Working on a character, trying to go for punk and dark, but not exactly evil.

Cleaning it up, adding details. Still might change a lot.
A little off topic, but is it just me or does everyone love to draw trees on floating chunks of land? I've always loved to do it and I often see others doing the same thing. It just reassures me of my sanity. ;p
I've been a fan of drawing floating cities, but I liked the idea of a massive tree shading a town, maybe its inspired by the Jetsons? Cities in the sky seem to be a popular idea.
focused on filling a bounding box, stylized proportions, and the silhouette
Going to clean up the lines in the morning
I think I'll model him once I finish.
Dont just read the book, do sketches as you read it and try and lock that info into your brain.
What book is it btw?
Most of my anatomy knowledge aint from art school its from self study.
The lifedrawing sessions i go to arent associated with any college btw, they are just something you turn up for and draw. Try seeing if you can find any like that in your area.
Sorry about that.
Looks like a good book and some other guys round the net seem to think its good. I was just checking as there is some dodgy stuff out there.
2nd day of community college. Doodles taken off lined paper/notes.
Trying to get ideas for sculpture
Comp test, using foreground, middle ground, background, contrast, silhouettes etc...
figuring out what I want to do for sculpture (self portrait), I think I have pretty much the basic idea of it down.
I'm going to create a tape man of myself, extend out the arms and legs so someone can walk under it, use a inner metal frame to support it. The torso I want to fill with old computer part, to make it look like its a working rig. I'm going to create a aluminum cast of my face to put on top of the tape man face. Not too sure about the other details,
Something quick in spore, exported to xsi, and set up render, in 15 minutes.
No reference sketch, it was on paper with pen so I know so stuff is off, but overall I think I did pretty good.
Just a random idea I had today
Turtle-Tank
Did a paint over to help a guy. (original pic in the top left)
Ex: the monster painting redone, his eyes, nose, and teeth are missing alot of darker, hard shaddows. most shadding that is there is blured, and softened, so it loses alot of its contrast, depth and detail.
For your portrait, a few pointers: it seems you've outlined all of the face details (lips, eyes, eye brows) with the same line weight. The lines in skin of the face as well have the same wieght as the lines around the eyes.
It's always harder to blend and render hard outlines like this because realistically they dont exsist, so its hard to make a realistic render from them.
It might be a good idea to do alot of individual drawing of just eyes, just noses, and lips (with reference!) to improve.
I used to take googled images of faces and draw overthem in photoshop, creating reference lines, and details etc. and replicate the person to get better. This can be done for full figures too (theres alot of porn out there for ref :P ) This was the fastest and most effective way I found to improve my drawing skills.
keep drawing, and working to improve! all it takes it practice, practice, practice!

I never painted in photoshop from just looking at a pic, I think it turned out well, a hard pose to draw.
Guess the movie
The other one is fat mike from Nofx/Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, I guess I should go into more detail on the face, there's a link in the first post.
in previous post you have png file ~7mbs, better to compress it.
+1 lazy hour
removed
started out as a similar sketch, then I liquefied the hell out of it till it looked right, then went over it again.
Fixing it up some more.
Drawing class (using conte)
Better than the last one, I like the gestural qualities of it.
