Jerry's Sketchbook ( Noooobie )

[JerryActric]

Hey Jerry, hard work as always. :D One thing I noticed with your skin textures, especially on that skin sphere...you're making the pore texture way too apparent. Pores and little imperfections in skin are really subdued, it's like background noise. Anyway keep it up man. ^_^

Thank you man, and you are so correct about the textures, haha i cant believe i didnt realize that, but i guess you cant see whats wrong untill you know it ! thank you :)

good stuff, your workin hard - keep at it man

Thank you man, huge progress in the last few weeks from you !

Do you own any of Andrew Loomis' books? They are mostly what I study out of, so awesome. (pretty sure they are free online cause he's dead: http://www.alexhays.com/loomis/ )

Hello again ! i do but i actually dont use them anymore, it sounds crazy but i feel like i learn things much faster and stronger by making my own methods. I used Loomis and all that originally though!

Doing a ton of work man. And it's clearly paying off. Getting so much better. Only thing I would say is your textures sometimes seem kinda heavy handed. Like with skin and stuff. Keep it up though, looking good so far :).

Thank you :) it seems everyone is working hard and getting better and better, its exciting ! but once you guys said about the textures it was so obvious to me haha, i've tried to back right off and just imply that the texture is there from now ! thank you :)

so here is some more stuff, Seems like i was procrastinating a little too much, so i wrote my self up a schedule and im going to see how that goes starting from today

Doing value scales every day to try and get better



me trying to find my own method for determining values haha


frantic sketching of working out a shape to draw heads, seem i feel more comfortable building them out of square to find the jaw angles and placement. Works alot easier for me

corell painter doodles, just trying it out


Sp that was better then the last but still poop


after talking to brent i tried a few ways of applying texture


painted from life


then from imagination


Then painting some arms from imagination , but i HATE the valueso n these, all flat poop


Landscapes, from imagination and study





Before any studies :O
