Finishing up corrections to the house and character I recently added, but in the meantime here are some scifi buildings I sketched out. I've only had time for a first pass, so I'm missing a lot of detail. I tried to get the major forms in there though.

Hand studies in between character rendering practice. Buildings are still in progress as well. Taking the feedback I got from here and from friends and redoing.

Character Study

FITZFACTOR 2017-04-11 16:09:44 UTC #15

More studying. Should be finishing up some characters that I can post by tomorrow. Pushing to have them done by then Still working on the buildings but it's a bear of a project ^^

Some more sketches from today. Not very happy with these and would consider them a failure. Was trying to find a way to optimize rendering process, but they still took too long for not a great result. Oh well, I'll have to analyze what I can out of it and try better next time.

I was going for a short, exotic, and mysterious merchant character

just some hands

suppp dudes. Still Working on hands, my nemesis.

Portrait study. I did the study first, then tried from memory, then took notes and corrected based on those notes. Learned a lot and won't make the same mistakes hopefully. Really embarrassing to do but everyone says it's good to fail as long as you learn from it soooooo

hey dudes. Still studying people. Trying to do portrait studies and then immediately turning off reference and trying to recreate the image/close to the image (like if I rotate the head a bit or change face a bit it's alright as long as I do good proportions and try to apply the lighting correctly). Then I fix whatever I screwed up and try to find out why I screwed up so much -_-

I did some helmet studies and then a couple sketches from imagination based on my studies to start to try and understand/ remmeber what I was doing. Taking notes while sketching to keep my mind engaged.

Hey guys, it's been a while. Sorry about that. Still studying and practicing many things, but lots were done in my sketchbook and I haven't had the chance to scan.

reference, memory, find mistakes

imagination, lacking character but not hideous so that's a start I guess?

study from life, then I imagine what would happen if I rotated the light source, then I correct my imagination

trying to sketch one character a day after my studies for the month of may

FITZFACTOR 2017-05-02 22:04:50 UTC #24

I'm sick so I drew him wiping his nose like I've been doin all day

FITZFACTOR 2017-05-03 17:50:16 UTC #25

Need to find a way to push shapes and ideas more. Feel like I'm not pushing the design enough.

FITZFACTOR 2017-05-05 19:03:01 UTC #26

Another character sketch

FITZFACTOR 2017-05-09 06:51:27 UTC #27

Trying to get a rhythm for rendering. I'll admit that line comes much more easily for me.

FITZFACTOR 2017-05-11 05:19:53 UTC #28

Bandit Brothers sketch. Thinking about pushing it forward but still working out design. Not sure if I'll do a nice line drawing or a full rendering, but I'm leaning more towards rendering simply because it's what I'm practicing right now.

Wow, I really like what you have here!! Keep up the excellent work!

FITZFACTOR 2017-06-26 03:46:26 UTC #30
