Setah's Sketchbook - Setah - 02-05-2014
Hello everyone and welcome to my little sketchbook. I aim to post any work I do here so I can track my progress and maybe receive feedback (if any of you will be so kind to provide it, of course!). I am 19 years old and a game art student at the HKU in the Netherlands. Feel free to tear my pieces apart if need be, but do try to include some advice aswell, I really do need some guidance with this stuff, haha.
Alright, enough blabbering, here is some of my recent work! While I do have digital stuff nothing recent is really worth posting, but I'll definitely be posting digital work in the future!
Life drawing:
These were of my first and second time life drawing with a (nearly) nude model a couple of weeks ago, it's definitely something I am going to try to keep doing, but unfortunately my school doesn't offer it right now.

Some work I did for a short course about making a piece with traditional media (sorry for the bad pictures):

(final design)

(it wasn't finished and the overall result is kinda crappy, but it was the first time trying to implement a character into a setting and drawing them with a background. I know the design is kinda generic, but I really wanted to do a badass pirate lady, haha. It was really fun to do, especially since I mostly work digitally.)
And to finish it off, my first study out of Andrew Loomis' figure drawing for all it's worth:

After watching Istebrak's livestream I decided I am going to start with the 14 day portrait challenge! Here is day 1. Feedback would be greatly appreciated, it'll help a lot!
RE: Setah's Sketchbook - Setah - 02-05-2014
I did some gesture drawings to warm up, going to practice heads next
45 sec:

1 hour landscape study, it's my first try at one in ages, haha. It's a bit sloppy, I need to do these more often

Day 2 of the 14 day portrait challenge, I got some really good feedback and while I think some stuff improved a tiny little bit, I'm not sure if I'm going to stay on the smoother brush. It just feels a bit off to me. I don't like the structure of the face as much either, going to try and work on that a bit more next time aswell.
RE: Setah's Sketchbook - Setah - 02-07-2014
Today's gesture drawings, only 3 120 second ones, the others are 45 seconds (I didn't do many of them, got home late and my concentration was absolutely horrid so I moved on to the environment):

Did another environment study and this time I spent a lot more time on it! I'm having a hard time tackling them but they are very satisfying. I could've cleaned it up a lot better and added more texture, but it's 1 am and I'm quite tired from spending all day at school so I'll call it a day.
RE: Setah's Sketchbook - Setah - 02-08-2014
I won't be updating digitally for a bit, my drawing tablet just broke (Even after all the issues with the intuos 4 they still manage to give the intuos 5 crappy usb ports). I'll try and keep the traditional stuff coming every day though! I had a nice drawing class today, unfortunately I left that work at my appartement so I won't be able to upload it. So yeah. Haha

I finally got around to doing some head anatomy studies, I didn't do nearly enough today but tomorrow I'm going to try and get up early to do more work! Going to start on hands and feet soon, as I always end up avoiding them, haha.

I finally got started on feet today! I never knew how they work, so it was about time I started studying them, haha xD I still need quite some work on it (need to see how they more and all), but I'm glad I finally made a start!
RE: Setah's Sketchbook - Fincks - 02-10-2014
Your second portrait is way better in terms of brushwork but it lacks contrast.
Hope to see more creative work like the pirate lady soon !
All of this makes me remember that I need to get back to anatomy too !

Thank you! I still need to figure out a good balance when it comes to contrast, haha. I'll be doing more design work soon enough. Right now my tablet is busted, so I have to borrow one from school before I can work properly at home again, but when I get back to it I'll post it here for sure!

Quick doodle before bed
I really really like drawing angels, haha
RE: Setah's Sketchbook - Setah - 02-11-2014
I haven't had the chance to draw much today, had to do a lot of moving around and didn't get home until just now (it's 10 pm now >:)
I did manage to catch a few people off guard in the train and doodle some more stuff on another train ride! It isn't much, but at least I did a tiny bit today, haha.
Some random people on the train:

A few designs that came up in my head (I really want to try and look into doing more sci-fi designs, the stuff I usually do is very fantasy-ish and I'm most definitely interested in this kinda stuff aswell!)

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but it took nearly 3 hours ;w;
RE: Setah's Sketchbook - Setah - 02-19-2014
Sorry for the long pause! I've been doing some studies, but I'm not very happy with them because they're rather half-assed, I haven't found the time to properly sit down yet.
I did receive my new tablet, and decided to break it in with a fast little paint, nothing special and there's a LOT of things wrong with it, but it was nice to do ^^
I'm sick at the moment, so I'm taking it easy, but I'm gonna try and get back on track next week!

1 hour environment study
Finally laid off the colour picker, it was a really bad habit (and I knew it :/ )

Some design work for a tiny game me and two friends are working on.
I thought it'd be fun to post xD

A little fighter Faun I worked on today, bit of a personal thingy to try out some stuff. The colours in the shading and the like suck a little, sorry for that. Only worked on her face a lot so far.
RE: Setah's Sketchbook - Bjulvar - 02-24-2014
Hey Setah, a lot of nice things going on in here! Really like the badass nonderpy unicorn, feels like it's a more sarcastic version of the Robot Unicorn game that was popular a while back. Would be sweet to see it animated haha :P
And the faun fighter is looking sweet too! It shows a lot of potential if you wanted to work on it more. I think that if you want to improve the shading/colors on it, you just need to establish a more direct lightsource. The character doesn't really sit well with the background, even if it's just abstracted. Because I see some brighter fur on her legs and I can't really processes how it is effected by light ( I might be stupid too :D)
Hope that helps! Would be nice seeing imaginative work taken further and this one has potential! You're doing great:)
