[Philipp Scherer]

deep deep love from the depth of my heart to you snobby and maerrick

and @maerrick, i do them pretty fast, to say a number 3-5 min. i try to improve lines and my eyes.

i figured out weekends is a bad time for updating^^ to much going on, not working a lot. see it as a timeout, i guess sometimes i just need some breaks

good news, my cough is away, after 4weeks ...already thought its something serious Oo
C&C alwys welcome

sketches,quick selfportrait



wanted to upload a page of storyboard, senseless, i think you can´t figure out anything, and that´s the problem! anyhow here we go

citysketches, i´m finally happy with one the right one is fine, i´ll push the policedepartment more to the ground and give the surrounding skyscrapers some famous brands. message: the economy(interests) is higher than police/ justice - AWESOME


remember the policecar? didn´t liked it and did something new.
drawing cars always remembers me at school, scribbling around with a friend, he was good but never managed to take some time and sit down to practice. good times

littlebit of workover and i am happy with it.

digital studies: monument in ex-juguslavia, ww2 related.


a car in rain, mood study:

another photostudy:


so much for today in my diary : D

[Philipp Scherer]

wooop wooop

did pencils in the morning,

and these in the afternoon and evening, don´t ask what i did between 1am-4am since i have no clue. i just cooked-3h? wtf

took me both ~ 40min


reworked the policecar concept.

[RBeek]

cool stuff man i like ur vehicle designs always quite interesting forms n stuff keep it up buddy!

[Sebastian Gromann]

oh boy... today, crawling out of my bed, i was like: yeah, lets try some vehicel designs now... then i stumbled across your last post... and tought: i'd better give up, seriously D:

[Philipp Scherer]

gosh, hit the ground with this image. spent around 1 1/2 hours on it, arranging colours and stuff. i really like the overall form but i did something wrong. well keep working on it.

moreover it was a little bit out of perspective even in the pencil sketch, didng´t fixed it, even worse now.


and a portrait study...elsa pataky or something like that was her name.


i really suck at protraits, thanks jakob(jatherip, he is the devil!) i felt awesome till i spoke with you

@Rbeek
+@snobby , thanks brobros, was not sure about the vehicledesign but if you like it i think it s fine.
and snobby we both know that you can pwn me within seconds same in vehicle designs. lots to learn there is.

so far-meister yodar (rhime!)

[Philipp Scherer]

did anything but painting today -.-

easy painting in the evening till now though, was fun, i´m happy with the background and with some luck i´ll give the foreground a nice look. focal point is the police station right in the middle of the black nothing^^ i will add i later.
have to work more Oo

light could be more intense?

[Mila]

That last enviro is excellent. I love the mood in it.

[htkpeh]

[Philipp Scherer]

@mila +
@htkpeh: thanks i trust in you, no changes in the mood ;D

[Sebastian Gromann]

Hi! Nice to see you study so much. This is the only way to get better, no technique or special pencil will make you advance except for dedicated thoughtful practice.

For your environments with 2 point perspective in them, you might want to separate the 2 points a little bit farther. As in this image the perspective is very warped because of how close the two points are. If you distance them, it will look more realistic and less squished. Also if you're working from greyscale to color, you might want to overlay the whole image with one or two colors first instead of having select places with color. The grey still in your image makes it look lazy. Dark areas you could fill with blues, purples, etc. No dark place is pure black or pure grey. There's a color to everything.

I like the policecar concept you made a couple posts above. Totally scream Blade Runner, maybe because it looks almost exactly like the police spinners in the film.

Keep up the good work and draw draw draw!

[Mila]

Hmm new work is looking good. :] I like particulary like the latest studies.
That last enviro looks very interesting!

[boj]

very good pencil studies and the environment looks good

[Philipp Scherer]

@mattgamar, lots and lots of thanks for your help!
police car looks "almost exactley like the one from syd mead? well, the fact that its and police car and the recess where the engine normaly is are the only 2 things in common on this flying unit take a closer look.
anyhow, thanks again.

