RE: A vagabond's sketchbook - Rindoukan - 01-31-2014
been pretty down in the dumps these past couple of months.Sorta struggling to do studies since I have no motivation whatsoever, but Im trying to pick up the pace again.
-Some sketches,still experimenting with that Anthony Jones/James Zapata sketch technique.
-Also I've been undertaking a huge master study of one of my favourite old masters Luis Falero for quite some time,but it's still a wip.

:( Hope things get better and you don't burn out too much.
Sketches are cool, I like the sideview armored elf really nice
RE: A vagabond's sketchbook - Rindoukan - 02-09-2014
Appreciate the sentiment Tom!
probably my longest study to date.about 5-6 hrs maybe ? I don't really track it but it's quite some time for me.
RE: A vagabond's sketchbook - Rindoukan - 02-10-2014
Exploring a bit of Zhong Feng Hua's sketching technique.
So much to learn !
RE: A vagabond's sketchbook - ImSkeptical - 02-11-2014
Hey bro cool to see ya getting back into it! Looking forward to seeing more.
RE: A vagabond's sketchbook - Rindoukan - 02-12-2014
Messed abit more with those doodles after some helpful input.
Need to group value masses more and not overstate or muddle in halftones.
RE: A vagabond's sketchbook - Tom Seas - 02-20-2014
I feel your characters come off as stronger than the long study. The long study has soft brush written all over it and it makes some parts too muddy and flat, like the navel and the dark line above it. I find the soft brush to be quite hard to get right because it softens everything too much and gives it an artificial look. Try mixing it up with a harder one
RE: A vagabond's sketchbook - Rindoukan - 02-21-2014
Appreciate the input,Tom I'll keep it in mind for next time.
some Cyborg Samurai concepts that I expanded on from the spitpainting topic
RE: A vagabond's sketchbook - Rindoukan - 02-26-2014
dumping some sketchhes and whatnot.At this point In my art pursuit Im mostly concerned about composition and creating an interesting shot and value separation and clear story dictation in tersm of lighting and how to use it to your advantage , rather than polishing and all other aspects ,wich considerably slows me down in other aspects and it turns me off of renderring stuff when I know the composition is not as good.
RE: A vagabond's sketchbook - Rindoukan - 02-28-2014
some more photo studies and 2 portret studies.Im struggling alot with edge control
RE: A vagabond's sketchbook - Rindoukan - 03-01-2014
Portret for the day.Have some issues with proportions and overall construction and edges.
RE: A vagabond's sketchbook - Rindoukan - 03-02-2014
study for today.Taking a break from portrets...kinda
Also a spitpaint for the group.
RE: A vagabond's sketchbook - Rindoukan - 03-06-2014
some more study dump
need something to read up on composition
RE: A vagabond's sketchbook - Rindoukan - 03-10-2014
a quick fun inbetween studies and yet another study.
Overall Reilly method isn't working too well for me since construction still is off and I have to liquify the fuck out of things.
Also a piece I started working on the other day.
RE: A vagabond's sketchbook - Rindoukan - 03-12-2014
master study.Edge control and stroke economy is ridiculous.
RE: A vagabond's sketchbook - will123will - 03-19-2014
Thanks for the sketchbook visit man. Great looking studies in here, especially like how you paint hair.
RE: A vagabond's sketchbook - Rindoukan - 03-22-2014
