Janos´ Sketchbook

[Janos]

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and starting on the first one.”

― Mark Twain

so here is my first one

[iamorim]

Good lines. I think there are a little perspective mistakes but I don't know too much to confirm that.

Did you use pen and markers? Keep posting some more!!

[Artur J]

If this is supposed to be symmetrical then right wing doesn't seem right, way too close.

[Janos]

Artur you right i got also make a perspective mistake on the other side :P
I will try to work with more patiencend next time!

Iamorim!! yes it was marker first C1 than inking. and after that i tried to render it the best i can :P

[smrr]

Well hell yes, Janos!

Great start to your sketchbook! I also love that quote you began with <3

Have you been watching/reading some Scott Robertson? I received his book for Christmas but haven't really started reading it yet D:

Keep it up, you know a lot already, looking forward to your next update!

[Janos]

hey smrrfette ! I try to manipulate my subconscious so in fact I got these Frace and some more hanging at my wall. This works for me pretty well my whole life. To achieve and accomplish my goals. I got also More you Draw better you get :P It´s a Marathon not a sprint but what is the most important for me is "BE PATIENT"! :)

Scott Robertson is incredible !! I love all his stuff. I preorderd the book. But I had to wait 1 month longer to get it thanks to Amazon :P and now I try not to rush it to much. The great thing is you can read it complete and than you can start to try all the stuff in the book !!!

[Janos]

The creepy locking face was one of my first choal drawings/portraits...it may look creppy but i learnd sooo much about values and seeing areas in the face...try to draw just with values

Follow Betty Edwards From Line to Value to Color to Painting :P

color & render it in ps next day´s

[Janos]

heyyy yooo!!!

this was my work from today...i really can say "I LEARNED A LOT" today..

the plan was to render my police car sketch (above) and color it.

I paint over it with 10% grey. Than I start the line-work. This took me about 4 hours I think. Problem was I had some perspective issues.

In the end I changed the "design" if you can call it design :P

But what helped me the most or where I learned the most was the inking process.

I think I level up xDDD

when I finished the line-work I render it with 30% 50% 70% an took 5%-0% white for my highlights.
That's the way I did it already traditionally a lot of times.
Put the Layers to RGB and play with Color Balance :)

All in all this took me 10 hours today. It is just one sketch but it have a lot of value for me :D
My old football coach would say " Ask your self ! Did I become better or worse today?"

I can say "I became better today"!

Gonne watch Arrow now peace!

[Janos]

I think the blue is just too dominant.

And most of those adventure maps are not as much saturated, maybe thats a way to go.

Keep it comin :D
