ANDREW GIBBONS SKETCHBOOK

[xelfereht]

Preparing to take on portrait commissions so wanted to see how long it would take me to render one to my liking.
About 6 hours apparently

this is of Zhang Ziyi

[xelfereht]

Took the time to open some old PSDs and put some WIP pics together

hope they are of some interest :P

[xelfereht]

Happy New Year
here's some tooth wearing tribal woman thang I'm working on tonight

[xelfereht]

Did some portraits on twitch
can follow me there if you wanna hang out sometime :)

[xelfereht]

Some profile portrait studies i did on twitch
trying to mainly get an understanding facial feature variations from this view and to a lesser extent painting in color
want to improve my faces from imagination

[Fedodika]

watch some proportions specially in the eye socket area! LOVE THE TONGUES!!

[xelfereht]

@Febro
I know the proportions aren't too accurate. I was over emphasizing to try get the shapes stuck in my head, kinda the way going a bit more blocky helps me get forms remembered. you aren't wrong though!
I'm just experimenting with ways I can better absorb info from studies and I feel the over emphasizing does help but I will probably need to then revisit proportion basics. Trying to beak up the info I'm trying to take in I guess? lol

here's some foot studies.. I thought I'd rather concentrate on lines cos I wanna get better at drawing without reference so i can sketch out more appealing characters quick and easy

[Fedodika]

tbh bro there's only two of those heads i see an issue with and its the dark one near the top (smaller one) and the other brown skinned one near the center of the bottom. Their eyes are just place weird or too big, but the rest are pretty accurate for the most part :)

Life's been a bit rough on me the past few months/years..
but anyway, here's some paintings I did for my friends Burger joint

Boy I find it daunting laying designs over fabric.. but I'm satisfied enough with how it turned out



I used the opportunity to do a master study of this Michelangelo and then added the extra bits after
I don't do master copies much and there are so many variations in color of this image online.
did what I could and think I took away some new knowledge and appreciation for the work

[Fedodika]

PARODYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[xelfereht]

Have not posted for a while and haven't been painting allot..
because I got a puppy and it's a handful
anyway here's a fem Venom

[Fedodika]

I like the concept! I think she'd benefit from some tighter rendering, like making the strokes less chalky and more slick, or maybe more reflective. or maybe just think of how to add some pop to the image via making the big white design on the torso more sharp and pronounced; Love the spiderwebs and composition ;)

[xelfereht]

a quicky caricatured portrait of a friend
I have been painting but theyre all works in progress..

[xelfereht]

I did some further rendering on this piece
and already see more things I wanna fix.. damnit

[xelfereht]

I think it obviously comic anatomy but a good study of anatomy might be needed it alway good to revisit.

yeah its still very much a WIP. i haven't gotten around to addressing the anatomy
when its more completed maybe anatomy crits will be helpful, its still just a sketch lol
but yes anatomy study is always good to revisit ;)

[xelfereht]

some progress on this one.. still working on it right now but just needed to procrastinate a bit...
