Keep em coming, there is a lot that I could learn from all those sketches!

Anyway, haven't contribute anything for this thread for quite a while, here is something that is better than nothing~ XP

Neat, pretty sure you could pull off a nice one if you put your soul into it.
As for your questions to be honest I am as inexperienced as you.
Though I think the most important thing to do is to build a strong portfolio and start exposing yourself on the art community (CGsociety, ImagineFX, devientArt etc)


Haven't been active in this thread as of lately, here is something that I just uploaded minutes ago:

Artwork for this week.
I miss those time where I could finish an artworks within just a couple of days.

Google Sketchup bro.
I just paint it over the 3DModels don't have enough motivation nor the autism to do it from the scratch.

Original image of the 3D models for those who is curious.

Import.
I can't into 3D

As for the thread, yes it was painstakingly hard to color each and everyone of those.
I imagine if were to build this from scratch, would be awesome but don't think I would invest that much time doing so.

An hour+ study using a sculpture image.



Trying to experiment with different kind of brushes in Sai.
One of the regret I have is that I didn't properly construct the structure early on and it didn't turn out the way I want it to be later on.
Welp, lesson learned.

Spot on, I was experimenting with a different brushes and I still trying to figure out its proper usage.

The sculpture is "The Art Critic" by Philippe Faraut.


...now that I look at it again my construction is clearly still a mess...
Welp, gotta practice more.

2 artwork that I've uploaded a while back.




Both of them used Posemaniac pose.
You guys should check the site out.

Have been hitting wall of art-blocks for quite some times...
Though I got my own remedy for it; Fanart

Marketing, persistence and a good portfolio.

Well, a good artist doesn't always make a good businessmen, you're looking at the wrong person here when it comes to that.
The best way I know is to expose yourself and get involved with the online community...and that's pretty much it for me.

Haven't got much to show off lately, here's my latest artwork ~

I got another one in process....why not?

Stiff and unnatural...which is actually a common problem when you're trying so hard to get it right, but at the same time you didn't fully grasped the anatomy.
This is the same problem I have, and I have been advised of a good way to fix it is to practice sketching the form and flow of various poses.

Finally something personal to post in here~ XP

It is as easy as grabbing a stock canvas texture, and set it above the artwork as an Overlay layer.
Here is something new, more of the same as before...though I think I kinda went overboard with the texture.

Grayscale coloring? Sai just doesn't have that many layer options such as Color layer for me to pull it off, and I just don't have the patient to went through such process.
Kudos to you for pulling it off nicely for a first time!

Artwork for this week, again, more of the same like before.

Art dump!!

Not Quite SFW



A couple of commissioned piece~





Speed paint~

Well, my table happens to have a rolling pad.
Resizing the brush is as simple as turning it back and forth. It is fast and smooth.

Not quite new, but it is something that I can upload today:

Happy new year~
Background is a matte painting using a stock image~ XP

Really wish I could invest more time drawing personal stuff...orz.
