Hi everyone,
So, being inspired by the Prague workshop (for people wondering, I was with the dutch bunch), I decided to change my nickname from DaRobertz into Robot (my old nickname sucked, if any of the admins reads this, you can delete the DaRobertz Profile). Anyway, I thought it was a nice way to start my new life as Robot with my first sketchbook on CA (WOOT!). So let's begin:
(On a side note, people that where inspecting Robots when they entered this thread, to bad, none of those in here. But there will be, just you wait)
Oke, this is a doodle I made in Prague. It kinda sucks, but it's the last pencil drawing i made since Prague. After that, it's all pen.
At the portefolio review in Prague, one of the most important crits Coro and Marko made was to start drawing with pen, cause it helps you put down lines in one go, thus sparing you time and giving you a cleaner drawing. So i decided to start drawing with pen until I get my lines right. Since Joeri got props for his hands drawings, I decided to start doing some of does to get a grip on this medium. So hands it is! (As you may notice, I used to much lines on these)
In Prague they had this great statue on the square. We stopped there to draw it. It was a nice experience. Tourist gave us a lot of attention. Me like attention . This is from the statue. Used to much lines on this one (again), it's way to busy.
Another one form the statue. This one turned out nice I think.
Back to the hands again. Still using to much lines.
Hands, you got to love them!
At this point, the guys form my sketchgroup adviced me to try to draw them in on go. After a few failures, this one turned out nice.
I was kinda wasted when i made this one. Started out as the previous one, but i made some abstract piece of it. I don't know what I was thinking .
Oke, time for something new. My faces kinda sucked so i started doing those. Here ar some live drawing i made from my folks and some stuff from Mucha i tried to copy.
Figured that if i wanted to learn how to draw faces without reference, I needed to start learning the basics of a head. Starting with skulls (everybody loves skulls). Done from reference.
More head practice.
And some more head practice. Feeling like I'm getting the hang of it .
Well, that was it for know. I hope you enjoyed, although I'm not as good as the greater part of this forums, I'm trying.
Gonna try to update this daily. Now I'll be waiting for your helping crits and stuff.
Keep up the good work ,
Robot
