Hi gibby!

Very nice sketches!
I simply love your style :smiley:

Here’s another update! finally our class got a break from all the bad life drawing teachers we’ve been getting so far. we got bobby chiu to finish off this semester and he’s been great. he’s been more than great so far and has taught many of us in our class more than we have learned since our first year in our program in just 2-3 classes. it’s about time our school did something right. incase you don’t know who bobby chiu is, he’s this guy http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=313788

Awesome!! keep 'em coming!!:bounce:

#25

more updates! probably the last one till sometime next year. im gonna try to focus more on digital painting now … wish me luck :stuck_out_tongue:

anyway, i’ve been studying steven silver’s work so i tried to put some of his style into my life drawings. If you don’t know who steven silver is, check him out at http://www.silvertoons.com/silvertoons/ .

i’m kinda skeptical about posting this here because i notice that this is mostly for life drawing and painting… but i’m gonna go for it anyway and if i’m wrong and someone wants to point me in the right direction, i’ll be very greatful for that :smiley: anyway, this is a drawing i did for an NWN character … and i even dared to paint it which i very rarely do but i think it’s time to tackle that problem of mine. PLEASE i would very much like some help with my painting so give it to me straight up on how i can improve.

I really like the style in your most recent sketches and also this character. Have enjoyed going through all of your sketches - thanks for putting them up!

I know nothing about painting, but it does seem that you lose some detail in the painted version because the dark colors blend together. For example, it’s hard to tell where her outfit ends and the sword begins - a shame because she has such cool armor. Also, her pink lipstick seems a bit, well, girly for her :wink: Still, she looks very cool painted, hope to see more of this!

Hey Gibby, I find your work very inspirational. I get a great sense of movement and weight in your gestures, it’s wild how quickly your produce them! Keep at it and be sure to continue posting your work.

thanks for the kind words guys! :smiley: i’ll keep your words in mind for my next piece deco-3d! anyway, happy holidays to everyone!

#31

finally i have some stuff to post! now that the new semester is in full swing, i can get down to some serious life drawing. here’s the first batch from my first week… hmmmm, they’re only 3 but i promise to have more up soon!

btw, thank you sooo much for the kind words guys! i love seeing all your work regardless of skill level or anything like that… it’s more like i like seeing the progress people make and how much passion goes into the drawings. anyway, you know what i mean!
((all drawings are 5 minutes… the middle ones could be 7 :P))



#32

awesome! strong stuff, as usual!:thumbsup:

#33

very nice, I particularly like the last one - good to see more of your work! :slight_smile:

I really like these - very expressive and spontaneous. Nice!

#35

here’s a quick update of what i’ve been upto at life drawing this week. we’re gonna be doing more costume stuff for the rest of the semester (i think). which is a good thing since i’m sick and tired of drawing naked people. :stuck_out_tongue: i mean, i’ve been doing it for like 4 years already! i think it’s time our school got new models… that could get me back into drawing naked people again :stuck_out_tongue: anyway, hope you like!

hey gibby!

-really like those two sherlock drawings. would love to see some colors on them.
though you might hate drawing nudes atm., you can always be happy about it really shows in your drawings. it really does. i can almost see the movements your characters have just done or are about to do.
great work.

#37

very nice, I agree with abyss103, you can really sense their movement. I particularly like the second one, I want to lean over his shoulder to see what he’s looking at :slight_smile:

#38

How do you do that?? Man, what I wouldn’t give to be able to do lines with that kinda confidence and have it look so damned good. I guess with four years life drawing it really pays off, all these works are just lovely. i really like the lady with the parasol, she’s wonderfully expressive. Great work.

#39

Hi, these are really nice sketches. I love the sherlock holmes drawings…they look like they were a lot of fun to do! The monochromatic colors in them accent them really well too I think :slight_smile:

Oh wow… Fantastic work man! I’m in awe :slight_smile:

Looking forward to seeing your work for the animation challenge :thumbsup:
