[Othrandir]

I bought the Scott Robertson book "How to draw". That's what those lines and circles are all about :D

More sketchbook stuff. Currently trying desperately to find commissions, cause of...well...rent, so if anyone is in need of some art for their project, know that I am REALLY OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS :))

In the mean time, some more sketchbook pages, these are kind of old now, I guess

[Othrandir]

Slowly getting back into doing studies. I missed doing them so much!

One more photo study I haven't done full figure ones in a looong time. I think these will help me a lot with proportions

[Othrandir]

Photo study, trying to be a bit looser with my strokes and to think a bit more about light and color. I'm still making a lot of mistakes with the human body and perspective. It's pretty frustrating :D Gotta do more work!! :O

[Othrandir]

Photo study...somehow, these are getting harder...

Really amazing. You have such confident lines. Mine are always wobbling and uncontrollable, lol. Keep up the excellent studies and work. Keep this up. I think you should be making money off of this right NOW. haha.

[Othrandir]

Bookend - Thanks man! Yeah, money sounds good right about now XD

Wow, that's some very well defined traditional work! Great job on the still life as well, you've captured the light reflections well.

[Othrandir]

StardustLava - Thank you! Trying my best to get better :) (well maybe not my best, damn it should be my best...double damn...)


Hawk study for a possible upcoming illustration, we'll see how it goes :D

[Bookend]

Awesome! Really great. Especially the still life-- Very impressed, man. Just keep up this pace. It's madness. It's greatness. Go forth! Multiply images!

[Othrandir]

Bookend - Thank you! Love the enthusiasm! Also love your name!! :)

Another still life painting.

The shapes on the highlights were very difficult for me and I don't think they came out right. I just need to do more of these :)

[Bookend]

It looks minorly jaggedy, but not much else to say-- Practice makes permanent, so practice and get 'er done!

[Othrandir]

Bookend - I absolutely agree. I didn't like the outcome of that one. Practice is on the menu though, and I'M HUNGRY :D


Streaming for about an hour and a half in 5 mins! Listening to classic rock this time.
