GDSWorld deathbook! - gdsworld - 11-19-2012
Hey Everyone,
My weaknesses are endless but i'm committed to improve as an artist.
I'm starting with Form and basic perspective and then i'll move onto the complicated stuff.
My goals for the end of this year would be:
- Warm up colour studies everyday
- Do at least one character concept a day (2d or 3d)
- One finished portfolio piece every week (has to be original)
All the results will be posted on my personal blog: gdsworldp.blogspot.com
Lets get started!
-------------------
I already started a sketchbook on this site but in the wrong section so i'll post some of the highlights from it.
Some of the pieces I worked on earlier:

I pushed myself further than yesterday, doing double the amount of work compared to yesterday.

RE: GDSWorld deathbook! - kidult - 11-27-2012
Cool to see you working hard! Try give some perspective studies a bash will help with the enviros quite a bit
RE: GDSWorld deathbook! - gdsworld - 11-28-2012
@kidult- Definitely, i'm just going through Loomis's Head and Hand book and straight after that I'll move onto perspective. Feel honoured to have great comments from hard working artist. Just seen your sketchbook. It kicks ass!
Day 16:Picked up Loomis's Drawing the Head and Hand book today. Read 26 pages and wow oh wow! It's incredible.

Nice work man, that bird looks nice, great colours and depth. Really liked the kettle up top as well.
Keep it coming!

Some studies from today. Just felt like posting these before continuing.
RE: GDSWorld deathbook! - gdsworld - 12-19-2012
I'm bad at drawing circles in Photoshop so I just drew 3,070 circles and overlaid all of them to create this abstract art work. My wrist is kinda hurting now but it was a great exercise.

I don't know why I keep using my brain and not draw what I see in-front of me.
RE: GDSWorld deathbook! - Mathias - 12-20-2012
Nice work, you seem to be going beyond simply replicating what's in front of you and actually studying it in closer detail. That's definitely going to pay off.
Also, well done on those thousands of circles, you're a bloody machine! Keep up the great work.

RE: GDSWorld deathbook! - gdsworld - 12-20-2012
@Mathias- Thanks man, I certainly need to more to solidify my learning.

A quick concept based on one of the silhouettes:
