Yenchi's Sketchbook - Yenchi - 12-11-2016
Hey folks,
allow me to >>introduce myself<<
Here's what I drew today - some Loomis heads and a study of a filmstill
RE: Yenchi's Sketchbook - Ice Rider - 12-11-2016
Hello Yenchi, it's hard to say something, because these are barely sketches, however your faces have look good and have nice proportions, looking forward to see more
RE: Yenchi's Sketchbook - VoodooMama - 12-12-2016
Very nice studies!
I think the heads look amazing. I love the line quality of them, very confident and delicate.

Oh my what a sad sketchbook thread D:
I really dropped the ball here but let's give it a second try!
So I did some studies of hands
did some character designy stuff - I should do this more often I feel like my visual library is very lacking
got a lot more comfortable with acrylic painting than I've ever been
and here's a beksinski study
aaand a digitial painting I just started - for some reason I really struggle to move ahead in my digital paintings. Ironically I'm much more worried to fuck it up than with traditional paint :/
RE: Yenchi's Sketchbook - The Aether Technician - 04-23-2017
Yeah- I've noticed when I'm working traditionally, I'm more likely to just accept the flaws, whereas when I'm doing digital, I stress out about everything being perfect. Ctr-z is a blessing and a curse.
Really great stuff so far- keep up the awesome work!
RE: Yenchi's Sketchbook - Yenchi - 04-25-2017
@The Aether Technician Muchas gracias! Yeah godamn ctrl+z ...I guess the only cure is too grind it out and get really comfortable with the process of digital painting.
I guess the background is getting a bit to messy now - I also don't like the lack of color
Phil Hale study:

Some new stuff
RE: Yenchi's Sketchbook - Bookend - 04-30-2017
Loving the studies and personal work! Keep charging ahead. I'm really inspired by the way you break down your figures-- who are your favourite influences?

Hey, thanks! I don't know if I have any 'favorite' influences they're always changing tbh. Recently I found myself looking at a lot of comic cover art like Phil Hale, James Jean, Massimo Carnevale and Marko Djurdjevic.
Should do more life drawing I've gotten out of practice.
I started a new painting
and I think I'm done with this one
RE: Yenchi's Sketchbook - Artloader - 05-05-2017
Really nice work here Yenchi :).
I especially love your traditional stuff.
Keep going!
RE: Yenchi's Sketchbook - NoodleInBox - 05-08-2017
Wow your stuff is amazing *.* that last digital painting reminds me a bit of the cover of the dishonored 2 artbook. Love your pencil sketches. I dont know but they have something special. Ach und cool noch jemanden aus Deutschland hier zu sehen :D freu mich schon auf mehr!
RE: Yenchi's Sketchbook - Yenchi - 05-11-2017
@Artloader Thanks man! Trying my best to get my digital stuff up to par right now!
@NoodleInBox Hey Grüß Dich! :D
I just looked at that artbook cover it's a Sergey Kolesov painting, awesome!
So I did a few longer studies recently - I'm not sure if I should be pushing more for quality or for quantity with these studies.
This one was pretty good I think I was more conscious of the way I used different brushes. Should definitely do more environment studies.
a Sargent study
another Phil Hale - love those incredibly dark shadows
some more progress on the traditional painting
and here's the rough start of a new digital painting
RE: Yenchi's Sketchbook - Artloader - 05-11-2017
Awesome, I particularly love the textures on that piece of the old guy with the white beard!
Keep it going fella!
RE: Yenchi's Sketchbook - NoodleInBox - 05-13-2017
Oh man your brushstrokes are so delicious *.* is the traditional one painted with oil? Ach ja und woher kommst du eigentlich, wenn man fragen darf hehe :D
RE: Yenchi's Sketchbook - Yenchi - 05-17-2017
@Artloader thanks, will keep it going :)
@NoodleInBox Thanks, the traditional one is all in acrylics. Und ich komm aus Hessen. :)
I'm happy with how this turned out feels like I'm making some improvements
RE: Yenchi's Sketchbook - NoodleInBox - 05-24-2017
Gaah ich komm nicht drauf klar wie toll deine Sachen aussehen \o.o/ schade Hessen ist ja doch n Stück von Köln entfernt haha. Back to english. Love your brushwork. Keep posting I cant wait to see more *.*
