big INDUSTRIAL VEHICLES

Here they come...

Hands! Is today yesterday?

Yep I got late with my studies, but I have the perfect excuse! I was moving ¬¬... Anyway hands are hard... But who doesn’t love them?

Yet another shocking announcement!

It seems a lot of us are falling behind on the studies here, sooo... we'll keep the Industrial vehicles topic one more day. That means, it topic will be changed some time this evening. Till then- it's industrial vehicles.

Arms, legs and buildings studies

Seems I'll be a topic behind this week. I plan on catching up though. But anyway... Here're the arms and legs studies that were supposed to be done in the weekend. They're all done from paintings by William Adolph Bouguereau. There's a lot to be learend from his works.




Next are some value buildings studies from when I was at home, sick. Also, there's a video of me painting the value studies. It has been sped up about six times. The actual time it took to make those was about an hour and ten-twenty minutes. I'm slow as hell, it would seem:)

Industrial vehicles

This week will be devoted to machinery and vehicles. So today and part of tomorrow we'll be doing studies of heavy industrial vehicles - tractors, bulldozers, those huge mining trucks, and so on...

Later on in the week we can also make studies of cars and trains, and trams. Maybe planes too. Sooo yeah, go for it.

Posting is a bit rare lately, but I hope things'll pick up. Have a nice evening all:)

Weekend arms and legs studies

Oookaaay... Pretend that I didn't miss a whole week of posting.
Now, that that is over with, on to the weekend studies! The topic is arms and legs. This means hands and feet included. So, make as many as you can, and don't forget about the value studies. Go have fun now!

P.S. Also, Mortleg and Calader are also admins now. Just so you know.

feet

Here are the feet I promised. They are 11 because 1-feet are hard; 2-there is less feet sketches in my anatomy books, 3-I like beer.
That said, i had a blast doing them, especially the last 3. The reference for them was Bammes's Der Nackte Mensch and it was very challenging and rewarding to try and apply what I learned from Bridgman's book about the dynamics of shapes to the solid and photorealistic Bammes reference. :)

hands - first batch

some post-lunch break hands. Plan to add 10 more and do as many feet in the evening.
I am still trying to find a quick technique for those studies, because the flat line thing is really time-consuming. I think i will do all the rest with the opacity-sensitive round brush, it allows me to block in the volumes before i define the shapes. Did the last 3 this way and imo they look best and have a better structure than the others before them.

P.S.
added 6 more sketches rounding them up to 20. Now to do as much feet.

Hands and feet studies

OK. I've been sick for the past few days. And still am, actually... So, sorry for the delay in posting. Anyway, on to the topic!
This week is anatomy week again and I was thinking of doing hands and feet studies again. At the very least not all of us managed to do them last time. Also, practise makes perfect. Soooo... on to the studies!
The plan is more or less to do a repetition of the first week of Sketchness. We make hands and feet studies today and tomorrow, arm studies tomorrow and the day after and finish it off with leg studies at Friday and Saturday morning. Then the weekend topic will be "more of the same". And, as always, value studies are encouraged. Too bad only Angelo makes those. But his are awesome, so no worries.
Have fun now:)

value face

Actually I had another face that was a bit better, but I lost when I croped the canvas ¬¬...

And this is the time lapse, loads of trial and errors (more errors than trials XD)... I would like to see the time lapse of u guys with u have time :) .

Residential buildings studies

As promised.
Most of the studies are of Asian buildings. Some are from Kowloon and some- from Gunkanjima Island. Get info on the places when you've got time.
Here are the drawings themselves.

I smell residential buildings

Here is just a couple of studies, just realized its so much easier to do those things using the pencil tool instead of the brush tool... Or maybe its the same ! Who knows?!

and here is the time lapse, I made me remind that I should have stoped doing this sketch before destroying its values :)

Value studies weekend

Well... Since some of us are lagging behind on the value studies, and those are important, we'll devote the rest of the weekend and the beginning of Monday to them. So, make value studies of whatever you feel like from this week's topics. Have fun:)

P.S. Gonna post my residential buildings studies tonight.

Residential buildings I guess

Here's my entry for the night. I'll try to catch up with the value studies and whatever I missed from the week on the weekend. What I just notice is that I ended doing more exteriors again, doing some more interiors in the future won't hurt I think.

Shops of various kinds and purposes

Here's my not so impressive attempt to catch up with the shops, done on my laptop with the tablet on my lap in WarPaint(Open Canvas 1.1) something I'm totally not used to. But enough complains, hope to come up with my value study at some point tomorrow. Or is it today already?

workshop studies

workshops... I feel like upgrading my garage for some reason :)

Residential buildings studies

Next topic is residential buildings studies. It'll be a two-day topic, so this means Friday included. I was thinking of doing studies on houses and the like today, and switching to big city residential buildings on Friday. So, you know- make as many as you can, and make 'em as diverse as you can. Have fun:)

Workshop studies

Weell... it would seem that none of us are having much luck with the workshop studies. Here's my very late contribution.

Workshop studies

New topic is workshop studies. The same as the stores- it can be any kind of workshop you like- pottery, blacksmith, tanner, etc.
Gonna try and finish my value study for the previous topic and make a new one for this one.

store studies

I've enjoyed this one :)
