Algenpfleger learns to draw (He really does!) December 2012, what is this?

[AsaB]

Beautiful update man! Oh damn, that last painting is looking gooood, I wanna see it finished!

I checked the website of your school. I'm guessing you got into the "Painting/Graphics" (Malerei/Grafik) division? Seems intriguing enough! Oooh, you're going to have so much fun! I envy you loads!

[Demo]

Dude i sent you a PM send me a message back when youve thought about it a little. it would help me loads.

[Rushlord]

The only thing that is crap are the comments on your own work. The rest is just perfect. Keep it up.

[Moski]

Man you are so young and so good!!!! like your colour so much, and the atmosphere is always so natural

[Juhani Jokinen]

Awesome updates mate! Really diggin' those multi-limb sketches.

Keep on posting! More MORE!

[Ghostbrush]

[Janaschi]

*___________*

If I would'nt like you so much I would probably hate you for being too good D: No seriously, that update is awesome!
It makes me feel so lazy and bad that I haven't done much yesterday.
Please finish the cg!!! Or you wont get any NougatPockets when you visit me!
The colorstudies! you rock~

AuaaaaAAAAH BÄM! *giggle*

[Verehin]

thanks for what you do..very inspairing!

[Pseudocognition]

Oh man I nearly shit myself laughing at the spank doodle. Not good since I'm in class >_<; but hell. Delicious as always!

[D@niel]

Woooohoo!!....yup, thats sound I made when I saw your update Rock on man

[DoubleThink]

I love that color study in Sai.

I'm sure it'll all pay off :-)
Don't forget your traditional paints either, they can be pretty satisfactory aswell + I bet the people in Leipzich would prefer to see traditionals to digitals.

It's all about the fun of drawing, make sure you have it :-)

Very nice, my friend. how about not overlapping the limbs and figures?
(ich hab' realisiert dass man so mehr fehler entdeckt).
peace,

[Quike Garcia]

Whoa.. this last upload is great I really like the solid colours approach I'll have to try meself

[Seyreene]

The WIP you showed us has potential! I don't like those orange-pink colour blobs in the background, but the girl with her face looks so nice. So sad... I imagine her beeing left by her lover. Or maybe he just died?

For the full opacity studies, I like the Steckdosen-thing the most. At first glance I thought it was a futuristic space pyramide...

Finally, ahh ive finally got through this huge sketchbook, been going at it for a few days now, about 30 pages a day. I just wanna say thankyou for sharing this with everyone, your a huge inspiration for many artists here including myself. I now know how much work i have to put in if i want to improve. Absolutely awesome sketchbook, collabs with jana are jaw dropping. keep at it and have fun at art school, I cant wait to come back in another 100 pages. Im gonna turn the internet off now so i can go draw, otherwise Ill find another awesome thread ill get hooked into. seeya

[courtyard]

Congratulations! They're lucky to have you. Those pencils sketches, particularly the females with twisting torsos, are full of life and movement. Awesome discipline with the painting exercises, too...

[clanlord]

Hello sir!

There is noone so dedicated than you with drawing human bodies... it is a real challange... damn I must start doing more studies like these!

So I want to give you two crits! They are from my own observation of your figures the first one is about the lines, there are so much lines (yeah they are so interesting too look at but some ot them are just unduly)... try to decrease the amount of unnecessary lines... make the drawings more understandable! The second is about the leg of one guy, it looks to me funny and not real!

Taka care my friend and don't get lazy tonight

[sketcheth]

beautiful work, so very inspiring...so very inspiring. I'm loving the figures, the new painting method is a very admirable pursuit! Keep it going, I'm sure you'll learn tons!

[Icecold]

Simply amazing, for sure you will be in the hall of fame someday

Hope i will get to your lvl in the future ^^

Good work in this sketchbook! I'm impressed.

I love the quality and confidence of your strokes in your paintings, as well as your colors and overall I love your sense of lighting.

Excellent book. Voted 5 stars

[Infinit]

gratz zur erfolgreichen bewerbung!

gute idee mit der opacity, muss ich auch mal ausprobieren

[Tigermilk]

damn man.

[algenpfleger]

Huah, thanks for all the kind replies and the critique, much appreciated!
I've been... drawing, I guess... trying to learn form and structure, been struggling with Loomis and Bridgman and such... also been talking to Alex and Jana a lot, but their skill won't quite rub off on me...blah, I don't have much to show, so just a quick dump D:



Got bored of this one, not gonna work on it any more D:


Some doodles from head...




Color studies...



Pages from that sketchbook project with Jana :3 She's so cool!



And a quick digi... trying to play with what I learned, humm not exactly successful but I learned a few things... I hope...

[Victor B]

looking good ,keep at it.

[Eerin]

Awesome update! I can really see the translucence of the light as it hits the skin. There's some gorgeous color bouncing going on. Keep up the amazing work!

[SamC]

Awesome Some of the torsos feel rather stretched, pushing the hips and groin further down than they need by. Try and remember head measurements sometimes, even if it is only a quick check. Awesome awesome awesome work
