René Aigner's Sketchbook

Here's something very different for a change. This is a funky car/carriage hybrid I painted for an unannounced project.



I also recorded the painting process! Here's the youtube link (sped up process vid with some music): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syiRRT7X...e=youtu.be

thanks!



I've recently acquired a wacom companion. I work on a cintiq 24 at home, so I had great expectations of the companion. So far, it hasn't disappointed. It's very responsive, PS runs smoothly and the screen is awesome as well. The only thing that is getting on my nerves is the missing touchwheel. I change brushsizes often and rapidly, so I end up clicking the rocker wheel almost incessantly. I'll get used to it. Here's a quick life study I painted on the companion. It's great not to be tethered to the desk/ places I can put my laptop anymore!

the second is nice i like how you do the wood, it's very pleasing colors :)

Whoa killing it as usual Rene o_____o !

And yeah I feel you with the Companion, the touch wheel gets to me as well as well as it's crappy, flimsy stand uuuughh

[ReneAigner]

Thanks Fedodika!

smrrfette: this morning a solution to the touch wheel conundrum was proposed to me. It's about the alternative way of scaling your brush, holding Alt and then rght clicking and dragging to increase and decease brush size dynamically. I had mapped the right rocker button to alt anyways for colour picking and re-mapped one of the pen buttons to right click. What can I say, it's amazeballs compared to clicking a thousand times a minute on those damn rocker ring buttons. You should try it, it takes a little getting used to, but it is such an improvement... and the rocker ring buttons are freed up for other stuff.

those rock studies are soo juicy! Do you start with an underpainting in these or add the color vibrancy along the way?
I dunno if you are planning to go on with your personal piece, if you accept a humble critique, I might try putting some extreme foreground elements in there, both for compositional reasons and for helping to give it depth.. it has such awesome textures in it, but I feel it flattens it a bit too.. sorry if my crit is out of place, I don't mean to be rude :)
Your lighting study also kicks ass, that wood tile texture is just gorgeous..

Sweet brushwork on those studies! The work overall is humbling.

[ReneAigner]

thanks kaffer! your crit is spot on. I usually dont change old pieces though because I'm a lazy idiot :D
Thanks iCi!
