Here's an update from me.
An attempt at a refless painting and a bunch of sketches:

a photostudy that i aborted (ref)


some dude with antlers i painted on my smartphone. i used autodesk's sketchbook mobile, and it's pretty great. it got layers and layer-modes, a good selection of brushes, nice UI and the possibility to save your work as an .psd so you can continue working on your computer. the screen-size is of course a big problem, but on the other side it keeps me from getting too much into details.


photostudy of a pretty cool asian guy w/ a cig (ref)


film noir photostudy (ref)


and this

also done in sketchbook mobile

oh, oh. my breaking bad t-shirt will be up for sale on TeeFury on Saturday, February 18 (and on that day only)

[Fiskepudding]

Jens, I swear your stuff is awesome. It's just nice to look at even if it's not perfectly drawn. It makes me want to draw more as well :>

[kevlar jens]

Many thanks, Fiskepudding

photostudy


monkey knight from imagination


just some sketching done digitally


bammes studies. charcoal and graphite

another photostudy. i couldn't bother finish this one


a lady. painted from imagination


a bunch of sketches.
everything that sports rectangular speech bubbles are self-portaits (save for one Ice Cube sketch)




















and a photostudy of Ron Burgundy that doesn't look like Ron Burgundy at all im so ashamed of myself but at least I got to work on my color and rendering

[kevlar jens]

A portait of Hunter S Thompson, from imagination. No shirt or background though, as I'm dog-tired of this piece. Probably goes to show how I shouldn't focus on individual parts, but rather the the entire thing eeeeh



And here's the greyscale (is there any way to thumb images??)

[kevlar jens]

[Fiskepudding]

Jens, where are your kawaii drawings? cough up! Btw is that Stocking's severed head hovering over Starfox in that last picture?

[DvrJeroen]

I laughed my ass off with the flying cubical feces in post #35
Anyways very neat sketchbook
keep posting!

[kevlar jens]

@Fiskepudding: hehehh, i might do more japanese animes soon oh and yep, that's starfox alright. the head isn't stocking's though

@Jarkuzy: Hah, thanks I will!

[Fiskepudding]

See that wasn't so hard was it? (actually that did take a lot of time, didn't it?)
Anyway cool stuff! What's that last thing?

[kevlar jens]

@Fiskepudding: It's some kind of spaceship/aircraft carrier. You park your ride on top, on the glass disc, and then you can travel down to the tubular living-quarters part. The design's heavily based on a bath scale, luls. And thanks!

Here are some digital pieces done from imagination.

A big fan of orange soda.


and a tribal broad, basking in moonlight. It was originally going to be a chest up thing, but I got tired and cropped it away :/

[kevlar jens]

I feel like I'm not going anywhere at all, so constructive criticism and/or some motivation would be appreciated

Photostudy from Blade Runner




sketchbook pages
































Power Girl, from imagination.

[kevlar jens]

Photo studies! From Inglourious Basterds, and a photograph of Gwendoline Christie (what a name!)





got lazy on the first one, as you might see. i should stop being lazy.

anyways, constructive criticism is very much welcome

[kevlar jens]

Whoopsie! I've been forgetting to update this for a while. Instead of uploading all the stuff I've done since last update, I'll just jump straight to my most recent work.

**

Here's a bunch of figure drawings. I have the hardest time balancing what I know (stuff from anatomy books, Loomis, etc) vs what I see.

I've made a habit to attend around 3-5 figure drawing workshops per week though, so I'll eventually figure (hah!) this out














Tips, tricks, criticism, uplifting words- all welcome

[Fiskepudding]

Cool stuff, Yans! Looking forward to more :3

[kevlar jens]

Domo arigato, fiskepudding ))

[telohs]

Your new stuff is so amazing I want to go jump of a cliff crying happy tears

[kevlar jens]

haha thanks, mayne.
