About Me

My photo
Grieverjoe (Jose Alvarez) is NOT a whiny emo as his name would suggest. He's an IT student with a love for art.

15 minutes

Another 15-minute sketch. Halfway through this, I decided I needed to learn value, so I set out to do so. No reference, though, which defeated the point of the whole "learning" thing.

Loomis hands studies

I think drawings hands is one of my weakest points. Hands, backgrounds and coloring.
Just a quick study. About 30 minutes. Thank you, Andrew.

I implores you...

..to look at this John Marston picture and not laugh at my fail grayscale/overlay.
This is the reference I used (the face, at least.)
John Marston and Red Dead Redemption are property of Rockstar. Aww Yeeah.

More gestures and update

Here are some more gesture drawings. I used The Drawing Script for these. I spent 3 minutes on each, though I think I could've done better. Knowing I had a set time to work made it difficult to concentrate. So I guess this is what it feels like to work within a deadline. Lucky me, I've never had to do so.
Also, here's an update on the John Marston drawing.
Dunno if I'm gonna leave it grayscale or color it. Also, why am I using grayscale again?

Gallery?

Yep. There's totally a gallery button up there now, so you can easily find all the madness herein contained.
It looks a little messy right now, and that's because I haven't had a chance to set it up all proper like. But in the next few days, I will. It's gonna be all categorized and whatnot. I might even pull some coding from that Web Development class I took in college.
Peace.

John Marston!

This is a WIP. This is only a WIP. I don't draw from reference that much, anymore. I actually find it HARDER nowadays to do so, but the fine people at The Gunslinger's Lament featured one of my sketches (the John Marston-looking one.)
So, I decided to thank them by giving them a proper John Marston drawing. This is where I'm at.
The left picture is the reference picture, the middle on is a traced sketch (I do this sometimes to see how far off course I am) and the right one is my attempt, in which he looks like some kind caveman-monster-fish-thing that I will obviously fix before I can call this 'done'.
