Foxflake's sketchbook

[foxflake]

@Warre Thanks a lot man! The jacket-with-guns piece is actually one of the later ones; I felt a lot more comfortable with painting leather by then.

Here is a still-life from life (and from last month):




And some stuff from my real sketchbook (you know, paper...), containing some anatomy and gesture drawings (and some bikes and cats):














At the moment I'm also trying to get some better feeling for colour/ mood/ appeal. This is since I've been doing quite much pencil/pen stuff and as a result I'm kinda behind with the colour in my paintings.
So I'm not only doing more digital (coloured) studies now, but also do some more original "studies", that are focused on colour. I try to concentrate more on general colour/ value and compostion on these, so they're probably not so nicely rendered. If you're wondering about the strange topics, I'm grabbing the word-of-the-day of some online-dictionary; so I have do some (more or less) creative interpretation of it.
I'm also using them to do some experiments with new brushes/ techniques etc, because I recently recognized I'm not really knowing to much of the possibilities of digital painting...(yeah, and I know that's it's not all about brushes.)


So, sorry for blabbering; here are the studies so far, some of them with accompanying sketches:


















So, that's it for now. Any recommendations for improvement are highly welcome!
