Looking to improve

These are great, wonderful compositions. I would love to see these amped up in Photoshop a bit.
I have to see if I can post some sketchwork one of these days as well.

Thanks man. I gotta leave the photoshop until i get a scanner :frowning: . Unfortunately I am low on cash at the moment and no money coming in, so scanner is on the shopping list still.

Some really rough sketches followed by a refined sketch. Tomorrow i will try and loosen this up and make a couple adjustments.

Thanks Michael, its in the pipeline :slight_smile:


Nice one!

Some rough sketching today. Will tidy one of these up tomorrow.

Struggled over last day. Couldn’t get in the zone… Will try to clean something up for tomorrow.

I feel like I’m seeing some improvement. the feel a little looser.

You are definitely getting better. The design works well too. Keep doing these line sketches for a while, exploring what works best.

Thank you for the kind words guys.

Managed to tidy up the sketch, although not to happy with the ellipses, but hey ho.

Well the good news is I got a brother mobile scanner brand new for a real steal… Bad news is my sketch didn’t turn out right… Tried sketching an existing watch this time but messed up the outlining and a bit of the shading but overall think i learnt some stuff. On to the next.

I liked the drawing, especially the free hand ellipses came out really good. :smiley:

don’t beat yourself up too much, this is really showing a nice progression!

Thanks for the nice comments.

This one I haven’t finished yet. Just a first draft, tomorrow I will refine and put some shading and colour in.

I like seeing those clean scans!

These are starting to feel like good brainstorm sketches, rather than laboured full detail renders, which is a good thing. Your line weights are starting to show some control as well, which is helping define the sketch.

I think that it is important to present the sketch properly as well, so while it may seem minor, to push you along further perhaps consider some minor cropping (if needed) of your scans to give the page a more refined composition.

First draft. Will try to refine and finish tomorrow.
