The Best and Worst Sketching of September

You may be wondering why it's more than a third of the way through October and I'm only now posting about September.  For once it's not because of the effort involved in getting all the images together nicely - nope, finished that on the 2nd.  It's because I was monumental depressed (as you may have gathered in the last post) and just couldn't be bothered.  Couldn't be bothered to speedpaint either, or paint anything else for that matter.  I did sketch a lot though - most of it was dreadful, but you'll get to see that next month.
Odd thing though, today I feel much better.  I felt much better when I got up, I felt even better when the thing I've been working on at work started to come together, and pretty awesome when I won a raffle for a set of snazzy Saints Row the Third headphones (oh, that's the Saints Row the Third I worked on by the way - check it out next month when it hits the stores... if you're old enough).  So, here we are all happy and jolly; better write a blog post while it lasts - hey, I'm placing you lot above painting again, be thankful! ;)

The Best

 

Now I know this isn't exactly da Vinci, it's not even Rolf Harris (who's awesome by the way, I don't care what you think - did I mention I met him?  Oh, yeah, I did didn't I...), but I'm still really pleased with some of these.
Bloke looking all sheepish top left - reminds me of young Rutger Hauer for some reason.  Doesn't look like him, but reminding me is enough, plus I like his expression (I gotta work on those, and, y'know, everything else).
Middle top, I love - The universe needs more badass Black Elves with awesome Afros.
Repairman Joe on the right there looks grumpy, but I think that's the first time I've ever drawn headgear nicely without reference. Pretty much nailed it too.
The figure lower left is far from perfect, but shows progression on trunk anatomy (I still suck, and you'll not the lack of arms and legs - yeaaaah).
Small figure next to her just looks cute (if inaccurate), and over from her is someone looking rather angry - best angry face I've drawn without reference).
Yes, that man looks like he's reaching for the toilet paper... maybe he is, but he was supposed to be pointing, and then I hit the edge of the sketchbook ;).
The face below that is the only one from reference - National Geographic.
The scribbled one may make you wonder why it's there - well it's part of my new 'scribble drive' to rapidly get ideas on paper (without worrying about quality) it works maybe 50% of the time and mostly aren't worth showing even when they do.  That particular one was drawn with my left hand - yeah, I'm not exactly ambidextrous.

The Worst

Oh gosh, do I have to talk about these?  Really?  Well, I refuse, I'm in a good mood and you're not going to ruin it for me.  Suffice to say that as ghastly as these eyesores are they're far better than the worst batches from a year ago (I hope), so at least I'm showing some improvement on the bottom end, not just the top (horray).

Now, hopefully I'll have enough material to do another post before the end of the month after that dry spell, but if not rest assured I'm working on it and there'll be plenty to post come November (when I'll be to busy playing Saints Row to bother ;)).  Oh, actually I've still got some RFA stuff to post - win!

3 WEEKS TO GO BEFORE THE BOARD EXAMS!!!

Social Profiling № 6: Four's a Crowd

It's funny, it's been three weeks since I've posted anything, yet it seems much, much longer.  3 weeks isn't bad going in the grand scheme of things, right?  Truth is I don't know what I've been up to to fill those three weeks so full that it seems like a lot longer, but it has.  One thing I know is I've been unusually negative about my stuff of late (and if you know me much you'll know that that's pretty darn negative).  I've not been happy with much I've produced (with the exception of two sketches you'll see soon), and this is stuff I've been openly complimented on.  I take the compliment ('thanks!' I say) but I don't fully understand why I deserve to receive them. This is at work as well as at home.  But you didn't come here to read my moaning, you came here to look at pictures (I hope), so we'll pick this up later...  If you want to get up to speed on the Social Profiling story so far you can start here and work backwards.

Terry

Me and Terry go way back.  Waaaaaay back, not as far as Stu, but I've known him for at least a decade.  Terry was with me the day I bought my first Wacom tablet back in 2000 (though I doubt he remembers) and it just so happens that tablet is still working just fine, so it's somewhat fitting that I painted his portrait with it.  Terry has a daughter now who's somewhat younger than the tablet, and he asked me to paint this particular picture (after I complained I didn't like any of the ones he had on facebook).  I don't usually do specific requests, but since I've known him so long, and since he actually gave me the actual photograph to work from I felt it would be rather mean to say no.

As usual you can click the images for largoramavision.

So, I don't think I did as nice a job on his daughter as I would have liked, but she is recognizable, as is Terry.  I think I went most awry with he mouth (I think it's a bit small) and her ear (it's a bit big).  The lighting worked out quite well though, and I think I did a really good job on Terry's right eye (left on the picture) and forehead.  The picture took quite a while longer than most of these since I was painting two people rather than one, which also means I have more step by step images than usual:

Kelly

So Kelly is a very close friend of my wife's.  I also happen to work with her husband (though not alongside him, just in the same building) and her Son and Daughter are (usually) good friends with my Son.  She's good people, really that's all you need to know.  This picture doesn't do her any justice by the way, but is obviously Kelly if you know her.

So, not a great deal to say about the picture.  The turquoise in the background was added because it's her favourite colour, and also because the picture needed a little something to make it pop.

Elizabeth

You've seen Elizabeth before if you're a regular follower of the blog, she was in the UDraw event post from last year. This one is (I think) a much better picture, but oddly looks less like her. No point prattling on about her here when you could go and read that :)

Not happy with lots of things about this picture, but I was trying a new technique; using pretty much just the new features of the pallete knife tool in the latest ArtRage update.  The exception was for the jellyfish behind her which was done over the oils using a wet marker pen.  Worked out OK, but her hairline is all wrong (I really have to work on hair, I'm rubbish at painting it without spending far longer on it than the rest of the picture ;)  Why Jelly fish?  She studied to become a marine biologist, loves sea life and had a picture of her taken in front of a tank filled with them. Obvious really, right?  You'll note in the progression below that I started from a pencil sketch, rather than a digital one as I normally would.

So, now those are out of the way, back to moaning...  except I won't, because mere seconds after I wrote my moan at the top I saw the following pop up on facebook (and thanks to Marcus for bringing it to my attention, and Ira for saying it).  It pretty much puts me in my place ;)

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”
