Show your sketching!

Re: Show your sketching!

The flow in your drawings is very dynamic. I really like it.

Looks like silhouetting and then painting on top of it with the background color.
The shapes are all well put so it doesn't really matter what he does with it after he put down the shapes, since the big picture and flow is already on paper (monitor in this case) which will always look good.

I'd like to see you finish a drawing completely though. I don't think I've seen one fully rendered drawing from you yet. :P


Edit: Mind telling me what brush you use? or what settings you use if it's a custom brush?
I would like to try this brush myself as well.

The brush set is somewhere in these journals http://leventep.deviantart.com/journal/
He makes these brush and literally dances with them.

The way I draw these are closer to lineart than silhouette. They are on a separate layer so I erase the parts I don't like instead of paint over it. Though the only reason for that is If I wanted to change aspect or put in color it would be much easier with 2 separate layer work flow. Eraser I almost always use round brush. It creates a slight different texture so to help make it a little less boring. It also helps creating smoother textures say the smooth surface of muscles, shadow gradient of the hair ...etc.

I can't really say I've made anything fully rendered with this style but if anything.

These are made with the same brush I did the sketch with. The way I started these are somewhat similar, just in color.

Edit: The brush I use is the block brush, the one with 197px default or something. Setting I usually just use the default since the resolution he uses is pretty similar to mine.
I'd say the default of that brush works best when painting in canvas anywhere from 1k to 2k per side on a square canvas. If you want to work on different sizes you might want to scale the texture setting, smoothness, jitter, min diameter. Sometimes I just dim or remove the texture setting since really it doesn't play too much of a roll in contribution to your overall piece. I don't recommend using that brush as eraser though.

The middle thing is kind of a spin off on spenner's style, just blocked some stuff in and picked out shapes.

Re: Show your sketching!

I love the textures in the ones you posted up there-- I agree some could be taken a step further, but the style in which they're presented is good as it is. There's high realism with abstraction to it, and I think that's great. You can make some highly surreal yet realistic concept art with that up your sleeve, that would be very handy.

Great stuff like always 8)

I'm going to work with a developing style-- something that's not so completely abstractly shaped, I'm going to try shaping things more organically-- inspired by creatures and plantlife in Metroid Prime and deep underwater creatures. So far so good!

Also I dig that abstract doodle in the centre obviously

Re: Show your sketching!

I don't know if I should be posting here lmao the standard is so... high. I can't draw human bodies further than stick figures, so I whipped up a Lamborghini à la Mythix. Except in 2d.
This took far longer than it should have, and I haven't even added the finer details+shading and colouring. :/

edit: I finished most of it...

Re: Show your sketching!

Sketching is sketching, it's all good

And don't feel bad, I can't draw humans well at all either maybe parts of them, but not connected parts.

Re: Show your sketching!

sick ride. did you use a reference picture?

[supermousie]

Re: Show your sketching!

Thanks. I have to use a reference picture to give me an idea of the perspective and the rough shape. Things end up looking weird and out of proportion if I don't have a reference, unfortunately. :/

Re: Show your sketching!

First thing that came to my mind with that car sketch was Twisted Metal
(I was thinking of Club Kid smilies )

[supermousie]

Re: Show your sketching!

Maybe the smilies reminded you of Sweet Tooth.

Re: Show your sketching!

I don't think there's ever been a Lambourghini in Twisted Metal.

Re: Show your sketching!

I think there's been a Diablo/Countach... but from memory, it was red.

edit: It's called Crimson Fury.
