I'm digging that character series you are working on, is that client work? And nice Doctor illustration, you are quite a friend. Only way it could have been improved is if it were the 10th Doctor, amiright?


RE: Elderscrollers Sketchy Stuff - Craig Paton - 10-10-2014

I'm starting to really warm to the 12th Doctor, I think he may turn out to be one of the best ever.

These pencil portrait sketches and studies are pretty awesome, Elder. How do you get such clear and crisp scans/pictures of your pencil work? Mine always look like shit.


RE: Elderscrollers Sketchy Stuff - Elderscroller - 10-11-2014

@pnate: The characters are client work, yes. They are for an indie social media game and are serving as kind of advisors and questgivers (think of the civilization games...)

@Craig Paton: Regarding scans, I actually don´t do much. I have a really old scanner, scan at 300dpi with an unsharpen filter active in the scansoftware and if need be, I adjust the contrast in PS a little with curves or levels

@ both of you: I actually also start to like the 12th doctor more and more (although he can be a little too patronizing), but you are right, pnate, David Tennant is by far the best doctor of all!


I´m sure most of you know William Adolphe Bouguereau. For those who don´t: this guy is the godfather of skintones, the skinmaster, the ultimate skininator... seriously, try to study his work, it´s worth it. He has so many subtleties and color variations going on and as I did a study, to my surprise he doesn´t change hues a lot! In the original from the study below, I first thought, wow, so many greens and blues and purples....no! he used mostly reds, oranges and yellows. The cooler colors all come from desaturated versions of these hues in combination with putting the warmer hues beside them.

Love the Boug study! You really captured the colors well.


RE: Elderscrollers Sketchy Stuff - Elderscroller - 10-13-2014

Some more studies and sketches, this time another Bargue and a living master study of one of Marko Djurdjevics characters (he is brilliant with his characters!) that can be found here:

RE: Elderscrollers Sketchy Stuff - Elderscroller - 10-15-2014

Some more studies/sketches from my sketchbook and a Sargent study







RE: Elderscrollers Sketchy Stuff - Elderscroller - 10-21-2014

Some update with gestures, quick figure studies, anatomy and design studies from the last couple of days. These drawings are not pretty, but through them, the brain starts to understand form, proportions etc.
