Sci-fi Sketch: Spaceships & UFOs

Today I fancied something different. I've been looking at sci-fi spaceships all afternoon, and eventually chose to have a go at designing my own. I can see I need a lot of practice! I think if I try sketching real submarines, aircraft and ships, it should help a lot with learning to draw similar vehicles. I also think sketching shiny MP3 players, CD Walkmans, etc. would also be good practice. They are made of shiny metal in futuristic styles, and may inspire me to do new and exciting spaceships.

Landscape Practice

After yesterday's abysmal landscape, I decided to spend today's sketch time on trying to improve my landscape skills. So today I worked on my grass, and a tree sketching. I think my grass is looking quite good in the end, I do need practice putting it in a scene and making it look real. At least that's the idea! I'm also hoping to improve my trees, these are a start.

An Abysmal Landscape!

Today I think I have relearnt how much I need to work on my landscape drawing! I know my landscapes aren't usually the most detailed, and now I think I can see why! I tend to shade the grassy areas smooth, I don't think I am good at adding the detail yet. This sketch is approximately 4 x 3 inches, done with a blunt 2B pencil and a B pencil. I really need to practice my grass and trees!

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!

Sketch #6 Sea Serpent

Today I nearly ran out of time in the day, I literally sketched this in 15 minutes before I went to bed! It's a small sea serpent inspired from a childrens drawing book. Drawn with less details to make it quicker to do, but I did enjoy adding the pattern and changing the shading for under the water and above it. A fun sketch.
