Study for faces, and a WIP cityscape, my god they are intricate when your this close and not zoomed out. A necessary thing to know how to paint though really.
RE: Damians Sketchbook - deerandfox - 09-28-2012
Been doing face studies and colour studies that i keep forgetting to post before i delete them, but this one is applying what i've learnt so far, screaming faces have always been a problem for me but i feel like im getting the hang of it, as well as using colour. Still so much to learn but at least i can start a character and tell something is improving.

Back study
RE: Damians Sketchbook - kidult - 09-30-2012
nice studies!
RE: Damians Sketchbook - DavidFisher - 09-30-2012
I like the last study keep it up man
RE: Damians Sketchbook - deerandfox - 09-30-2012
20 mins, colour practice
RE: Damians Sketchbook - JacobJanerka - 10-01-2012
Nice enviro's man and making steady progress on characters! Also next time you do a study like the back for example, maybe try get a contrast between hard edges on the focal point and soft edges everywhere else. Anyway though keep it up!

Nice stuff. Really like the WIP at the top of the page, the monk guy. I wouldn't be able to tell you why (sorry, still a rookie with this stuff) But it just feels really lively. There's a real sense of movement which can be hard to get. Love it. :)
RE: Damians Sketchbook - deerandfox - 10-01-2012
Cheers guys, @jacob, yeah man i gotta get a good mix happening. And @Jake, i like adding cloaks and or massive hand gestures and poses rather than static ones, i find characters a little bit boring to do otherwise!
RE: Damians Sketchbook - deerandfox - 10-02-2012
Another colour test one, about 20 mins
RE: Damians Sketchbook - deerandfox - 10-02-2012
Slowly getting there, still not finished, any crits welcome, i want it to get a decent mark!
RE: Damians Sketchbook - deerandfox - 10-06-2012
Two recent studies,
RE: Damians Sketchbook - JakeB - 10-06-2012
The astronaut piece looks great. One thing that kinda jumps out is the blur on the rock at the back. It kinda jumps out as a "motion blur filter" whereas everything else looks quite natural. I dno, just a thought. Apart from that, I love it. Really cool mood, looking forward to seeing the final :)
RE: Damians Sketchbook - deerandfox - 10-07-2012
i can just paint it blurred perhaps, or redo it, hmm i'll have a think about that one, cheers dude!
RE: Damians Sketchbook - Warre - 10-07-2012
Great studies, the astronaut is great
RE: Damians Sketchbook - deerandfox - 10-07-2012
Taking elements of my studies and trying to apply them, at the moment i think his arm is a bit off, and somethings bugging me about his chest. Trying not to over do anything and keep it all full of life, but it really means that every brush stroke counts! Hard to get the hang of.
RE: Damians Sketchbook - deerandfox - 10-08-2012
30 min hand study, deliberately trying to put less brush strokes and more subtle purples and cool greens into shaded areas, it differs from the reference pic but thats kind of what i was after.
RE: Damians Sketchbook - deerandfox - 10-08-2012
Starting a new one today, hopefully it doesnt turn out like a rip off of any Kekai stuff, i always get worried if i try do a massive scale thing. Good practice anyway
Actually coming along a lot nicer than i thought it might, any suggestions?
RE: Damians Sketchbook - CKL - 10-09-2012
That astronaut is dope! Finish that shit!
