Joseph's shiny new sketchbook

[JosephCow]

Hey spec, thanks for stopping by. You got me to update this thing, which for some reason I never think to do. I do a decent amount of studying, but then I guess I kind of think nothing is really worth sharing. Here's a few that I've done most recently. Right now I'm focusing on modeling form, to give my drawing the appearance of relief, but I also found that I really need to work on construction. My conception of form and ability to draw objects and rotate them using my imagination, is really really weak, and even though I'm on the fine art route, I really need to figure it out. 

That exercise sounds like a decent idea, although I'm sure whatever i insert into a scene is going to be really obviously worse quality than the stuff around it lol. But sure, might as well give it a shot. For me the hardest part about illustration is building a scene/environment that makes sense.


With the pencil drawing of a bust with the helmet, I also try to break parts of it down and rotate it a little. I struggle, but it's okay. At least I think the modeling has gotten a lot more advanced.



 It reminds me of a drawing i did in college that I thought was pretty hot, but actually is kind of not. It's mostly just a copy of shadow shapes, without regard for form. The shading has the right idea, but doesn't clearly describe any form.
