Shin's Sketchbook

[ShinOkami]

Hey Shin !
Well, not many people can make studies like legs, hands and basic shapes interesting, but you certainly can ! You've got some serious skills in the "interesting" department. Your improvement is pretty fenomenal from page 1 as I saw others have stated too ;).
Can you give me an idea what's the direction you want to go further ? illustrations in a certain style or some other specific subjects ? asking because maybe I'll be able to recommend some stuff/books/tuts/.

cheers !

Hi ! :D
Thanks for the comments, I do agree on the fact that studies can be boring, our brain goes into defence mode whenever we find something new, something that we never thought about before. So whenever I can, I always try to make it fun and interesting at least for me, if you find it the same way, then that's even better :)

Well, every day I always look up at something new but definitely some illustrations in manga style or something not so much stylized and fun is what I'm working on now.

If you put sphere pyramid or box atleast try to use the light so there cast shadow on all of them.It seem stupid but thinking about cast shadow can help guide the eye to certain element in a illustration.It specially important for illustrator to understand how to altern pattern of light and shadow to create area of contrast for from to read.Just take the example of a box in the dark you don't know if it a box or not.It the alternace of light and shadow that create form but i don't think i need to tell you that.I just want to point out to think about how you can use those 2 pattern to indicate form.

Yes ! Cast shadows can tell so much. I always tend to forget them for some reason but I'll try to play with light and shadows more, I think I'm just too afraid of that now :)
