Gotta Get Better

[Helianthe]

Hello there, 
As I said in my introduction post, I am starting my sketchbook thread. I don't see the point in clogging the thread with too old drawings because I want to move forward and progress, so I am going to post the drawings I'm doing in my current sketchbook. Sorry if it's a bit dirty, my sketchbook has thin, see-through pages, I cleaned a bit but it's still rough.

I'll start with the oldest one (almost 1 month ago)  and I'll upload some more tomorrow!

I have to give a 120 pages sketchbook to my school so all my studies go there. Once I'm done with it I'll probably post digital painting stuff  too :) I might even start to make some very soon because I have less than 60 pages left.

I started with some skulls, mostly from Anatomy4sculptors and Gottfried Bammes' "Complete Guide to Life Drawing".




More Gottfried Bammes: 



Studies of posespace's models:




This is a copy from a concept art piece of Tevinter architecture, from The Art of Dragon Age: Inquisition. The building below is from a promotional photo of England, for tourism I think?




I also love copying from Willwestonstudio . I think his stuff is great, and really informative when combined to other sources. 



Hands studies. Some from Stefano Lanza , some from photo refs (probably pixelovely)





More studies, trying to be accurate. David and a model from posespace. 





Leg studies, all from either WillWestonStudio or Gottfried Bammes' book.





Voilà!

Welcome to the Daggers! 

Great start to your sketchbook. your Figures are really well done and nice to look at.

Thanks a lot man! 

There are the last of today's batch, I couldn't post them because of the 10 images limit :p 

More studies of the leg featuring the angry face memo (it helps to know the relation between the muscles of the "lower leg")

I'M BACK!

Sorry for being inactive for so long, especially when I just arrived... but my hand got injuried and since then my life has been pretty crazy. I really want to connect with the artists on this forum though so here I am again!

I'd like to share with you a piece I did for the character design challenge of last month. The theme was gladiators as you probably know. It was my first submission and I am glad that I finished it in time. I think that despite all the imperfections I still improved a lot .(I improved while doing it too and I think I'll do better next time!)

I find it quite stiff and I think the anatomy is messed up lol. What do you guys think?

Hey Helianthe. A lot of CD members are on Discord. Here's the link https://discord.gg/azX8fwT. I can understand how the forum format isn't conducive enough to hold a conversation and maybe Discord might help with that.

Get well soon and awesome work!

Hey John, thanks a lot! A CD discord is a great idea, I'll go right about now! Thanks again for the link!
