Sula's Sketchbook

[Ursula Dorada]

Thank you Mactire :)

Gotta keep trying. Focusing a lot more on shapes now, specially after today's Gurney's blog post.

[Ursula Dorada]

So I have this little dirty folder called "photoshop junky" were I dump all my non professional stuff.
So this weekend I have nothing professional to show, so here have this little weird sketch. I promise you all I have been trying, but I am on a low atm.



Ok, scanned this because a friend asked, so why not drop it in here too. Still studying faces. Next up in expressions, awaiting for my books from Amazon.

Here, have a creepy little sketch.

More warm up before delving into portfolio piece

[DK]

Wooo, nice, makin progress! Just keep pushin forward! You could try to do some really quick face gestures every now and then, just to get yourself warmed up before a longer study or imagination piece.

Also, try not to feel too low even when life gets too shitty. Just look at this guy: Motivation

[Ursula Dorada]

Hahaha thanks Dennis!
Awesome video.

I will go back to gestures, been a while since I have done them. Really focusing on longer studies for sure nowadays.

Here. One more for today.

I like the elf girl and that one before. You're clearly getting better. Keep it up!

[Jonesoda]

Really enjoyed going through your sketchbook. I especially like the 'warm up' elf. Will be keeping an eye on your sketchbook.

[Ursula Dorada]

Thanks for stopping by guys :D

And here, sketchbook dump! Seems I have been really into fanart this days eh. There is a lot of Loki here, and I am not really sorry for that. Also dug up my decent art materials, like my 9B and by canson papers. Fun. I am starting to really enjoy graphite as a medium.











I do have a problem drawing guys propely - I am trying to focus this ...fangirling into something useful at least.

hehe:D seeing all this beautifull sketches makes me wanna draw! Cool stuff in here!:D

[DK]

Very cool pencils!

[Jamesxwu]

Really like your penciled stuff too!

[stace]

Incredible sketchbook! Even though you say you'd like more time to practice and study, it's good to see that you're making the best of your freetime. I love your pencil stuff, such confidence with the gestures and poses. Some of the photoshop stuff comes off dark on my screen, would love to see a little variety. Otherwise, keep it up! :D

[brenthollowell]

lookin good dude

[Ursula Dorada]

Yay, so much love! thanks guys :D I'll try and post pencils more often. I have been doing them regularly, it's nice to see it's showing ^^

@Stace: thank you! It's kinda awkward because I do a lot of random stuff at my day job (I do work on an illustration studio), so when I get home I am just itching to do what I could not have done at work heheh. Also, this last few weeks I have been focusing on faces - to finally fix them, since they were a wreck. Next step are expressions, then I will probably focus on environments. And thanks for stopping by! <3

AAAAnnnnd WIP flood. :p I will try not to flood it too much, but I will post a couple of WIPs before calling this done. Any comments and feedback are more than welcome!

[Jamesxwu]

Like where this piece is going, are you going to continue it?

[Chrysley]

Really nice sketches you got here. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

[wla91]

Really good, looking forward to see the progress on that piece!

[isra-ac]

It's been a while since last time I checked this SB, you posted so many good pencil drawings : D Good job with the portraits too. Looking forward to the last one : )

[Ursula Dorada]

Yay, thanks for the comments guys!
I said I wasn't going to spam it, but it's so hard to keep this not updated, so please bear with me.
(also, I prefer to scan sketches in batches :p)

And yes James! I have every intention to finish it. :D
Going to try and make this one less dark.
Couple more hours into it, trying to nail down the colors and abuse a bit more of texture brushes.
