    Default Andrei's Sketchbook


    Hi CGHub,

    My name is Andrei and this is my sketchbook.
    I'm a 3D Environment Artist and I'm interested in concept art. I would like to learn the basics: perspective, line weight, values, color theory, form and function, composition... and I plan to do a lot of studies. Once I'm happy with the quality of the studies I make I will start drawing over my 3D scenes to improve them and at some point I the future I would also like to draw full environments from my mind.
    I will try to post daily everything I do. I will draw daily.
    I'm also documenting my learning process here: http://andrei313.blogspot.ro/

    Thanks for visiting my sketchbook and please leave a comment!

                    Perspective practice ~1.5h
                    I would have liked to paint it as well but I didn't know how to approach a night scene (not yet).

                      I think that perspective stuff try to figure out on paper, because you train your hand to make straight lines from elbow.
                      Anyway gas pump from previous post looks pretty cool

                        Thanks coyoteart. I did just that today. I will try to keep a balance between drawing on paper and digitally.
                        I spent approx. 1h on all the studies (I used photo ref).

                            More perspective practice. ~10min/study
                            I find it hard to draw correctly when the vanishing points are outside. Any tips?
