Sketchbook Thread of sanpaiya

#21

Wow! :surprised Awesome works.
I like the way you used brushes and colours.

#22

This thread is quite impressive!

In post nr 13, the first portrait of the bearded man with the scratched metal texture on top… great effect, but I think the scratches flatten the man, particularly where the beard is, where I think it would pop out more if you would erase the overlay texture there. What do you think?

You are able to depict powerful expressions in the eyes… lovely stuff really!

kasana . . thanx :slight_smile: yup . . gotta watch it… the basic flaw is that i do not place them in the start. . just draw. . and if the model moves even a little my drawing is off :stuck_out_tongue: . been workin on that now though .

heozart : yup . . thats the one…and i love the way he gets the rhythm . . i dont get stuck in the detailing . the cows are the same too . . :slight_smile:

sycen : thanx a lot. . glad u liked em . .

ratheesh : thanx a lot man… i liked that one too . .it’s was a new brush i was tryin in PS. .and made a conscious choice in the colors this time. .

herez some old work i did to pass time while i was doin local renders . . did not want to eat the processor’s capacity so used MSpaint . .

from memory

#37

Great lighting effect on the 4th one! What brushes do you usually use in painter?

#38

pretty pieces you have here.
The MSPaint stuff is great, really cool with so simple tools. the protraits are very nice as well. I lilke the first one the best. But the lighting on the last one is very good.
The last studie B/W from the foto is very good as well, just a few values and it absolutly rocks!
But I have to admit, that I had really problems to see the dogs head. I took my almost a minute. :blush:

#39

oooOOOOooooo :slight_smile:

really nice SB- i like your stuff man, especially last one line sketches…beautiful hands…digitals are good as well- what more i can say about them is that maybe you shouldn’t leave the white background color…paint it with some expression- even with no idea for it…it will change them for better InMyOpinion :wink:

keep it up, looking out for more

cheers

Beautiful!

painter+mouse

you paint with a mouse?? Please, please save up for a tablet as quickly as you can, you will ruin those amazing wrists of yours and you need them to make more beautiful work!

Thanks for posting that link btw. Wonderful portraits to be found there!
