Some nice stuff you have here! Great work on the still life paintings. Some of your other paintings look a bit too airbrushy/soft (maybe just to me). Needs a bit more edge control. One amazing example that I can think of off the top of my head now is Jaime Jones. (<-- clickable) Check him out!
Man, I gotta say I envy the hell of those anatomy studies, I wish I could get more patience to do all the coloring on the muscles, the results are awesome. I dig your metal studies too, although one crit if you don't mind on the chicken guard it needs a lil bit of specular highlight, the armor looks a tad plastic'y', but if that's what you were going for, spot on!
Shit, and keep posting more anatomy too, love 'em!
Awesome stuff dude, love how you applied the armour studies to the chicken dude and the imaginary moleskine sketches are awesome. Only crit (which isn't really a crit) is the perspective seems a little weird on that second glass study, looks like the bottom part of the glass (closest to us) should be more foreshortened. Although you obviously was studying it for the material, so just ignore what I said, I'm an ass haha.
Archreux Cheers man, glad you like the pencils - here are a few more :) Raz Thanks for crits on the airbrushed look, dude! I definitely took it in mind when doing these still lives, and trying to keep more edges Jaime does. Rafa You're spot on about the armour, dude. I got a paintover crit last week and he mentioned it looked a bit flat too, so I'm reworking it tonight! Will Glad you liked the chicken! You're right about that perspective crit on the glass, someone else mentioned it on facebook too. Keep them crits coming, it's the only way I'll learn haha ;)
Some sketchbooks from imagination, hogarth studies and still lives.
Two photo studies. Not really giving myself enough time with these… Really having a hard time with painting :( I have some anatomy sketches I'll scan in aswell.
No paint studies today, just anatomy updates and a rough screenshot of something I'm working on :)
I'm pretty amazed at the forearm studies and the fact that the Latin names and shapes are actually sticking in my brain, and staying there; just from repeating them again and again and breaking it down into bitesize bits and trying to solve their puzzle. It's exciting when studying starts to pay off, all of this illustration stuff starts to feel achievable.
Silly sketch before bed. Key word was "Language".
Also, I've started using my second monitor and I've realised that my Macbook screen might be super dark :O
I was studying the other side of being an illustrator: being self-employed, keeping accounts, taxes etc. All that fun stuff :| Along with studying for my driving test. So no art study today, here's some Hogarth's from Monday along with a picture of my lovely figure drawing book that I got today! YAY :D
Short on time this evening. Trying to be Richard Schmid ;_; This one seems a lot darker on my Mac screen, which I used for this, than on my second monitor.
