Never-ending journey - Fundamentals ahead! (Update May 3nd)

[Arti]

Hello my friend :>
I'm still not used to your new nickname. So please, don't be mad when I call you "Sil" sometimes..

To me, it is always great to see your studies. c: The first portrait reminds me of those renaissance portraits...especially the eyes. Did you use any as reference?
Very well done.
Love the penguins... SCHNAUZER!! xD

So und jetzt verkriech ich mich irgendwo weil du weißt schon.. *in Husten ausbrech*

[Nemome]

Arti Thank youuuuuuuu Yeah, it's actually from Leonardo da Vinci "The Lady with an Ermine".
Lauf nur davon! Heute gibts die fertige Version des "BILDES"!

-------------------------------

Update with some sketchbook environments and 100% opacity paintings.
Aaaand also the final version of the portrait. Don't want to take it any further.

Yay!

[Alex Eh]

Voll geil!

[Nemome]

Alex Eh Yo bro!

Stuff from toooday

[marcocasalvieri]

nice studies man, keep it up! from your sketchbook first page, looks like we are sharing same favourite artists! (Da Vinci (), Noah Bradley, Janashi, algenpfleger.. have you ever checked out Tom Scholes? You might really like him too)

[Nemome]

marcocasalvieri Thanks! Tom Scholes looks niiice! Thanks for the tip.

---------------------------------

Stuff from today.
I installed myself the program called "Cold Turkey". It let's you block all websites and games you want to until a specific time you can set.
So I blocked Facebook, different forums and all my games for today.
This daaaaaaay was soooo long! Need to get myself under control again that I can get this output without this "helper"

Sup, enough advertisment, lol.
Here's the stuff from today.
A few perspective studies, a studie after an user called "Snafu" (also a user of ca.org).
And the last painting is a personal piece I started yesterday.

Cheers!

[Nemome]

Hmhmm, not really happy with today's master study.
Perhaps I should have painted more details.

Anyways, here it is and let's get moving to the next pieces.

Cheers!

[Purim]

Good process, especially the last one is really great. Keep going! Immer weiter so :3

[Nemome]

Purim Thanks man!

-----------------------------------

Didn't get so much time today, so I just drew a two environment ideas for team challange.

Cheers!

[BlackDelphin]

I see you doing a lot of construction work, great job!
Nice, solid results. Nice amount of details as well.

Keep those posts coming!

[Nemome]

BlackDelphin Thanks Cristina!

------------------------

My homepage went online.
It's not a masterpiece, but it will get the job done if people ask for a place to see my stuff.
When I get professionell someday I'll redesign it again. To some more kickass looking, lol!

That's basically what I worked on today.

[BlackDelphin]

Pixelwalker hope you'll be posing some more of your work real soon!
Particularly more of your envo stuff i'm looking forward to. Both digital and traditional.

[Ramalooke]

Oh look at me. My name is Pixelwalker and I have some fancy new updates and some decent improvements going on here. O-ho! ;]

[Nemome]

BlackDelphin Need to get my ass up more often, hehe. Thanks for stopping by ^.^

Ramalooke Lol, love you rama

---------------------------------

Yeah, managed to go to life drawing for the first time in my life.
2 hours, with quick gestures first and then longer and longer poses. Longest one was "only" 20 minutes.
But while drawing her I really noticed that there's still sooooo much to learn.
Need to get more accurate when drawing.
And I still tend to do ugly lines when I feel unsure while drawing.
Mooore practicing. ~

Thanks for stopping by!

[Pete Hidalgo]

Dude awesome perspective works with your environments. How did you change your display name?

[Arti]

July 19th - The cat is so inspiring.
;D

[Nemome]

Time to try out the new ConceptArt.org

I know, it's been a while since my last post but there was a lot of school stuff to do till now.
But most of it is over for the next 4 weeks so I can draw more again.
I am so happy when school is over and I can go to art school. I don't want to learn math anymore!

