot more now. Keep up the good work.

Batte812: thanks, :slight_smile:

SirRon: Hehe thanks, I should use softer brushes every once in a while to make them look more photographic I guess but I’ll get there eventually. I’ll give Loomis a shot soon.

Hi Wasker! these Bridgman studies are really cool!:thumbsup: keep it up!

#47

Thanks Anandpg! :slight_smile:

More studies, da vinci legs and demon kids and some bridgman studies! I notice I missplace features quite often. Any tips on how to reduce this? or does it just come down to days and months of training?

Edit1: Hawhaw ^^ page 4

Cheers!

Awesome studies! Fantastic to see these. I forget, are you / where are you studying art?

Cheers :slight_smile:

:slight_smile: thanks becca, glad you like 'em.

I have gone to a school of graphic and industrial design in Malmö, Sweden. But trust me on this, what I learnt from the years spent at that school was taught by friends and other students not teachers, and unfortunately I mostly learnt typograhpic stuff there. No real life or digital art, something I totally regret today.

I’m self taught, I picked up anatomy in january as I felt that many characters I’d been speed painting totally lacked all sense of proportion.

And that’s my story.

I’ve been noticing that my scanner crops my image way too much, bits are getting chopped of… I wonder if I can change that setting somehow.

More of this evening’s sketches.

A question of curiousity; Am I violating any copyrights by posting so many studies from the same artist?

And more! Behold my horrible handwriting! And now I’m out of pens :frowning: these were done with all kinds of leftover pencils (like 1 inch long x_x ).

wasker,

Thanks for the background information! :slight_smile: Wow, you really are setting a great example here - you’re doing exactly what I think most should be doing in terms of anatomy studies - fantastic inspiration. :slight_smile:

Cheers!

Great studies, Wasker. Now join the OFDW! :smiley:
One can feel like a monk (not one of these days, but those long time ago) rewriting and redrawing the book :slight_smile: Done that myself with the same book and I like to see you doing this.

hellya Wasker keep up the good work

Remember a day away from drawing, you’ll notice the difference, two days away from drawing -everyone notices the difference hahahahah.

I totatlly agree that a thread like this shows people have the choice to make things happen - great improvements. Your linework is getting better as your confidence grows!

Remember to think in 3d forms. I’m sure the books tell you that but keep it in the forefront of mind as you lightly rough in. Also, think about line weight, such as darker lines for emphasize and shadows.

#55

Love these studies. Out of curiosity, what book are you drawing from?

#56

Behindfaces: Hey, thanks, keep practicing Loomis, he knows what he’s doing :slight_smile:

Rebeccak: Gosh :smiley: thanks alot Becca!

Razz: Yea yea, I’ll join next QFDW. :wink: I know what you mean, writing’s a killer for inspiration (atleast for me) but it is probably just as important as the drawings.

MattVogt: hehe, that’s so true. Thanks for the support. I’ve picked up a book by Glen Vilppu to learn more get more of 3d forms and gesture in by drawings. I’m currently blind to line weight but I hope it will develop as I go.

Cynical_saint: Hey, thanks, I’m drawing abit of this and that actually, the sketches in the first pages are Loomis studies, (you can download all his books from a thread here at CG for free!), I’ve also done some Da Vinci studies from images I found on the various sites but mostly I’ve done studies from the book “Bridgman’s complete guide to drawing from life”.

Here are some more studies, the news are that I’ve begun taking Life drawing classes, which is fun but I feel that the teacher is somewhat inadequate.

wasker - these are some awesome studies - reminding me that I should go back to mine again, I’ve started to neglect my sketchbook lately…

#61

Hey Intervain, thanks :slight_smile: I always carry a sketchbook with me nowadays, it’s very relaxing just to doodle whenever I feel stressed or whatever.

These are from my class 10 minute study I believe it was

A doodle with no refs, I like her eye.

5 or 10 minutes from lifedrawing class

Digital study from a photo

And finally some stuff I did yesterday with a new pen. I know that the anatomy, hands especially is off on some of the pictures but feel free to point out any errors or tips you got know off.

I got the refs for these at the reference thread here at CG
