Sketchbook: Frostraver

frostraver

Hello everyone!
I'm going to submit most of my, now kinda crappy, drawings and stuff I need to do for school and personal work. I hope you guys like it and I hope someone comments for helping me out with my technique now and then.

This is a scan from my first shading lesson. Did a larger assignment after this but shouldn't post it because I know it sucks.

Don't put yourself down! There is no greater enemy to an artist then a lack of confidence! Have faith in your abilities, even if you aren't incredible at this point you will get there eventually. Post that project and any doodle you have, this is a sketchbook! have fun with your art cause you will learn and you will get better. I'm looking forward to some cool art stuff from you : )

Thanks for the motivating talk I'll be uploading some more in a couple of minutes so I hope you like them! (I do this using TinyPic... Is this good?)

My first try at drawing faces and seperate noses and eyes. Maybe I should do that some more

2 random things I've drawn while waiting for the train to arrive. It's a drawing using photo reference.

First drawing in perspective using a modelsheet we got from our teacher.

Some accessories for a school assignment. Design a submarine with a backstory.

The submarine should have somehting in its design that resembles a camera.
Here's some studies. It's a Towerflash 127

A thumbnail for maybe a new spaceship or something?

its a good start man, you really posted a cubic crap ton of stuff here : ) there's some things here in there with perspective but thats stuff that will get better with practice

Dont forget to do a lot of studies!
They really help you understand how things work in space as well as lighting, shading etc

Unfortunately I never did drawing studies my whole life till recent years and let me tell you, it really makes things better!

Good start. Always great to see people doing studies.

Focus on cleanly drawing lines to define your forms. Everything looks pretty muddle and scribbled and simplified here. Maybe check these videos out: http://www.ctrlpaint.com/home/category/unplugged

Also, draw approximately 10 million times as many hours a day as you are right now.

Good luck!

Thanks guys for the help and everything You guys really inspire me to keep practicing! Here's some more. It's the modelsheet for my submarine (probably going to do that again) and an early test from my submarine in perspective.

About the 15th spoon I've drawn for one of the exercices from CtrlPaint.com. Looks crappy...

Currently working on an assignment. This is a very WIP shading of the side of my submarine.
