DAyum, that last portrait is so cool - i love the soft tones and brushes! Great to see that you are working real hard. May i ask, do you still find it useful to do line work practice on a daily basis or do you exclusively work with form only these days?
@Smrr: haha thank you <3 I'm trying. It's still a bit awkward, but it's better :)
@Kimonas: thanks man <3 Yeah, actually, I DO use lines and I had just made the decision to go back to pencil for sketches - and give digital sketching a rest. (which gave me trouble because I'm on the middle of a huge client project and my scanner just died). I love lines and they are a bit less awkward when done traditionally, so I'm going to investigate with that helps in the end.
Here is a quick sketch, sort of a study of how Mike Azevedo works:
That is some sexy yellow background right there. If I may offer a small critique, I don't, however, think the violet/indigo should be so saturated. It might look more atmospheric if it was just a touch duller (if the yellow ambient light affected the rest of the colours, not just the backlit areas)
@Patrick: thanks man! Fixed it on the original post :)
Here is today's soul-searching thingy
:)
Freelance work I am free to preview.
A bunch more to go~ Then color!
Woah woah wooahh
This freelance work looks like its from freaking Skyrim!
Sick stuff so far, looking forward to more updates of it :)
That's an awesome sketches Sula! will we see that stuff in color?
The soul-searching thingy is pretty cool ! I really like the colours and lighting :)
@Smrr: :hug: thank you :D I'm having so fun studying all the different subjects. Today it was snakes, made me want to draw dragons haha
@Caisne: Thanks bro! I'm not sure when I'll be able to post those, but if I know the author he won't take long before previewing thing. So March-ish? I still have a bunch to go, so it's going to be a full ride until June, actually :)
@Maggie: thank you <3
A bit of sketching to unload after work, listening to that Joseh Campbell video Amitt linked.
Still trying to be more artful with value decisions.
Lots of great experimentation and varied work, very nice.
Very nice things here, inspiring.
@Pindursky: thanks man :D
@Warre: thanks <3
Hope you guys don't mind I keep dropping my sketches here.
My studies are all traditional, and meh.. scanning :p
Fem!Loki looks very sexy~ as do all those pencil drawings! I see some running bacons!
Juicy stuff as always :) Excited to see that freelance work! How dare you tease us.
Ooh what a tease! So curious to see more of that client work!
I don’t think anyone will ever mind you dropping anything here, haha :) I feel like you’re really getting a grip on your edge work now - getting a nice mix of strokes and crispness in your work.
@Meat: haha yep! Angry bacon painting incoming :p
@Pnate: :hug: thanks bro!
@Lyraina: <3 Yay! Thank you!
Here is today's study that turned into something else.
I ended up testing how far I can push it out of the direct ref without it breaking.
I'm a bit worried about being too airbrushy, but I like the effect in the end.
Ahh I love your thread. It's always so inspiring. And you keep improving all the time. Great!
Really like your use of light on the throne piece!
@Tamaira: <3 Thank you!
Likeness is hard :<
I like that last landscape you got there in the lastest post, feelin the "less is more", also with that grainy texture almost looks like it was traditional.
