Da Sketchbook of da Horse - BitingHorse - 05-11-2014

Ok. so I wanted to start a sketchbook here a long time ago but I just did not know what to post because I was drawing everything at the same time. But I did some sort of "restart" and started studying portraits and I thought "Well, this would be a great time to start a sketchbook on CD".
I and Art have been on an on-and-off relationship for years now and for about a year I decided to take it more serious. It has been a rough ride ever since but I really want to do this and every critique is welcome.

Right now I work mostly with traditional art because I just feel more comfortable with it but I thing I will switch to digital in the future (again).

So here are my first few portrait-studies. I hope you enjoy, c&c always welcome. I just don't want to "double-post" so I guess these are staying out of the critique-section.

My latest anatomy studies of the upper upper body

RE: Da Sketchbook of da Horse - BitingHorse - 12-23-2014

Todays fast-sketches (i like to do sketches like that very fast without thinking about it to try out how well i remember the anatomy).

I wanna do some more studies of anatomy - then go to drapery and clothing and basic coloring afterwards.

Did a quick coloring of one of the sketches aswell (just to train coloring)

Did this in a few minutes. Love to work fast (even though I made a lot of mistakes XDD)

RE: Da Sketchbook of da Horse - BitingHorse - 12-26-2014

Again studying the anatomy and bringing the figure into some kind of context. I don't like to leave figures just blank. When I like a pose or figure I like to "decorate" them more. (btw I dont really watch that show XD the figure just reminded me of what I know about it)

I see someone likes Nintendo, heh.

One thing I would say is that your lines could use some work in those pen drawings, they're a little bit messy at the moment. A tip I can suggest to get better, more confident lines is to make quick strokes with the pen, which can produce more precise, cleaner lines. Takes a bit of practice though. Another thing I can suggest is to perhaps make little strokes above the paper before actually placing lines, as it can help you get a more precise trajectory for your lines. I can see you've shaded those drawings, which is good, but again the shading looks a bit scribbly. Perhaps you could try a method such as cross-hatching.

Anyway, you've got some good stuff so far. Keep it coming!

Done at night at work when there was nothing to do. Tools used were a multi colored ballpen, text markers and black ink/a black waterbrush.

RE: Da Sketchbook of da Horse - lurch - 10-02-2015

i like the girls in this last post, would be cool to see you push something, develop it and take it a bit further, maybe work in some reference studies too, i like your stuff tho, but it looks like you've got more to show us.
