My Sketchbook - Finished Requests in first post :D

This is my sketchbook..... not that its full of sketches. I'm working on learning to use Photoshop along with some other digital painting apps over the summer... but I'm still a lot more comfortable with real media. So I'll post most of the stuff worth posting here :)
I'm thinking of setting up a blog, just to keep track of my progress. I dunno how many of you guys use Blogger or check blogs and such....... I sure don't, but I'll post a link once I've set it up.

Taking Requests (be imaginitive!)

Requests to come

• Moleynator - Mole of some sorts

Original OP
[SPOILER]
Right so... I finally got around to taking some shots of my more recent drawings.

Just thought I'd post a few, and see what people make of them. If you want to use them ASK ME, and I'll be happy to let you unleash your sig/avatar skillz upon them.

Also, If anyone has something they want me to draw, I might just draw it. If its crazy enough. So aim requests here!

and yes... this is what I do instead of learning at school

Bears are great :D

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...I/DSC00113.jpg
Just some random character designs

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...I/DSC00109.jpg
Anyone seen Evil Dead 2??

So if people are interested.. I'll post more. I'm gonna scan the rest in, cause some of these are slightly out of focus, cause of bad lighting >_>[/SPOILER]

you definitely have a really cool style. And that's what I did instead of learning at school. And now I'm a graphic designer and write comic books. So what's the moral of that story? lol.

Hehe... Yeah I really couldn't see myself working in an office. Making money out of what I love doing would be too sweet :D

I took a bunch of pics of 3D stuff I did from art class cause I'm preparing a portfolio... most of its from 3 years ago. So I'll post them up next time.

*mouth hangs open*
Those are superb, and because they only are sketches multiply that with two...
Watching these makes me feel bad about my drawing skills, i wish i had such a cool style.. and that i could draw using only lines like that...
You should upload more pics (like you promise in the title :p), you even have some already scanned and uploaded drawings in your profile, so get going and upload!
I'm also really excited to see that 3d work of yours.

This thread definitely deserves much more attention.
/Bump

Wow cheers marklin!

Ye I love drawing with just about anything, just quick sketches from the top of my head.
Most of this stuff is just done with a biro on my school notes.

You have no reason to feel bad about your art! Its really great, and I can definitely see it devoloping and improving. I've never really felt that I have a distinct style... but since you say so, it leads me to think that you probably wouldn't notice your own drawing style because its natural to yourself.

I can see a style coming along in your own drawings, and don't worry, it'll all come together with practice. I think drawing real things is 100 times better than copying other drawings, but you can learn a lot from comics and manga.

I will be adding some soon K?

Also I saw your Escher reference of the Drawing hands! Escher is a genius :D I based a 3D puppet on his Curl-Up creatures. You'll see when I upload it.

nice =P

How about some coloring?

cool pics. i really like the bears.

do you mind if i put stuff of mine up? even though it says your sketchbook. i like drawing comics but i'm not too good at drawing (especially compared to you or most people) but still like to though. so whatever i put up will be short comics.

Why don't you put them in a thread of your own =P.

Curl-up creatures!
I agree that escher is a genious, i had an assignment in school where i was supposed to draw something inspired from his work and in the beginning i wanted to make some optical illusions or tesselations such, but when i looked through all of his work i realized that that would be extremely complicated to do... And I still can't understand how he was able to. :eek:

BTW: i'm still waiting on the update :D

i can put em in a thread? where?

KKKKK

Thanks guys, now that more people are actually interested I feel obliged to post more. Tomorrow I'll have some stuff up. I'll check yur thread ir0nmaiden when its up!

lol i am having a thread now? okk =] actually i ahve one, it is just not very good XD

It has gone more than one day now =P.

Sorry you had to wait so long. Been busy polishing my new level :)

This is all stuff done in art class, over the years.

A puppet kinda based on Eschers Curl-Up. I originally wanted to make a moving model, but was told to make it original. From 3 years ago.

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...t/DSC00137.jpg
Wall Mural me and some friends did in school. Its based on the evolution of man........ to robot :D

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...t/DSC00139.jpg
This kinda illustrates a stage when technology develops faster than we can cope with. It takes over and we all become flying R0807z :idea:

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...t/DSC00142.jpg
Where it all began =_=

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...t/DSC00128.jpg
Did this last year.. just a small plaster carving.

