Jones Sketchbook

[Jonesoda]

Woke up a bit earlier, at noon, Got a bit more done today.

First time trying silhouettes, Cartoon-y portrait, body with no reference to see where I'm at with understanding of the body - It's pretty clear which part's I need to work on more, also painting some hands I had drawn earlier, came out really dark.

I want to be making cool/badass characters, characters+environments and so forth. Not super refined/digital-y looking, I've always liked stuff that's a bit more rough but not so rough that it looks unfinished. To get there I think this is what I need to learn (off the top of my head) -

* anatomy (A given..)
*Armor/Metal
*Clothing/Drapery
*Lighting/darkness
*Environments

Also I've been more interested in sci-fi type stuff like mechs and futuristic themes. I was reading some thing and this one dude first studied a lamp he had to learn hinges and so forth - And then made it more complex for his mechs. thought that was pretty cool. Something to possibly study.

Otherwise been sketching a lot more, idea's, characters etc. It's pretty dang messy and ugly but If I draw a lot it should naturally improve while keeping up studies and my digital art.
