I've been so inspired by this forum that I am starting a sketchbook of my own. I'm not sure what will be in here for sure. I"ll use it as a visual journal of random this and thats. I imaging some will be loose and some will be more finished but all will rather random and fun. That's what I use to love about my old sketchbooks.... fun collections of junk and most with no real intent or purpose other than to visually exercise. I may pull in some old stuff and put a new spin on it. Ah, the beauty of digital.... the paint never dries. Reworks are limitless.

This is an old skinny line that I just did a tone study of. I'm thinking of a whole series of these water creatures. Pshop.

Took on the challenge of a speed painting. The subject was "Big Girl, Little Bikini". Was great fun! Nice to so something all in one day. I call it "Peekaboo".

Line sketch- 20 min.
Tone render- 1 hr 30 min.
Color- 1 hr

I'm using this forum to put tidy up my unfinished/abandoned scribbles. This one has bopped around with an whole series for years it seams. Not much time invested overall, just never finished it. Today I put my name on it.

I call this a doodle because it is so small. I painted it at the uploaded size of 500x700 pixels. It still amazes me how much detail digital media affords. I dig pixels!

I was experimenting on a quick render technique using the original line work as more than just an underlay. Blur, layer, blend, push and pull I hammered it into a rough shape in 20 minutes. I polished it off with another hour of noodling. It worked pretty well with this subject but it may not be so effective on something more soft and delicate.

Nice start,
I love seeing the rough line sketches and then the final rendering below each idea. Nice rendering style. I love that strange abstract looking creature with the eyes, what looks like a tooth on the upper back and a sac/brains up top..

Thanks Mike! Yes that does look like a tooth! I have no real explanation for it though. I just drew it LOL.

Here are some more skinny lines from the "Water Creature" series. Ink on paper, old school.

cool drawings^^
and the rendering looks great, love the style, keep it up.
I should get some more sketching going myself

SARDEANIE · 11-30-2009, 03:05 AM

Adding to the "sketchbook". Kind of more like a WIP than a sketch but I'm undecided on the final approach so I'm throwing some color ideas around. Digital media is just great for this kind of stuff, yes?

The line drawing is a rework from something I sketched ages ago. I reworked some proportions. The tone WIP I did in an hour.

I liked the idea of really strong contrasting colors giving it an almost "pop art" feel. I imagine the final being completely rendered tonally as realistically as I can make up. Taking a trip around the color wheel brought the 4 variations.

I'm undecided on a color set but I suppose if I settled on the first I could make any of the others with a hue shift. Anyone have a favorite?

SARDEANIE · 11-30-2009, 03:13 AM

I figured I'd try a more "traditional" color palette. I could easily go this way for the final. It's just a personal work but I'd like to finish it.

SARDEANIE · 12-11-2009, 02:47 AM

Why does symmetrical drawing feel like cheating? Anybody else feel that way? Sure is fun though. I just bought Sketchbook Pro a couple of weeks ago and I LOVE it. 10 min. doodles.

SARDEANIE · 12-11-2009, 06:48 AM

Another quicky "cheat" with Sketchbook Pro.

SARDEANIE · 12-16-2009, 02:02 PM

More Sketchbook Pro cheatery! I'm addicted! So fast.

Jamie_Romoser · 12-16-2009, 09:31 PM

Your styles sick man keep it up!

zemotion · 12-17-2009, 01:53 AM

I really really dig the water creatures stuff. Awesome!

davepalumbo · 12-17-2009, 03:15 AM
