Dom Sinkevic's Sketchbook

[eru]

love your studies man you create stuff that still look like they exist in the real world, although you have change much to that panther it still remains as a panther with cyborg equipment still good designs. Do you paint traditionally too, like oil and stuff ?

[DomSinkevic]

Sorry for the log absence!

Eru: I mostly draw with pencil and markers, it's been a while since I painted traditionally.

Here are some stuff I made. More to come. Hope you like it!

great studies! I like how your explain what you're doing to yourself. Inner dialogues are great! ;P
Something I noticed is a lot of your studies have washed-out effect to them. (lower saturation, gravitating towards middle values) -could be you're avoiding darker dark/lighter lights, the reference you're using, or it could be your monitor's contrast not turned all the way down. (just as a heads up)
Also, just out of curiosity, what brush did you use for the bust study? -looks great! O_o

Thanks Heliux, I'm mostly avoiding 1 and 10 values as they rarely appear in nature, even if the photo has a 10 in them I tend to not go below 9.5. Yea, I started using dialogue with myself after watching Forest Imel's tutorial on studies! I can say that it helps a lot to memorize. And about the question, I tried to remember which one, but I can't, it was in one of the brush packs given away under the number 93. Sorry! Thanks for stopping by.

Some unfinished studies I got bored with

[DomSinkevic]

Little rant

I want to be transparent with you guys and start to post failed sketches too. Why not? You see a lot of artist posting their very best stuff, neat studies and in my opinion that creates an illusion that they are perfect and don't ever create a bad drawing. That can create unrealistic goals for the person who follows their sketchbooks. I'm not saying I'm good at painting/drawing and I'm not saying to splatter them all around the internet. Sketchbook is a development thread and I just want to see those bad ones!I want to encourage people posting up their too. Get those fails posting! If any of you will do this, send me a link I want to see it!

Dom Sinkevic, cool that you showing your unsuccessful sketches. I think my todays still life with korn fit the descriptio)

[Samszym]

Yo, cool sb! studies are looking okay, just make sure you're actually learning something from them, not just copying photos because it's cool to do that.

[DomSinkevic]

Thanks for stopping by guys

Nikt- Thanks man!

Samszyn- I never thought of copying as a cool thing to do. If it was in the realm of cool (maybe for some that is and it's fine) and I would prefer to do really cool things, I would definitely would choose something cooler to do. :) I never did a study which would not benefit my development as an artist.
