Raph's Sketchverse

[Raphael_Nadeau]

@sansReAnne ; Yeh man it's pretty hard to finish a sketchbook, I always have difficulties when I have like 25 pages left. The sketchbook seems to never end ahah. But I learned to just do stuff with focus and the really care about the result, I care more about doing it and the process and thoughts while doing it. With studies like those quick hands/feet/head studies I am trying to find repeating simple shapes and how I could use them while I am doing it without ref. But yeh man, don't aim ''just do it'' ;) !

@AfricanVoodoo ; Thanks man, yeh I am pretty passionate about getting good and improving. 
So you would have to do around 6.5 pages per day, if I don't count the holidays week I had that page average. The mindset I had while doing this was also to try to always do more pages than I was supposed to (the average I calculated) during the day because that way if I had some unexpected event I would be good and I could take some time to draw something else since I was ahead of the schedule. Mainly Cause I know that I could loss the motivation near the end so I was better to do more at the beginning. I saw during this 93 pages/19 days that it is pretty doable to do a 200 pages sketchbook in a months, but if I did it I would have to do only that and that could hurt my abilities to have ideas and draw from imagination. On the other side, it is a good way to get you going and to spark the motivation and the have a good work ethic and schedule. 
For armor/military ref i mainly go on pinterest and yeh I hope it can help me with my design while I draw from imagination. I scheduled to study costuming/armor on Wednesday, so 1 time per week.

Hope it helps dudes !

so didn't do much during holiday week... finished the 6 pages left.
