Sketchbook Thread of Iridyse

#1

Hi:) I figured I should have an anatomy/sketchbook thread here. I’m really rusty, and the practice will do me good :smiley:

Here’s my first, for the supercool Anatomy Lesson Series (the torso). Since the focus was on the torso, the limbs are not very nice:P

I also have this membership for http://www.human-anatomy-for-artist.com (given to me by the wonderful Marek) so I hope to have some sketches from there before my membership dies, haha. Oh and some animal anatomy sketches from all my wonderful books. Whee, I’m all excited now! :smiley:

Iridyse,

Fantastic to see your thread go up! Welcome. :slight_smile: I really look forward to seeing you dazzle us with your paintings. :slight_smile:

I would invite you to create a painting tutorial for the forum any time that you feel so inclined.

Please feel free to post here work you have done from previous OFDWs. Looking forward to seeing much more of your work!

Cheers,

-Rebeccak

I’d love to see a painting tutorial from you. Saw your first torso now and your other work earlier today. Awesome I must say. I like the style.

Great colors on this one. Looking forward to more. Maybe even some pencil sketches, m? :slight_smile:

Rebeccak: Thank you so much for the warm welcome! :slight_smile: I’d love to make a tutorial, just let me figure out how to write it out without adding extra nonsense :smiley:

razz: Thank you! Pencil sketches would be great :smiley: I lost my full Imperial board though(don’t ask me how, it seems to have just disappeared), so it will be a little awkward to draw on smaller pages. But I’m definitely looking forward to doing some pencil sketches too :slight_smile:

A detail from the previous image:

Another one for the torso-thread!

Oh wow!!, here comes Super Shreya, I love to see your work here, that torso stuff is amazing, I love it, also your texturized brushes are sooo cool, (I want them :P), I hope as your thread in the wip section this new thread becomes in a instant hit, good luck in your new gallery here.

Thank you so much Sol! hug Here are the brushes (Photoshop CS2) : http://jerry.isilando.com/stuff/shreya-texbrushes.zip

The first is from Goro’s set, the rest are mostly mine :slight_smile:

Something a bit older, from July 2006 I think.
I’ve been meaning to do a tutorial/walkthrough of this image, here are the images for now :slight_smile:

Ah, I love Bouguereau <3 A copy of the most gorgeous portrait EVER.

No overpaint/colour picking/tracing etc etc done. I think it is pretty evident from the steps, but I thought I’d clarify since I was asked that once :slight_smile: I think the best colour effects come from layering (glazing/scumbling). The images are pretty big, my apologies for that. But I think it was better this way since it is clearer what has been done in each step :slight_smile:

wow this is gorgeous! Great work on the skintones!!

#9

Really nice work on the torso drawings - and the walkthrough is amazing, keep it up!

#10

The colors are great from the very beggining. And it starts to look very good in the first steps. What can I say, you know what you’re doing. I like the way you’ve got the texture there. With sort of a camelhair brush. Amazing work, the least I can say. One of the best master studies I’ve ever seen.

EDIT: double post, sorry. Delete this post, please.

enialadam: Thank you so much! :slight_smile:

mynti: Many thanks :slight_smile:

razz: Thanks! I’m rather pleased with the textures. I learnt a lot while painting this:) I have a link to my brushes in my earlier post if you would like to try them out :slight_smile:

Another torso:

And one from the previous OFDW:

Iridyse,

You definitely have to post a separate Tutorial thread for that gorgeous Bouguereau copy! :thumbsup:

It would be great if you created a Tutorial here:

Tutorials and Workshops

and called it [b]TUTORIAL - What it’s about - by Iridyse

[/b]-And definitely please post your images inline so that we can see them - such gorgeous work shouldn’t be hidden! :slight_smile:

Amazing stuff - looking forward to seeing sparks fly from this thread! :slight_smile:

Cheers,

-Rebeccak

#19

mazalo: Thank you! I love your work :slight_smile:

Rebeccak: I will, I will! I’m just feeling lazy to edit/type.The images are pretty big dimension wise, so I didn’t inline them :smiley: Thank you so much for the encouragement!

NR43: Hehe, thank you so much!

anandpg: Thank you! I studied at Sir J.J.School of Arts, Mumbai. I graduated in May 2006:)

Intervain: Thank you so much! Bouguereau rocks! I’m considering doing another copy, of La Vague! :smiley:

Thomasphoenix: Ah, how wonderful! I’m really glad that someone’s using it! :smiley:

DigitalSol: Hello stranger! Where are your works? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve been feeling rather guilty about not doing more torsos (damn I’m slow), so here’s another quickie. I think I really like doing copies. It really lets me focus on the colours and texture (and experiment with brushes) without giving me a headache. Whee! A friend (the one who has been sweet enough to host the brushes and images) thinks I have it in me to be a professional forger, hahaha.But, it would be SO cool to do a master copy in one of the museums methinks, with a laptop and all :wink:
