What ImSkeptical learnt this week (Sketchbook)

[ImSkeptical]

So close Dennis, you get 5 points xD. It was SF, but it was Cammy, stand jab, stand strong, crouching fierce then crouching strong (just incase someone wanted to know :D). I took your advice and really pushed myself to not just do studies, but i didn't get to finish the piece i worked on. Oh well, i have a problem it that i need people to help with though.

Thanks ramalooke, i checked out your stuff too, you're getting it done to xD. So many people leveling up at crimson daggers :D.

Thanks for the encouragement ici!. I actually took a break from doing so much hard surface because i was doing it in 3d xD. I need to get around to showing the little i've learnt in that. But yeah, i'm taking your advice of fluid figures by going back to studying loomis and vilppu.

Hey Jerry, man you always have great reference! Your google-fu is so much better than mine xD. Keep on working at it you're getting there!


So this week was me trying to not just do a study a do a personal piece, which i always have trouble with xD. I think its because i think and plan too much, as opposed to just being willing to get something out. I managed to get sketches of 2 ideas i managed to not think myself out of, so hopefully i get both done in 2 weeks! Other than that, studies were targeted at really nailing a process for learning using minimal brushstrokes (greg manchess style), keeping in mind that it will probably be distinct to the process when doing concept work or creating a personal piece. I'll write about it next week if i still like it.










And here's my personal work. It's not finished yet, and i need help in deciding which drawing looks better/ less incorrect. In future, im probably going to setup a clay diorama or something to figure out the perspective/foreshortening better, because its horrible how much time i spent just switching between the two every now and then xD.






I'll post it in the critique/paintover thread too. Cya next week, work less hard so i can catch up to you all xD.
