Jaik's Sketches & Thoughts

[Jaik]

riroriorio & Nibelwolf: Thanks :D

Smrrfette: I think the studies done, not sure if I can learn anything more. There's some changes I want to make, but its probably more beneficial to just do another one lol.

Rama: Should definitely try and make it next year! Would be awesome to meet you :) And yes, I hope I will improve faster now too :D

Lyra: Life is something I really want to start doing more of. I went to life drawing once last week, then they told me it was closed till feb -______- but I'll get into it more then, see if I can work out some way to do digital work while I am there, on my ipad, or take a laptop or something.. I may have once had it filled with coffee then absent mindedly took a sip and ruined the whole thing -___- Combination of eyeball and construction, getting the ellipses correct was a pain lol.

Bjulvar: Haha I may have kind of totally meant a spoon.. The cup is a pain in the ass because of getting the right degrees in the ellipse. I have got a still life set up that I am studying now which is taking ages, but after that (probably next week) we should totally both do some sort of eating utensil every day. Friendly competition is always a good motivator. Oh and it took me ages to work out that jazz bassline, then i got it and laffed :P

Thanks Prabu :D

Frenik: Those studies should be coming this week! Hopefully.. it's really something I have to work on and I keep putting it off lol. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks Tygerson! :)

Ok this week I got better on Monday, had 2 days of good health then got another flu -__- feel better today though.. so maybe this week I can concentrate a bit better.

I started a still life of the Bali mask I got overseas.. Totally regret it, its so detailed and difficult.. looks kind of cool but its taking three times as much as I thought it would. Hopefully I will upload that next week, but I didn't want to upload it for the same reason I don't like telling people goals or uploading WIPs often, because you get that nice feeling of 'yeah, people like it, thats cool' then you loose motivation to finish it because its the same feeling you get when you upload the finished piece xP

Skull study form last week that I couldnt be bothered scanning.


Finished the study, theres some anatomy errors, and some edges are a little offf, but i was concentrating more on value and skin tones, mind you, the background is a little too dark too. which could have put off the rest.


Monkey study, for an illustration I want to do, which is also the purpose of the bali mask life study.


Memory revision
