Xilul's Sketchbook

[xilul]

Hi, My name is Lee currently an art student. I've been starting to take my drawing seriously like 1 and a half year I think. I'm really inspired to work in the industry and trying to get better at drawing. :))) Here are some of my painting, study and drawing. I did hope you guys like them and every c&c are very welcome.

Also I posted most of my recent study and sketches @ my tumblr http://neverskiplineday.tumblr.com/

Hey Lee, welcome aboard. You already know what you need to do, and you already doing it, which is doing conceptual work and actually putting it out there regardless of where your at.

After all, "Finish not perfect" by Jake Parker.

Continue putting the work, and if by any chance some insights pop up in your future works, I will point them out.

This all looks incredible! I'm a novice so I can't really tell you what you do or don't need to work on, to me this all just looks awesome. Can't wait to see what else you post!

[thunderdumpling]

Wow, your really good. I always hear about how art school is pointless, however seeing your work is very reassuring that some things are worth doing.

[xilul]

@brianhermelijn Thank you very much
@taydemcdonald Thank you for your kind words
@thunderdumpling Thank you and, yea IMO art school isn't completely pointless but most of these come from self study and practice. I feel like art school giving you a guideline of what to study then you expand further from it, do some research read more book and such. Get some feedback from tutor, get in touch with people who like to draw etc.

Just finished the first day of Inktober, this is the first time for me. The linework is really stiff, well I think I got a lot more to learn and practice.

Thank you guys
Some Loomis and Reilley's plane of face study, most of them are posted on my Tumblr but ill just gonna stick them in here as well.
Feel like I don't have confident at all on traditional medium, the linework is very wonky. I really need to concentrate more on this area.

[neia-eh]

I totally recognize that face building technique you used in the most recent set of sketches! I'm glad to see this isn't a dead practice, and thank you for demonstrating it so beautifully!!
*Also, I saw that you mentioned you were having trouble with the line work.. did changing mediums help at all? I noticed I improved working from copy paper to sketch grade. Not sure if it'll help or hinder, but I went back to basics using a ballpoint pen XD That seemed to give me better control.
^.^ Good luck with Inktober, dear, I'll be supporting your progress!

[xilul]

@neia-eh Thank you!!, I think it's just about practicing since I don't draw that much on traditional medium. Feeling much better now since I start concentrated on this subject for a week, also thank you for your tips tho.

Been quite busy with uni and stuff for a while but anyway here are some stuffs I did on last week. some studies, Inktober and a thumbnail for my uni group project.

[xilul]

@miike Thank you very much.
Been really sad lately, dealing with my facebook problem. A bit of rant here I just wanna take it off
Well long short story of what happened 2days ago there is an account with similar name and family name to me added me and most of my friend. the account was fresh so I thought someone is pretending to be me. I reported that account a day after my personal account got disabled instead of the fake one I reported.

I tried to reply back to the support box that inform me about my ban, showed my passport, University ID card and my name change form yesterday haven't heard anything back yet, also I've sent the passport, University ID card, and my name change form. Confirm identity form yesterday same result haven't heard anything from them.

Well sry for the rant I just feel really bad hope I will get my personal FB account back soon. Here are some art and study I did on this week. Not much this week tbh.

My group project, backdrop for the game and some Zbrush scuplting for our main character.

Torso and Lips study

A quick sketch I did today for the character from my personal project 'Terana' I am planning to start a comic for this story, gonna be fun :))). Been doing the back story for this project for a while now.
