hi everyone!

I have a blog for some time now and now I need a sketchbook.
I like experimenting a lot with shape and form at the moment. And I have been doing mostly value studies.
So I should really start doing some more color & light studies...

Here are some sketches from the last couple of days, Feel free to check out my blog for older work http://mindschnapps.blogspot.be/

Thanks for visiting my sketchbook and come back soon :)

"oldies" first, this one is from Self portrait day (so this is me) changed the lighting a little and I would like to work on this some more, so... wip

Hey dude, nice work ! For the last piece, everything is about he same grey ! Try to play with local values a bit ( hair darker and backgrounder lighter is a possibility ! Also put a bit more contrast on your face, and think about the mouthline, eyrs and nose dots really dark !! Keep it up !

I saw someone on this forum had done a beautiful study of Luis Ricardo Falero. So I looked him up and I was impressed with this radiant beauty the models in his paintings have. So I decided to do a master study of bedouin girl trying to capture a little of that beauty.

so I realise now I was approaching my master studies completely wrong. Switched to doing more ugly little quick studies for now, focusing on value first and adding some color after, limiting myself to a few key values. I Also made an alien observer type droid, started in zbrush followed by a paintover in ps. And I started on my first oil-painting, needs a looot more work as you can see. crits and tips are welcome

a forbidden planet study

my first oil painting is finished, yey, allthough the photo messes up all the details. I learned a lot from it, and I think it is best to move on now and start something new

this one started from a speedsculpt with the predefined theme 'lucifer's head chef'
