Othrandir's sketchbook

[Othrandir]

just some sketches during classes

[natzetta]

hnng, love all the hands! *o*

One thing I noticed, though: You tend to draw noses very long/ stretch the midsection of the faces too much. Shortening the midsection would make them look more realistic and in proportion. :)

[Othrandir]

natzetta - Thanks , man! I will definitely keep that in mind ,proportion is one of my biggest ennemies :D

sketches 'n stuff

ChocolateCookie - Heh , thanks! Waiting for your updates :)


heads.(from mind)



hands.(from mind)

Lookin good dude! If you can get your hands on a model skull and sketch it from a lot of angels you'll be amazed at how much more 'solid' you can make your heads look. Again, a model, not a picture, the 'actual' thing will teach you all you need to know about head and face structure. I'm liking your experimental approach to using digital. Keep it up!

[Othrandir]

Jkutz - I definitely would like me a model :O I'm getting kinda bored with the whole picture thing , but I can't find a cheap big enough one and I'm kinda low on cash right now :D I'll think of something...

quick ( 30 min ) environment photo study

Experimenting is the best thing to learn! It's great to take challanges :D

Yours enviro piece looks like divided in 2 inconsistent pieces. Down part of picture looks for me good- the ligtning, the usage of brushes is good. But the upper part - the clouds, don't look good as well. A suggestion is - maybe take a time for practice clouds? Try that as one of your experimenting training :)

[Othrandir]

Mannequin - Thanks for the advice :)



a no opacity study from this morning...damn that's hard :D

[JakeB]

You've got a really cool approach to your stuff man. The environments study looked awesome, really liking the sharp shapes. And great sketchbook work. Keep it up :)

[Othrandir]

JakeB - Thanks man! :)
