Ok, lately I discovered the mixer brush and I'm studying his potential to use on my paintings. You'll see, now on more aplications with colour dinamycs and mixer brushes on my work. Be safe guys!
RE: Chastinet's Sketchbook - Matheus Chastinet - 01-16-2019
So, some refinement of some sketches of clouds and some studies.
RE: Chastinet's Sketchbook - darktiste - 01-16-2019
Thank for the reminder that cloud also absorb yellow light aswell as reflect the ground color in low altitute sometime it good to observe other people work and simply look at what going on to inject to your own work.
RE: Chastinet's Sketchbook - Matheus Chastinet - 01-16-2019
Darktiste: Thank you man! I hope that helped you out with some knowledge!
RE: Chastinet's Sketchbook - Fedodika - 01-16-2019
I remember so vividly, doing stacks of pages of these, like these whimsical impressions of an arm. You could probably go back in my early sketchbook and see these "practices" lol.
http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/attachments/110564/04.png
If you want it straight up here it is.
1. don't paint, in color, until you get drawing locked down solid.
2. If you do shade, have it be minimal, prove it shows an understanding of form. literally, dont spend more than 30 minutes shading anything until youre drawings are very very accurate, else the shading wont help it
3. learn very basic perspective/ ie drawabox.com
4. learn anatomy, prokos great for that, to the point you can draw nice limbs from imagination that would match a realistic chart or photo.
5. practice memory drawing, look at a reference, copy it, hide the reference, do it from memory, check the reference, it forces observation even if very little, youll notice a difference.
I wasted a whooooole lotta time, visit my sketchbook, doing the stuff youre doing now:
Goofy faces from imagination

Hey guys! Finally some feedbacks!! Hahaa! Good to see you guys!!
Fedodika:
Thank you man! I'll keep your advices on my sketchbook! Right now, I'm studying anatomy using the Michael Hampton books series.
I tried drawabox for 1 month and I wasn't prepare to his homeworks and ideas ate the time, so I didn't learned to much.
Loved your number 5 advice! I'll try it sometime.
About this statement, this painting is a piece of a big project of a course that I'm doing about Illustration for Games, I can show you here, the complete process of this piece! "Long painted pieces that have no relation to any studies and have broken structure and gesture
http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/attachme...o-cara.jpg". Nevertheless, thank you for your atention and the time spent on my sketchbook! You are VERY welcome man!!! Please, come back more!
Gliger:

RE: Chastinet's Sketchbook - Fedodika - 01-30-2019
i like what youre doing so far, one thing id reccomend is taking a picture into photoshop of a figure and trying to find the major construction boxes/cyllinders, using a layer above, to help you start visualizing them. Also if you do gestures, say of the front or profile of the body, try to at least show some volume by using a wrapping contour line to show form, else itll just look flat
RE: Chastinet's Sketchbook - Matheus Chastinet - 10-26-2019
Hi guys!!! I'm back!!! At least!!
Fedodika:
Thank you man! I'll try yout advices in my next studies!
So, I'm back after a hiatus of study, I'm so sad with my self, but it's ok. I'll post new studies and what I'm up to.
Att,
Matheus Chastinet
RE: Chastinet's Sketchbook - Rotohail - 10-26-2019
Heya thanks for stepping over my SB!
Holy cow! Where's that clothing/wrinkle painting from, did you make it!? Looks like I need it in my life. Those studies also, damn! I need it!!
So what happened, why did you leave? Maybe it's not a topic to touch on. But man, you have everything here going on the right direction, studies, personal pieces, everything looking better as you work on it. Get back in the saddle!
I'm especially liking the horror/sci-fi monsters? They have a really dark souls vibe! I think backgrounds like me, are the bane of your existence! ha ha. We need to work on those! We should pledge each other allegiance on the fight against backgrounds. We will stand atop the defeated carefully textured hill, with dexterous strokes, looking proudly at the golden soft gradients on the sky, through a painterly fog of battle that we just overcame! Are you in!? Ha.
Are you in!?
