Wow i love your enviros! I just really started trying myself, i really love this stuff!

**LMK** · September 24th, 2009, 05:26 PM

hi all, hope your well

Callumbo - I do thumbnail a bit, usually they are just scribbles that get the idea across. I'm trying to put more of a focal point in my work and also trying to lead the viewer too

I'm also a sucker for epic enviros, especially ones that the Guild wars team produce!

Bendragon - cheers man, gonna try and get more depth in my paintings as i go. I'll definately remember those three lvls dude

Diabolique - thankyou for the Kind words

well this one is a WIP trying to further understand light and shadows, i'll try and work on it more.

**jatherip** · October 3rd, 2009, 02:32 PM

i read "environment sketchbook"....sounded promising, so i thought i should check by, and it was totally worth it

playing with shadows is always cool, keep an eye on the values:

Great use of colour and light! Looking forward to seeing more

**Alucid** · October 3rd, 2009, 05:58 PM

Nice work LMK

I'm really looking forward to seeing how you improve. *subscribed* Do you use ps or painter? If at all you dont mind me asking.

**LMK** · October 15th, 2009, 07:21 PM

jatherip - Thank you for checking my sb out dude and thank you for the link, i'll study it for sure XD

Aperson4ever - cheers man, i'll try and do more hahaha

Alucid - hey there, thank you for the nice comment

I use both painter and PS. I find it easier to rough out the basic shapes in painter and then refine detail in PS, though usually it is a constant back and forth process. thank you for visiting dude.

thought i'd post a few thumbs from my analogue SB, not much mostly scibbles i use to get ideas out.

**LMK** · November 11th, 2009, 01:31 PM

Hey ya all, been a while and for that i apologies, going to get back into the swing of it.

here is an interior practice, hope you like

**jatherip** · November 14th, 2009, 07:09 PM

1. thank you for visiting my sketchbook

2. can you tell me how you started of with this piece above? BECAUSE ITS FUCKING AMAZING!!!
3. UPDATE MORE OFTEN PLEASE!

hp · November 15th, 2009, 01:14 AM

nice stuff, i think you could use some more dramatic lighting in a few of your exteriors. not necessarily like crazy sunset lighting but just a little bit to make it pop

**Holland** · November 15th, 2009, 12:27 PM

Great work! Perhaps try upping the contrast a little in places though and adding a few highlights. Keep it up!

**milu** · November 15th, 2009, 02:01 PM

good works, latest work looks very natural
and keep it up

**Bendragon** · November 15th, 2009, 03:07 PM

Looking good! Keep at it! Id like to see more shapes and elements involved in your interiors to break up the regular looking shapes. A wall doesn't have to be too flat, add some raised layers there and carve in slots too!

**LMK** · November 16th, 2009, 04:55 AM

wow these are thanks for the comments guys, really appreciate the feedback.

jatherip - Well I kind of wanted to push myself to do more interior environments, also to push rendering a bit more and try and communicate things better, still a ways to go, I'll try and post more for sure

Hp - thank you for visiting my SB, Lighting is one of the things i'm trying to get right as it really helps an image's mood and believability. I'll try and do more

Holland - cheers man, indeed i can push some of my stuff further with contrast to make things a bit more punchy, thanks for checking my SB out.

milu - Thank you for the kind words, will try and keep em coming

Bendragon - cool dude glad you liked it, was weird i was kinda funny, i had a basic thumbnail as a guide but also corrected and explored some stuff on the way. cheers dude.

Apologies no Pict update.... coming soon lol

**aiRaGe** · November 16th, 2009, 06:02 AM

Yay for environments

Sweet stuff man, keep em coming!

**ilmenhin** · November 18th, 2009, 10:04 AM

That latest image is awesome! Storytelling-wise, the backstory comes up very vividly, makes me wonder who and why did that and for what. The first image you posted drew me in too; it has that impact to it. ^^

Thanks for dropping by my SB by the way- I'd totally pick enviros over characters- but for now it's all practice, practice, practice. Keep painting those enviros! (Actually curious as to what your Character SB would look like- if you did have one.)

**derbz** · November 18th, 2009, 10:41 AM

Digging the internal scene you last posted.

I like the sense of scale your outdoor scenes show, very epic. It's a good start.

**LMK** · November 19th, 2009, 04:13 PM

Hi guys little update for ya

aiRaGe - thank you very much man, will try and do more updates XD

ilmenhin - hey there, glad you liked the image, i like environments as it's a chance to create a whole different world and you gotta think about everything. I guess i should do more characters, maybe i will in future

derbz - thx for swinging by, happy you digging them!

ok so i know these are not environments, but a bit of variety is good, these two are master copies i did from the Zhang Lu's & Jason manley portraits, but i did them in black watercolour to train and get familiar with the medium, hope u like...more envo's soon hehehehehe

hp · November 20th, 2009, 02:24 AM

um wtf why have you not been busting out the watercolor before!??!?!?!?!

awesomeeee

**LMK** · November 20th, 2009, 06:51 AM

haahahhaha, i will try and do more studies in watercolour for sure, will probably do more mono colour though, hahahah cheers HP, i'm glad you liked em, learned alot from em XD

**latigid** · November 20th, 2009, 07:05 AM

Im not one for doing enviros myself but yours are really good great sense of scale in them and interesting to see your thumbs for them. The portraits in watercolour are pretty darn good too keep posting i wanna see some more

**Ivan Turcin** · November 22nd, 2009, 11:22 AM

you have a lot of potential and definitely going in the right direction with environments. Use more details and play with the form.

**LMK** · November 26th, 2009, 05:37 PM

latigid - cheers, thanks for the visit and nice comment

Ivan Turcin - yeah trying to get more detail into my work!! cheers dude
