Sketchbook: bredmonster

bredmonster

Hey I'm bredmonster and this will thread will hopefully be my journey to good/greatness over the coming years. I've only been seriously trying to learn drawing/painting since the beginning of this month and I'm enrolled in a few art courses at my local community college. I love fantasy and magic so that will most likely be a reoccurring theme in my pieces :poly124:

For now my goal is to be better than I was last month, every month. I'm not sure what sector of art I want to be in, but I'm leaning heavily towards video games at the moment.

Any kind of feedback is appreciated and thanks for stopping by.

Some sketches while I get used to Krita:










And a few studies of B/W photos:


This one I only had ~30 min to do

And here I spent about 45 min

bredmonster

45 min study. would have liked to do more but I have actual homework that needs to get done :X

bredmonster

Decided to commit at least an hour a day for digital work. I have some traditional stuff I need to photograph sometime this weekend that I'll post probably on Sunday.

Here's a sketch I did for today:

A Highstorm Approaches

Got a new tablet and did 3 hours to make up for not posting the last 2 days

bredmonster

just under an hour but I did a lot of traditional work today so there wasn't much left in the tank

The road is long with many a winding turn

Playing around with Sculptris. It's really fun, but it crashes way too often.

bredmonster

Spent an embarrassing amount of time on this:



My goal is to finish up the nose area and then bring it into Blender to sculpt on it.

bredmonster

Didn't have that much time for anything digital today. Here's a little bit more work on the head:

Quick sketches from Fun With A Pencil:



I was having trouble getting my topology right so I shelved the Asaro head for today and instead did a model based off a picture of a wireframe face. Making up for not posting the past few days with the amount of work I did on this one:

bredmonster

The topology is mostly fixed, nose and lips needs some work and then finally the dreaded ears.

keep going with your studies and dont get enbarassed with the time you spend on them, when you are learning things are really slow. You are still getting used to a lot of new techniques and tools, that is normal

Speed comes with time, and I am glad to see that your attempts on 3d modeling are on a more traditional approach, working with polygons and vertices. I believe is the best one to start, because I introduces the thinking with polygons right on the start

cheers!

Tvidotto

one suggestion on the 3d head. Look for some anatomy charts and check all the proportions. If you are going for a human shape of course

on your last 3d, the forehead seams too small and the eyes too far apart.

bredmonster

Thanks for the crits TVIDOTTO. You are certainly right on those points.

I had a lot of homework this past week so I haven't been able to work on it but I'm looking forward to fixing it this weekend.

bredmonster

These are roughly in order... there's a lot more but I just picked the more finished ones from the last 2 months of my drawing, painting and sculpture classes. I have a few sculptures I will try to remember to take pics of on Monday.
