Hey folks :>

Thought I'd share some of my studies, and personal works. I'm going to upload these in near chronological order. I think its interesting to see progression in other artists, so figured I'd do the same for me. This starts around november 2012 I believe.

Feedback is welcome and appreciated!
Enjoy~

Digital Studies. These are from when I first got my tablet and figured out how to use it properly. Probably spent about 3 months prior just trying to get used to it


Following some of Kienan Lafferty's tutorials. These were pure gold as a beginner in both digital and traditional art. Check out his old tuts on youtube








Trying to paint from imagination. It didn't work out so well, I decided to study some photos and try out a different technique


some of The studies i did after the last painting




Aplying study/technique to a painting. This was probably the first painting I was proud of


Applying the techniques to a different creature


After I discovered dave's streams, and tutorials I decided to try some of his techniques


Some Anatomy

Hair and colour


Metal/Armour colour


More colour


Some anatomy studies I did for my pajama man piece and for my frankenstein piece






Done from imagination. Applying studies and so forth


More armour :D


The Pajama man. I made my own reference in Sculptris first. It really helped a ton in getting the anatomy and the angle down


Eyeball study and also trying out some brushes and learning about texturing skin


I've always found blonde hair super difficult to paint properly, so I decided to do a study. This took me so long. Blonde hair is made up of such weird colours :s


Studying whiteness and hard surfaces. Also applying some perspective techniques I had been practicing


Applying some things I learned from the piggy bank (edges and round objects in perspective)


Obligatory skull studies :p Trying to get faster, so i spent about 1 hour and a bit on each iirc





Poses and folds


More Hard edges


And my latest study. some anatomy and colour. Set a time limit for this one, which was about an hour and a half or so. maybe a bit longer


That's all the digital studies that I have kept( and a couple of "finished" pieces) as of yet. I might upload some of my traditional stuff later this week. Thats probably gonna take foreverrrr but it will be worth it :D I will also put up some of more of the finished pieces in the near future or you can just check em out on my DA :)
