Elaeis's sketchbook

[Eraiasu]

Brilliant sketchbook! I really like those inked sketches :)

[razvanb08]

Nice studies and sketches, good proportions on them.
Keep posting!

[Elaeis]

Eraiasu and Razvan, thanks guys! here's another batch from today:

some scribbles:






a Fragonard study



an awful attempt at a spitpaint (check out the facebook group, awesome artists there!)

[LongJh]

Your linework is mind-bending! Especially on those parrot studies (which I think are done digitally?) very clean and smooth. Actually I think it goes for your brushwork as well, very nice edges.

Awesome scibbles too!

[atrenr]

Ohhh, you got some really nice line works over here. Daaaamn really diggin the mast studies as well. Keep it up <3

[Elaeis]

Thank you guys! warms my little heart :D

LongJh: yup parrot studies were done in photoshop :) thank you!

some more scribbles and quick color studies







another spitpaint, 30min (sorry I'm really bad at those, can't even put colors in -_-')




and more work on the unearthly challenge, I'm thinking of removing the cocoon and make the butterfly door the main thing... and redo the foreground... this is so hard -_-

[Elaeis]

some characters sketches from today, and an update for the unearthly challenge !

[Elaeis]

noah's art camp is starting again! so, some comp studies and a master study:






departures of witches by Luis Ricardo Falero (detail)

[futurespaceghost]

That last one. WOW!! man thats good! I love your style! Keep it up ;)

[wim]

very inspiring work! Thank you, I think I am going to do some more studies now :)

[Elaeis]

it's been a while! Thank you guys so much! Wim I saw your study of Falero, great stuff!

I tired several traditional stuff this week, without success but it's been fun :) here are my blobs ! Spent an afternoon doing watercolors with a friend, bottom left is my very first oil (awful awful XD but I prefer oil to watercolor so far) and the small card at the bottom is a business card, trying to make some for a workshop; each of them with a different drawing :)





and some studies for the artcamp!

[Eraiasu]

Woh! Yummy stuff! How do you like the artcamp? I have considered joining, but I'm not sure yet. :)

[Rognoll]

Whoa! Dem master studies, man! Great job!

[Elaeis]

Thank you!

Eraiasu: I like the artcamp a lot, it's really nice if you want to have a deadline and push your limits :) It really helped me to stay motivated when I was working full time. I'm really slow at imaginative stuff so since this week was about imaginative sketches, I chose to take a sketch I wanted to finish and here's the result:




There are a lot of things that annoy me yet but I decided to move on to others studies and another project; If you have any comment, shoot! It would help a lot :)

I also study anatomy, here are the scribbles but since it's more like personal notes I don't think it reads that well... sorry :/ there are other stuff as well

[Elaeis]
