Johnscj's Sketchbook

[Johnscj]

I guess I should try this out! .. one more time!

Michael Hampton:












Imagination!

[Tygerson]

Great practice! I like how you add the circles to feel the curve of the forms.

[Johnscj]

Alright, only this for today!

[smrr]

Hey John, these Hampton studies look great! Is he the only anatomy master you've studied from? Looks like you're learning loads!

Keep it up man! :D

[Izzual]

Great to learn from Hampton ! You will learn tons with him ! :D

If you'd like to combine him with others I'd suggest you to study Bridgman and Loomis too :)

Keep it up !

[Johnscj]

@smrrfette: I studied some Loomis a while ago but didn't stick to it.
@Izzual : I am definetly going to do that. When i finish fully studying Michael Hampton, i will move to Loomis and Bridgman

zzzzz
Didn't do much today.. Internet hooked me up
More Hampton studies! I won't stop until I finish the whole book! gogo
Oh.. and i learned I can't draw boxes.. damn :(









Toucan study, a little bit modified on the beak.

[Johnscj]

More Hampton and some Volcano!
edit: i changed the size of the images, it was too big :P

[Vandall]

Studies are looking great and going well mate, good work on the environment just be careful to paint what you see and not in symbols. Only example of that I can see is the angle of the houses roof is flat where in the photo its angled, hope Ive helped mate.

[Johnscj]

Couldn't sleep, so I thumbnailed an idea i had in mind!




@Vandall: thanks for the point out man, I noted that on my "don't do" list. :)

[Johnscj]

More Hampton and a study I did for the speedpaint group on DA.

[Johnscj]

Hmm...

[Johnscj]

Soo.. yeah.. i got bored of Hampton. I will go back to it though. :D










That last one I'm thinking of doing a full piece of it, I want to know how far I can go so I can continue to improve! Crits and stuff are appreciated!

[Johnscj]

Color is so hard :(
this guys back was a pain in the eye

Damn, sketching a bit was really refreshing!
I NEED MORE ART!

[Johnscj]

zzz..
Had lots of things to do this week.. I need to step up my game
So, I want to get better at drawing portraits and stuff

<- From imagination


Line and value studies

some thumbnails

Study for Teen Challenge on conceptart.org, but didn't manage the time to get into it :(

master studies

speedpainting from one of my previous sketches

[Johnscj]

From yesterday and today. Both took me the whole afternoon :O

[Johnscj]

Argg, i'm really frustrated because of those two landscapes, i can't get the values nor the atmosphere on the painting... I'm just going to spend some hours looking and studying some Feng Zhu stuff in grayscale tomorrow.
If any of you have any suggestions to save me, I'd appreciate it a alot
The creature thingy was inspired by one his videos.

[Matija Vuk]

good figure studies, in some pieces your lineart is very very nice :)

[Johnscj]

Heeeey, I got a schedule down and i'll to do everything it says for atleast a week, lets get started! --- :D
So this is from the a few days ago that i just felt like trying out some CA challenges, im not really sure if I'll finish anything.







I did not like the composition, or the values i got there, so i re-did it.


Stuff from today , and i managed to delete a skull study that i had done previous to the one below..





Self-Portrait!

[Johnscj]

I should quit this approach to gesture drawing.. It's not going well.. i loved doing these 90sec animals! so much fun
Still Life, study of beaaar and some thumbnails to apply a little bit of what i learned from the study and to what i think (hope) i will take on to a finished piece.. And i loved doing these 90sec animals! so much fun
