scribbles 'n bits

Hi! I never had the guts to make a sketchbook on CA.org when it was still around (or on the short-lived permanoobs), but I remember spending hours going through threads and admiring the work there. It was really motivating to look at the progress people would make over time.

I love to draw, but sometimes it's difficult to not feel discouraged and stuck. Art is hard, yo. I'm hoping that finally biting the bullet and making a sketchbook thread of my own will be a good motivation to keep at it and hold myself accountable. There is a lot I'm unhappy about with my art but moping about it isn't gonna help. Work through the suck, and all. 

This thread will be an eclectic amalgamation of stuff™, both traditional and digital, most of it unfinished (master) studies/sketchbook pages. I'm trying to be better about that. Anyway, here we go.




My first longer cast drawing. There's a lot of things that needed more work but time was up. I like to think I did learn a lot from doing this one. 





Second longer cast drawing project. Same as the first. Unfortunately I don't have a better picture of it. 





















work in progress from imagination, one of my donut steels.

Welcome, I remember well lurking on Concept Art for ages before I finally had the courage to make that first move — so congrats.

The representational studies you posted are quite good IMHO and the character concept shows a lot of promise.

I started posting here a few years ago and really feel like I've grown over time — so hope we'll see more from you

Hey nice cast drawings. Are you at an atelier? I went to one, too. I'd love to know how you like it so far if so.

But welcome to the forum. Art is hard, but I think it's easier with some kind of community.