@mila, thanks

@boj thanks

today traditional,...2h? watercolour and white acrylics on a paper that is not made for watercolour, very soon the surface was destroyed : D hard to paint on it.
anyhow traditional rocks!

it´s dinA3 so i did a photo! i hold the camera slightly tilted, so the legs went small and...the head huuge

[Nedacat]

Hey,

ich hoffe es ist ok, wenn ich auf Deutsch schreibe x3

das letzte ist wirklich super! Aquarell rockt echt. Was mich ein bischen stört ist die Nase, aber auch nur bei dem zoom, von weit weg fällt das gar nicht so auf.

Bei deinen Szenen: das erste was du weitergemacht hast, find ich das Gebäude das neu kommt, störend. Schöner wärs wenn du die Szene an sich etwas ausrenderst.

Das zweite ist so super! Ich würd gar nicht weiterarbeiten, es ist einfach so schon genial

Und wegen dem Sketchbook, da fang ich nach Berlin an, wenn ich es überhaupt schaffe.

PS: Freu mich auf we so richtige Kritik könnt ich mal wieder vertragen (und ein bischen mut V_V), freu dich schonmal drauf!...

[jatherip]

you would gain so much by doing studies of how fabric/cloth wrinkles. goto hellooks. study. get better. kisses!
jath

p.s. #369 o.o blade runner. awesome. really.

[Philipp Scherer]

@neda, du bist sowas von frei, tu wonach dir ist^^ du weißt ich schätze deine meinung, aber das neue gebäude bleibt wohl, mir gefällts mehr.
du packst das, ich freu mich auch schon wie blöde

@jakob, wasn´t it you who made me stop doing hogarths drapery stuff? no, for sure, you´re right, my fabric stuff ain´t the best.
thanks for stopping by mate, good to see you.


very good news, i have a new favourite song, stunning! absolutley stunning

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YRd_qsfj9Q

i have to keep it highres, i lost the psd file

[Philipp Scherer]

next day -next song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KehwyWmXr3U#


did this one today -just tired now, just tired

[Philipp Scherer]

finally finished my portfolio for gamedesign in berlin, i hope so much they give me the chance to study there.

EDIT: sorry i have to delete my homework for berlin.

yey, new updates in there. the rest of my drawings is on it´s way to berlin, didn´t had the time to scan them. really busy.

so much, going to paint again now. bye

[Sebastian Gromann]

you are in man, no doubt

[Mila]

I really like your work in #383. Try adding more colour to the whole picture itself so the mood is reinforced. Especially the lighting in the background could really look cool with some warmer lights from outside.

Good luck with your Game design in Germany. I'm sure you'll get in!

[Tawnos]

Na alter

Weißt du schon, wie du dich aufs Gespäch vorbereitest? Glückwunsch zur nächsten Runde btw

[Philipp Scherer]

snobby, abwarten

mila, thanks alot, you´re right, that would have looked better. i shoud try that out

@tawnos: naja, vermute mal ich bereite mich garnicht drauf vor und mach einfach mal weiter wie bisher.


visited friends last week, loading the batteries
now i´m back, i have bought a boook by vanderpoel - following are studies from it.

furthermore a portrait with acrylics and with oil(nun) oil is so much easier to work with, except cleaning everything sucks hard!
nothing digital, i sat enough in front of my pc in the last weeks, really enjoy painting on canvas(paper )

[Philipp Scherer]

I did not make it to berlin, and i don´t want to talk to much about it. had to do that with everyone since noone of my friends could understand why the did not choose me
(well they have no idea about art and the industry, just like me, but they know even less)
fact: i did not make it in there since i failed in the interview. i´ll take this as an experience of high value! this was my first real interview ever.

next aim, internships and searching for alternate opportunities. a pity since i know 100% that studying there is what i am aiming for.
plus i have so much fun developing "slot5" with my friends, this is the field i want to work in one day.

my friend told me about his experience while being a (american) football player in his youth.
They did an exercise: somersault on the ground, grabbing a ball and run till the end of the field. well, he never managed to do a somersault.
He tried and failed, lying in the grass. The coach came absolutley mad!
my fried tried to explain, he is not able make a somersault, but the coach was angry and shout: I DONT GIVE A SHIT IF YOU CAN DO THAT; NOT EVERYBODY IS ABLE TO DO A SOMERSAULT; BUT WHY DON`T YOU JUST GRAB THE BALL AND RUN?

very cool coach, so why don´t i just grab the ball and run

studies vanderpoel.
