Great stuff those pencils of the birds and the bouguereau study look sweet.

okay this batch is a bit boring.. only studies nothing special


some pencil studies. arms from life..



from ref



and movie still´s









A really quick still tried to get below 10 min, but the result is.. not my best

[alexson]

Nice man! You are really killing it!

[Seraph Fawkes]

Nice pencils in previous update, but what I really like is movie stills! You're nailing ref.work, just don't forget to carry out knowledge, and apply it to imaginative work.

[Wr00m]

Looks like you're learning alot from the stills. love your color style!

[DK_sketch]

@alexson:Thanks alot

@Seraph Fawkes: Thanks mate, here is some applied knowledge

@Wr00m: Thanks man, and yeah I learn tons from still´s great way to learn how colors behave

A tiny update

[Greywoods]

Such nice colors. I think in you latest update that you should add even more depth. Make the foreground (the heads, helmets) pop a bit more. As always, I just loove your studies.

[Seraph Fawkes]

Great colors, but to be honest - I don't understand proportions. I mean girl in slave stocks - what is behind her? People in foreground look small comparing to her.

[Jasper_]

Hey man you've got some really nice studies in here. I've just started doing movie still as well. You can find so much better reference material through films than searching images on the internet. That last image is cool, but I think you could make it even better by giving the girl an expression on her face, even just a subtle one. Something to allow the viewer to sympathize with the character easier. It looks like you were going for the 'accepted defeat' look, but at first it seemed like she was unconscious or maybe already dead. Even having her staring at the soldiers that are about to execute her might work well, giving her a sense of defiance until the end. Of course this is really an opinion thing so take it how you want. Your rendering technique on the face and hands of her character is looking great however.

Keep going man!

[Jamie Romoser]

looking great dude
think one thing that could really push your peices is getting a good balence between hard and soft edges
other then that keep up the hard work
looking forward to seeing more
keep burning those pencils and wacom nibs

@Greywoods: Thanks man I never actually intended to finish that one but from all the crit´s and comment´s i gues i better give it a try

@Seraph Fawkes: thaks man, and you´re right i am going to make some changes to the image now and im thinking about making some people closer to the camera witch will make the overall image look deeper

@Jasper_: Thanks alot man. Yeah You are right about the expression she seems... i dunno honestly:/.
Doing movie still´s are awsome I learned alot about how to make moods with atmosphere

@OmertA: Thanks man I know what you mean about the edges and im working on that

another one image update.
This was supposed to be for chow, the theme is night and day but i don´t know if two foetus count´s as characters??


edit: forgot to upload the steps

[Sulphur]

Oh man those fetuses are awesome. Kinda gross, but still very awesome.

[Brahimpag]

oh shit great works

specially like the last ones , movies still's

[Seraph Fawkes]

Good, then it will be balanced well. Cool embrios by the way.

[alexson]

Man your colors are screwed up, in a good way! That girl in the whatayacallit is looking real nice! Just need some touching up in the back/foreground to see what's really going on I think. Meow!

[Loathsome]

Oh hey, I like the moviestills!
Watch the highlight on the babies there, it almost looks a bit artificial. Did you use colordodge? Keep in mind what kind of surface the human skin has. It could have some strong highlights like that if it was wet but even then I think it'd be a bit too strong.

It kinda works on the heads though, cause it looks like it's lit from within. But not so much on the stomachs.

Keep pumping out stuff man!
And thanks for checking by my SB

[Vatsel]

Hey man on some of the studies watch the feature placement - some of them move a bit

keep up

[LeoGr]

Wow, your colours're so amazing, I love them

[Ricardo Robles]

great colors again.
Love when you get rid of the hot/cold color scheme sometimes and focus in a single color range (the 1st and 4th in the movie stills, i. e.) they´re really good exercises.
keep working good man

[BlackDelphin]

What!? I'm on the last page already!!? I want to see mooore!!

Really great job so far!
I really like all those still life you have been doing,
particularly the ones with a bit of more detailed lighting effect like this one or this one

Your landscapes are getting better and better also!
Love the japanese lantern path from here
That skin tone study has some nice rendering and tones.

You could try out something more extreme, more light sources or more colours perhaps.
Find a new challenge!

Cheers

[DK_sketch]

sorry for the lack of updates been to sweeden visiting some friends and when i came back I attracted a virus so i have been coughing my loungs out (making it hard to draw) but now im back on top agai

@Sulphur: Thanks alot sulphur gald you like em, and yeah they are kinda creepy

@Brahimpag: Thanks man the movie still´s where really fun to do you should give it a go if you haven´t allready

@Seraph Fawkes: Thanks man and here is the final for the lady in the stock

@alexson: Thanks man

@Loathsome: Thanks loathsome was a bit late to fix the chow but I know what you mean.
I don´t use color dodge though i guess it just came out with that effect:/

@Vatsel: thanks man i´ll look out fot that in the future

@LeoGr: thanks alot

@Ricardo Robles: Thakns man yeah i have a bit of a preference for cold and warm color schemes i guess it´s becoming a comfort zone:/

@BlackDelphin: hehe here is some more
yeah i have to really take things up a notch if i wanna get anywhere

I managed to finish up the lady in the socks lady/girl... whatever

and then a couple of quick studies. last one is from life

[alexson]

Nice man! Great studies and that piece looks great! Perhaps you could have used the fire light more on her face to tie her into the scene more or something, just a thought. Looking forward to seeing some more of your personal stuff!

[SoundHunter]

cool) It would be great to see more details
I've still have a bad habit to wipe off the edges so they looks unshaped.

[jskotte]

The fetuses and this last painting look really great. Your textures and colors and getting so good

[Ricardo Robles]

Hey man this last illustration became great!
My only suggestion: I´d try to integrate more the face with the heat of the image; you achieved a good tone in her left hand, but the face lightening seems to correspond to a colder lightsource.
The other elements looks really nice, love the reflections in the helmet and the houses in the background. And this studies are cool, quick and very effective.
keep working like this man!

[JoeS]

That latest illustration is awesome, I like all these purplish tones you use in skin, it seems to really work. good image! more pencils!

[Seraph Fawkes]

Nice face rendering and you've catched mood pretty good. However I still think, that her had should a little bit smaller and pushed toward crowd, to show a glimpse of her neck (because right now I can't feel that her neck is in stocks). Also I believe that we should be able to see some of her body, even though mostly she's behind stocks.

Anyway - great rendering - keep pushing yourself forward, man.

[DK_sketch]

Thanks everyone and sorry for the absence

Soooo im back with some images after a looooong break

I have been drawing a bit on and off lately, been ahrd to gather some motivation but i finally broke through and managed to get something done

here are the latest images.
Been trying out some diffrent techniques to see if i can build upon my own and these two are somewhat of a result