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...t/DSC00129.jpg
Front of it.

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...t/DSC00132.jpg
This is the most recent out of these. From about 2 months ago! Its a puppet!

dood... i totally love the wall painting thing... :D

I mean... It's REALLY amazing!

Thanks yarbone! Me and my mates who helped me really hate looking at it now though........ its been there for 2 years and we did the men too pink! They look like LOBSTER PEOPLE!!!

O_o... I still like it :3

O.o
Those are really cool!
Though i must say that i got a little disappointed by the curl up creature, it doesn't seem to be able to curl itself together =P.
Are you in some kind of art oriented high school of college? That they let you work with so many different things is pretty cool.

Yeah I was disappointed that I couldn't just make a working model. But I had to come up with a more original design, so I just merged it with a rabbit. Its kinda cool, cause its made out of car body filler. Its really heavy :D

I'm in a really small school with barely any facilities... but our art teacher is so sound, and we have a great art room. I'll post more sketches next time though. I haven't done much 3D other than that.

I wish my school had an art teacher like that... The one we currently have is probably the worst teacher i've ever had :(.
To make it even worse we have a super ambitious music teacher which let us do whatever we want, but i hate music as a subject...

That second picture (1st post) kinda looks like Hinata XD
Btw, your drawings/paintings aren't bad at all man, keep it going and you'll be able to end up in any art-related job. :)

Thanks leon!

I think my two biggest manga influences would be Naruto and Akira, thing is, the creator of Naruto was hugely influenced by Akira. You can see huge similarities in their styles ^^

I also love the art of Blame! and Blade of the Immortal.

But apart from manga I'm trying to teach myself to draw with as much knowledge in human anatomy as I can. Once I know how to draw people inside out (no really) I'll be more capable of stylizing my drawings to fit whatever purpose. Its hard to tell where you wanna go with a art related career. I guess I'll go along with whatever opportunity I get.

I'll be updating this soon, not too busy next week :P

There's a lot of good stuff in here. From the original sketches, I like Ash and the standing bear. I'd take that sketch and get him on a balcony or behind a podium... that could be one politically polarizing charismatic bear. Of the newest posts I really like, well, I'll just call him 'Jester'... he is one uber kool puppet. You can definitely see growth in just what you presented here. Keep at it mate!

Love your stuff, Pitcard. Especially the first sketch.

Thanks a million, you're right about that bear, if Obama had a bear like that he could sort the world straight! You should seriously make a thread for your comic art. Its really impressive stuff, looks like you've got a fair bitta experience under your belt.

Haha I knew you'd notice that one! I love your Venetian mask avatars. I was over there a couple of months ago and bought 2 really cool ones, both with seriously long beaks.

I think its okay to bump this back up cause I'm finally finished school, and have the whole summer to get arty farty.

Right, so I'm going for a Model Making for Film course, which will involve some CG and 3D design etc... so I want to seriously get a head start over the summer. Photoshop CS4 is where I'm starting my digital journey, but if I have the time I might try my hand at some 3D modelling.

I'm on a nice little site called Polykarbon, so if I end up not updating this thread, I'll certainly be updating my sketchbook there :O

First attempt at a speedpaint in PS, probably 2 hours... if you call that speedy cause I was messing around with the brushes so much.

Don't ask what kinda hat he's wearing O_o


Just completely reffed from a photo, done in Open Canvas
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...ook/Smoker.jpg


This one was from a couple of months ago for an art exam. Just acrylic on paper.
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...k/P1050755.jpg
Moooo >:O

I'll take some requests, but they won't be full blown CG pieces. I'll just put all your requested doodles on a big page, but try to be imaginitive!

I really like your cigarette smoker - very powerful image and you've captured a moment - even if it was from a photo!!

Rhy

That cow thing is imaginative. Did you have inspiration?

Thank you Rhy, I guess that was down to the photo. It had a nice angle and some good colours so I just tried my best to capture it.

Moleynator: The exam question was to come up with an imaginitive composition based on anything from a selection of passages from short stories...
The one I chose described a foggy field, where the fog was so thick that they could see cows disembodied heads jutting out of it :D
and thus Cow-Cloud was birthed

Ooooh. Nice interpretation.

I really wish I was good at art...

Some stuff I've been doing in the last 2 weeks. Probably shoulda kept my sketchbook here instead of briefly migrating to MNRC but now I'm keeping this on up to date!

