Angel Intheuk - Caricatures and studies + UPDATED April 2013 +

[Dizon]

wow! Looks great! I think this style works great for you as well. Have you tried inking your stuff? I see some cool line work there. Reminds me a bit of Heinrich Kley's lines.

[Angel Intheuk]

Thanks Dizon do you mean inking the etching? I'm reading about different techniques and wouldn't mind trying it out. I had a look at Heinrich Kley I really like his work thanks for the inspiration


Been doing some random portrait sketches this week, some gestures today and ideas for the Gestapo Chow.

Gestapo CHOW

[Angel Intheuk]

Nearly finished...

[Angel Intheuk]

Just got the panther and the chain to do tomorrow. I can't seem to stop but it's 3am, gotta sleep...

[B-zilla]

Hey Ang! Love the updates and the CHOW! She looks pretty damn fierce! Are the glasses staying off? I started on this weeks chow but didn't think I'd finish it because the bf was meant to arrive on thursday. But now, thanks to the ash (grrr!) I've got a lot of time to work on it...

Have you been to any of the life drawing sessions in broomhall yet? I'm in London now, but if I come up over a weekend i'll give you a buzz and we should go together!

[Angel Intheuk]

Hiya Belinda Thanks, enjoyed this weeks got into rendering all the different fabrics, decided to keep the glasses off her, when I painted them on they didn't look good. Sorry to hear your plans are scuppered this weekend, where is he flying from? Interestingly someone pointed out to me though that for the first time in our lifetime there are no vapour trails in the sky.

Here's my final her name is Desdemona not sure why, she looks like one.

[Angel Intheuk]

today's gestures

[Dizon]

What a great idea for a character! Good job.

What I meant about your etching is that it has this inked look to it that I think would suit your stuff.

[Angel Intheuk]

Cheers D...I see what you mean now, sorry got stuck in printing land. I've been itching to do some pen and ink drawings as well as cracking out the old watercolours hmmm I feel a traditional session coming on!

[zou]

hi angel

wow you've been the most active of the group lately (shame on me !)

i'm seeing improvement ! works pays off !

a note about your gestapo entry: i think eyes are too big

[GoGoJojo]

That chow looks great! Love her shoulder pads

[Angel Intheuk]

Hi zou Thanks I didn't notice the eyes, they are too big. I see quite alot wrong with it now, good learning curve.

Thanks Gogo I like her shoulder pads, was pleased with the panther as well.

Did some studies last week. A colour pencil sketch of some leaves I found outside work, the quay near work and a quick study tonight of a friend, the photo was really blurred but it helped me practice drawing from my imagination.

[maeshanne]

nice sketchbook, you can see the improvement since page1

[zou]

keep up dude !

[Angel Intheuk]

Thanks meashanne

zou You too!

Here's some peeps from the What Everyone Looks Like thread

[Angel Intheuk]

Spaz coloured in

[JustinBeckett]

cool, keep up all the studies, they will pay off!

[witcrack]

Wow, a caricature artist. A good one too! Your non-caricatures are lovely too
You're improving much since page one, especially the painting skill. Gotta be a good thread to watch, this one is. Keep it up!

[kojot]

Hey Angel I'm really appreciative that some one visit my skechbook
You have a good studies here keep it up!

I think it's good advice when you make a quick sketches from posesmaniac to changes your medium.

when i make my daily sketches from PM( its to much to upload here )
I make a 4 skeches in 4 series
1.4xcharcoal
2.4xpenicl
3.4xpen
4.4xbrush and ink

I think it's good to don't limit your self in one medium

cheers and keep it up
I hope you understand everything... my Engish sux

[Angel Intheuk]

JustinBeckett Thanks, will do

Thanks Witcrack that's really nice of you to say. Like your sketchbook too, the scarecrow and frog on page one are really cool, nice work

Kojot Thanks very much for visiting too and the advice, I'm going to do some traditional stuff this weekend, I managed to sort out some space in the flat for me to sling some paint so we'll see what I can do.

In the meantime, this is a photoshop colour experiment on Stoph. My pens pressure sensitivity isn't working for some reason so it made colouring in a bit harder but it was a good challenge. Not sure the colourscheme is working though...

[GoGoJojo]

Hi Angel!!! I like this last one, but the sky doesn't seem to pop as much in the last step... you could try taking away some of the darker tone, just my two cents

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Good workings in here mate, keep woorking and reinventing!

-E

[zou]

i like the forms of the two last colored heads !

(try reinstalling the driver for the tablet, or reinstall the software you're using)

[witcrack]

Hey Angela! Nice portrait About the color, the warm and vibrant background color is competing with the foreground image that is also warm and vibrant. I think you have to cool down the backgound to blue or something or alternatively, tune the saturation down. That' ll make the foreground image pops more.

About the pressure sensitivity in photoshop, annoying yeah? it happens to me too occasionally (i use version 10 or CS3 and a wacom bamboo fun small), updating photoshop don't solve the problem either. So, to solve that problem, i close photoshop, open my pen tablet properties, and start photoshop again, if it still not working, restart photoshop over and over again until the pressure is working again (usually around 2 to 5 times restarting).

Don't let the software keeping you from updating, keep up the good work

[Angel Intheuk]

Gogo Hi! Yeah, the last one doesn't pop, I've taken witcracks advice and changed the background to blue. Thanks for your cents

elf Thanks for the support

zou Thanks I did the restarting photoshop thing and it's working now. Grr damn bugs

witcrack Thanks for the advice I changed the background. And thanks for the PS advice too maybe it's a wacom thing, I've got an intuos 4.

So here's stoph with a blue background and some chimps I drew off a BBC documentary.

[SMILEFACE]

HAHA THE Gestapo SPAZ AN STOPH PIX RRRRRRRRRRRRRR HHHHHHHHHOOOOOTTTTTTT AN I RUV THE MONKEYS AN IM GLAD YER DO'N THE DAILY STUDY TOO HAHA AWESOME

[Angel Intheuk]

Thanks Granny glad you like the new stuff. the daily thread is interesting, haven't done any the last couple of days though.

Update Here's the etchings cleaned up, just need to research silver plating...

[Angel Intheuk]

A quick study

and some leveling and adjustment layers

[zou]

the engraving are quite interesting !

about the last figure: nice colors choice, perhaps more rendering would enhance it
