Kristina is now a FULLTIME freelance illustrator! - updated April 3rd

[Maidith]

Thanks a lot

Update, two speedpaints just for fun and practice. The 1st one is copied from mjranum.deviantart.com (awesome stock images!)



And a practice piece, because painting skin is so much fun.

[Sandmadame]

Oh Mann!

Madith rocks da house.

[Seyreene]

Die Falten in dem Kleid auf letzten Bild sind der Hammer!

[oren90]

those practices looks fantastic

[Gisaiagami]

Nice colors and see great mood in pieces. I like much

[Emil_J.]

Very nice paintings, the skin tones are very good.
The only crit i've got is for the first one. The features of the face looks too small compared the the rest of the body.
(the drapery folds in the last piece are just awesome )

[Jamie Romoser]

beautiful updateds must be so awsome painting from a live model
looking forward to seeing more works and studys
have a good one
till next time
-Jamie

[Maidith]

Sandy und Seyreene, vielen Dank!
Die Falten sind aber so zu 99% von der Referenz/vom Modell übernommen, damit das klar ist

oren, thank you!

Gisa, thanks a lot ^^

Fumble, mange tak yes, that's the danger of using reference photos!

Jamie, thank you!

OK, here's a new figure drawing from Angel school... charcoal on Umbria paper as always.



And a new digital painting. Title:
Diese Stunde wiegt 2000 Jahre schwer ("This hour weighs two thousand years")
Inspired by Subway To Sally's "Maria"; one of my favorite songs.
Models: lockstock.deviantart.com & justmeina.deviantart.com (they're awesome!)



At school I'm working on my first color cast. Hope it'll be finished mid of March...

[Nibras]

Heeeey!
I've not seen your stuff in a loooooooong while! And damn I wish I had more time comment.
It's looking amazing, you've improved so much

Your latest pieces are awessssssome, great mood, great lightening and I always love the stories behind them!

I'll try and keep up with your sketchbook more often, exams are a bitch.
Keepup the great work

[Nele Klumpe]

wow, Kristina, the new painting looks just awesome! The colours are great especially the skintones... like marble O___O

[Marlisa]

Beautiful!

[Janaschi]

Your skintones are getting better and better Maidith! Love the last digital painting. I hope I can get a chance to see you -> LBM! cheers :3

[Seyreene]

Das digitale Bild zum Abschluss deines posts ist so wundervoll romantisch! Man sieht zwar hier und da kleine anatomische Ungereimtheiten, aber bei der Fülle an Körperlichkeit ist das Nebensache. Das Licht und die Atmosphäre sind sehr passend, so sanft!

[Farin]

the last piece has a wonderful sensual feeling. great skintones
congrats to achieving the next level at school .. wich cast will it be?

thx for the deviantart resource links


Beste Grüße aus dem hohen Norden

[Denoir]

wonderful update

I especially love the last piece, it's marvellous

the composition creates such a tender and romantic atmospere, the skintones are gorgeous and I love how the trees throw their shadows on the two of them!!

[Icecold]

Awesome studies, and brilliant colours.

But girl, you have no idea what speedpainting is ^^'
Have a peek: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...&goto=lastpost

Cheers.

[Mr.Alamo, C.]

nice sketchbook,
Andreas

[oren90]

wow your studies look so good how did it aprox. took the charcoal and the painting?

[Monkeydominator]

Wow, that last digital painting look awesome! Haha, I love justmeina, he's such a great model!

Love your life drawings as well, do you block out the shadows first and then erase to get the reflective light, or do you work around it?

[Ariel9]

The last digital painting is so lovely, it has such an atmosphere to it. I could see it hanging in a gallery!
I also love the charcoal study, post more of those, they might be my favourite part of your updates

[Maidith]

lilnebo, thank you Your sketchbook's coming along great, keep on rockin'!

Nele, vielen Dank

Marlisa, thank you ^_^

Jana, vielen Dank! Wir sehen uns bestimmt! Ich bin am 19.3. auf der LBM (da gabs den besten billigflug XD)

Seyreene, vielen Dank =)

Farin, danke which cast it will be? you'll see soon!

Denoir, thank you ;D

Icecold, thanks Speedpainting, for me, is anything that takes less than 2 hours.

Alamo, thanks What, you mean, anatomy is like, hard? Whoa, I didn't know that!!! ... just kidding, haha XD

oren, thank you the charcoal drawing took around 20 hours altogether maybe? the digital painting around the same time.

Monkeydominator, thanks in the charcoal drawings, we draw shadow shapes first and block them out. but for reflective light we erase a bit inside them.

Ariel, mille grazie
