Chachava's 'Sketchbook'

[Chachava]

I got round to working up one of the sniper rifle sketches I did earlier in the week, I had meant to do all 3, but as with the swords, this took me a LOT longer than I had anticipated. In the end it took me around about 5 hours to complete (not including the initial sketch), which I have a feeling is a time that I'm going to need to drastically cut down if I want to get anywhere as a concept artist. I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as the swords from yesterday, but a lot of that is down to having a blinding headache at the moment. Anyway, as always, comments and crits are more than welcome.



For the last few weeks I've been spending a week concentrating mostly on one aspect of the things I want to improve on, then working on other things when I have a bit of spare time. This has been working pretty well for me so far so I'm going to continue with that trend. So next week I'm going back to anatomy as there are a few things I really want to work on (like hands for instance), then next time I come round to working on prop/weapon design I'm going to attempt to make a full set of something (like pistol, smg, assault rifle, sniper rifle etc. ), concentrating on the design language and making them actually look like part of a set, it should be an interesting exercise.
