Sketchbook Thread of Monster_General

Hey guys/gals , I just wanted to open another topic for my anatomy studies ( Thanks to Rebeccak :slight_smile: ) , previous one was full with unserious studies . I would try to do serious studies in here much as possible . So Cya soon with another one , but currently I just have a skull sketch I do after I’ve found a good image over google . Comments and critics extremely welcome as always !

I will make copy works until I started to learn designing true lines with my own imagination :slight_smile:

#2

Great to see this! :slight_smile:

One thing I would recommend is posting images that are a bit larger ~ no more than 800 pixels in width, though. This will make it much easier to see things. :slight_smile:

Also, feel free to post your latest studies here as well (totally up to you). :slight_smile:

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

Heh, you can’t expect to do only a few drawings and then to remember everything. :slight_smile: It takes a lot of practice, and drawing from memory is a hard task. To be able to do so, you must first have a big stock of images to remember! That can only come from drawing from life, master drawings, and from reference. :slight_smile:

So I must make a ‘’ lot of ‘’ copy works first * goes work * :slight_smile:

Here I tried to do cat portraits , they are count as Anatomy study too isn’t it ?

#8

Yes, of course. :slight_smile: People, animals, even imaginary creatures are all welcome on the Anatomy Forum. :slight_smile:

One really good reference site you should check out is linked here:

Link to SurgiCat Database
http://forums.cgsociety.org/showpost.php?p=3533074&postcount=2

You can search the SurgiCat Database for all sorts of skeletal specimens, it’s a great resource! It would be great to see you do some drawings from that, they have animal as well as human skeletons. :slight_smile:

For example, I ran a search for ‘cat skeleton’, and came up with this:

Horse Portrait :

#11

Ah, very nice! :thumbsup:

There is something about the neck that seems perhaps too skinny? You might try giving it just a bit more width.

Nice to see your progress! :slight_smile:

hey omar, nice stuff here. I like the way of shading!
maybe add more contrast to achieve more depth in your images.
good detail! keep drawing and updating.

#16

Thanks a lot again Rebeccak , I am glad to hear you think its good :slight_smile:

Hey . Thanks :slight_smile: Yea I currently trying to find a ‘’ clear ‘’ way of depth shading , I will definately try to do it right later .

Also I will keep up until learn :thumbsup:

#17

Here a dog skull I’ve tried :slight_smile:

#18

Yo Monster

Did a great job on this last one - always love drawings of the actual bones. Like Cyanid said, you might try and push the value to create a better sense of depth. Also be careful with your backgrounds - the shading in the background seems too arbitrary: try using the background to compliment the subject.

Doing great - keep us updated!

Thank you for the comment Demented :slight_smile: I actually not do background , I just choose neon effect in PS and it becomes like that , in original sketch there isn’t background :thumbsup:

Oh and thanks a lot again Rebeccak , I am being glad to see you are browsing to my topic allthe time :slight_smile:

Here giraffe skull :slight_smile:
