Random Anime Artwork

Some Random Anime Sketches

This is an anime character from the series called Naruto. I did some research about the shapes and how to draw the character completely, and finally I started building it. I began constructing the shoulders, and moved  towards the lower body part, leaving the head to be drawn later on. This sketch of Ino took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to do.

Another Naruto sketch, this particular one is my favourite. It was made in charcoal, on an A3 paper size, and the character is Naruto's master. I drew him in this posture strictly because of his past, and story that can be revealed along the way of the series, being the type of person that's completely strict, and doesn't want to do anything wrong. This drawing represents a scene that's inside the series, when he kills a wanted assasin and it starts raining afterwards. The character's name is Kakashi. In order to start the drawing, I did his mask, and part of the hair with the village headband. Afterwards, did the shadows on the hair and continued doing the facial expression, leaving the clothes and ambient as a final touch. The sketch took about 1 hour to be done.

This drawing is from another Naruto series scene, and the character is Naruto's father, one of the leaders of his village. I thought I may draw him in this posture, since he sacrificed himself for the village, and was strong enough to put his son in harm's way by sealing a powerful spirit inside of him. This is the scene where Minato dies, when fighting. I made this drawing starting with the hair, and slowly creating part of his head, leaving the clothes as minor details that have been added towards the end of the drawing. The duration in which this sketch has been done is somewhere about 50 minutes.

Reflective Surfaces and Range of Materials

Reflective Surfaces and Range of Materials

This sketch is made from the course material, the reflective surfaces lab, and it was made using a soft pencil and it took about 20 minutes to be finished. I tried to recreate the materials shown in the slides, using a sphere shape. I also tried to implement some randomness in some of the textures, such as the direction of the lines.

Life Drawing

Life Drawing : Model

This is a drawing of a model I found back in Romania, each sketch took about 14 minutes to be done, which gives a total time of 42 minutes for the full drawing. It was made in charcoal, using a special pencil. I first started by creating the edges, and some shadows, just to reveal the correct, normal shapes of my model. Afterwards, I started adding detail to the sketch, by adding parts of the musculature, and shadows that were located on parts of the body. Finally, I made thicker lines just to make it better looking, and finally reach its ending.

Life Drawing - Poses and Movement

Complete Posture

A life drawing sketch which shows different postures of my model. Each drawing of the model took about 4 minutes to be completed, which resulted in the total duration of the sketch to sum up to about 16-20 minutes.

I started off by drawing the margins with a soft pencil, setting up the posture slowly, and afterwards adding detail to the model and making it look more natural. When the posture was finished, I embossed the lines to make the edges a bit rougher in order to limit the space in which the model is located.

Life Drawing : Movement

A sketch done from the directed study coursework. Every individual sketch has been done in about 40-50 seconds, and the movements were drawn in a local pub. I analysed the people that were playing pool, hanging their clothes, or just sitting and standing. For each of the poses, I first drew a quick line that would define the movement/position in which they were in, so that I could build fast the entire sketch without losing the model's position.

Life Drawings - Dimensions and anathomy

Some quick sketches I've done representing male and female proportions. They were done using a soft pencil and took around 20 mins to do each. I've decided to set up a character in 3 different angles, so that I can study exactly as written on blackboard. I've done the muscles on the male and female body, giving it detail and complexity, making it look more realistic.

This one is a sketch with human bodies, all in the same posture, and one that's turned around. I've made this sketch to accomodate to drawing human proportions. This one is my first sketch at human anathomy and it has been done in approximately 15 minutes. I used a soft pencil to slowly create the shape and after that I started giving it rougher shapes by embossing the lines and separating the muscles with small lines.

Landscape Drawing

 I have finished doing this drawing by using a soft pencil and charcoal. It took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to do it, and it has to offer complexity, detail, and realism, and a little touch of perspective. It uses the rule of thirds, and it the drawing doesn't have the main objective on the middle, which offers the composition good integration.

Landscape drawing , made in 30 minutes, at my country side back home. I used a soft pencil, and looked at some views in order to draw them. The biggest problem I had, was the water, because I never drew water in any of my drawings, so that I didn't need to do the reflections on it. This sketch offers integration, completion, because mostly it is a nature landscape sketch, and some details can be found in it.

Still Life Drawing 2 - Man made forms

Still life drawing of my shoes, completed in 55 minutes. It has been done using a soft pencil. I tried implementing a lot of detail in the drawing, just by doing textures, lights and shaows on it. Although there's not a big range of materials in the textures I used in the drawing, the set-up shows complexity and a touch of perspective on one of the shoes.

Composition and Still Life Drawings

Still life drawing of random objects I found in my kitchen. This drawing took about 25 minutes to complete, and it has lights and shadows, exact proportions as the real objects, and the main object is not in the center of the drawing which makes it look appropriate to the eye.

Another still life drawing, took 10 minutes to complete. I didn't use any real object for this sketch, I imagined the full scene and drew it as real as I could. I did a couple mistakes in the long run, such as the one with the apple and the glass, in my drawing, the apple cuts the glass, although it should have been behind it ..

A composition drawing which took about 35 minutes to do, I tried to combine an anime character with still life objects and pleasant ambient in order to give life to a sketch. My character is a bit to the left of my scene,  so that way it seems to be more appealing to the eye. The character is Rukia , from the anime bleach, in order to draw her I did some research about her shape and ways of sketching her out.
