[Othrandir]

Lumens - heh thanks man , the duck is alive :)

atrenr - Thank you! sorry , I got my comments , I'm satisfied and i don't need to kill the duck today :)
there's still a time when the duck might die...it all depends on you guys! :D
I'm just kidding , I would like some critiques though :P




Just did a portrait of my uncle for his 50th birthday. I hope he likes it :D

[Othrandir]

forgot to include this :D

while i was painting the portrait , i noticed it looked a bit like jesus , so i put a halo in :D

[Othrandir]

ok



so here's some pencil doodles ( no ref anywhere)









some creature 30 mins sketch




blah...retarded...

[Othrandir]

leeeeeeeeeeegs

[Jonesoda]

I really dig your sketchbook drawings Man, and nice work on targeting legs, I ought to do more targeted studies.

Keep at it dude.

[Othrandir]

Jonesoda - Thanks , man! and yeah , these are great , you can really feel it afterwards when doing a full pose.I think pretty much practicing everything is essential.What i mean is do a lot of legs , a lot of arms , a lot of faces and heads , a lot of hands etc and then (or in the mean time ) do a SHITLOAD of full body poses to absolutely understand and get used to how they all act and react with each other :)




tried some pen on my crappy sketchbook...seems like the only reasonable thing to do , side of throwing it away




started a still life , so far just an hour on it , the light changed too fast.Tomorrow I'll start working on it earlier



some more legs , male this time...so much penises :| . . .

couldn't even do a whole page :D



30 min doodle to release stress :D bigshot lizard :D




I'll do more stuffs tomorrow!!!

[Othrandir]

so i finished that still life today :P added coffee to make it more realistic :D




aand a couple of bust studies :P...need to get my anatomy dooooooown.. :\

[Zesiul]

DAMNNNN, you fucking kick ass. I need to step it up if gents like you are around!

[Othrandir]

Zeisul - Heh ,thanks buddy :)




I guess I wasn't done with painting for today haha here's some more stuff i did later in the day after the last post

pen sketches of my hands :P ( so much different with a pen :O I feel like it's essential to spend some time with a pencil before jumping into clear pen)





two 30 min portraits from Hel Look photos , I really suck at these , tomorrow I'm going to have to do a bunch of those...damn faces...





and an unfinished study from lovecastle

[Jonesoda]

Killin' it man, that still life looks damned great, especially that coffee! I like those 30 minute portraits too, idk why but I like stuff like that where its kind of rough and you can still see some brush strokes.

[Othrandir]

Thanks , man! Yeah , I like that too , although I wish I could do more in 30 mins than rough brush strokes :\ I need to practice so much more :\




booring pooooost :D

just some hands and hands :D
all in pen , some frome life , some from photos , some from bumskee , some from algenpfleger...
