I know i am like a spambot always saying the same, but if you can get these two books:

-Color and Light, and Imaginative realism both by James Gurney.

Those books will help you greatly.

Alright i'll work on that!
And spam as much as you want, i can use all the help i can get haha.
I'll see where i can order the books from :) Thanks!

RE: Dana's Sketchbook - Dana - 02-05-2013

Ordered Imaginative Realism, it's on it's way! Yay!

Also a little update, Heavenwill gave me some awesome advise on it;

And a new one i have started in the mean time, ToxicPanda painted me, and i still had to paint her so decided to turn her into Sylvanas hihi! A lot of fixing still needed here but only just blocked in the colors and all that;

Dana! I'm so glad that you started with your sketchbook update :D Can't wait to see your dragon lady finished and my portrait too xD
Also-big wow on self study. Just love how you painted the hair.

RE: Dana's Sketchbook - RockOnGuy - 03-17-2013

Great stuff, Dana! You are so much better at faces than I am :P
Can't really say a lot other than that atm, but I'm glad you are working hard :)

RE: Dana's Sketchbook - Dana - 03-18-2013

Thanks sweeties!
And that's only because that's all i've ever drawn/painted, sjoerd ;p

RE: Dana's Sketchbook - Nylelevi - 03-18-2013

Your master studies are really good! And I really like that last line drawing too.

RE: Dana's Sketchbook - Dana - 03-25-2013

Thanks Nylelevi!

Gesture things, i believe i spent about 1-2 mins on each of these

Colour and light study

RE: Dana's Sketchbook - Virid Rain - 03-25-2013

Your color study is very cool !
Beware of the "chicken scratch" on the gesture study. The principle of gesture study is loong and dynamic lines which describe the direction of movement or weight ... Here the accuracy is quite good, but the line is "hairy" and discontinued. Try to make clean unique lines ;)
Here is an example of gesture drawing http://conteanimated.com/wp-content/gallery/thebook/samplepage01_page_068.jpg (from http://conteanimated.com/the-book/)
I admire your sense of accuracy though, yours drawings are really good ! =) So try to see the figure in forms and volumes too !

Ooooh! Some lovely advice right there, thanks a lot!

And thanks for the compliments!

Intended to do a mirror colour study but made dinner in the mean time and when i got back the light was all gone, so had to improvise;
