Yesterday's stuff

Studies - Trying to work really methodically, thinking about the light. Painting shadows, then light areas, then highlights etc

Portrait Sketch
[Image: portraitsketch21stAprilcopy.jpg]

Terrible study, couldnt concentrate for some reason.
[Image: Untitled-1copy.jpg]

And a portrait. Hope I got the likeness close enough? Gonna try and do more portraits of famous people, hopefully it'll force me to be more accurate. That being said, this isn't super close to the reference. Working on capturing a sense of light again, and surfing the fine line between a study and a painting I guess. basically, it's just a fairy inaccurate study lol ;)
Either way, it was awesome fun, and I learned a ton

Think you can kind of see what I'm talking about with my lighting process here.
Block in, add shadow, and light areas. Refine Shadows, refine light, add bounce light, add occlusion shadows, add speculars. :)

RE: Jake Bullock - 10000 Hour Rule - 1762/10,000 - Lumens - 04-23-2013

I like your brush economy, seems very deliberate.
Simplefyng works well for you! I've been watching a nathan fowkes portrait download
and he stresses getting the simple essence of the forms and repeatedly mentions the importance of squinting your eyes to see the simple masses of light and shadow without distracting details.

He also changed some elements like a lowering the position of a necklace, locks of hair and drapery was designed to all better serve the composition. had he copied exactly what he saw the piece wouldn't be so pleasing to the eye.
keep it up!

RE: Jake Bullock - 10000 Hour Rule - 1762/10,000 - JonHop - 04-24-2013

Hey man, you're making great improvements your character designs and illustrations have come on a ton! Plus your personal style is beginning to show through more, with your edges and brush work which I like a lot, keep pushing dude.

RE: Jake Bullock - 10000 Hour Rule - 1775/10,000 - JakeB - 04-26-2013

Lumens - Cheers man, yeah, it's pretty satisifying when it works, still working on it though :) I'll have to check that video out. Thanks :)

JonHop - Cheers man, I'll try :)

Recent stuff, just finished up an illustration I've been working on for a couple days.
Focusing on composition, and being a bit more adventurous. There's some stuff wrong with it, but time to move on I think. Let me know what you guys think :)

RE: Jake Bullock - 10000 Hour Rule - 1775/10,000 - Warburton - 04-27-2013

Let me know what you guys think :)

ok, heres what i think. THIS LATEST PIECE IS FUCKING AWESOME! gotta love that comp

It's been a while since i last dropped by but i'm pretty shocked by your developments. Flicking through the last few pages combined with this song

pure epicness :p

gettin me all fired up to start destroying the studies again like yourself. Last year around this time i was up super early, doin loads of studies, but slowly ive found myself getting less done and focusing more on imagination stuff and not studies. This was just what i needed, thanks ;p

oh, and one more thing, ass pats don't inspire work ethic so show us moooooooore and keep going!

RE: Jake Bullock - 10000 Hour Rule - 1775/10,000 - Ursula Dorada - 04-27-2013

The portrait studies look awsome, i love how you simplified the planes, and the ilustration looks great,maybe you could push a little more the rendering on the clouds in the backgorund.
