Scott Rob Studies

































I HATE ACRYLIC :@





I was watching scott robersons basic drawing DVD and he said when he was in school he was filling cheap sketchbooks with freehand lines from the elbow, this gives you confidence with your stoke instead of "petting" your lines. So i did i on both PhotoShop and cheap Wh smith paper

IT MAY NOT LOOK EXICTING OR AWESOME BUT IT HELPS TONNES WITH LINE QUAILTY PLUS NOW I HARDLY USE SHIFT OR UNDO MY LINES

DRAW FROM YOUR ELBOW!!!!!

Very nice sketchbook there sir. The lines studies are intriguing, and I adore the basic shapes studies, specially the one with three values in it. Awesome.

[Cricketts]

Crazy stuff, are you lassoing out your shapes or something?

I love the basic design stuff, it looks great and the way you've been rendering form is awesome too.

keep it up.

nope i paint my shapes freehand then
i use selections if the shape has any gradations
dont use any off photoshops blending modes, i paint all my values
i know i can use say multiply for cast shadows but i want to be deliberate with all my choices and not leave it to the software
mostly stick to 2 layers

Good lookin work in here for sure Iggy.

That one monster with the scorpion like tail has some nice rendering just suffers a bit from a stiff pose. I've been having a similiar problem with my characters and one solution I found was to first establish what the character can be doing.

One way to do this is to come up with some ambiguous action phrases. For example if your character is a knight, you know they probably have a weapon of some sort, so you can write down something as simple as "swinging a sword" or "sheathing a sword" your mind will generate a ton of poses just from one little action phrase and then you can just sketch them out really quickly in a gesture like format. Anyway, it's a lot easier than just jumping right into painting a character/monster without any idea what you want the pose to be.

Might be a pretty obvious method, but it seems to be helping me a bit. Hope you can get something out of it, anyway keep up the great work.
