Hand-Down
Posted by Otto Robba in Sketches & Studies on 08. Mar, 2010 | No Comments
A group of sketches and studies I did on the subject of, well, hands 
. Used mostly mine for the poses, although some I drew from photographs that were provided in art classes last year. Yes, the title is a silly pun – forgive me!

A Sketchy Subject

A small group of sketches and studies I did based on reference found on magazines and the internet and the Drawing School book.

Character Study
Posted by Otto Robba in Concept Art, Sketches & Studies on 08. Mar, 2010 | No Comments
Creating a character involves a series of steps. You need to research and sketch a lot, from poses to small details. It is just as important to have the character appearing in a pose that tells the public about her as it is important to have her wearing/using gear and apparel that makes sense. I included two pictures which take a look into a tiny part of the process I went through.

This one, the gorgon, was a simply sketch for an idea I had at the time, never went ahead of it and so it stayed like a mere sketch. I went through a lot of snake photographs and ‘deviant’ women before I sketched anything.

The savage is a piece I had actually put up in the site a while ago, as you can see. I went through the Tarzan movies, through photographs of extreme sports, checked Assassin’s Creed and went ahead to do the poses myself, taking photographs to use as a basis. Honestly, quite a bit of research before the final piece was actually done.
MadHatter
Posted by Otto Robba in Sketches & Studies on 30. Jul, 2009 | No Comments
I love Alice in Wonderland. I think it is a masterpiece because very few books can make us think, laugh, smile and so much more in so few pages. It changes the reader and for me that means it is good art. Anyways, in a lazy afternoon I took out a pen and started sketching what I believe to be my version of the MadHatter, a character that always makes me smile. Only loses for the Chesire Cat but then again… who CAN compete with the Chesire cat? Nobody can.

Gambit

One of my favorite X-Men, Gambit manages to be a prick with quite a bit of flair heh. Plus, you can’t go wrong with exploding cards. I mean… c’mon. Exploding. Cards.
