Vandalls Sketchbook

[Vandall]

Hey there, I'm Vandall. I usually draw characters and such but I've been trying to get into general illustration but my brain is stupid, I find it hard to learn sometimes and have to hammer things in. I'd really like some suggestions on my work and critique trying to do everything I can to get better.

That tatoo-woman is great.

[Vandall]

Thank you! Shes my latest, it is from referance however, need to try doing more from imagination to see if I can apply my knowladge.

[Vandall]

Trying to understand arms better.

Armor and Model

[Vandall]

Some armor studies I worked on for the first half of last night. And a landscape attempt for the second half, I'm very pleased with myself with this one, I never paint landscapes really.

[Vandall]

Another armor study, I liked how the armor was slightly buckled this time and I could see how the light refracts around, and some terrible arm drawings, ended up focusing in how the muscles wrapped around the forearm.

[Vandall]

A WIP and a study that ended up being far more helpful then I thought it would.

[Vandall]

Update on the Knight before bed.

[kidult]

Nice going, I'd say add some studies from life to your schedule and also material studies.

[EduardoGaray]

nice sketchbook mate, yeah more studies will help you to boost your abilities, even with this last illustration looks like a huge step in quality.

[Vandall]

Thanks for the advice, ill start painting stuff off my desk and such, Material studies should be fun for tonight :)

[Vandall]

Forgot about these, just some face copies and so on.

[Vandall]

I think I'm done with this for now.

[Annamoon]

Cool great warrior. I like the armor.

[Vandall]

Begining work on my Ronin! Drawing. Perspective seems off to my brain maybe I'm over thinking it.

[Chiritsu]

Ho yeah! Your beaten up knight looks really awesome :D

[Vandall]

All the thanks to you for your help on him Chiritsu!

Progress on Ronin!

[Vandall]

I feel like I lost my way on this, got lazy, maybe I'll come back to it, so for now I just made something silly and fun out of it to cheer myself up.

awesome sketchbook man, i hope you do get hardcore this year i think you could seriously improve, you have vision and design sense try to improve those, study a bit before making a design really give it a fair share ammount of thought on why teh drawing is how it is, also when drawing portraits the relationships between the features are very important as well, also i see you could improve on getting the general shape of the hair better that its also a very important part in the likeness of a portrait, keep it up i expect to see alot more!
