Concept Art - Character Development 02 (Rough sketches) /03

[DragonGuard1337]

Any advice for a beginner?

I'm in my second year of Art School/Graphical Design now but i feel like my drawings and everything is subpar :<

I know i still have 2 and a half year to go before even finishing but still...

@DragonGuard1337 I know its a cliche, but work as hard as you can. Draw and paint every day and the hard work will pay off. Know your goals and never give up your dreams. :)

@artofmarkmolnar oh.. thank you very much. While I have your attention when you do your highlights and shadows in the next section do you use black and white or dodge and burn?

[PrinceOF9Imagination]

I want to be a character designer, what kind of art should I study? Please help T_T

[XxTheStigmaxX]

Holy cow, found your videos today, and I;m really glad found them. Your an awesome artist!

Also, do you use a graphic/drawing tablet? And if so, which one?

I was going to buy one but I'm not sure which one is good.

[artofmarkmolnar]

@XxTheStigmaxX Thank you! I am using a Wacom Intuos4 L in my studio and an Intuos3 a5 wide when I am travelling. I would suggest to go with the Wacom Bamboo line, thats more than ideal to start and they are quite cheap. Its enough to buy a pro tablet when you feel confident with the medium.

Good luck!

[XxTheStigmaxX]

@artofmarkmolnar Thanks for replying so fast. XD

Yeah, I have enough to buy a Intuos4, but lots of people have told me to wait and try something else a bit less expensive, so I will look at the bamboo. I know they are pretty popular and cheaper, so that may be better with the job I have.

man, u sound like Sycra :DD

anyway, good video) liked your work)

[artofmarkmolnar]

@YakushiKabutoChester I am glad you like it. (sorry mate, I have no idea who Sycra is... <:( )

[YakushiKabutoChester]

[artofmarkmolnar]

@YakushiKabutoChester Ooh, okay... I was absolutely flooded with work, so I haven`t got much time to do my own stuff. My summer seems a bit less busy now, so I hope I can pump out some new tutorial vids for your pleasure. :)

[peter92russe]

very good :) nice work ! keep this way and better (if it's possible)!

[artofmarkmolnar]

@peter92russe thanks! I am glad you like it.

OMG, I love your mage (I think) it looks like a mystic african warrior or something! I'm trying this technique out with pencil and pen at the moment

[artofmarkmolnar]

@t260y Thanks! Working with pen or pencil is much harder, so everything will be much easier with all the digital tools after you`ve mastered these traditional mediums.
