[Image: scan0007.jpg]

and a part of a new personal painting I started, trying to give more sense to my senseless paintings :D
I learned so muuch from it so far , I can't wait to see it finished ( hope I do't ruin it in the process...)

RE: Othrandir's sketchbook - Othrandir - 01-16-2013

haven't slept yeey :D
Here's what I was doing through the night.
finished the dragon thing (came out waay too contrasty as always...damn.)
Although , I am not extremely happy with the painting , it felt like a huge leap forward.One of the most obvious things for me was that I started painting without zooming in all the time.Most of the time I was far away , which was extremely hard for me.

the sketch I did beforehand

close-ups

[Image: dragon+copy_2.jpg]

RE: Othrandir's sketchbook - Othrandir - 01-20-2013

Yey! Today was a really produvtive day, even though I got up at like 9:30 am and didn't start working 'till 11 'o clock.I managed to take out a big out of my commission stuffs and as a reward I did a lot of studies and experiments.

started with three 20 min still lifes to warm up ( I had to make up most of the lighting , since it was a creepily gloomy morning...everything greeey :D ) , not sure about the headphones , maybe I'll blow itout into a more detailed thing , but I haven't decided yet.Probably gonna leave it like that.

[Image: 14.jpg]

so here's the sketchbook stuff - hands , faces and poses - some of them from reference , most of them from mind

I tried a new style of studying - doing the preliminary sketch and colors from photo reference , and after the basics are down go your own way.It's really fun!
Experimenting with textures and going for color

[Image: 47.jpg]

I went through Bumskee's sketchbook again ( I'll never get tired of it :O ) and I decided to try and do one of these.Great practice.

[Image: 39.jpg]



and a 1 hr sketch to let some steam out.Trying to put some texture in my work for a change.I've always been working with mostly the hard round brush and always smoothing things over.Figured I was missing out on something and I waaaaas :O Everything today I did with almost no zooming in and it feels GREAT! :D

RE: Othrandir's sketchbook - Othrandir - 01-21-2013

So today wasn't nearly as productive as yesterday.Suuper depressing day...nothing came out nice and I had zero excitement while drawing...anyway

RE: Othrandir's sketchbook - Othrandir - 01-28-2013

yey , I've got a tumblr now - http://www.othrandir.tumblr.com be sure to follow me, I want dem stalkers :D

here's some pumpkins through the ages

[Image: koko+copy.jpg]

a friend drew me one of these -> :3 <- , but sort of made it like a bear, so I played around with it a bit.We called it care-gollum, because it looks creepy but he cares
I'm experimenting with the smudge tool.This was mostly done by putting down color with a brush with no opacity dynamics and then spreading with the smudge tool with a scatter brush.

[Image: 188.jpg]

and here's some sketches

RE: Othrandir's sketchbook - Othrandir - 02-03-2013

Okay, well at first it was supposed to be a speed painting of a flying chick in a random background, but i kinda got way into the background...so yeah

It was pointed out to me that it looked a bit like Noah Bradley's painting, that was not my intention at all , I didn't even think of it that way until someone told me.

anyway, it took about 3-4 hours, I hope you like it

3) took it to get laminated and voila!
