Hey its a loomdun, and he is drawing stuff, how neat [NSFW]

rts

Big head but nice drawing chief.

Loomdun

hurgh

Kendeathwalker

JJ!

How come you never post anything outside of what you draw in class?


You need to put some serious consideration into setting up a proper work schedule.

NightDragon

I think Loomers is taking a lot of classes.

Godfather

So are a lot of students at my school.


And yet some are clawing their eyes out with work, getting four hours of sleep a night while others are getting it finished with no sweat, and both parties have the same amount of work to do.


The latter group simply knows how to sit down and work. It's something that I brought up in Ikage's thread, and unfortunately i've yet to go further into depth with it, but once you figure out how to do this properly, doing assignments and personal work becomes 200% easier.

rts

What the hell are you talking about?

Ikage

I heard my name what's going o-Oh my Loom that is well you are improving so awesomely though the bow atop the head is amazing.

And I believe Loom is actually spending all his time dedicated to this. Wake up eat whatever he can forage, mainly his favorite- MMM MINI WHEATS~ And just class all day. I'm assuming that's why he is making leaps and bounds.

beavotron

last i spoke to him, loomdun was drawing so much he was giving himself migraines
i don't think he posts all of the work he does
just the stuff he wants comments on


i only really post about a quarter of the work i do
actually... now that i'm in school and freelancing full time, that number has dropped to about 1%.

PROX

These are looking very nice loom.

Loomdun

whaaa, I don't even do stuff with people unless its drawing at the zoo or eating food, that's kind of a bold statement godfather when you talk about your school a lot but neverrrr post work, at least I think, I dont know, i'm going to go doodle now, oh god my mother is aiming me

Godfather

Oh don't get me wrong, this was not intended to be a slam on Loom! Honest!


I'm just curious as to how he works. Sets up his time and all that.

It's one thing to draw all the time, but if you're giving yourself migraines over it something is amiss!


How do you organize your sketchbook? What kind of exercises do you do? These are important questions! Maybe if I could see a little bit of how you organize your time I could offer better tips and tricks. As of right now, yes, I don't really have ground to offer much advice because I simply don't know how things work over in Watts.


Also I never have time to post my work because i'm usually bogged down with fifteen assignments on a weekly basis, and we're not making art, we're doing technical exercises. You don't really start creating stand alone products until year three, when everything you do comes together full circle. Also it's a lot of animation stuff that's either kept at the school or impossible to scan.

Loomdun

uhhhhh its okay I dont need any tips on organizing my work

andd thank you projeck

Projeck

oh okay i guess i will continue to not do that then

Loomdun

noooo not youu there I fixed it

Projeck

JEEEEEEEEEEEEZ

Godfather

Hahah, no, I guess you don't.

Loomdun

so anyways, i've been trying to copy this andrew loomis drawing, and I thought ehhhhh I could just eye it, and eyeing it has proven to be kind of hard, I used a line at least to help me pick a spot to place it, i'll be toning it once i make sure its perfectlyyy measured

NightDragon

Looking good, loom! Keep spending a lot of time in the measuring/perfecting stage...and definitely try to keep things more angular to start out, it'll make the curves more accurate.

Ikage

I second projeck just because you seemed to capture the guys SSSsssouuUUUuoooOOOoooolllll well enough which is insanely hard to do as an artist.
You can know everything sometimes but show no feeling behind the person.

That guy? I would enjoy him as a grandfather. Or teaching me about how dinosaurs are made from mosquitoes from really old fossilized amber with fun animations!

Also can't wait to see how your loomis project turns out.

Projeck

damn right you do

Loomdun

oh thank you ikage, today was pretty awesome, I managed to learn in class which was kind of intense on my head, it still feels a little squishy but my measurement has gotten really strong, I can confidently place down a drawing and go, this will touch the top to the bottom and be generally proportionate every time

the first 2 were a tad sloppy and then my instructor helped me learn a bit more and drew on the third one, so i'll just show the end results of my last 2 20 minute lay ins



edit: In case anyone is wondering, usually what happens is I learn new things mid class, applied what I theorized the week before after class, then build upon these and repeat the process, today, I came in and built up off my theory, but not only did I do this but I then reinforced it and then I managed to create a entirely new process and then apply this process and then create a entirely new thing to build on after that, it was, something else.

Agentflit

I like how you circled his crotch. INSPECT THIS AREA

by the way I have been enjoying your progress for awhile, you've gotten quite a bit better lately at communicating more crucial data with less strokes

Loomdun

thanks, I didn't intend for the circle to be that LOOK AT ITTT, Its just I rather not lovingly sculpt a amazingly detailed penis when my time is rather limited.

Today I played around with a 2 tone drawing, it was a fun change and I learned a lot today, and then I shall use what i learned to perform even BETTERRR!!

also I updated my deviant art stuff with 2 more pictures



edit: I was basically done with it and then I played around with shape design for 40 minutes

rts

Nice. This is what you should be doing after you get your layin down on every drawing. From here you build up your darks.

deadlydorito

Hey she has a nice looking face.

Or he is a very strange looking guy.

Loomdun

thanks, today was pretty neat, I did the cloth study in half the time it normally takes me (we started working on master copies in class a hour before it was over)



and heres some portraits I drew in the 20 minute head lay in

Shizumaru

Those last 20 minute heads look really rushed.. I think you're trying to do way too much in 20 minutes. A more advanced person wouldn't even be trying to get as much as you're getting if it were a longer pose. Slow way way down.

Loomdun

I usually accidently rush myself a lot in the 20 minute head pose classes, its a horrible habit, i'll make sure to push extremee slowness next time, I can do that hopefully

NightDragon

I think in a lot of your 3/4 view head portraits, you're squishing the head too much in the back, and not leaving room for it. Maybe it's the large section of hair'd head that you're not measuring properly, but it seems like you're having this issue pretty consistently. Might be a thing to watch out for.

Loomdun

yah I just figured out something that I can do next time that should not only help me slow down but make it more accurate, hopefully, I dont know I never say something will succeed till results are shown

Loomdun

This one isn't done yet, i'm going to work on it at home and see if I can improve it or destroy it

Loomdun

ehh i'm to scared to push it any further right now

DeeLock

Push push push!

It needs more contrast and push and pull, the values all very same-y.

I'm loving your fabric studies because there's a lot of contrast between the cloth, the folds and the background.

Loomdun

brain exploding

Loomdun

ughghghgh

Ikage

You are pushing so hard it makes pregnant women look like slackers.

Loomdun

those pregnant women are so lazy

PROX

doing very good loom.
