Brian Hermelijn's - Sketchbook

[brianhermelijn]

Seeing that the timeline I posted appears too small, will give 

an update of what has changed for me, 

for both learning and focus. 

---

So when it comes to process, I was struggling 

a lot, because of course I lacked the understanding of how to paint, 

and also how to paint with colors. which is 

seen in the painting above. 

So I let another artist looked at the time-line I previously posted, and  he suggested for 

me to paint with shapes. Because he saw, my strong point, 

where the Graphic Design creations.

And I surely enjoyed that process it a lot more this painting. 

I drew the whole sketch first, and then 

used pen tool to construct

 the flats etc.

I did miss some of the key lights to make things 

pop, as you can see below from a critique I 

received from another artist.

----

But now what I have been focusing, especially for the last 4 to 6 weeks, is

getting back to learning about anatomy and perspective. The current focus

is to draw more dynamically, with an understanding of decent anatomy,

while inventing different "futurism" type of subjects.

Think of Robbie Trevino and 

Thomas Istepyan

The study process that I now use is, to break things down,

even if it means drawing on top of an image with

contours, forms etc.

It has been quite helpful, into seeing

the overall forms of the subject.

And then I try to draw the same

subject on the side, or even

altering its forms 

and shapes.

Here I am trying to invent poses from imagination.

So you can see how I went about it, through

the gif from rough sketch to more fine

drawing I suppose.

As you can see, what I like, is definitely pushing the 

proportions of some of the stuff, and more simpler artists

 like Robie, Thomas and Piotr.

Hopefully this give a better overview of where

I am at, where I am going. I have no intention right now, to work in any particular field.

I am just a dude, cultivating his side passion, especially this year, trying things out

more often from imagination, and progress further with it. 

I do sell products on website like Creativemarket. But nothing groundbreaking.

But I will be moving to Netherlands this year, to continue with Graphic Design

at a school. 

Another thing I will be doing quite often once I move is, going to events

like this  https://weareplaygrounds.nl/ , I think this will give me

more opportunities to connect dots for what I want to do.

I shall now take my leave, and until next time, keep creating and enjoying the

process of creation folks.
