Adzerak's book o' sketches

[Adzerak]

Hey there Bjul! Nice tip about the blockiness. A problem I generally have is that I use the same chalky type of brush for the majority of the painting, and it tends to give it sharp edges all around, messing with the flow and contrast. So I guess it could help there as well, blend some more instead of going all aout blockiness. The chunky parts will look all the chunkier if it's contrasted to something less chunky after all xD

The orc is for a friend of mine. Drew lineart first to see if he liked the general look of the charatcer before the values start to fill in. But yea I usually use lines first when it comes to characters at least, but when it comes to those quicker paintings/ones with a broader scope, I tend to want to work zoomed out and with big brushes and just block stuff in.

Hah, Grand magus..well, I remember hearing the song Stone circle back in the day when my ears were usually filled with bands like Rhapsody. Remember not liking it that much, but I guess your recommendation warrants another go at 'em! xD

So that was a long ass reply all right. Here's some moleskine sketchbook things I did on the go, and also two 50 min speedpaints (thanks for linking that group to me there too, Bjulvar!)



from Hundertwasser's exibition in Arken, Denmark. That guy has some cool ideas about incorporating the flow of nature into the blockiness of buildings.






sketched the Nimis structure from southern Sweden. Built by one guy for 35 years by using driftwood. Felt like walking in Blighttown from Dark souls. Check it out. http://caitlinindenmark.files.wordpress....235_o1.jpg
