Zakknroll's sketchbook

[zakknroll]

Hi people, I'm openning my sketchbook here.
As I Said on my "Introduce Yourself" Thread I'm here Because I want to Improve and grow up as an artist, I love comic art (actualy mostly european comics) and now I hope to work with Concept art and Character Designer, But before I give my first try I need to be an good artist, So here I am, waiting for feedback and critics that will make me a better artist.

PS: I'm improving my english as well, so I hope you don't mind my mistakes on it.

I've been training everyday, everyday really, the most hours I can, I study composition, anatomy, gesture drawings, painting, animation principes and so on . Some months Ago I saw the Algenpfleger Thread on Conceptart.org an after I get so amazed with the results he got I'm trying something similar now.

Well, Let me start:

---

First some photo studies, In the beggining I was using the PS color Picker, cause I had a lot of dificult to 'see" the right color,, but now I'm training and just picking the color wih "my eyes".



Trying skin tones(I failed):

Later I'll post more.

Hey!
Thanks for the comment in my SB ^^

I see you're following a study method, never saw that sb before on CA.
I do see however that you jumped right into the colors.

Don't forget to study the fundamentals like perspective and anatomy :)
Keep at it and have fun ^^!

Thank you Spectrex, to be honest with you I've been working on anatomy as well, I just didn't post anything, but I'll cause I really want to receive some advices about it.

Hey buddy!

These studies are coming along well!

I was about to say: make sure to translate what you studied into imagination pieces... buuuuut-- you've got that covered already so good job!

I guess I would just have to say keep it up and make sure you keep at it no matter what ^^!

Oh, you're right, I need to do more imagination pieces based on that I did study, sometimes I forgot what I did study from day to another, so that's may be the reason. Thank you for the advice, It's important to me.

Some old sketches I already posted on my CA sketchbook a time ago, I'm posting it here just for.... to you guys know what kind of drawing I like to do (very cartoonish) but now I'm learning realist anatomy cause I'll be ready for draw everything this way (well, at least I supose it)






That's it for now.

Hey Junior! Great that you opened a sketchbook here! Here a few things that came to my mind when I looked at your work. First I really like some of your own sketches and designs like the ones frome post #7 They are fun to look at! You also seem to have a feeling for forms and space. I like your gesture studys, but I think you could try to draw more long, continuous, flowy lines. In case you are not familiar with it, Proko has a great figure drawing series on youtube. Another thought that I had, is that you could try to focus your studies on more essential things. I´d advice you, to first focus on drawing realted subjects like perspective for example. Then you maybe go on to values and finally colour theory. Keep it up man!

[DoubleThink]

Wow, you're picking up the digital painting really fast!

Keep posting!

Hi there i want to share my opinion with you i think that you should try to make realistic portrait before going into a stylized style so that you know anatomy well after that you will be even better at exaggeration.

[Mr. Toodles]

some strong effort in this so far, why not start with some composition studies of masters, I'm sure they'll give you a feel for scale and shapes. welcome to the forum :)

[zakknroll]

Wow, too many comments \o/

Matthias Kinnigkeit - Thank you, I'll.do more focus studies, please, come back here always you want to. =)

DoubleThink - thank you so much, I'll you keep doing that and I hope to see you again here. ;)

darktiste - Thanks, I'll follow your advice, I'll post that soon.

Mr. Toodles - Thanks a ton for the tip, I'll do some master studies. Hey, don't you have a skethbook here? I didn't find it.

So, some new stuff:
Gestures (60 sec each):



A quickly landscape paiting from imagination, I didn't like the colors:
