Devin's Sketchbook

[Bjulvar]

Really inspiring stuff Devin. Even if the pieces appear rough, they seem to have a lot of thought and observation put down behind them! I like all the little hints of hues spread around. It's bold experimentation in exchange for more life in your paintings.
I guess I'd love to see more illustrations and such! If that's what you're into of course :P

[devin]

Thanks Bjulvar. I want to do more illustrations too! I definitely need to practice doing more finished work.

Very painterly made marks. I enjoyed your landscapes and head/facial studies.

I've been working hard on learning perspective fundamentals this week, I don't really have anything interesting to show yet. Here's a few anatomy studies I did in between to target some more of my weaknesses:

Lovin' these studies. Even in a rough form they read so well. Can't wait for your next update.

[devin]

thanks man!!

Only had time for a block in with this one before I completely lost the light:

fantastic brushwork it adds a lot of life to your work, is it all photoshop?

[Kaffer]

Very nice studies!

Great studies man, love what you're doing with your edges. Looks great. Keep it up :) Might be cool to see a little more imaginative work, but that's all. Nice one dude.

[devin]

Thanks guys :D Yup, all photoshop.

Jake, I know I agree haha. In an effort to get more comfortable with it, I've been participating in the spitpainting group on facebook, where there's daily topics and a 30 minute time limit. Having something worth showing in 30 minutes is probably equally out of my comfort zone as spending hours and hours on something so I think they've been good to do. Here's a couple from the past two days:

Death Knight


The Bluest Hair


I posted Dead Sun a few pages back I think.

and here's a couple of WIPs and another hand study:
