new drawing method

After lee yeung viewed my sketchbook, he told me that I should stop using a millions lines to draw, but train to get it right using the first try. So I abandoned my old construction method and went ahead, the result is suprising…

This piece is more of a drawing practice and a study, I have references for them. Image is shown big to show line quality. And I purposely leave the sketchbk binding there to show some RAW powah~. XD

I found that this is actually quite close to the method Daryl has been using. I never thought I could do it, that is, until I tried. =)

This method DOES works much faster, and also looks cleaner with more ’seh’. I particularly like the one on lower left, showing some swiftness and accuracy. Can put down on paper what I can think of quickly. Thank you, lee yeung!! And daryl, I kind of understand how you draw le. =D

However, I would still encourage ppl to use constructions as to better sense of form. Then later can jumpboat to this method.

Now upon discovering this I suddenly got more mood to draw. It’s like one day you discover that holding alt is color pick in PS, makes you wants to paint more. Hahahaha… KK you dogs post something as well.

cheers

testing

Still confused about everything so i shall test a post! If you can read this then it must be successful! =D 

ahhh….the 3hr sculpt that’s late for submission lol

oh well hi all, i decided to do a sculpt challenge but realize i haven been practising much digital sculpts and hence the lack of speed lol and the sculpt challenge was a speed sculpt 1, so i took a try, failed to hit 3 hr on first try and decided to do a less difficulty sculpt on 2nd try but i din know i’ve missed the deadline time cos its some lame GMT +00 time so i thought its supposed to end at 6pm but well it ended at 5pm lol so hence im late and cant submit…lol alright too much ranting, heres the 2 sculpt, first 1’s 3hr+ and the teeth is well..im inexperienced sculpting it from a rectanglish box,
and 2nd one i decided to hide the teeth hhaha its about 2hr+, almost 3hr i believe,
here goes.


oh btw the topic is orc and i dun really think i hit it right on lol,
well perhaps thats what happens when time is on my ass lol
or mayb lack of research or just plain laziness, well might be doing some anatomy studies indept in 3d soon,
oh btw, if lixiong u’re reading, the clay tubes in zbrush is pretty….amazing lol form comes naturally with that tool lol.

Edit: time limit for the competition is also 3hr lol

ahh..

ahh lol er i figured i’ll just post a quick post to avoid troublesome clicking,
sg, er this theme dun have the artist tabs by the side?
as for lx,
lots of stuffs! lol but er would appreciate if u could….rotate it into correct direction the next time u post? lol
i was looking thru all of them and i had to left turn, right turn, left turn, right turn, lol
i would say a same thing i told sg ba, do it by layering shading, instead of shading whenever happy lol,
go by like first erm base tone, then follow by core or cast shadow, that sort of thing yea, then u will feel less frustrated when trying to get detailed shading ba, the layers sorta unify them all, like the top most layer the basic form is down then as u proceed into cast shadow then u pull back, they still look gd cos the top layer is there, where as if u cast shadow first, then later u like cannot maintain tone then will end up like weird looking tone ba, anyway take it slowly yea, words of vilppu, drawing is actually very slow, there are thoughts to be made as u proceed, try to cross conture on more logical place lol like cross contour at the elbow and do alittle shading rather than ur occasional cross contour to like emphasis the form.

another theme

sorry I didn’t meant to keep changing theme. I found that the old ver did not show who posted the post, so changed to a one that shows. suggestions are welcome. =)

present day…

and present day… currently studying anatomy entirely…. well, not exactly entirely, got some anime and comics mixed in it. Not much progress lately… hai~

P.S. depressing singapore weather… at noon its hot as hell…, at night… its hot as hell too…

P.P.S *hoping the weather in america would be twice as hot*

15 days ago…

and 15 days ago, i met vilppu….

Nah… i saw him in video

Anyway, i gotten his training videos from my colleague quite a while ago. And that time, for the first time, i took a close hard at his strokes. And set, i want that kind of stroke too. So again, i drew some stuff here and there, and realized that i lacked form in what i draw. So yea… that sucked. Going back to basics, anatomy.

a month ago…

brief summary of stuff a month ago, the last post was stuff about two months ago

after drawing here and there on a4, i attempting some drawings on newsprint. Sad to say but, it was extremely frustrating and draining. Every time i drew, i got a feeling that im going in a wrong direction. So hmm… im super passionate about charcoal drawings, my suckyness with charcoals or conte is really putting me off. Stopped for a few days for some thinking.

P.S. my bad for the rotated pics. Tilt ur heads people, lol

nothing to post

 

Hm, the Add Gallery function doesn’t seem to work for me. T.T

Nothing new to post so just some old sketches. Arms studies from Andrew Loomis and a 30 mins pose life drawing.
