René Aigner's Sketchbook

[ReneAigner]

Thanks Suira! I'm also not that big on master copies. I've done a few of Sargent that I really believe helped me with brush economy. A few of other masters as well- I think the important bit is not just to copy mechanically but to pick something specific about the image that you want to learn about- composition, brushwork, colours, whatever. They can be truly beneficial that way.

Every other month I put away my sketchbook, close PS and dig up the tons of video tutorials on Z-Brush that I have on my harddrive. And every time I'm hopeful that this time, I'll stick with it and resist the temptation to do a life painting or something else in 2D. Let's see if I can manage to stick with it this time around. Here's the result of today's Z-Brush studies: Meet Jonathan. He's an alien (I think). But he's a nice bloke.