Techno Viking
Its a design for the main villain in the Creation Central levelpack... that you guys probably can't remember/don't know about :/
http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/731...ngfullreso.jpg

Karin Dreijer
Lead singer of The Knife. This is just a photo reffed one... got a bit frustrated and wasn't bothered cleaning it up...
http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/6...jerresized.jpg

Ray Stanz
Dan Aykroyd's character from Ghostbusters, was requested by Mod5.0 aka littlebigsackboy (ghostbuster fiend)
http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/7371/raystanz.jpg

Here's some old doodles from '08. They were all over my school notes, so I photo'd them in and cleaned them up. Maybe I'll try dig up some more, its really nostalgic looking back on these since some were the cause of moments of hilarity...
http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/2...warwings08.jpg


These two are some of the ideas and sketches I came up with for a physics project. My aim was to explain the fundamentals of Kung Fu through physics!
The old man (Grandmaster Lee) and the turtle (Master Yang) are there to guide you through the project, giving you the definitions and formula :D
http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/931...fuphysics1.jpg

Some vector forces, centre of gravity, couples, turning forces, you name it ^^
http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/405...fuphysics2.jpg

Two character requests from another forum.

Zooey, an ax-wielding, dress wearing adolescent
http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3567/zooey.jpg
Jack, a mysterious man clad in cow-wear O_o
http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/8540/jackrux.jpg

These were really fun, so I'm still looking forward to getting some requests from you guys! The only request I've got so far was the Ray Stanz one from Mod, so keep 'em coming. I'll put all the requests in the OP!

Nice sketches you got there Pit. I saw some of your stuff on brokenpicturetelephone a few days ago. Just saw your name when I was browsing. :)

Could you possibly draw a cartoon zombie monkey. Or any kind of cartoon mole. YES! A MOLE! Zombie mole, robot mole, wizard mole, bikini mole... the list is endless. Choose at will. :D Do whatever you wish, interpret however you want.

You keeping the requests to people?

If not can ya have a go at Hamilton's 08 Formula 1 car?

and if only people, how about Fernando Alonso or Lewis Hamilton?

..well you DID ask for requests lol

The Karin Dreijer and Ray Stanz (Slimed!) ones are amazing.

I do a lot of pencil stuff but never could get the hang of putting colours together like this.

Ehhh... I was kinda expecting more imaginative requests (for example man with toaster for mouth)... not just real things. I don't wanna add more photo reffs to the ones I've already done, cause I usually end up spending waaay too much time on them. Like around 4 or 5 hours. But I might try the Formula 1 car. It'll try make it a quicky too.

OMG! @_@

That's awesome!

The mouse gets punched in the stomach!

and.... didn't you do the zombies and the car at iscribble? I mean that was you right?

You're awesome...

and stuff.

Show us more!

I think i'm gonna skip showing my stuff... it totally sucks compared to your work >_<

Ahh come one now Yarbone. Remember I drew that crappy car. And then you made it all l33t and super realistic. I was impressed seriously :D

If anyone wants to use anything I've drawn for a sig or whatever, or request something to put in a sig go ahead... but I'm not making any sigs for people :P

i want to see a sackboy with a mini-gun.

Seriously though. It could look really awesome. I've been meaning to draw this for ages, but i'm like really really lazy. xD

Been busy in the last few days, but managed to get one request done. I'm working on the minigun sackboy too... but I think I'll do some pencil/pen doodles of that and the zombie monkey/mole rather than full blown CG >_>

Here's Hamilton's 08 Formula 1 Car or at least I think it is, requested by IronmaidenFan

http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/3976/formula1.jpg
Heh, I just got the new Artrage (a seriously realistic painting app, has so many nice tools such as crayons/paint tubes/palette knives/stencils and lots of different types of paper... they've though of everything. So I had a shot at referencing a formula 1 car with some oil paints :D
Took just over an hour.
(I'll put all the finished requests up in the OP)

This is still a WIP... just downloaded a bunch of photoshop brushes and tried them out :D
http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/8213/nohgeishawip.jpg

Holy crap Pitcard, the Hamiton one is amazing! i really wish i could do that :'(

edit: i think i have artrage, but i would still have no idea where to start to draw a car like that :'( i got it free with my wacom tablet and imac from the apple store though :)