So here's just a big bunch of pure randomness!






Thanks for stopping by!

PS: Jeeeeeeeeeeeeesus, that new upload manager is a crime. If I want to upload multiply images at once then I need to fill in Owner, Tags and all this things. If I use the easy uploader then i can just upload one image at once.
Phuuu. And it took me some time to arrange the pictures again in their right order. I hope they will still work on it. ^^

[Nemome]

Threw a couple of thumbnails together this evening at my friends atelier.
He was doing them traditionell and me digital.

Was a lot of fun. You can cleary see how much I struggled with the first ones.
5 minutes each.

[Nemome]

Yay.
My website / blog relaunched.
It's now made under blogspot to keep it simple. I am very happy with the result.
Be sure to check it out: http://lukasesch.tk/

And then also some gestures and a portrait completely from imagination.
Not very happy with the result of the portrait.
Soooo much to learn!

[Ramalooke]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyy. Tones of awesome art jucie. You want to pump those art muscules in your head. Do some anatomy push ups xd

[Nemome]

Ramalooke Thanks man. Yeah I definitely need to get my anatomy practices running again. But there's sooo much I want to learn.

-------------------------------------------

Small update.
Today's portrait from photo reference.
Sadly, it took me way longer than expected, but on the other side I am quite happy with the result.

Thanks for stopping by!

[Nemome]

Heyheyhey he. he... h... asleep.

Right now it's very late here in Germany - 3:34am!

I had to help my parents out for the whole day and then I went to my friends to watch a movie.
While I drove home I was totally amazed by the sky and how the light reflected everywhere.

So I basically had to paint this quick one (quick, haha... 3hours!) completely from imagination.
It's truly not a masterpiece and I am very sleepy now.
Anyways, need to sleep.
Here's the painting. I hope it doesn't appear to dark on some screens.

Thanks for stopping by!

[Nemome]

Heyaa!

Proud to present you Daenerys Targaryen from Games of Thrones.
Not very happy with the portrait. Took me very loong and there are a lot of outlines looking through.
And memo:
- PRACTICE HAIR! ._.

Plan for tomorrow is to do a few simplified heads with rendered hair.

Thanks for stopping by!

[Alex Eh]

Hey nice stuff Lukas! Man Conceptart.org is so much nicer to use now!!!

Watch the back of your heads, I think your makeing the craniums to small

[Valyavande]

I think Daenerys skin is much too dark in your portrait. She has a very light skin and the background is kind of bright too. So the light on her skin and of the background doesn't really match. Make it lighter and softer. Maybe use even some soft edges, that'll help to get rid of the outlines.
But I have to admit, I see some progress on this page =) You're on your way. Studies are starting to work better and better. Keep it up!

[BlackDelphin]

Hey there! Where are those simplified heads with rendered hair?!
Good thing to see you pushing a drawing towards a more rendered, finished look.

Mind i suggest concentrating more on the atmosphere. Think of the part of the day
the action takes place, and try thinking of the edges, whether it is soft or hard,
and try representing this in a way, in a artistic way, in your personal way.

Cheers

figures on #694 are great you do need to spend a lot of time studying basic forms though, for example the glass of liquid in #694 is very off. keep going at it

[Zauselbart]

@Pixelwalker:
hi, your stuff is really great!
give attention to the middle line of the head and look for the great proportions!
i like the colors maybe a little bit to dark

i did e little paint over -
i hope you don't bother!

thanks for uploading

[Nemome]

My sketchbooks got merged thanks to BlackSpot!
Due some problems with my old account (Pixelwalker) a few months ago, I created a new one (this one - Nemome) and a new sketchbook. BlackSpot was so nice to merge the two sketchbooks together again, but my accounts still aren't merged (have to wait until an admin has the time to do it).
Sorry if you are / were confused!

[Nemome]

Tried out the black and white thing Mr.Delicious and Miles_ were doing in their sketchbooks.
I have to admit, it's freaking fun.
