Hey everyone, I've returned! It's been forever and I want to start updating my sketchbook here again. I've still been drawing and painting throughout the years. I now want to stay more consistent on here.... again lol. This place has always been special with it's community and mindset. So here are some random sketches and studies from somewhat recent months/years.... idk at this point. Anyways, Glad to be back!
My sketches usually focus on structure/perspective for drawing and brushwork/value/color for painting. A bunch of the studies and sketches are of me trying to understand more of how Ruan Jia paints. I really enjoy his brushwork and colors, so I'm doing some master studies on each of those things to better understand how to apply it to my own work. Other artists I'm also inspired by and trying to learn from are Piotr Jabłoński, Jasper Sandner, Jeremy Geddes, Joel Lagerwall, Sam Carr, and Dave Rapoza. There's probably more artists that I'm not remembering at the moment, but nonetheless I figured I'd mention a bunch to show my inspiration and reference for anyone that likes painterly brushwork / 3D look of rendering in their paintings. It helps me to know the goal of what I'm imagining in my mind for the "final render" to my own work. Hope everyone is doing well!
