Doolio's doodles

[Doolio]

Oh man, it's super cool to see an intellectual attempt to match someone else's style, really interested to see how your work develops! Hav4e you considered getting a model sheet from a show you like and copying the drawings in it of one character, then trying to draw him or her from your imagination? Seems like that would be the best simulation for how the animators pick up the style they have to work in.

I think it's going to be key to do a ton of work from imagination, your work from observation is looking very accurate but the stuff from your head just isn't matching the level of control you have when you're looking at something.
Good luck! Can't wait to see more :D

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you stopped by:)

Yup, drawing from imagination is something I have done VERY rarely until this sketchbook and it shows:) That's why I've started with Hampton and after that will probably go for some anatomy or maybe some other fundamental subject (perspective?).
I plan on gradually working on fundamentals and practice application from imagination and eventually incorporate more complex stuff into attempts at imaginative drawing (backgrounds, perspective, more people in the composition etc). Now at the beginning I am pretty much doing "study Hampton - apply Hampton" but yeah, I'll venture into other fundamental stuff soon enough.

Analyzing and applying info from a model sheet does sound like a good idea. Generally, incorporating and actually applying info to drawing from imagination or memory is something I really need to develop.

Wow, so many studies and those notes are really nice too.
Keep it up!

Thank you for commenting:)

The Hampton notes are actually from the book itself, I find it easier to remember and incorporate stuff if I go through the motions, even with reading stuff:)
