Stealcase’s Sketch Blog [regular updates]

EDIT 17 November
Newest image I'm proud of

First sketch/image for inktober. Started out with the premise of making sea creatures with semblances to Star Wars space ships. Can sort of see the resemblance on some of them.
Will try to update several times a week, since i draw a decent amount.

4th day of Inktober, second drawing for it. Wanted to draw faces again, been too long, haven't focused on faces almost 2 months now. Been busy drawing anatomy of other parts of the body, but nice with a refresher.

5th day of Inktober and honestly not a particularly good draw day. Almost everything i made went wrong in one way or another, if it's the line weight or the edge control or the structure, but whatever. Sometimes you have those days.

Working on some face studies, trying to get back into painting. I FEAR COLORS

Face study finished (or abandoned, I don't think i can work on this piece anymore). Really refreshing getting back into painting.

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely be doing that. =D

current study I'm working on, feel like I'm learning a lot. Just posting this WIP here now since I can't work on it the next 4 days ish, since I'll be out of town.

Thanks. =)
Yeah, I see that now, mistakes tend to make themselves apparent after I post things, I've noticed. =P

The left arm (our left) needs some slight silhouette adjustments, and the left hip needs to go slightly more inward. I'll apply these notes on monday. =)

Current progress on this study. Holy moly, there is a LOT of things that need correction. at this point I wish I made a grid to get a 1:1 scale and understanding of the shapes. I sort of cheat by using temporary rulers (shift dragging the brush from the form in the reference to the form on my study).

I got a little stuck and sick of the paint studies, so I took some inspiration from @brianhermelijn and did some Thumbnail Explorations. My first attempts at doing this, but it was VERY freeing and inspirational, so I'm definitely gonna be doing more of this.

@krunchymoist Thanks, appreciate it. ^_^
Just here to dump my Notan warmups

Im in a real Art Rut lately, feeling like everything I make is sub-par.
Haven't really been IN the mode today, but I drew some hairstyles.

Just dumping part of my experimental render. Been reading Andrew Loomis' figure drawing for all it's worth.
Mostly reading today.

Skull model does not belong to me, it was made by martinjario on sketchfab

Just made some observations on what happens when you change the FOV (field of view) on 3d models. This might be elementary to some, and I understood it somewhat, but the change is dramatic when you change from for instance 90 FOV to 30.
Something to keep in mind, and good reason to put thought behind where you place your vanishing points.

This is most evident on the front view, but if you compare the front plane on the on the second set of images you clearly see a difference, and it's also visible on the roundness of the skull on "our" side.

Some stuff I've done recently that I forgot to post. Been having a rough drawing period lately, but I feel like I'm finally getting out of it.
