more figure drawing and dragons

Study from Andrew Loomis book.
More dragons, inspiration from the art of creature box

formula of the head

Really amazing that you can draw the skull perfect by using simple mathematics. Im trying to put it all in my head.

andrew loomis, more figure drawing

Made this weekend some study's from Andrew Loomis book:

Here is one of the page I used. From Andrew Loomis, figure drawing for all it's worth

And some doodles. I got inspiration from creaturebox and tank girl

Andrew Loomis, first steps in human anatomy

Internship is almost done and I am thinking what I want to learn next. I want to focus more on drawing landscapes/backgrounds, vehicles, props and human characters. I want to be able to draw a semi human character. So that's why I started reading and doing books of Andrew Loomis. I just did this drawing, I did more but I didn't saved them. I want to use my blog to keep track of my progress.

poses

I got inspired by a post from John: http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2009/08/heres-goal-to-make-your-own-poses.html
And give it a try. Some are studies others are own poses.

More own poses:

This tool makes my day, now I can use all the old small pencils I still have.

doodle thursday

Got some inspiration of some various characters

office backgrounds

Some office background practice drawings.

setup background

Im trying to learn how to setup backgrounds. I didn't really focused on design, so I tried to keep that as simple as possible. Thinking about what I could do next... Anyone suggestions?

drawing poses

Looked at the construction of different characters. With a few basic shapes you really can make allot of variations.
Made some own poses from Calvin and Hobbes. Im getting more used on working in photoshop.

Felix the cat, backgrounds study

John K posted some covers on his blog, I used one of them to make a background study.

I want to learn how to make drawings like this. Where backgrounds and characters are one whole. With this study im trying to understand how the artist is planning this, so I could apply it to my own drawings.
Here I made a study, it's quite hard because you have to manage allot of things. I did it quite fast and think I could have done a better job if I take some more time for it. I will do that next time, I think I can learn really allot of these study's.

Made one with the focus on the characters. I think i could have got the lines better.

week #2

Storyboard course week 2 from Sherm Cohen.

After feedback. Not sure about the first and six panel. I know it's best not to show characters their back. And in the six panel I don't know if it's getting confusing.

homework week 3

It was all about acting, so I made all these doodles. After I got feedback from Sherm I made these new doodles (under). Im trying to get more fluid drawings. Strong line of action and a strong and clear silhouette.

storyboard course lesson #1

Im doing a 10 week course from Sherm Cohen. Known from making storyboards for Ren and Stimpy, Hey Arnlod, Spongebob and many more. You really should check out his blog if you didn't do that before, it's really awesome. It's a real honor to be in this course and Im trying to learn as much as possible. These drawings are from week 1. It was about what to show and not so much about drawing a final storyboard.

After this I got feedback from Sherm and wanted to do something with it. So I made this version. Still a bit rough but more finished then the first one, there are still things I want to change about (at the end I want to make a new version of this one and want to make it better). But everything in small steps. Besides that I want to learn how to draw more appealing in photoshop, I still don't like how my drawings/doodles turn out in photoshop compared with my pencil drawings.

At the moment Im practising drawing the characters. These are just a few and are gonna post some more soon. It's a really good way for me to learn how to draw poses. There's still something I don't like about my poses, especially from the alien. But I can't nail it what is bothering me about them.

poses

I still prefer drawing on paper instead of drawing in photoshop. But it's a great way to doodle and work on layers. It works really quick.

studies

Recently I didn't post allot of studies, like I always did. But I still making them. I still take allot of drawings from John K's blog and study them. Evry day I try to do a couple, to warm up or to finish a day. It only takes a bit too much time to scan them all in, like I used to do. But it's still important to study.

At the same time I do practicing to make my own original drawings, but I'm not a writer and I find it hard to come up with own ideas. I do learn allot from the storyboard course I'm following. I hope I will post some ideas for some own characters soon.

Props

Vacation. That means allot of drawing! Im following a storyboard course from http://shermcohen.deviantart.com/ it's just the first week but im learning already allot of new things. In september I have a new internship at Ronimo, a dutch game studio. Between this all im doodling props and stuff to learn as much as I can. I will try to do more real life drawing in the park etc. as well. Im searching more tutorials and courses were I can learn allot, does anyone have some suggestions or links?
