Transformer sketches

Roughly a year ago I began attempting to draw robots, as all I can draw is people.

Here are my attempts at sketching transformers, all are done using a reference picture, as they are difficult to draw ^^

First up a Prowl sketch

Bumblebee and Cliffjumper......yeah I think I made Cliffjumber too big

The twins, this pic is a little haggered

A scene from All Hail Megatron

and here is Starscream...he is by far the hardest to draw

Feel free to post your own sketches in here if you'd like ^^

They rock! :) Great work!!! :cool:

Very nice hotaru.. My drawing skills are limited to stick figures so don't expect me to post anything any time soon :D

These are fantastic! Well done! Love the pencil'd style too.

Nice use of shading there! :)

I am almost the exact opposite, only being able to draw robots with more accuracy and detail than people (but even then not exceptional).

I like your use of shading, it clearly gives the pictures depth.

I also think your Starscream sketch is the best one there. :)

Thanks guys ^^
sorry for the crappy photo quality, my scanner can't scan A3.

That Starscream one was so hard, I'm so glad it turned out decent.

You've got some skill there Hotaru_oz! :) (I'm guessing TFs frequently found themselves as your subject matter during Art in HS? :D)

I still cant colour inside the lines yet so my own efforts are pretty poor. Great Work- lets see some more!

Those are lovely! Great stuff, keep them coming.

hotaru_oz: May I recommend using art references other than Pat Lee? ;) A lot of the G1 Studio OX stuff is pretty good (highly detailed). The Henkei comic art is also quite good IMO.

Each to their own, Gok. Pat Lee's not everybody's choice of artist for one reason for another but you have to give him kudos for influencing a comeback for Transformer comics.

awesome stuff where are new sketches! :)

Very nice sketches there.

I sketch a little (Not too many get finished as I am my own worst critic and usually scrap a piece when I'm not happy with it). It takes alot of guts to post sketches I think. I'll doubt I'll ever post any of mine as I am scared that no one will like them.:o

Thanks guys, I've been mainly using DVD covers as refrences but I plan on getting some art books down the track.
I haven't had a chance to do anymore sketches as of yet because of work.

Nice sketches!! i never seem to get as far as shading my drawings but heres a couple of mine anyway

This page here i started to design a tattoo with the decepticon symbol and i wanted to put Megatron's head in front of it just for something different

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...3/PA260293.jpg

the page on the left is a lot of rough sketches as i was trying to work out a head that i like for my own TF character with an early transformation and the page on the right is a later style Transformation like what the Stunticon cars have but with the head that i like

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...3/PA260295.jpg

and these two sketches are me trying to design a good sig to use here

Nice sketches Hotaru, loophole. Hotaru i like the Starscream one. Loophole isnt that the custom character you use for your avatar?

Okies I think Ive posted these before, not sure, but here's some of me sketches. I prefer drawing the SDF style though, coz I dont have to worry about size if its SDF style. not good with hands as well..:( Already posted the SDFs so I wont do it here again. These ones I wasnt too sure if I did..

Shockwave shock troops

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...portion034.jpg

Cybertron Starscream

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...portion035.jpg

and one that remains unfinished due to laziness and lack of drive...

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...ianportion.jpg

Liegeprime yep that was my avatar but i am now thinking of redesigning him yet again

Those sketches are awesome dude i wish i could do that btw what are SDFs?

SDF's Super DeFormed. Another term to describe it is Chibi Style. You know big heads, big eyes, cartoony, small body. I used to use the ones I did as my Sig til I saw my current one and changed it.

Erm ok Ill just post it heheheh

Here yah go - decepticon - SDF - I posted the colored versions here when I finished coloring them this year ( yes it took a year to finish - lazy lazy)

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...portion033.jpg

Found the thread
Colored Autobots one and later one is the colored Decepticons ...

Whoa liege, you are excellent when comes to normal TF (non-cutsy too)! Love that Shockwave and his troops pic as well as the Cybertron Starscream!

Wow... hotaru_oz, loophole & liegeprime... very impressive!

starscream looks so happy and non evil. haha

Great sketches guys, all good work.
Love your Starscream liegeprime!

great sketches Liegerprime & Loophole, loving the Cybertron Starscream ^^

Cheers guys! as you can see from the photo date its last year's havent done anything since , been quite lazy, but as I prefer to think of it, no inspiration has struck me yet again :D:D

My excuse is lack of free time lol,
but I have a day off tomorrow so I'll try to attempt something.

I should start posting some of my art here too...

Here's a pic I did a while back (I posted it in another thread somewhere) about the new Fracture figure...

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/k...shershappy.jpg

Oooh I saw this one before indeed, I thought it was funny! :D Nice one Robzy!

I just drew and coloured a pic of Prowl's head (referenced from the issue cover of All Hail Megs), I would post pics but my brother is hogging the PC...so I'll ask Hotaru to post them for me since I emailed her some photos via my mobile.

Yup here they are

Tis good work Genechan

Thanks hotaru for the comment and posting them for me!!! I am very proud of it too, first time drawing a transformer :)

It's great that each of you have your own styles but all of them are instantly recognisable.

I hate people like you people, who have talent! :p

^^

I am going to have another go tonight maybe - after work LOL. Might try and draw Bluestreak....Jazz is hard (no surprise there)

yay Bluestreak ^^
Jazz is hard to draw, he was the first transformer I ever attempted to draw and he took me a week to finish :(

I bought a new sketch book and thought this would be fitting subject for the first page ^^

Sorry it's a little dark, bad photography is bad

EDIT:
Just finished this one this morning, not my best one though. Megatron is really hard to draw.
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b1...z/SANY0805.jpg

That Prime is awesome! :eek: You have some real talent!!

Optimus Slime? ;) :D

Nah, great stuff. :)

That's awesome, Hotaru!
