sketching!!!

More Charicatures and a self portrait.

Trying out some more charicatures. It's a lot of fun!

Quick one of Tarantino

Jessica Alba

Michael Jackson

Self portrait I did in pastels. The shapes isn't all as they should be, but I'm starting to get an idea of how to do pastels which is fun :)

Charicatures

Tried to work on some charicatures today, cause I think it might help me with character design. I was inspired from Mattesi's Force: Character design from Life Drawing. Even though some of them didn't have a very good outcome, it was alot of fun :)

The Joker

King Leonidas

George W. Bush

Marlon Brando

Woody Allen. By accident some water with ink in dripped on the drawing. I liked the effect and tried to use it. I didn't quite make it work, but will try it again in a different setting. Doesn't look much like him either.

Jack Nicholson

Lol here we go my first effort for this blog, (taken long enough) Loving everyone's work on here as well, he he eric, loving you as a deer!! You should wear it to uni next year. In the mean time my one was inspired by watching pinocchio last night. Figured there cant be that much scary about being turned into a donkey can there?

All the best

Here's a quick half hour study I did in Winchester cathedral.

This is some experimenting I have been doing in photoshop.

Hey guys,

Hope you're all having a great summer! im gonna be posting up some SPs really soon :p but i was just wondering, I wanted to study anatomy this summer, and I just saw Michal's awesome sketches :) i was going to buy Bridgman's Constructive Anatomy, do you guys have any suggestions for anatomy books?

Thanks, Parina.

It's me again :)

Here are my doodles

Concept for SP super vilain:

SP caricature:
SP as a crazy vampire. I thought it would be good for a previous task :)
And some random characters:

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it guys and please post your doodles :)

Ps. Thanks Magnus for the first move!

Hey you guys!

Here are some of my anatomy studies and doodles. Me and Erik decided to do some studies of torso so most of my studies concern this part

Studies from Bridgman:

And here I was combining Bridgman with Louise Gordon:

here I'm trying out my knowledge:

And some full figure studies:

Some sketches

Michael has been pushing us to post something, anything on the blog, so I thought I'd add some of my sketches. 

I've been working on rendering. Finding it really dificult. Really good tutorials from Scott Reobertson though. 

Also I'm haveing a hard time with heads so I was following my dad around in a store trying to draw him. Not great, but ok sketch.

These ones I think I did in around a minutte, pretty happy with them considering the time.

Hate the hair!

Working on hands. God there is a lot I'm struggeling with :P

My sister while driving. Sorry about the bad quality on the photo.

OK, so that's some of mine, Michael I want to see you stuff (and the rest of you) ;)

Self Portrait Challenge #6: Anthropomorphisation

Sorry for not posting a new topic yesterday, didn't have internet.. but then again noone took the opportunity to post some late submissions any way >_<

Took Francis suggestion for the topic, hopefully it will be more popular with the rest of you than the once I picked :D Bring forth the entries!

Topic: Anthropomorphisation

the ultimate shield.

Superpower was going to be the ultimate shield, but I didn't spend enough time getting the idea across and focused more on the portrait.. im not sure if it worked tbh.. too tired to think properly.. Ill look tomorrow :P

Oh yea, guys stop slacking this isn't fine art! you don't have to post fully rendered pieces. Post your sketches over summer! Have you been travelling? what did you draw there? Shaaare! I'll get some more stuff going soon as I got my scanner finally :)

Why pick sides when the true conflict is within...?

Saw the new theme tonight and wanted to take part before I left for Ireland tomorrow.
It's late so I kinda had to speed through this sketch, but the idea's there. Shame I couldn't convey more narrative/perspective/background. Drawing hands from memory by raising them up and down = oh dear... :]. Needs more flames/birds referencing...

Ah well... least it's a double spread - sketchbook takes a critical hit!

Have a good week everyone!

How about 'Anthropomorphisation' as a theme for next week Erik? 'Weird and Geeky''s all good :)

Self Portrait Challenge #5: Super Powers

If you were in a world were people had superpowers, which would you have? Would you use them for good and be a hero, or evil and be a villain. Try convey in the design what your intentions are, and have fun!

Oh yea, send me suggestions for topics or I'll keep putting my weird geeky once up :D

This one should end on the 11th, and I'll post up the next one then.

I wish I had the time to get this done on time, but I have been moving houses and finally today at 9pm I got settled.. and we still don't have internet in the new house or a mirror I can place near my computer. So this one is entirely from my head.. so likeness is none existant.. supercheap motionblur on the rest of the image.. but wrah. I do need help coming up with the next challenge :o feedback, did people like this topic? want something similiar?
