AChi's sketchbook~

[RickRichards]

Hey! Love post#170 thumbnail sketches. Keep the good work man.

[AChi]

as in the last week of uni holiday...

i was very frustrated with the line control in PS. Then i tried Autodesk Sketchbook but it's terrible in keybinding system. Tried Painter but it seems to lag too much and i got some problem in displaying image.

Back to PS then.

Love the way you use big brushes to build your shapes dude, inspirational work.

Doing freehand lines on a graphics tablet is a big struggle for me too.  I try to draw from the shoulder but that doesn't work as well as from the wrist or elbow.  Good luck with it anyway Achi.

Keep pushing man.

I am back! was working on this study as my "homework".

In this one I used lasso tool a a lot and limit myself with 5 to 6 brushes.
I tried to look for tutorial on painting ice texture before i started this study, but I could not find anything useful. Then I figure it out in my way.

In my previous studies/painting I didnt used lasso tool as much as this one tho I do understand maybe I should. I usually do not finish the edges clear and after this study I realise that I need to keep the shape clear. I am not good enough to use brush to control the edge yet.

thank you kikindaface,
the small landscapes are photo studies i deliberately paint them in a small scale. The purpose of doin this is to force myself focus on colors and forms, instead of digging into texture/details.

I notice that i usually spend toooooo much time in texture, I'd like to paint more efficiently by doin this practice.

doing a bit of this, a bit of that

The ice looks legit! Like it would just melt if you poured boiling water over it!

Love the costumed figures, too!

[Mirna94]

Wow I'm impressed by your improvement in such a short time!

Do you have a routine? I will definitely try out the 10 poses/5 designs/1 finished piece study.

[AChi]

@Tygerson  thanks!

@Mirna94 I normally do at least one piece per day. depend on how busy the uni and work are. I used to follow that practice pattern you mentioned but not anymore.
