Sketchbook: Levi Gilbert

Hey everyone,
Just starting a sketchbook thread. I'm going to mostly be working on painting and concept stuff as well as my progress with learning ZBrush.

Critiques are welcome. Thanks for looking!

Speed sculpting heads in ZBrush:



and some painting:

I like the way you did the trees in this last painting. The ones on the right really have a nice sense of volume.

Also - don't do speedsculpts - do long, 5-10 hour sculpts where you focus and get reference and correct and fix it till it looks good. Speedsculpting and speedpainting is something professionals who've already been doing this for years and years do. Speedpainting/sculpting is about getting the idea out, and possibly increasing your speed a little.

You and me, we need to take our time, as long as we need to make something look good, that's how you learn and improve. Some years down the line, when you're working for a studio or whatever, then you can start worrying about speed.

Good luck!

selvesteHE: Thanks for the feedback! I agree and definitely plan to do a variety of timed studies. I think it's smart practice to do both quick sketches and longer studies.

A pirate logo I did for a friends bar league team, a start of a ship, and a value sketch of some sort of base of operations:
