Ranarh_ #DrawCember Sketchbook thread


#21

@POSEIdOON The sky just so being coloured is one of the most beautiful lighting conditions there are imo. Even better with snow.

10th Dec.
“North Pole”. More adventurers. I wish we could bring space travel further along so we can go discover again. On foot, I mean.


#22

_looking good _``~…

11th Dec.
“Freezing”. I simply combined portrait study with textured brushes today.


#24

That North Pole pic oddly reminds me of Carpenter’s version of the movie “The Thing”… Gah, makes me want to watch it again, now !
Very cool mood by the way (no pun intended)! :wink:


#25

Great piece Ranarh! Loved the mix you made with texture brush and the portrait


#26

The freezing image reminds me of an ice sculpture. I like this one a lot :slight_smile:


#27

@Lammakian Now that you mention it :wink: That was a gruesome and cold film. Good thing so many people have medical implants, we’d never tell them apart from bodysnatchers otherwise.

There are never enough samurais. I was just idly rummaging through my ref folders looking for something cool to sketch.

13th Dec.
The prompt “shovel” has stared at me for a few days now and somehow it’s this guy who always comes to mind. I threw in a bit of “blizzard”, too.
He was made in Al.chemy, after reading Scott Fisher’s MuddyColors latest articles, and finished in PS.

I really love your Art and I am curious what you’ll post today.
Is the last piece death with a shovel and a Santas hat?
his would be morbid and hilarious at the same time.

@RocaTeithmore Yes, it’s the Grim Reaper in Christmas attire. I think he’s also wearing one of those knitted sweaters with a red-nosed reindeer on it under his robes :wink: Thank you! It’s very encouraging to hear that.

14th Dec.
“Wreath”. This must be an incredibly uncomfortable thing to wear. But maybe she’s a fairy and all nature obeys her and doesn’t harm her. I drew the face in this orientation without turning the canvas, because that’s harder.


#31

A holly wreath fairy :love:I like the rough edges to all your sketches too

I especially like your North Pole one! It really does have the feel of the start of an adventure (and it reminds me of a book on my shelf that I haven’t read yet :smiley: “A History of Canada in 10 Maps”)


#32

“History in maps” sounds really cool, let me know if it’s worth having. I just learned there’s a book called “Star Wars - the Essential Atlas”. Now that’s something for the wishlist.

15th Dec.
“Snow”, I guess, but that fits almost everywhere :wink: I just wanted to use these nice snowflake brushes I dug up.


#33

16th Dec.
“Merry”. Drawing children is HARD.


#34

17th Dec.
“Mittens”. Today I thought to stick with just the line drawing, but I like the rough vignette shading from the last pieces. The fur and hair were nice to draw.


#35

You used very nice colors and surfaces on the “merry” and “mittens” pictures!


#36

Very nice, especially the combination of the colors.


#37

Thanks Beatrix and gfigueroa! I rarely use such classic colour combinations and b/w with red, and it’s nice to see they work so well.

18th Dec.
“Candle”. Based on a blurry photo taken in a dark room with only a candle and a handheld camera. I really like lighting from below, but it’s hard to pull off and still look appealing instead of wrong.


#38

I agree with you about making children! But you made a nice piece and got right the feeling of her being under water swimming for the surface


#39

Thanks @POSEIdOON - the kid was not actually under water, though, she was running through a sprinkler in a park. But I get what you mean :wink:


#40

Oh! I understand now. Ehehe… the flowing hair the bubbles of water and her arms made me think she was under water :slight_smile:
