NSS: Animated Sketch / HMA: Justice (Old Mod-file by Evert en Hela)

[xXVampireKiraXx]

dude this is really awesome. i am a highschool student and i want to design game environments but im not so good at drawing but i did take an art class but we did not really focus so much on environments as i hoped. Any tips for an Amateur or where i should go to look for ideas on how to learn preferably nature such as trees ;]

[MrPippify]

Simply stunning marker work there! Thank you for bringing the inspiration to us all!

[JuStAnAsIaNboY]

What marker did you used to have a very light dark ?

[nisusCGA]

I used a 10% Marker, next a 30% one, than a 50% one

[ssptg]

That first one reminds me of a Vermeer landscape somewhere, very inspiring to see the process hehe

[Sy7her]

Really looks fantastic! Im a game design student and concept art is probably my favourite part, although I specialise in characters, do you have any tips or good places to look if I were to teach myself environment creation?

[nisusCGA]

Hi. Tnx for your kind words. The best place to look for training dvds is the traditional drawing section at the Gnomon Workshop ,-)) Just google it and you'll find links...

Hi NisusCGA: why I could tell.. Its just my guess.. when I see your foresight on scene or how you envision it.. i just felt the deeper art in it :). maybe because I'm an Architect also. I'll be looking forward for your future post. Cheers!

[nisusCGA]

I see. Artists have a trained eye. Architects are all about perspective. So I guess that's how you spotted... Great! ,-)

[onzki]

hi! great sketch and visualization.. i do sketches too but only with single pen : ).After seeing your video, I'm inspired to try marker shading as well. great job again!. by the way, are you an Architect?

[nisusCGA]

Hi Onzki,

Tnx for your comments. I do most of my sketches line-based, not in values (like markers). These animations are my first good tries. It's hard to get a feel for the tones imho, so that's why I'm still learning this technique...

And yeah, I'm an architect... How could you tell?

[Alec3d]

what are you using, looks like a swiss-army pen :P

[nisusCGA]

Haha, lol... nope... Just several markers: A 10% and 30% marker, and a small/fine black pen... More recently I use also a fine, medium and brush black pen... saves some time...

[McKnight121]

Wow really nice done!

[nisusCGA]

Tnx. Btw, it's nice to get positive comments ,-)

[Clairvoyant23]

Hay Nisus, I love to draw but im am kinda new to it. Do you know any site I can go to or anything I can do to help myself. Pretty much any advice would help. Thanks

[pachecojake]

Awesome work Nisus!

[nisusCGA]

Tnx ,-)

[zazieke]

Wow... You're like a magician...

I've stopped drawing for a while because I leaked inspiration.

But because of your video you gave me back inspiration to draw again.

Thanks a million!

ps hope to see more videos from you

[nisusCGA]

I'm really glad you got back to drawing again because of my video.

Drawing is fun, but giving inspiration to others is just marvellous ,-))

Tnx for your kind words.

[timsnapcase]

Really good, love to see more

[punkrocker2122]

too good to be true..

man u r very talented..

i wish i was just like you...

[nisusCGA]

Tnx. I would say: practise a lot ,-)

Although I must confess I hardly got the time to sketch a lot I manage to fill a little sketchbook every month. Once you get used to using every bit of 'in-between' time for some scribblings, it'll pay off soon. Just got too make it a habbit to sketch everywhere: while you wait for a coffee or for a train, during the afternoon break.

[nisusCGA]

A sketch doesn't have to take more than 5-10 minutes, frequent practise is necessary though. It's a lot better than sketching several hours once A month ,-)

I hope to be able to post more vids like this during the Xmas break ,-))

Da zijn gewoon piemels en tetten....

[MojoIglesias]

Sommige gebouwen lijken wel op piemels. Voor de rest, chapeau!
