More pencils to bore people to death. Sorry, but I have to get my basics down to a decent level :)

Looking forward to the new `Thief´ game...

Very fun sketchbook, mate! Looking forward to seeing more! Do you use some sort of pencil brush? some of your digital lines look very much like graphite! Must be a very good brush, not a lot i've found can pull it off XD

[Elderscroller]

@Wingal: Thanks! :) I use a pencil brush for digital lines. It´s a rather good brush and I enjoy it a lot. You can download the brush here, if you want to give it a shot:

I'm really looking forward to see Thief too, I've read all about it :3 sounds like fun.

Also,good work with portraits, you are getting better at this, keep up with it and have fun :D

[Elderscroller]

@Toxicpanda: Thanks very much!

Something a bit more colorful for a change now. Somewhat more elaborate "sketch" of a goblin adventurer.

@silverkeeper: Thanks very much :)

Some more sketches. Still learning figure drawing, but as I feel more and more comfortable drawing the human figure (I know, I´m not perfect :) ), I will now shift more and more to a "practical application" trying to emphasize designs rather than drawing figures just for the sake of drawing figures...

In my effort to better my basic drawing skills and maybe also do something for my design skills, I decided to do more "Master" studies of people who really know how to handle a pencil. I did some studies of Alexandr Pascenkos traditional drawings as I really love the way he draws. For those who don´t know him, here is a link to his deviantart page:

I was not going for a complete copy, I tried to study how he lays down his lines, his line weight and at least a bit how he renders and designs his characters:








I also started to do some John Howe studies of his pencil work as he is most inspiring. This is from item concepts from The Hobbit:




I´m planning to do more of these studies as I found them very helpful.

I tried to apply what I have learned a day later in a figure from mind to see if anything stuck. Turned out ok, but I know, I can do better:

nice drawings dude!:D, i like that gladiators like characters!

[Elderscroller]

@Lex_Paul. Thanks! But bear in mind, the male gladiator is, as mentioned, not my design, only a study.

Here´s some sniper-typish character of some dune-ish setting:
