Hi,
So here's my thread for posting sketches! Hopefully I can get some feedback from you, nice people
My goal is to find work in the entertainment industry as an illustrator. I really enjoy the storytelling aspect of it and I wish to be able to draw freely both characters and environments.
Anyways, here is some stuff I sketched lately. Most are traditional (I don't have a scanner so sorry about the quality)
hey nice! I like your ink heads!
If you want to gain your knowledge in storyboard drawing there's an amazing book called Framed Ink that I find really helpful!
Hi there, thank you for dropping a comment!
I do have this book, I'll have to re-read it sometime soon! Thanks!
Hey welcome to the forum AlexShi :)
I'm afraid your DeviantArt links aren't working for me right now - have the images been removed?
You have some nice works on your portfolio site though :).
Looking forward to seeing more from you :).
Man... I thought you're a guy :D. Alright, with that out of the way, really really nice stuff (I've seen deviant). Pictures you uploaded here don't show up tho'... try fixing?!
Artloader - Thank you for commenting! I can see the pictures fine and it seems that gregorkari also saw them. I uploaded them to dA Stash, do you think that might be the problem?
razvanc-r - lol, I don't know why you thought I'm a guy :D Thank you for the kind words and the watch on dA!!
Not sure if I fixed it, can anybody see the images in my first post?
Yeah I can see them now, nice work :). I love the one of the old guy having a smoke :).
Artloader - thanks and glad to know it's fixed!
Here are some other studies, this time in digital:
color studies based on ref
some monster concept sketches for my project
I'm not good with weapons but I tried to design a rocket launcher in style of old west revolvers :D
An environment painting from last week!
That enviro is great! Love the colors and composition and your studies looks sweet too kepp it up : P
Great work here AlexShi :).
Those rocket launchers came out looking pretty good in the end - they do have an old west vibe to them.
Keep it going :).
NoodleInBox - Thank you!
Artloader - Thank you! I have a bit of trouble making it functional though :D
Here are some sketches I did lately. I've been quiet because I'd started freelancing again but am trying to still find some time for personal work! I really do need to invest in a scanner though, the quality of these photos is terrible! :D
All this was done with pencil but I'm slowly discovering that I like my work more when I work with ink or pens, maybe because my lines are more confident and carefully placed while when drawing with pencil I often catch myself drawing mushy lines and chicken-scratching... I know I know, drawing from the elbow, not the wrist... but still I tend to space out and forget. I can't help remembering that I can always use an eraser.
Wow! Really nice environment painting! And the movement you have in those sketches is nice :)
:O environment piece is awesome! I like your sketches as well. Great stuff.
ooh nice city! I need to learn how to do that kinda stuff!
Axrel, kvSketch, Fedodika - Thank you all very much!
Here's a painting from last week. Critiques welcome!
hello!
Great sketchbook
Really like the environment painting
As well as the last image. The colors and lighting are very good!
Keep up the good work!
Heya :)
On your 02.15 painting maybe you can put some highlights on the visage and on the neck to detach the charcater from the background. You also putted HL in the eyes :)
Great stuff BTW
