Bjulvar's Sketchbook

Hey thank you Tristan!
Yes that sounds about right. Are you just talking about a better foundation before I start painting or an overall improvement?

Ah yeah I've thought the same thing! I own Vilppu's drawing manual but it was a while ago since I studied from it. But they compliment each other really well. Will definitely try and study them both in tandem.

Looked into Gotland before, sadly I've heard a lot of bad and worrying things about that school. But looking forward to starting in Malmö, it's going to kick my butt. Have to stay on track with painting too :)
Thanks for the luck, means a lot! :D


I've been away from a couple of days. Continued painting on a larger piece for some event in town. I have never done anything in this scale before so that was a challenge. Hardly notice smaller mistakes. Plus the place I worked in got as hot as damn sauna! :P
Fun though, got a bit better at acrylics and it seems that digital painting helps out traditional, who would have thought.
Here's a mannequin(?) of the lion in the piece, done with cheap clay. Also including WiPs for fun and the final of course.








Sketch from my mobile phone. It's not done in the bathroom I swear.



While away I stayed at my girlfriends apartment. So worked on her laptop, it's not the best when it comes to color and contrast, so these pictures might look wonky. Haven't used an intuos before either.











Checked out some videos for sword fighting gestures. I recomend this.



Orcs, orcs and orcs



I had a major headache.





Kobold alchemiist, bit stale but also fun to paint





randomy crappy gestures, showing them anyway
