RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - pnate - 05-23-2013
Liked your bloodsport man, badass walrus :) Keep up the studies and such, I should learn from you and do more still lifes. Looking good and keep applying!
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - Izzual - 05-25-2013
Thanks a lot Pnate ! :D Yeah still life studies are very helpful ! :)
Some stuff
Master study, Repin <3, will do more, I learned a lot and can't wait to do another one haha :D
Orc Bartender WIP
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - Izzual - 05-27-2013
Here's some new stuff ! :D
Orc Bartender finished ^^
Some Bridgman studies
And a veeeery crappy study from a screenshot.. I will do some other movie screenshot studies to help me for composition, scene etc..
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - Izzual - 05-31-2013
Some new stuff, I've been doing a lot of experiments these days but didn't keep them :s I'm trying to get better at sketching putting things all together etc..
Still life study
Repin study
And a crappy sketch, as I said I'm trying to get better at having complete "scenes" or at least char'+env' etc.. So I need to get more comfortable at sketching whole things...
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - Izzual - 06-02-2013
New stuff !
Forest study
And some crappy sketches, the good point with those expriments is that I learned some things in my way of processing, of putting things together.. I also saw that I need to be carefuller on the hard/soft edges aspect
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - Izzual - 06-05-2013
Yo Daggers !
Still life
And a WIP, tried again a full scene, I will see how it goes, I also saw that I really need to work on design stuff, Well I'll do some solo characters after this :)
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - pnate - 06-05-2013
Love seeing the personal stuff man. I realized that painting "full" illustrations is an issue with me too, but you can't go wrong painting whole scenes. Then hopefully everything else should be a little easier :)
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - Izzual - 06-09-2013
Hey thank you Pnate, yup it's quite hard :/ I think "full scenes" are things that need to do sometimes to point completely what is going wrong..
Well, I did really crappy things these days :(
Firstly, I fucked up my full scene, there's a true lack of volume/painted rendering 3d... (plus all the other things ^^), I will have to seriously focus on it to "mutate" my brain, make me think more of it to make it become a second nature etc..
A quick unfinished thing to make some test
A Sargent study, I failed it :/ (should have been more careful of the proportions...)
And some outdoor things
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - Bjulvar - 06-09-2013
Very nice masterstudies mate! Seems like they get reflected a bit in your orc bartender piece :D
When drawing outdoors I've found that a softer pen, like 4b is perfect for sketching up stuff, always nice to fill it in with some values too! You've got good pencil work though!
And I think that you've got the right idea with illustrations/scenes, just do some and it'll become easier after a while. Though the composition has a nice diagonal in it, but you could strengthen that more by raising the head of the beast-thingie! I think that could be more dramatic :D
Keep going on man!
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - Izzual - 06-11-2013
Hey thank you Bjulvar ! Thanks for the advices and for the encouragement ! :D
so, some stuff
A WIP
a Study
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - AngeliquevdMee - 06-11-2013
Great sketchbook. keep it up!
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - Izzual - 06-13-2013
Hey thank you AngeliquevdMee ! :)
Some new stuff here !
update of the last sketch, will need to do more materials studies !
Beginning of a new one
A still life drape, got lost with the small folds, next time I'll, at least, make better lines for the big ones so that maybe I'll be less lost ^^
and some outdoor scribbles
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - Izzual - 06-16-2013
Well, nothing extraordinary, I have worked a lot on sketching but chained shit for something like 10 hours yesterday, learned a lot but nothing went very far :/ I'm now starting something that I'll share soon, I'll try to apply everything I learned with the big bunch of failures ^^
A Master study (Sargent)
and an example of the "tests" I've done, actually he's the only one I kept even if it's super crappy
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - Izzual - 06-20-2013
Yo daggers ! :D
Well, I have some stuff from those days...
Crappy studies
And........ I'm feeling so sad for this little guy :( yesterday night I had a powercut while I was saving to post and.... my psd is now corrupted and I can't get what I did on him (it was finished :( ) so here is an early version, with lots of hours of work missing...
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - JGZ - 06-20-2013
Digging the bold, hard brush work in your studies.
Watch out for going all the way to black. Black represents 100% lack of light.
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - MrFrenik - 06-21-2013
Fuuuuck I hate when that happens. PS crashed on me at least twice just tonight alone. Super annoying. However, if you want to finish him, maybe this is a good chance to exercise painting directly onto one layer, if you don't already. Don't let anything stop you from finishing something if you want to. ;)
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - pnate - 06-22-2013
Damn, that happened to me a few times so now I'm paranoid and save into a new file every few hours haha. Keep it up, i like all the still lifes and the imagination applications. Maybe add some more soft edges in the transition areas though
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - Izzual - 06-24-2013
JGZ -> Thanks man, yup I'll be more carefull, will try to use less black :)
MrFrenik -> Hehe thank you ! Don't worry, I've not finished him because I had finished him before it crashed but hadn't yet saving a jpg, I had learned a lot, that's the most important :)
Pnate -> Thanks a lot ! Haha now I'm doing the same ^^ ; I totally agree about the soft edges, I'm trying to use it more but I need more practice to use it better...
And here is some new stuff, have to work more, so many things to learn !
Sargent study
Some sketches, very very very crappy, trying things, perspective colors.. the conclusion : I need to study women faces because I reeeeally suck at it !
And a wip because the last one was sooo terrible that I couldn't not try again to make a portrait !
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - Izzual - 06-29-2013
Some new stuff,
portrait ended badly :/ will do studies
An unfinished sketch, dunno if I'll go back working on him, I tried new ways of working, don't think it was good but I think I can apply good new things for next sketch
Bouguereau Study :( (really hard, will have to do others !)
And some Bridgman stuff
RE: This is my sketchbook ! D: - will123will - 06-29-2013
Nice figure studies man, you seem to have a really good sense of colour, keep it up :)
