jmgallo's sketchbook

[jmgallo]

So it took me a few days to get started. Wanted to start the sketchbook out with something cool. Whats cooler that Christopher Lee? Very little.

This is an hour long study and I am reminded for the second day in a row how rusty I am. It was difficult to put the stylus down at the one hour mark, as I could see immediately some things I did wrong, blah. So I am still rusty but that's why I am here, right? Here's to improvement!



Here was the reference:

[Ursula Dorada]

Welcome Jim!
Rock on :D

You're right, there is very little cooler.. Maybe Christopher Walken? He's a bad ass.

Welcome to the forums, Great start!

Next study: Gandalf

Much happier with this than Saruman, though I spent a bit more time on this one. 90 minutes. Feels good to be doing this :)

Jennifer Lawrence study. ENTIRELY TOO LONG. Had to force myself to stop.

Tonight I return to middle earth with a study of Thorin Oakenshield. I didn't even really time it, but it was a couple of hours.

Study of Morpheus still from The Matrix.

[Ursula Dorada]

Oooh nice one man!
Dont be afriad to pull some real black in there to make the contrast pop a bit more :) Just be selective about where to put it.
