Thanks man, hopefully all the studying and practice pays off at some point! RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - OtherMuzz - 06-15-2016 I think you are rushing those hand studies a bit too much to get the most out of them. Portrait is nice, but a bit lopsided.

Portrait is nice, but a bit lopsided. Possibly, they're only one minute each so the draftsmanship isn't great. It might be a good idea to balance the quick gesture hands with some slower, more accurate drawings.

Also Butts. RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - John - 06-20-2016 Nick! That's one delicious value practice! Love the texture, they are well placed!

You're damn right John RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - DQ_Nick - 06-23-2016 My current strategy is to take one subject at a time (in this case the hand), and to focus intensely on it through a high volume of repetitive training for a period of weeks. I'm trying to tackle it from every angle, using a variety of references and methods to force the shapes into my brain. So far so good! Quickposes 90 seconds ![]() Photo studies ![]() Imagine FX Anatomy Issue ![]() ![]() Combination of memory and imagination ![]() RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - DQ_Nick - 06-23-2016 I meant memory and life (looking at my own hand) in the last post RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - DQ_Nick - 06-25-2016 Quickposes 2 minute gestures with details added after ![]() Life studies and imagination ![]() Memory Studies from Loomis. The drawings in black are from reference, blue from imagination, red are the follow-up correction drawings. An effective but very time-consuming way to memorize shapes and proportions. It's definitely worth it though, I need to do more of these. ![]() RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - DQ_Nick - 06-29-2016 A bunch of memory studies from Loomis and some hands with values ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - DQ_Nick - 07-01-2016 Notes on Hampton's construction process and some life studies ![]() ![]() ![]() RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - Piotr Jasielski - 07-04-2016 Great studies, you have a powerful and effective approach to attaining the understanding. Really good job on the faces and hands. Your rendering will need a bit more work - values/lighting and materials. Employing the notan method should help you make a leap in that aspect. RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - neopatogen - 07-05-2016 Awesome studies and sketches! What resources did you use to study casting shadows?

Thank you for the feedback Piotr, I agree that my rendering could be considerably better. I think more time studying form and construction would help with that, but sure I'm curious to see what I can learn from the notan method |
