Where the sketches go.

[ZoXArkXoZ]

Hey All!

I decided to make this here thread all about sketches. I know that we sketch a million things but only finish up some of them so i'm sure u guys have all sorts of cool sketches to show off :p. Needless to say this thread will be mostly for comments in order to finish up the sketches we start. I emphasize COMMENT so make it constructive.

I'll start it with this:


It's from a certain scene in HP book 4 that caught my iterest when rereading it. I want to add another character to it so this is only the start of the pic. Anyway, i need help with his pose. He's tied up and on the ground but his legs look awkward. Any ideas of how to fix this? Maybe an example?

So that's what it is! I was looking at it thinking... "hmm something about the pose doesn't seem right to me"

Then I read underneath


As for the legs, I think if you shifted his bottom torso more to (his) right, it would look more natural, as if he was being pulled in the ropes. I hope you know what I mean by this... and hope it helps at all.

Hi its a great sketch god knows y u would draw harry potter, either way, the legs r too short so they look a bit out of proportion and the knees dont appear to be resting on anything. +)

Lol that guy can't find his tooth brush. Somebody help him .

Anyway, i see what u mean about the legs being to short and i'll have to work on adding weight other wise he'll seem to float.. like he is now:D.

As fer ur pics; u have the most unique style i've seen to date. Work on it and it could be pretty cool. From the two pics here it seems u lack depth. ur characters seem flat. Other than that it's all pretty creative. Keep it up eh.

Hi thanks, to be honest its because i cant remeber the last time i spent any time at all on a sketch, i nocked those two up in less than an hour. I never copy ever, just a personal rule 2 keep things interestin and has helped my imagination get an outlet with the number of quick sketches i do. Iam workin on one thats cost me over an hour already and ill do a proper scan an post it here soon as its done, in the mean time here is my current fave

That pics is interesting in an abstract way and I can't help but think of one of the godhand Void from Berserk. It's coo.

Here's a pic i sketched a while back on the commute home from school. Ballpoint pen and some lead on regular ol' lined paper. (Taken the previous comments and have started working on that pose and adding weight).

[samonmoose]

I see you like teeth too eh? lol
Hmmm i had no real inspiration for that drawing and i have never watched berzerk but i did have the game on dreamcast which was verrrry satisfying. it wasnt intended to be abstract cause i never plan wat im gonna doodle i just do it, same 4 all my stuff.

You sketch is pretty cool the hands nicely positioned and the fingers show the grip nicely. The shading is good overall just a couple of areas seemed a bit patchy (the sword, the back ground) shading with ballpoint is tough but can be done effectively like using a hb pencil for all tones, its limmited but can give your image a cleaner look than pencil. Only one actual design flaw is the sword, the blade follows on from the wrist in all swords and knives and in this drawing it is set too low.
Nice overall tho, keep em commin.

hi, heres a doodle i did at work (on the till at a supermarket) that i never got round to finnishing, i did it using the ball point used for sining credit card receipts lol

I think the legs look pretty good. The posture'd be a bit awkward if he wasn't tied up. Incidently, I don't remember that particular part of the 4th book.

I have yet to read #5, but I'm hoping to, so no spoilers, please.

[ZoXArkXoZ]

Woah i've let this one get too far down. Here's a sketch i did today in english while my prof rambled about how great a riddle was written.. yes i was OBVIOUSLY interested in it... (ugh)


Anyway i was going for a hip Gatts but it turned into a guy with a nifty scar. Planning on redoing it but before that, any suggestions?

Excellent face and neck. Personally, I find something weird with the hair and hard to explain. The top seems a tad too flat, and could do with some rounding. The exposed foretemple area is too big. Push the hair forward towards the front to reduce the area. Maybe the hair on top is too little as well...

Umm...I think it's pretty well done. I mean you need to have seen the show berserk in order to understand the elements of the face...it's all there. the hair seems fine to me...gutts had a psudo-flat top. The facial expression all together is very gutts. I say just finish it by adding all the rest that is needed. Perhaps throw in his other "scar" or a tatoo of his other scar (othe scar is kinda hard to show because of it's location on the neck. I'd like to see someone do a samurai gutts. I think I might...it'd be hard core.
