and a few quick greyscales before bedtime. gnight everybody.

#762

LOL the girl with the ponytails saying “Jamais” looks so like my oldest daughter!
Had a great laugh with that one :smiley:

You should do these more often Mu
They don’t take too long and you can always find a piece of paper around to draw these lil doodles… whether your at the office or at the station waiting for a train… plenty of “dead” moments in a day, right?

Awesome to see you this active on the forum again btw!

#763

LOL, when I added the text balloon saying “jamais” I was thinking of you and that I didn’t know wether you’re in the french speaking part of belgium, but that you might probably be able to relate to a heartfelt “jamais” - but I didn’t know that you would relate to the drawing so much…:scream:

Yes, I had a tough year putting much energy in both my job and my writing/music which really paid off… but I realized that I got to far into drawing to let it wane into a “formerly interested in”.
I plainly missed drawing and painting very much and can’t think of a better place to keep studying it.
I will probably never visit an art school of any kind, but I’ll learn as much as I can by myself and with the help of you folks…:slight_smile:

#764

Just in case you think I totally lost it…:smiley:

No, I did not. I am practising cartoon stylization, because drawing a comic is a long time secret dream of mine (if you are still around when I have gotten better, you will be confronted with a few other longterm secret illustration dreams of mine…:smiley: )

Anyway, the wednesday comic thread in the DSF inspired me to just go and try my hand at drawing a comic, so I started to transcribe a sci-fi short story of mine I had published in a german IT-mag a few years ago which lends itself to a project like this.

In the meantime, I am practising cartoon drawings with the help of one of Ben Caldwell’S books (namely this one here)

That’s why…:slight_smile:

#765

hey there,

in case you’re interested in the comic script I am going to put into a comic:

Wow cool!
I’ll read it tomorrow at work :slight_smile:
Thanks for sharing!

Keep drawing!

#767

my take on post-acolyptic survival bunny. Partying hard, smoking being the first thing in the morning.

#768

Starting point for my value work.

I want to do a concept of a character, so the bg will get a narrow value range, whereas the figure will get a full value range and an even thicker ink outline.

EDIT: Oh, and I realize I need to post in other people’s threads more often…:blush:

#769

The last one is SO stylish!

#770

Oh Serena!

It’s been ages, woman!

Yea, I was thinking about the differences between concept art and illustration and wanted to try and push the concept side of things.

It’s just a very rough beginning, though.

Hope to chat to you some time again… cya

#771

I had 3 works to manage so I had no more time neither for personal art. I decided that it was “no life” so I cut one of them :stuck_out_tongue:
Hope to see new updates and chat too

#772

pushed the values on the figure.
More refining is needed where the forms overlap and interact (arms/elbows/face/hands)

#773

Hey Mu
nice entry again!
Don’t overuse the just add water blender mate :wink:
Be brave! Let’s see some brush strokes…

Here expression is so funny and scaringly real at the same time!

#774

Hi Johan,

I did indeed soften every stroke on my way…:smiley:

I figured I’d save the visible strokes for the last touches. Hope this is a bit better?

#775

Yep, better (although it never hurts to keep pushing :slight_smile: )

Her left elbow is bothering me.
Check out this stock image at DA to see how the musclesare placed.

Looked it up for you:
The muscles are brachioradialis (pulls the forearm) and the extensor carpi radialis longus (pulls the wrist)

#776

Hey there,

thanks for the effort, I’ll check it out and refine!

#777

smoothed the forms on the arm, lightened her skin up, added colour…:

#778

people get confused by the background. I replaced it with a background which makes it clearer that I wanted to go for a concept piece…:

#779

Hey,

I started practising drawing for comics (because I want to learn how to draw them) and bought this to get into the type of comics I like best. It’s interesting, because the author talks a lot about contour lines and then shading/carving to bring out the shapes.

His only two values, though, are black and white.

God, I love black and white thinking…:smiley:

#780

I’ve enjoyed your bunny progress - really shows how much you’ve learned since you’ve started the sketchbook and that’s always motivating to see! Great job :slight_smile:
