Sketch Book

Hello all.



Im posting to to start my sketch book, i am going to try and do at least 1 sketch everyday along with some study to improve my drawing -> painting (yet to purchase a tablet).



Im currently studying architecture but a more fantastical liberal working environment of illustration and concept art seems alot more exciting. But the goal is to see if i can improve to a stage where i have a decent folio and confidence in understanding of form, dynamism, colour theory and one of my biggest interest lighting and shading. (Biggest interest might not be the right phrase - maybe biggest most daunting task to one day understand and replicate.)



I have received some advice previously from the generous Sumeans frequenting the forums as to what are good places to start: the loomis books, life drawing and i have over the past 2 years caught glimpses of some of the gnomon workshop dvd's on concept art and environment sketching.



Maybe thats enough rambling to begin with, i have made a post and now there is documented evidence of my commitment (cant turn back now).



Heres hoping i can do something to even half the degree that EtaCarinae managed to do and you might see some improvement in me along the way.



Regards

while studying architecture i kept drawing implements and sketch book on hand perminantly and would draw while waiting on public transport/ in library looking at reference or when when looking at buildings. not carefull/pretty drawings, but records of form and concept....



ended up with over 30 sketch books fool of little drawings, was quite a useful habit for a while (as a programmer now, just have not pads filled with class interfaces and dance choreographies, but life is change)



if you miss a day, don't give up

Cool, looking forward to seeing how you progress! There have been a few sketchbooks on here which has been a pleasure to follow. Particularly when you can see improvements and progress made over time.
