Paper Sketchbook

I do have a paper sketchbook to. But I have to admit that I don't draw to much in it. Not sure why but I prefer to work in photoshop. Think it have to do with the ease of correcting mistakes. Then again, it sure is comfortable, sitting in my best chair, with my feet's on the table and draw. So this update is all from my paper sketchbook.

This first one is suppose to look like a moos.

On this page the barrel is done with led pencil and the three other are done with a ball point pen. (I have to figure out how to scan sketches from paper to digital properly)

I promised to post my images chronologically. To me that means everything and not apply a filter to what I post and don't post. So feel free to laugh with me *smiles*

The Crypt Creeper

To day I spent a few hours scanning, about two hundred Magic Cards I've had for many years. One of these cards was a card named. Crypt Creeper - which I tried my best to draw.

Watching these two over each other. It's not hard to pick up errors. Something I wish I was able to see when drawing it. But I guess that's what practice are for, All said and done, I'm quite happy with the end result.

The reference.

Looking at the work done so far. I'm the first to say that learning to draw is going to be harder then I expected. But I'm having a blast learning. I'm also getting to know some really interesting and great artists in the ConceptArt.org and CGPainting.com community's.

Loomis head and figure studies

After reading books on drawing figures and heads by Loomis. I'm beginning to understand how hard this quest of mine really will become.

One perspective drawing

I found the art community ConceptArt.org Through that forum I came across some videos created by Massive Black on one perspective drawing. After buying, downloading the CD's and watching the instructions. I did my best to set up a correct environment for one perspective drawing. This is how that look. Iv yet to use it for anything. As I have more then enough with practicing far less complicated things then perspective drawing. When the problem lies in drawing circles and lines. Perspective isn't what you need.

Wacom arrival

I was finally able to afford a shining new Wacom tablet. After quite some time researching, my decision fell down on the Wacom Intuos3 A4 size (12" by 9"). Boy was I happy like the easter bunny, on my way to the post office. Through my mind I think I was fabling about grandeur and master art, if I only could get a hold of a tablet.... little did i know...


I came home and riped of the boxing of my tablet and spent as little time I could on installing and configuring it - Eager to get on with creating great art. I was soon to find out, that a tablet do nothing to your art. If anything, it's harder then on paper. At least to begin with. As this image show you my wacom tablet surly did not make me an artist. Everything felt awkward. The surface was to smooth and the pen to thick. Hand eye coordination was strange and configuring the tablet properly with Photoshop was taking time. Thankfully, my awakening, did not kill my spirit. The quest goes on.
