Your anatomy/form studies are great :D keep going man
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - Nick Waldinger - 08-02-2016
Your most recent male profile shots are killer man, keep it up!
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - DQ_Nick - 08-05-2016
Thanks for the support Daniel and Nick!
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - DQ_Nick - 08-05-2016
Sketches and studies from the past couple of days
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - walent - 08-05-2016
hey man, nice stuff in here, nice sense of form and beautiful linework
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - Piotr Jasielski - 08-06-2016
Great stuff Nick! I love the last character suit design. The problem is the version before the final render looks better - awesome design and linework - and the final render lost the appeal. I think you should study how metal reflects light in t=different conditions and with different metallic texture.
Anyway keep this up, you're doing great!
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - Artloader - 08-08-2016
Great studies DQ! Your figures are looking pretty awesome now.
That space pilot came out really nicely, I think I prefer the realistic render version (render round 5) because of the rendering as opposed to the flat version.
Keep going DQ!
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - DQ_Nick - 08-14-2016
I appreciate the feedback and comments Walent, Piotr, and Artloader. Interesting contrast of opinions on which version of that character is more appealing. I'm favoring the lineart version myself, it has more attitude and life.

Getting back to the fundamentals; form and construction. Never hurts to put some time into getting better at the basics.
More practice with head construction
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - pableaux - 08-14-2016
Your methodical studying is impressive. Can I be scared of you?
Seriously, I gotta steal some of that.
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - Zipfelzeus - 08-14-2016
Thooooseee studies man! Look at them. LOOK. Hahaha really impressive work!
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - DQ_Nick - 08-28-2016
Ha ha, thanks for stopping by pableaux and Zipfelzeus. I know I'm a little crazy but hey, whatever it takes to get better right?
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - DQ_Nick - 08-28-2016
Sketches and studies from the past week, still focused on anatomy and form construction.
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - Nick Waldinger - 08-28-2016
Those head studies are siiiiick, awesome work! Where did you learn to construct the head like that?
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - Artloader - 08-28-2016
Awesome studying dude - you're putting in the mileage and you will reap the rewards!
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - The Lama - 08-28-2016
Loooove your construction drawings. They're really solid, keep it up dude
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - DK - 08-28-2016
Good work, Nick. I really do like the 2nd iteration of the space pilot most. It's simple but reads well. It's nice to see you push a piece this far.

Nick, the current resources I'm using for head construction are Michael Hampton's Figure Invention and Design and Drawing the Head and Hands by Andrew Loomis. Google them, you can download the PDFs for free
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - DQ_Nick - 09-06-2016
@Artloader, The Lama, and Dennis
Thank you for the kind words guys! Keep fighting the good fight yourselves and we'll all become masters
RE: Nicky D's Sketchworld - DQ_Nick - 09-06-2016
The last of heavy figure studies for a while. Shifting over into more creative work finally! The two monster guys started as imagination sketches and were rendered using reference. Tons of fun and a good way to learn values.
I need more practice painting monster hands though.
