What ImSkeptical learnt this week (Sketchbook)

[ImSkeptical]

Flo - Thanks buddy. And yeah, edges are probably me getting carried away with the smudge brush ever since i messed around with a bunch of different brush settings and found I could use it everywhere xD

vatteh - Thanks! Yeah notes are the best, gotta make sure you're thinking! Most important. And yes memory studies are great! I spend the first 30 minutes of each day drawing random things on paper i can remember from the last day before i do morning things. I feel like i got a lot better when I started doing this.

So took it a bit easier this week. Much more random sketches of future things i might put more thought, planning and time into. Here's the stuff.







Randumb sketches just testing imagination/memory, being a weakpoint of mine. I should've sized them lower they look horrible large :(. Stealing Aaron Becks ideas for robot. I'm planning to do something with those char designs at the end though. Gonna do a set of 6 designs, cloth, leather, plate fantasy archetypes but 3 realism and 3 stupidly impractical. So currently having fun exploring. Probably gonna have to look at more ref to bring it out from me just dicking around.




Sketch for CGMA contest (http://www.cgma2dacademy.com/contest-2013/), and WIP for my Aria fanart. Slow going on that :(



Quick 1hr Richard Schmid study for brushwork and water.






And I went life drawing for the first time! It was fun, but personally now having been, I think its not as necessary as most people seem to claim. I'll talk more about it on my blog.

Thanks for lookin, see ya next week :D.
