    Default Gorgonzola's Noodlings...


    Hi all,

    I've lurked for ages on this site, and I finally decided to start posting a sketchbook here. If you also frequent CA.org (which I'm sure quite a few of us here do,) then this might be a retread for a bit as I post up stuff already seen there. Eventually it'll all be new stuff as I finish out my backlogs.

    So! To start with, here's some value studies using Faragasso's charts, and some figure drawing from the imagination.

    EDIT: Blargh, I loved how easy it was to attach stuff...until I saw how tiny it reproduces it. So I had to readjust the links...

    EDIT2: Figured out how to do the attachments properly, now I just need to retroactively switch these first two posts over to the attachments and off of photobucket.

      More stuff out of the old digital sketchbook...A couple more figure studies, and some sketches for the robot design on my gallery page...

        Default Starting a new forum life here on CGHUB...


        So with all the recent crap that's hit CA.org recently, I've been feeling more and more like I need to take my coat off the hangar and get out of there. I've tolerated some real stupid stuff in the past, but with the sort of sketchy shenanigans going on there by the management I'm hesitant to return (even though this means giving up some forum friends.)

        So that means I'm focusing on this now for my sketchbook! I'm going to be uploading older stuff until it gets to be more recent, so stuff that's posted is still more or less chronological. I think I grabbed most of what I wanted from when I last posted, so I don't think there'll be a big jump in quality between the last post and this one. In anycase, hope you guys enjoy my stuff, and I look forward to being a regular around here.

          More pencil sketches and doodles, usually done while waiting for someone to arrive or finish up an errand.

            Some portrait studies I did in Photoshop. Was testing out some new brush methods that I still use today.

                Trying out Acrylic paint, some thumbnail work on an old illustration, and digital and traditional sketchbook doodles.

                  Digital pencil roughs and digital inks for ArtOrder's Levi Challenge that went on a while back, plus more sketchbook doodles.

                  Awesome sketchbook, I particularly enjoyed the studies from your first post, as I am working on my foundations as well. Great stuff, keep posting!

                    Amaakir: Thank you! I have a lot of backlog to post up on here, so the old stuff keeps rolling...

                    These were all from a life drawing session and skull studies. I don't use 9B pencils anymore, though at the time I used woodless pencils for life drawing. Nowadays I use charcoal pencils for most life drawing stuff on newsprint.

                      Gouache studies, pencil doodles, and roughs/pencils/traditional inks for an old illustration. I have the final up in my gallery here on CGHUB.

                              Mjanowski: Thank you! I love inking, it's such a nice feel, especially with a brush.

                              Phoenicorn: Thanks! I think I have some more value stuff here in this backlog...

                              More from the backlog - ink warmups and doodles, mostly. Sketchbook pages were done with a pentel brush, the doodles on white bristol were done with a W&N series 7 no. 2.
