sketchbook update

I finally started driving school. I do pay attention to the class, but my hands have to be kept busy at all times. (yep, I'm a very mercurial type)
You can see some preliminary sketches for my last digital painting at the bottom.

sketchbook page 28

This one was started at college (hand, eye), continued during the driving school lecture (glass, ear) and finished at home before bedtime yesterday (candlestick, shuriken).

As usual, black and red ballpoint pen.

warming up

Today's lecture was almost interesting, the professor is a funny man and can keep his audience awake with his witticisms. But I still decided to pass.
I feel a bit rusty, but here it is. No horror vacui on the first one!

ballpoint sketches
evil gnome etc.

back to school

The first week back at college hasn't been very fruitful... actually I didn't go there much at all. But now I'm back with my sketchbook ballpoints.

how you guys get here

I admit, I'm guilty of it — typing questions in the search box, hoping to find a tutorial about the topic. But it's still funny when I find it in my logs. So here's what people type in and mysteriously get here.

how to sketch curvy women

I honestly don't know, I rarely do those.

how to draw eyes and lips

Try searching with quotes: "how to draw eyes", "how to draw lips".

what a fashion sketch should look like

From what I gather, there's no rule. It's important to show how the clothes looks, and people may resemble a hanger, no one will care.

how did michelangelo know how to draw the human body so well?

My guess is he devoted years of his time to study and practice, mainly drawing from life. Just a guess.

how to draw nude chicks

By looking at nude chicks.

lecture boring?

Indeed.

why lectures are boring

Because you're studying something that doesn't interest you. Or perhaps you are interested, but the teacher is so dull he manages to ruin it for everyone, as was the case with my programming class.

great nude chicks

I doubt you were happy with your find.

never

more.

...

I don't want those of you who came here for the sketches to feel cheated, so here's something abstract I did in ballpoint pen during the *sigh* lectures.

abstract sketch abstract sketch

bad student

random sketches

Black and red ballpoint pen.

Lilin or something

daemon lady

Perhaps I should be drawing bigger boobs. And more curvy women in general.
Black ballpoint pen, cleaned up in Photoshop.

Sketchbook update

The first drawing is something I sketched a few weeks ago, and goes well with the rest of today's sketchbook pages.

doll face

The next two are sketched today, during lectures.
During one class some guy I never saw before sat next to me. I was paying attention to the class for a while, and then I noticed drawing movements of his hand. I couldn't see what it was, but he seemed like he knew what he was doing. (Mental note: I have to take a video of myself when I'm drawing, because other's people's movements always seem so different than mine!) I was thinking of asking him about it, but changed my mind. I guess I am a shy person after all.
But I should be looking for such people around me. I feel like a misfit sometimes.
Anyway, here's the stuff.

random eyes and faces
girl with a kite

Black and red ballpoint pen.

lectures are boring III

I should make a category for these. Again sketched during the lecture. Obviously I haven't used reference, so some mistakes are evident, especially on the female — wrong direction of spine at the bottom (it should be aligned with the butt) and lower ribs are too narrow, but the figure silhouette is fine I think. Except that knees should be lower, but I ran out of paper space.

skeletons

Black ballpoint pen.

lectures are boring II

I went to my first lecture this year. Things haven't changed much, still sketching obsessively instead of taking notes.. :)

Red ballpoint pen and white gel pen.

lectures are boring I

Random sketches during regulation technique lectures.
Drawing breasts seen from profile doesn't seem to work for me.

a guy writing and the Devil
some random ladies and an old man

evil Xor from outer space

Sometimes I'm a geek like that. But the credit for this idea goes to my classmate who uttered XORRRR while I was pissing my pants.

XOR

Fantasy sketches

Another batch of older sketches, made during lectures.

dragons
demon
faerie

Girl with a gun

Does "Basics of regulation technique" sound interesting to you? Neither it did to me. So I was sketching during the lecture, and one of the sketches I decided to color in Photoshop:
Girl with a gun WIP

I didn't really pay attention to lighting and details, but it was fun.

I like to sketch

So I decided to give my doodles, studies, in-development and other stuff a decent home.
